are democrats IN BlaCkt00t, and
prominent ones, who will not speak to
MIN at all.
1t seems, in the lower counties, to be
question of trick on the one hand,
and an endeavor to checkmate on the
other, and the outlook for Democrats
| seems very blue, since they feel the
Judge has made common cause with
| Republicans against them. He is for
ever with Richardson, the rank Repub-
lican clerk of his court, and il is mat
ter of common repute and is published
in the Idaho prints, that if Dubois is
elected he will support Berry in his
| position as Judge before Harrison, if
Harrison is chosen President. To a
rational man this is very watery basis
on which to build hope of future public
pap. but men "be queer. VERY queer, in
| indeed" Berry's associates are all Re-
publicans, but the Judge may not be to
blame for that. Many
SELF RESPECTING DEMOCRATS WILL NOT
RECOGNIZE HIM.
Sheriff Taylor. so the story goes, has
started out two gangs OF men to make
arrests of Mormons in Gentle Valley
and in Rexburg who have registered.

BINGHAM COUNTY BANKRUPTED,
The appointment of the supervisors
makes them Republicans in the main,
since blue Grass" Smith and Stand
rod made their suggestions and the
Democrats would not. But the ap-
pointment of deputy sheriffs, their ex-
penses in arresting Mormons. the ex-
penses OF bringing Mormons from
distant precincts to BIackfoot. their
probable retention in the control of the
sheriff until the next Grand Jury
! meets, will all fall upon the county.
hO P4OpOlSJ dAO are nOI
equal to SO heavy a drain.
Democrats claim that there are
abundant evidences to prove
JUDGE BERRY's DISCRETION
of them; and the latest was the way in
which he checked any Interference in
the appointment for supervisor of one
Hopkins. HOPKINS had been very
prominently identified with remark
able development of voting popula-
zion ia Muddy Greek two years ago.
There was then no registration law,
but Muddy Greek, which with popu-
latlon now almost double what it was
then, has only tWenty-three registered
voters, nevertheless polled SO votes in
1886, 81 of which went tor blue Grass"
Smith for the Legislature. The re.
markab!e thing about this is the fact
that the Muddy Creek returns did not
come in Ior very long time.
Wicked ones declare that Muddy
Creek returns spake not until it was
asCertained what blue grass" S
needed to get him into the Legislature;
and then crisd aloud and "blue grass
got there. Well, when Hopkins
name was mentioned j. Ed. Smith,
who attended because he was sum-
moned, arose and blandly remarked
that they were familiar with the
miracle in behalf of one Smith at
Muddy Creek two years agone, and did
not like to be paries to an event which
might produce recurrence of works
that were probably tolerated 1900 wears
ago. but which for lack of faith or
other reasons, were not desirable in
this practical age. To this effect, if
not in this language, spoke the said !.
Ell. Smith of the one "blue grass"
Smith, whereupon he was informed by
Judge Berry that the court did not care
to hear political speeches. The court
may not nave been guilty of the street
idiom, "Sit down, Smith," but Smith
sat down nevertheless because the
Judge sat down upon him, and Hop
klns prevails.
THE CoLLIER-SULLIvAN CASE.
Months ago an old man, believe he
was named Peterson, was drugged, rob-
bed and died. A coroner's jury returned
verdict that he met his death by the |
completely of one Collier, Dan Sullivan |
and others. They were arrested and |
brought before the grand jury. That |

slaughter, though it is said they were
disposed to do so, because County At
torney Bennett contended an indict-
ment for robbery was severe enough, |
and it was so returned Collier has |
never been tried for this case and it still |
hangs. He has, however, been sitting |
on the recent trial jury, and was one of |
the men who found verdict against A. |
s. Anderson, the Mormon convicted of |
perjury because he registered. This |
fact was called to the attention of Judge |
Berry, and he said he would look into |
it. There the looking into it ends. The
Collier family, it is said, have four or
five votes.
OF course, your readers are &C
