IT. Tnl But
1ho Republican Convention oi 1883
adjourned last Thursday, and INDUCED
in the usual ceremonies OF turning
down good old rye and popping cham
payne corks. To tho uninitiated "all
went merry as u marriage bell bu
to the knowing ones there is a bitter
ness unbeatable.
The manipulators and managers OF
the convention were: "Tho Father OF
HALEY" ". 4. Riiey--the lesser pc
litical lights, james II. Beatty, George
Governor Black, l.. Price, s. Bungout
Kingsbury, l. N. Sullivan and J. Salt
river Waters. There were small fry,
but too small to need any attention.
These bosses, headed by Supreme Boss
Riley, laid out the work and pushed
it down the throat Of the convention.
| wish to cali the attention OF the vo
tiers Of Western Alturas to one plank
IN the platform, made for their special
benefit and intended to catch their
support, 1t is the plank that refers to
the division scheme, 1.-The apple OF
their eye" as it were, to Western Al !
turas. This plank, in substance, says
chat division OF counties has nothing
to do with politics, nor political par lie
il is matter to be left entirely with
the legislature These same political
bosses of HALEY openly state to the
residents Of HALEY that this plank was
. / 10, I,,t,l, iln Afa &c NJ
Alturas for their legislative ticket, but
eve have nominated legislative
ticket that have given their personal
pledges to stand in against division"
: This fact is as well known in HALEY
, as the Haileyits know the sun rises
and sets. 1t is common comment
This is a slick, sugar coated pill, meant
to work OF any obnoxious feeling cx-
listing in Western Alturas, and make
that section full Of harmony and good
feeling for the Republican legislative
tcket. The query is, will he pill have
; the desired effect? Make these legis-
e lative gentlemen come to the front on
| this statement, AS given. If denial
: is entered quiet and unassumine
: statement will be furnished that will
:, make it true beyond any pe:adventure
The said HALEY politicians never
overlook Hailey's pets. With them
- Haley first and last is a motto. The,
' firmly believe in the old adage, tina
J. Good helps them who help them
e selves" and they fully carry out tn,
i precept taught therein. The precinct
- outside Of HALEY have nothing il
~ common with HALEY, and they mus
N take the HALEY prescription, il tn
dose is nauseating. The HALEY Re
