O. H. Hutchins, who runs a mer-
camille house in this place and also
at Rocky Bar, has been prevailed
upon by numerous friends to stand
as a candidate for Sheriff on the
People Democratic ticket. and his
announcement appears to-day. Mr.
Hutchins has been a resident of
what is now Gilmore county since
1877, and is popular and success
full business man. He resided in
Atlanta during the flush times of
the early SOS, was deputy sheriff at
that place (then in Alturas county,
for four years and filled the office
with credit to himself and satifac-
ton the people. If Hutch" is nom
mated the Reps. and goldpugs will
have to put up mighty good timber
to defeat him.
Phil Regan is a manly Democrat
every inch Of him. Mr.. Steunen.
berg was his successful opponent
for the nomination for Governor,
but Phil instantly and heartily con-
graduated "Steuny," and offered
his brains as well as purse toward
the success of the ticket. Contrast
this manly action with the dis,
graceful howl on the streets of Boise
of man who was once held in high
esteem by Idaho Democrats, but
whose name now is "Dinnis."

EDITOR BULLETIN:-The commits

ceeded at last in securing J. D. Hell
frich and now have him in Mount
ain Home. That they will prose-
cute him vigorously no one doubts.
Let me place before them this com
parative question; In January of
this year j. d. Helfrich was checked
up short in his accounts upwards
of $4,000. He paid of this amount
out of his salary due him about
$1,000. His bondsmen paid the re.
mainder. j. d. Helfrich left the
State rather than face his errors.
The county commissioners have
spent upwards of another 81 900 in
trying to bring him back, and after
several attempts have succeeded.
In January, 1895, Sheriff James d.
Gray was checked out something
like $1,000 short. His bondsmen
paid it. No action of any kind was
taken toward prosecuting him. lie

parently no stigma or crime against
him. Will the commissioners please
state why they make this distinc-
ton, and why they never made
proper effort to apprehend defaulter

known at various times. | do not
allude to this with any desire or
wish to bring any trouble to those

would not have it otherwise, but
simply wish to ask why this persist
ent persecution of one and ignoring
the others? Why have they been
so anxious to bring one to justice and

Does it not look to the people to be
case of malicious persecution on
the part of the county commission.

The State Ticket.

Last week, at Boise, a glorious
event took place in the interest OF
free silver and honest government
for Idaho. The Populists and De-
mocrats of the State Joined hands
and put up an invineible ticket for
the support of the honest masses of
the Gem of the Mountains-and
they will. in November, spurn the
corruption sack of Hanna's repre-
sentatives and roll up 10000 ma
jority for the Bryan electors, Gum,
Steunenberg and the rest of the
ticket, which may be found at the
head of the first column on the sec
ond page of to-day's BULLETIN.
Of the electors we know person
ally but one of them-Dr. VIM. F.
Smith of this place-and if they are
all equally as sound free silver men,
as honest, sincere and capable for
this exalted position, then indeed
was the convention fortunate in its
choice for presidential electors.
Captain Jim Gum, although de-
feated for Congress two years ago,
will be fred so far ahead this fall
that his opponent will doubtless
exclaim: "where am | at?"
Hon. Frank Steunenberg of Cald-
well was the choice for Governor.
His name had been mentioned for
the position by only few friends
who knew there was good stuff in
the man. July 20 the BULLETIN
said: "Hon. Frank Steunenberg is
favorably mentioned for Governor.
This seems to be a good year for
young, vigorous, positive and capa-
BILE Democrats, and as Frank pos
sesses all these qualifications, let
him enter And he was entered
by that veteran Democrat, Doc Cal
loway, of Canyon. in speech that
created the widest enthusiasm, and
Steunenberg made the home stretch
far ahead of all competitors.
Mr.. Steunenberg was born in Ke-
okuk, Iowa, and is 35 years of age.
He is married and has two children.
He came to Idaho in 1887, and in
connection with his brother, A. K,
embarked in the newspaper bust
ness and is now editor of the Cald-
well Record.
Mr.. Steunenberg possesses an en-
viable reputation as a successful
business man and able and honest
public servant, and is sure to lead
his party to victory in November.
He has served as mayor Of his city,
was a member of Idaho's constitu-
tional convention and faithfully
represented his county in the legis-
lature.
Frank Steunenberg will make a
Governor whom the people will
never be ashamed of-as is their
condition to-day.
Let all friends of free silver and
reform now fall into line and earn
estly work until shutdown on the Sd
day Of September for the success of
the People Democratic ticket.
