The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1892-11-26


full conclusion. His business ability
and integrity is unquestioned. Like
MI Gwinn, he is republican, but we
trust he will see the error of his WAYS
and get over into the reform ranks.
g. w. PAUL.
Here we have a hard headed tiller of
the soil, whose judgment is good and
whose backbone is strong enough to
back it on all occasions. He is an old.
timer in Idaho and has, on different
occasions, served the public faithfully
and we'll. He has ranch near the
mouth of the Boise on Snake river
G. W. Paul is too well known as an
honest, sincere, brainy man, for THE
TRIBUNE to add to his reputation
He has been a lifelong democrat, but
this year marched under the populist
banner.
WILLIAM IRETON.
The newly-appointed sheriff is a
a prominent and prosperous farmer
living near the town of Payette. He
came to Payette in '83 from Utah,
driving through with small cayuse
team-having less than $500 in his
purse when he reached Boise valley.
He entered his present homestead and
went to work and is now one of the
solid men of the new county. For sew
eral years past he has been an active
worker in the party of his faith--the
republican-and his counsel in political
matters is much sought. He was in no
sense a candidate for the honor which
has suddenly been conferred on him.
THE TRIBUNE introduces Mr.. Ireton
to its readers as a man who stands high
in his own community, which in itself is
enough recommendation that the Office
OF sheriff is in competent hands.
JOHN T. KEEGAN.
Ournew county clerk and recorder is
, newspaper man, which is also suffi-
cient recommendation for his fitness
for the position. He has done newspa-
per work on most of the leading dailies
Of the country and has a large acquaint-
ance with the leading men of the state
and nation. Having an eye to business
he saw the land in this favored country
would be very valuable, and accordingly
q year or two ago he took up valu-
able claim near Payette, where he re-
sides. Keegan is also a republican,
but he acts as though he was sorry for
it, and we think he is. Keegan claims
to be the best looking man in the
county.
JAKE HORN.
The man who will do the assessing
and collect the taxes of the new
county is a Nebraska production.
About two years ago he left that coun-
try in search of pastures new and set
tied in tho fair young town of Nampa,
where he published the Nampa Leader.
BY hard work and close attention
to business he soon amassed
a competency latter the manner Of
country newspapers) and is now sup
posed to be living on the interest Of
his money. While he has publicly so
stated, it is the general opinion that he
will not touch the salary attached to
his Office, but will donate it to a hos
pital for inebriate printers which he
contemplates starting. He is repub-
lican Of the deepest dye and says he
will contest Keegan's claim as the
prize beauty to the bitter emo.
NJ. r. JENKINS.
The subject of this sketch was rails

about the timc the writer was born,
and is still at it. He owns valuable
ranch property near Middleton. He is
we'll qualified for the position of pro-
bate Judge, being honest and unpreju-
diced. 1t is safe to say that fine law
points will not defeat the ends of JUS
tice in Judge Jenkins court. The
only crime he Is accused of Is that he de.
serted the democratic party for the
populists in the last campaign.
HOWARD sEBREE.
The man who will handle the "lucre'
belonging to the people of the new
county win probably not have much
trouble in furnishing bonds. In fact
The TRIBUNE is willing to 60 bis
bondssf0r 81, 100000 at any time. Mr.
Sebree is man Of wealth, has property
in a dozen different states, and it is
thought that with the salary attached
to his new office he will make a very
