Boise Democrat. Dec 81: Upon
the invitation OF George Ainslie, L.
A. and G. G. Stevenson and Sam
Hays, about an equal number Of
other Democrats recently met Mr..
Hull from Pueblo, Colorado, to talk
up the establishment Of another
Democratic paper in Boise. The
three first named gentlemen did all
the talking on their side. Mr. Aims
lie told Mr.. Hull that he could not
promise him a bonus but that he
would pledge hi n the support of
half the Democratic party Of Idaho
should he commence the publica-
ton Of newspaper in this place.
Mr.. Hull replied that he did not
want financial aid; that all he de-
sired would be the support Of the
party. After few further remarks
the meeting adjourned and Sam
Hays began looking up building
for the new paper.
The Idaho Democrat would re-
speetfully suggest TO Mr.. Ainslie,
chairman Of the Democratic State
Central Committee, that instead Of
giving encouragement towards the
establishment Of another paper in
Idaho, he had better call caucus
and devise ways and means to pay
those already running-and which
have for years battled for the party
through veal and woe-the amounts
due them for advertising and job
work done during the campaign last
fall.
The Democratic State Central
Committee, Of which Mr.. Ainslic il
chairman, owes the Idaho Demo
crat, for advertising and job work, a
balance Of ninety dollars.
The Democratic State Central
Committee, of which Mr.. Ainslie is
chairman, owes Col. j. w. Jones, Of
the Blackfoot News, the sum of two
hundred and thirteen dollars for
advertising and job work done in
the campaign Of last fall.
The Democratic State Central
Committee, of which Mr.. Ainslie is
chairman, owes j. l.. Brown, of the
Moscow Star, the sum of four hum
dred and fifty dollars for adver-
Using and job work done in the
campaign last fall.
This advertising and job work
were done on the order of the State
Democratic Central Committee. of
which Mr.. Ainslie is chairman. 1t
is reasonable 10 assume, however,
that all the members of the State
Central Committee are not aware of
this Indebtedness.
1t is Mr.. Ainslie's privilege To
give encouragement 10 bring an
other paper here, but if he should
do no better by il than he has for
those already in the State its pro-
prietor would have to draw on his
bank account for its existence. The
chairman of the State Central Conn
mittec should see that its honest
debts are paid before promising the
support If the party to n new paper.
Another Democratic paper might
live in Boise, but its endurance
would not be prolonged should its
proprietor endeayor TO run il in the
interest and be under the control Of
handful of disgruntled and half
bottomea Democratic politicians.
The Idaho Democrat feels thank
fnl that Mr. Ainsle did not turn
the other half of the Democratic
party Of Idaho over f. the new pm
per. lie could have done il but
didn't, in which he was magnani.

Truly the above places George
Ainslie in n very unenviable posi-
ton. He withholds from the noise
Democrat It's just dues and Mt the
same-timc is endeavoring To start
nm opposition paper. Aud why?
Simply because lac can not mold
Brother Eoyakin's opinions at his
own will. II won't work. The name
Of the venerable and able editor of
the Idaho Democrat Is esteemed III
nearly every Democratic household
in Idaho. Some may differ with
him in a few Of his political ex
pressions. but They know that "Jud
is sincere in his convictions and
honor him for his sincerity. Mr.
Hull, for his peeuniary interest, had
better abandon the idea Of running
opposition 10 the Boise Democrat.
FIR, ne think, even with Ainslie a.
editor and Hays rs business man
nger, Mr.. Hull's new enterprise
could not float thres months.
But 10 return to our mutton: II
Is the misfortune Of the Idaho
Democracy to have central com
