pie. Under our institutions no man
has hfe lease of office. John Hal
ley has held public position in Idaho
$50 long that the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary" and now
has the impotence 20 ask for a
third term as delegate
If there was no other man capable
OF serving the people of Idaho in
Congress it might look better to send
John HALEY as delegate for third
term. To give the old man a third
term would give the people of the
union poor opinion of Idaho timber.
Neither John Haley or either of
his strikers has attempted to explain
away his record made at the Eleventh
session Of the Idaho legislature in
,tabling Governor Neil's message rec
ommendlng Legislation unfriendly to
Mormon disloyalty.
""'''' ih"ii0y I'd" inc i'ght 10 appoint
cadet for West Point from the Ter
ritory. There were no bows in Idaho
good enough for him, so he selected
an Indiana boy-most likely rela-
tive.
The reason the Utah Mormon church
organ and bishop are so universally
supporting John Haley is not only
because of his past record in the Ida
no legislature but because he has
managed to make the Edmunds bill
null and void because of his neglect
to procure an appropriation to run the
courts and punish polygamists.
John HALEY has been elected to
Congress twice in the Territory of
Idaho Is it possible that there is no
one else in his faction capable Of SER
wing the people: Must this old man
be holsted upon the people of Idaho
the balance of his life and until he
can get all the rest of his kin IN office.
The people are not generally in favor
OF third terms.
| 1t is hard thing to tell what John
r HALEY has done in Congress but easy
to tell what he did not do. He has
procured fewer appointments of resi-
dents to Office than any delegate
| from any other Territory except the
delegate from Utah. The following
appointments were nonresident:
United States Assayor Brayden, of
Indiana, who was transferred to He
lena and Wilde, of New York, ap-
t pointed in his place; Surveyor Gen
4 eral Strahan, of Indiana, Chief Justice
r Hayes, of Wisconsin, Indian Agent
t Gallagher, Fort Hall agency, of Vir-
. ginia, the Indian Agent of Nez Perez
agency, Of Massachusetts, F. W.
5 Beane, register at Oxford, who
failed to be confirmed; J. ". Jones,
Superintendent of the Indian school,
Fort Hall reservation, of Arkansas,
i who was dismissed, and his successor
J, appointed from the same state. There
5 are probably many more whose names
we cannot recall
If there was anything on earth
Ineeded to bring the Mormon cause
into more supreme contempt it is the
e ridiculous farce being played by
II Spence and AinsIie in Bear Lake
county. Spence and some other
shallow Mormons have called an In
dependent convention, to be held at
! Paris, wishing to have it appear that
II the Mormons are dissatisfied with
! Haley. This IS done to hep HALEY
n in other parts OF the Territory with
r anti Mormons, and that use may be
. made of it on the stump. Spence
V sets up a few pins and goes back to
n Boise, where Alnslie gives him fur

e dirty enough for Spence to figure L
