CuCKeNS THAT CANE HONE TO
kOOST.

Last Saturdays Mountain Home
Bulissin loudly laments what it calls
Bellcvus's .perGdy. Here is ono Of
tho articles which it published on this
subject:
= Rx4EABKR BxLLEvUE. - Hence
forth aad forever let the good people
of fillmore remember With scorn aud
hatred the scoandrels in BELLEVUE who
betrayed Mountain Home. It,,
promised Us through q. H. Porter
that II we would stand in for their
taxpayers candidate, Wilton, they
would in return give Us ballot for
ballot for our division ticket. During
election day they deceived George L.
Wall, who was there, by representing
that the division ticket was receiving
- liberal support at their hands-and
after thus pouring the soup into Wall
they doubtless retired to some seclud
gu spot to drink to their treachery.
Old Wilton or Larsen-either one
could have obtxinsd = dozen votes
for division as easily as did G. P.
Hall get that number for his brother
Adm, but they did not desire it in
that way.
HALEY made manly fight against
US while Bellevue pretended friend
ship for Us, but proved false and even
gave a number of this HALEY ring
candidates handsome major.ties. Oh,
the deiectable curs-may HALEY al
ways be able to outvote them and
retain the county-seat which was
undoubtedly obtained by fraud whe"
it was removed from Rocky Bar,
should DO the wish Of every honest
man in Gilmore.
Some Of our people are inclined to
,ccnsnre George l.. Wall, who went
70 Bellevue to aid the division ticket
This is wrong. Wall was deceived
AMI was almost paralyzed H, the
counting of tho votes. Such fellows
% Wall had to deal with at Bellevue
would betray Christ himself, under
similar oircums' ances.
In the first place, we desire TO en-
ter our protest against such language
ss this. 1t is despicable at any time,
aud should be indlctab!e, if it is not 50
already. And in the next place, we
say that the PEG pie of Mountain Home
were served Alright. They refused to
send delegates to the Democratic
County Convention, and, consequent.
", retained their liberty Of action a.
to the nominees Of that Convention
Bat they did send delegates to tn
Republican Convention, and ,heir rep
resentatives, speaking in their behalf
expressed themselves as opposed tc
division IN the present unsettled con.
dition Of the county. Those delegates
took part in every act of that Conven.
tion, and were in honor bound to up
hold what was as much their work as
that Of any man., Ct set OF mon, there.
Yet George l.. Wall, the very man
appointed on the Republican County
Central Com mittee, WAS one Of the
6rst and most prominent movers in
the division matter, and his acts were
Endorsed by his home precincts. If
such actions are honorable, or wise, or
prudent for = community to indorse,
I'll. n we DO not undo rstand the bind.
ing value Of any obligation, voluntari.
" assumed. II we do understand it.,
and our understanding is in accord,
snce with the notions which have
hitherto, and which will al ways, pre-.
vail with honorable men, then the &C
tons of the people Of Mountain Home
ana vicinity, in this instance, are to-
t,h II trlrEsible, ,nd they have there.
f r. 10 just cause for complaint
aguns, Bellevue.
\, any rate, newspaper should
not, because of an alleged breach of
faith on the part OF \ few, brand =
while community AS sco"ndrels, ours,
etc.
We have seen great deal OF the
people of Bellevue during the past
campaign, Aud We cheerfully confess
tina, We had formed a" outrageously
T.,
erroneous opinion OF them; aud that
they. Us a rule. are guided IN their &C.
tinns hy the very highest Of motives.
To sum up the whole matter in
few words: Mountain Home de-
c-ived the Republicans of Alturas.
AMI WAS in turn deceived by q few
. Residents of Bellevue. I, is = clear
case OF "chick ens coming home to
roost.." 5
