CORRUPT DUBOIS!
Condemned and beaten to Death
by his own Party!

lican newspaper in its issue of Aug. 81,
said of Dubois:
"That charges of grave character will
be laid at his door by his opponents, as
soon as the campaign opens, provided
he is the nominee, and the republican
party will be put on the defensive du-
ring the whole campaign, cannot be
questioned nor doubted for single mo-
ment. 1t is not necessary to say what
those charges will be. 1t is enough to
say that the air was full of serious COM
plants during the last campaign in
Oneida county, and in matters of per-
sonal, political and Official character,
which will formulate into charges,
backed by affidayits, even more bitter
than in the Singser campaign, that will
put him and his party, as we have said
before, all the time on the defensive,
and bring disatfection in his own party,
and unite the democracy solidly against
him."
The following affidavits are the
"charges of grave character" referred to.

tory of Idaho, d. p B. Pride, attorney
general for said Idaho territory, and
upon oath deposes and says that he has
been we'll. acquainted with Fred T. Du-

fact that at Eagle Rock the ballot box
was stuffed by more than three hundred
ballots for the republican candidates for
county and territorial Offices; and that
he has the best of grounds to believe
assistance of marshal Dubois that the
grossest frauds were perpetrated during
the last election in Oneida county.
That the said marshal Dubois boosted
to him that he had carried Oneida
county for the ticket, and that Eagle
Rock precinct had given greater ma
jority for the anti-mormon ticket $50
called) than there were legal voters in
the precinct; that when the clerk of the
board OF canvassers for said county had
refused to sign certificates of election to
the men upon his ticket, he had boosted
one G. j. Bassett into the room Through
the trapsom) where the clerk was sitting
while he and twenty men with guns
stood upon the outside, that said Bassett
unlocked the door from the inside and
admitted them and that they by force
compelled the said clerk to sign certifi-
Gates of election to the men upon his
ticket. That said marshal Dubois has
prostituted his office to carry his own
points and for private gain. That
armed with an open venire, he has
packed the United States grand jury
for the purpose of crushing politica
enemy whom he thought stood in the
way of his political advancement. Thai
the moral character of Dubois is bad
that he visits houses of prostitution
| that he visits saloons and CANDLES ant
that he is not fit to perform the duties o
his office great part of the time OF
| account of being intoxicated.
