Mountain Home bulletin. (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1888-1889, 1888-11-17
SHOT FROM THE FERRY.

the 10Th inst. the people Of Glenn's
Ferry find that Mountain Home
basely sold an Gilmore County man
c. C. Glenn, man Of unquestion-
able honor and integrity, and a
mans true friend, as we'll
as an old soldier, for one Of the
Wood River Gang" against whom
the people Of Mountain Home air
their grievances. The man in this
instance is J. s. Wilton, rene
gade Republican and a person Of
odious reputation among the labor
ing class Of Wood River Country.
Mr.. Wilton appeared before the
Republican Convention for the NOM
inatioh for the Commissionership
but was finally defeated by Mr.. c.
c. Glenn. Many of the Delegates
to that convention were members of
the Knights of Labor and the
Miners Union. These men ren,cm-
bered Mr.. Whitton's conduct in the
spring of 1885 when American
miners stood up for their rights
against British Corporation, the
Minnie Moore Mining Company.
Did Mr.. Wilton then seek to pro-
tect American labor against foreign
monopoly? Ask the miners of
Broadford. In caucus of the del
egates Of this Commissioner District,
the evening before the nominations
for Commissioner, the Republican
Delegates from Broadford tx of l.
men) appeared and said to the Del
egates assembled, Gentlemen we
have a grieva nee to lay before you
against one who seeks from you the
nomination for Commissioner. This
one is Wilton of Bellevue. He is
foe to the toilers of Idaho. When
we struck for our rights three years
ago in Broadford he literally howled
for our defeat. He assumed the
position of a Pinkcrton and when
he could not down us by law, he
roared for a vigilance committee
and powder and lead for u.s." AS
the principle plank in the Repub-
lican Platform to-day is protection
to American labor, Mr.. Wilton,
as an enemy to the laborer, and
consequently to the Party (as he
subsequently showed himself) was
defeated and the honorably dis
charged soldier, honest mechanic
and true Republican became the
nominee of the Party. Whittor
now acted the part of the renegade
to the party. A good Republican
or Democrat bows to the decision O
a convention, but the scab or sor,
head assumes the Independent Can
didacy. If Wilton had not placed
his name before the convention fol
the nomination there would be n,
cause of complaint but under thu
present circumstances all true Re
publicans of this District, in gen
eral and Glenn's Ferry in partic
ular have grievance against hin
and it will be remembered in time
to come, should he ever become =,
candidate for any county office.
Voters of Mountain Home, 20,
claim to have a grievance agains
Bellevueites, but stop and thinl
how you acted toward your siste
town, of Elmore. Glenn's Ferr,
delegates, in the the Republican
Convention, supported Van Schail
of Rocky Bar and Wall of Noun
tain Home for the Assembly. ON
of Glenn's Ferry's Delegates, VIII
was Secretary of the Convention, wa
requested to have his name PLACED
for nomination, for the Assembly
but he positively refused in orde
to leave the field clearer for Georg
Wall. The same person proposed
Mr.. Wallis name for the nomina
ton. 1t would thus seem as though
Glenn's Ferry was willing to stant
by Mountain Home and would b.
entitled to some recognition from
that Burg on the 9th of November
On the day before election tw'
emissaries of the Division part,
came here with the Division Tic
kets and the majority of the Dem
ocrats and Republicans switche,
off from the straight ticket ant
went the Division way. Many
stayed with the old ship and to-day
they are thankful they did SO, aftel
what occurred. The men who cam
here interested in the Division Tic
ket informed US that Mountain
; Home was supporting Glenn ant
one of them started for Mountain
Home on the forenoon of the 6tl
saying he was going to see tha
Glenn "got there" in that City
Mountain Home deceived Glenn
Ferry and for the 80 Division vote
here, gave Glenn's Ferry's maj
four. Honor to these four MEN
Glenn's Ferry has certainly a griev
ance against "The Windmill City.
She downed our man in return 70
: what Glenn's Ferry did for her.
