Elmore bulletin. [volume] (Rocky Bar, Idaho) 1889-1906, 1894-09-01


lican OF this place follows the Boise
Statesman as closely as a pack
mule does bell-mare, and for stu
/ pidity he deserves leather medal.
The Statesman in very much wor-
ried over the assertion. by that COR
respondent in regard TO the appoint
ment Of officers Of the newly organ
lied county Of Elmore--claiming
that Governor Stevenson gaYe Re-
publicans the preference. when every
one in this county and every one
who knows that stiff-back old war.
horse of Democracy can brand such
as utterly false. The appointments
were made upon recommendation of
Democrats Of this county and were
entirely satisfactory to them, and
the very large majority which Ste.
venson will receive here this fall
will be ample proof Of this asser-
ton. Great stress is placed upon
the appointment of ID. C. Waldron
county attorney. II is q well known
fact that Homer Stull, democrat,
was first rendered the appointment,
but he declined, and Waldron be-
ing the only remaining attorney in
the county was rendered it and like
all Republicans do. when they get
an opportunity, jumped into the
Office with both feet. Republicans
and Democrats worked alike for the
formation of Gilmore county, the
act was passed by a Republican
legislature, and recognizing these
facts the Democrats most directly
interested never murmured, but left
it for the Statesman, at this late
day, to kick against Governor Ste
venson for appointing four Repub-
licans and seven Democrats officers
of the new county Of Gilmore. The
Statesman is in a hard way for some
political thunder. III it is in real
earnest about working reform we
would suggest that it expend some
of its surplus eaergy in an expose OF
tie frauds of the present Repub-
lican State administration touching
upon the prostitution of the treas
urer's office, etc.
No self-respecting Republican in
Gilmore sheuld vote for Mcconnell,
because Nc. furnished the money
that defeated Charlie Oliver for the
senate four years ago. He pre-
ferred a Democrat to Shoup Re-
| publican. No citizen Of Gilmore
should vote for Mcconnell, because
during the last legislature Nc. went
far beyond decency, as governor, to
aid old Alturas pending considera-
tion of the apportionment bill, and
had his efforts proved successful
Gilmore would now be bankrupt.
The Statesman is in a stew be-
cause. while territorial governor,
Mr.. Stevenson appointed his own
son to Office, but does not tell us
that Lincoln, Grant, Harrison, Car
Isle, Judge Hays, Judge Weir, Gov.
Mcconnell and hundreds Of others
have appointed sons and daugh-
ters to like positions.
All Democrats and large num-
Der of honest Republicans in Idaho
say that they are going to vote FOR
Stevenson. Why7 Because he has
the backbone to rip up and go to
the bottom of the cursed, rotten,
thieving ring that now hold posi-
tions in the Statehouse.
The present Idaho state admins
tration is Republican and it has
collected IS cents on every 800
worth of property in the State, yet
it has created deficiency of about
$4,000.
We wonder if Bunting secured
the nomination for State Treasurer
ON the Rep. ticket as did Hill, by
consenting to do business with the
same depository of funds?
The income tax is a jugular blow
to the plutocrat. He is going TO
make side jumps to avoid the tax
gatherer.
A. C. Cleveland is the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor of
Nevada.
Dick Bland has been renomina.
ted for Congress ia Missouri.
The spirit of Democratic victory
is abroad in Idaho.
Congress has adjourned at last.

Mrs. w. C. HOWE returned from
Salt Lake Tuesday, much improved
in health.
The annual forest fires are again
raging in Idaho and the smoke has
for several days almost hid the sun
from view.
G. w. Suddard, a prominent citi-
zen Of Chicago and personal friend
of A. B Clark of ours, arrived here
by yesterdays train.
Tom Hall returned here Thurs
day from a proiracted visit back In
old Missouri, and il still shaking
hands with his many. friends.
