The Gang Love The Bulletin.
The Bulletin, tie democratic charity institution,
says the result Of the fusion effected last saturday
wiz be in evidence later on Wen If 1t isn't another
collection for the benefit OF that institution will have
TO be Ia evidence In its stcad.-Republican.
The Corker goldbug organ and
nickel-in-the-slot, thimble-rig ma
chine can not forget the unsolicited |
donation made to the BULLETIN two
years ago by the joint convention of
Democrats and Populists in this
place. We then felt proud of such
an endorsement by those represent
alive men-we still feel proud of it.
But there is one thing that has
transpired in connection with the
disgraceful life Of the Republican
which all honest men and women
will denounce-and that is the
treatment received by CT Rohrer,
a silver democrat Of this place, at
the hands Of the delectable Repub-
lican goldbug gang of Mountain
Home. Nearly four years ago this
great and good gang Of leading
citizens"-that's what they I'M
blushingly call themselves-bor-
rowed $500 from G. 7. Rohrer
(money he had just received from
sale Of his ranch), giving him the
Republican plant for security. OF
course the security was not what
an ordinary financier would have
accepted, but their love for the poor
laborer, soft-soap Aattery and con
fidence talk fetched Rohrer and
they got his money. Time rolled
on and the gang issued their sheet
regularly but under many difficult
ties. The payment became due,
but Mr.. Rohrer could not get the
interest due, much less the princi
pal. He tells us that at times dur
ing these long years of suspense his
numerous little children would have
suffered for the common necessa-
ries Of life had it not been for the
favors of Democratic friends, and
that when he would approach the
, boss Of the gang for interest money
he received sarcastic, slimey smile:
instead of his just dues. Finally
Hon. Frank Wyman, Mr.. Rohrer't
attorney, commenced suit. The
boss Of the gang then realized tha'
something must be done, and done
! soon. He sent Simpson, his rene
gade fgurehead, to Caldwell to in
terview Mr.. Morrison, chairman o
the Hanna State Central Committee
: and it is supposed that he worked
Morrison to the tune of several 20's
At any rate u few DAYS later one o

to Rohrer house with instruction,
