The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1898-10-01
NUTS TO CRACK.
Prom be Namra Leoaer.

When Democratic convention, So
called, deliberately kicks such men as
w. A. Coughanour, Swain Beatty, Sam
CLANCY, Chris Fahy, r. J Eaby, A. q.
Lillard, X. C. Joyner, and others of
their kind, out, 1t is time to call halt.
After the gang had issued the edict
that no Democrat need apply, and only
those who bolted the Democratic party
two years ago could have anomination,
they had the gall to have tellers APP
pointed and take ballot TO nominate
men who had been selected in dark
alley caucus.
Certain small bore politicians have
used every endeavor to dispose of the
Leader but 1t still remains, and will be
doing business long after such political
fakes are dead and forgotten. They
sought to quash it by refusing to pay
what was due it, but all men are not
iobbers. And further, we know of no
better time than the present to inform
the present Democracy of Canyon |
county that their credit at this office |
has been discontinued. Free notices,
free dodgers, hall rents, etc., for six
years, all discontinued.
Heavy Weight King wanted clerk,
or sheriff, or probate judge. or com
missioner again, or any old thing, bat
as he still owes the committee for
money advanced in the last campaign,
they thought he had better be left off.
He said he wanted nothing but with
his index finger pointing at himself,
he could name a man from Nampa
that could fill any chair the Democrats
could bring.
Callopy, the man of many states, who
gave his proxy to EstabrOok and went
in himself on Mr.. Blakesley's proxy
was jobbed to q finish. Wanted to 90
to the legislature, was made to believe
he was sure winner. But man who
sat near says he saw the ballots and
that even his own Nampa chums voted
for Bates. He has simply received his
first lesson from the gang he went
with, and will now resume his place at
the Short Line ticket window.
Emmett and Caldwell were entirely
too modest. Strong Democratic pre-
Cincts like those ought to have received
all the candidates, for their seventy-five
or so votes could elect the whole ticket
regardless of other localities. The
county central committee will fail to
do its duty if it does not withdraw the
outside candidates and give them to
these two precincts.
Democrats who stood by the party
last campaign will not break their
necks getting to the polls to support
those boilers who are now on the tick
ct, sailing under the name of Democ.
racy, and Populists who have left the
f.theroaders will keep knife |
up their sleeve till they have a good
opportunity to use it. There are sew :
eral things that will have TO be ex- I
planned away before that part of the :
Democratic ticket nominated at En-
NETT viii get the regular Democratic
vote. T
The silver Republicans were bitterly
to the kicking out of the Dem o
ocrattc party fully half of its represen. o
tatiVes, for they realized the ticket
needed all the strength possible to e
draw to it. The wanted the entire Il
Democratic party recognized, for un. IL
ess this was done they saw defeat for 81
he whole combination. But the old II
Democratic ship had been taken charge u
If by the one time deserters, who had 81
'nly one object in view, and that was o
Q run their slate through, even though P'
hey had no votes left. They are now pl
lshore in a political bog, trying to II
raw honest men and women to their u
upport by holding aloft the banner u
hat bears the inscription "treacherv." liz
With half the Democratic party and DC
laif the Populist party left for the St
resent without political home. we DC
'ohder what the machine going under Sc
he name of Democracy expects for its 10
arrest In Canyon county.
