The Family Jar Among the
Idaho Republicans.
DEMOCRATS ENJOY THE SHOW
Serious Charges Made That Are Liable TO

PocATELLo Idaho, Feb. 13.-[Special 10
THE HERALD. The Republicans in this
county are having good-sized fuss among
themselves, and the Register, of Idaho
Falls, and the Enterprise of Malad, both
Republican journals, are pitching into the
county officials who are all Republicans
and making various charges against the
different ones; the peculiar thing being
that they are of the same political CON-
plexion. The quarrel seems to have
started among the county officials, and
the breach widening they talk right
out against each other and make
some very serious charges. Things became
so confused that at the last session of the
district court, the grand jury recommel-
ded, and Judge Stanrod Instructed the
county commissioners to appoint experts
TO go over the books, but it seems that by
technical point the commissioners books
will be passed without examination. The
commissioners some time ago refused to
allow the clerk of the court clerical as
sistance as requested and this in itself has
caused several
STATE Secrets TO BE GIVEN AWAY.
Then the commissioners appointed Hon. T.
M. Stewart as consulting attorney and
suddenly a war cloud hung over his head,
and at their last meeting he was bounced,
but he held yearly contract which they
proceeded TO declare void. He Is now pre-
pairing to bring suit for fulfllment of con-
tract. The delinquent tax list was given
TO the Pocatello Tribune and the bill rem
dered was for over 81, GOO. The commits.
sioners cut it in two and the editor intends
bringing suit Tor the balance. All these
things have assisted in the rupture which
seems to be enlarging. The Democrats are
standing by and watching the fun, claim
ing that when thieves fall out then the
honest people will get a chance. This
quarrel is not alone confined TO Bingham,
county; as noted in the special dispatches
to The herald, the state officials in Boise
are having the same kind of fuss, and
the exposures have been coming pretty
rapid during the past seven or eight
months. From one county comes the re.
port that
