| Since our last issue we have in
terviewed Judge Hall of Grange
4 vile, concerning a note sent to
him for collection against A. w,
darlington and in reply to the
/ question:
| What do you know Judge, about
this darlington note? He replied
/ know that sometime in the
year 1896 note was sent me for col
lection against Mr.. darlington for
the principal sum of$1193,25 fpre-
sented it and he would not pay it
nor any part of it, / presented it
several times thereafter ard he
would not pay it nor any part of it
and finally returned it to the
parties who sent it. I asked him to
pay part on it from time to time
and he said he would not do it, the
note was again returnedto me with
instructions to push the collection
if there was any thing in sight, |
did not push it for the reason that
| could not find any property he
had in sight except his salary which
could not attach. / called on him
at different times and asked him
what he could do about it and his
invaria BILE answer was, nothing.
now" / said to him at different
times "you are drawing a good sal
airy and I think that you ought to
apply part Of it on this claim
But he aeclined and refused to do
so, our last interview on the sub
ject was in July of this year orabout
that time. 1t was very unsatisfac-
tory. finally ] asked him to set a
time when he thought he could
make payment on it and his ans
wer was, II don't know and won't
make.any promises / then left him.
About the month of August of this
year party who said he was a
friend Of Talkihgtons came to my
Office and asked me how much that
note amounted to and I told him
that the principal and interest a.
mounted to $1,000 or 1400 or there
abouts, and he expressed surprise
at the large amount it was.
Fl he said darlington befriended
him once, and that he would like
to return the favor and that he
would give them $3.50 clear ofmy
fees for receipt in full against the |
debt, and that they had better take
that as Al. had nothing and they
could not collect a cent off of him. |
said parties enioined me to say moth
ing to AL, about the matter.
| told him | would write them |
and they could do as they liked
about it, wrote them fully giving
them all the particulars and they
Immediately replied and sent a re-
ceipt for $3.50 in full of,the debt as
compromised. This party said, when
you hear from them if the answer
is favorable drop me a line and I
will send you check for the a.
Later wrote him that they
had concluded to take $3.50. Inever
received any answer, but about ten
days after writing this party l was
called over to the bank, and Talk
Ington was there, and the bank paid
me the money and darlington took
the receipt. These are the facts first
and last as | remember them.
We have been accused of making
false statement in our last issue
concerning the foregoing note.
Now you haYe the facts in full
rom Judge Hall. darlington has
either never paid the debt or else
las been out on the eve of this cam
Daign buying up his paper for Is
,ents on the dollar. The note was
repeatedly presented for payment
ind darlington would not pay and
his salary could not be attached.

The editor Of this paper inter
viewed Judge Woodward as to the
truth of statement which appear
ed i'll our last issue, and to which
w. N. Scales took exceptions. The
interview is given below
What do you know about w. N.
Scales failing or refusing to raise a
point in case wherein he was de-
tending the county which point if
raised would have defeated the re-
covery Of a fee by Scales law part
ner? The Judge replied; / know
that in the cases wherein j. Il. ALI
SHE and F. e. Fogg sued the coun-
ty for legal service in the State wag-
OF road case that Scales appeared
for the county in the Ailshie case,
and / saw Scales and in a converse.
ton with him, suggested that he
raise the point that it was not a
legal charge against the county,
there being district attorney whose
business it was to attend such cases
and that neither the commissioners
nor the State wagon read commits
sion had any authority or power
to employ counsel and bind the
county. Mr.. Scales replied that he
would not raise the point because if
he did it would defeat Reid's fees in
the same kind of case. Hesuggested
that if they wanted that point.raised
they could get another attorney.
Who is the Reid you above refer
to? JAS. w. Reid who was then I
law nartnerof Scales.

This is not a campaign of politi-
cal policies or principles in Idaho
county, nor is it a fight Of republi-
cans or populists against democrats
but is simply a fight against ring
and boss rule in the administration
of the affairs Of che county. The
democratic party as party did not
place the ring ticket before the peo-
pie; the party had very little to do
with the making that ticket; it was
made by the Grangeyille and court
house ring long before the demo-
cratic convention, and it was dicta-
ed from first to last by the demo-
cratic boss. One man gets a couple
ofthe county pets into the back
room of his saloonin Grageville and
fixes up ticket and says: sThis
must be DONE" and it is done. Now
the question for the men and women
OF Idaho county is: will they en-
dorse any such work by electing
this ticket which lsitself demo
cratic, and again calls itself silver
republicans
