The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-11-06
To The silver Voters :

The election contest has clos
ed and today the people will de-
cided who will be our next Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the
United States, and today every
friend of silver in Custer county
should be at the polls and cast
their votes for the National,
State and County Democratic
tickets.
This is a fight of the people
against the allied syndicates.
The hope of the people, the
security of our free institutions
are at stake.
The fusion forces rely upon
every lover of free institutions
to put forth an effort that our
principles may prevail, and that
men may be elected who will see
that they are enacted into laws,
and who will enforce those laws
when in Office.
Papers have been bought by
Republican gold furnished by
Mark Hanna, and editors have
sold their pens and opinions with
the same reckless disregard of
their moral responsibility as did
the free lances of medieval times
sell their swords and daggers to
be used in anyone's quarrel, who
could bribe them with gold re-
gardless of all questions of right
and wrong involved.
In Idaho the Democrats have
placed the names Of three Popu-
lists on their ticket; they recog-
nized the Silver Republican and
the Democratic ticket from top
to bottom is entitled to the sup
port of every opponent of Re-
publican policies.
i Every Democrat and fusionist
should feel that this is his fight.
We have no trusts and syndi-
Gates behind US to furnish cam
paign funds in return for which
they are to receive the special
privilege of fleeing the Ameri-
can people.
Therefore, we appeal to every
reform voter in the state to take
a personal interest in the fight
which means so much for the
welfare of the masses. Each
Democrat and fusionist is re-
sponsible for his influence, and
he is under a moral responsibility
to exert it for the success of his
party, which means the welfare
of his country.
We appeal to every silver vot'
er to see that every fusion voter
is brought to the polls.
We ask that the Legislative
ticket receive the earnest sup
port of all reform voters. The
next legislature will elect {
United States Senator. If you
want Fred. t. Dubois, that true
and great silver champion, fol
: u. S. Senator, you must vote fol
Ravenel Macbeth and Henry F
Powell, on the Democratic ticket
That Bryan may be supported
we must send to the United Sen
ate some one in the place of Geo
IL. Shoup. 1t will be either Du
bois or Shoup. So we urge tina
a fusion Legislature be chosen
/. and remind all our friends tha
in voting for candidates for tn
Legislature you should not max
r it question of men, but of tn
Y principles they represent besid
t which the personalities of mel
It pale into insignificence.
S Be on your guard agains
!. trades.
o The Republicans rely on tn
}, Trusts for their inspiration. w
!, turn to the free people and in
i woke their support. We do S
confidently because we deserv
their support. and expect a tri
|: umphant vindication at the polls
}. In conclusion, voters of Gus
IL ter county, it is for your ow
welfare to vote the Democrat
l. ticket, that silver may be restoi
{, ed, and the now idle mines an
mills started again.

A newspaper should give can
didates the same support it re
ceives from them. A man who
does not contribute a cent to
wards the support of paper til
he is a candidate for Office
should not expect the editor tc

in booming him for Office. Yet
editors are often chumps enough
to do it.-Boise Statesman.

The second legal execution in
the history of the parish occurred
yesterday at noon when Rubin
CateIy and Hipolite Brown were
hanged for the murder of Mr.. NJ.
Il. SOrrell.
As was the case when the negrOe
Patterson was hanged there was
an enormous gathering of all
classes about the scene, but it was
such crowd as would gather for
a parade or circus, many Of them
brought together by a desire to
see an execution.
Two of the negroes were hanged,
the remaining two, Charles Brown
and John Green, having beer re-
spited for a further investigation
of their case. Opinions as to the
wisdom of this respite differ. Many
persons believe them to be guilty.
while others think them not
guilty.
The execution Of yesterday
proves that, even in the most ter
rible crimes, Iberia can and will
let the law guide them. w.

Prof. Layton the Man.

The death of Mrs. Alice Strange
DAVIS which occurred so suddenly
leaves vacant the first position musi'
cal director of the colored schools, and
the friends of Prof. john T. Layton are
urging his appointment as her sue
cessOr. Prof. Layton has been con-

for many years and has rendered ef.
ficient services. In addition to his
duties as teacher of music, he has
made special studies Of the different
branches of the work and carries a
number OF first class certificates from
the musical schools OF the East. He is
popular among all classes and seems to
be the unanimous choice Of the patrons
of the schools The School Commits
sioners could make no better selection
and will MAKE no mistake IN appoint
