him the privilege of defying and
insulting the board and saying he
would have the work done wherev-
err he chose, when as a matter of
fact all that certain members OF the
council asked was that the work be
executed where it could be done the
cheapest. They were anxious to
save expenses. 1t was immaterial
who did the work. They were sim
ply doing their duty. The city has
been plundered for several years,
and the head of the boodlers is A.
NJ. Sinnott.-Elmore Co. Rep.
Tote fair, Mr.. Syms. How could
Clerk Sinnoty insult" such body
of incompetent boodlers" as you
represent the present trustees to beY
Ifthey are one-half as low and lg-
norant as you depict them nobody
could insult them.
But here is the trouble in nut
shell-printing. The Republican
man wanted tin fact he seems to
want everything in sight and some
things that are not in sight. His
dear political and personal friend,
Geo. Mahoney, accidentally got the
job of trustee by appointment, and
so soon as he took his seat trouble
commenced. The clerk had control
of certain printing, and that privi-
lege mus be taken from him and
the work given to the Republican
under the pretense of economy.
Mahoney moved that the election
printing be contracted for. The
clerk objected, and later on was en-
tirely sustained by the attorney
general. But Notwithstanding the
clerk had not issued a call for bids,
Mr.. Syms had one on the table, in
which be agreed to print the ballots
for the coming city election for the
sum of $500. Mahoney moved
that the Republican bid be &C
cepted and the motion was lost.
At this meeting, Mr.. Syns. SO we
are told by three gentlemen who
were present, informed the board
that the BULLETIN office could not
print the ballots-which was very
unkind in him, considering that we
have done that kind of printing at
every election since Mountain Home
was incorporated, and for which the
village has never been charged over
the sum OF 5000.
Yet his man Mahoney, WORKING
SOLELY in INTEREST of TAXPAYERS,
moved to give the job to the Republi-
can for $500. But Messrs. Keefer
and Brady failed to see the saving
proposition of Mahoney and the mo-
ton did net prevail.
Should majority of the next
board of trustees be repu blican, Mr..
Syms can rest assured that he will
get all patronage from said board
for that is the way republicans do
erywhere-and the BULLETIN man
will not attempt to take plum
from his pie, and will certainly
never stoop to even get a smell OF
his pie-crust by downright mis-.
representation.
Tote fair, Mr.. Syms, and let
peace reign in Mountain Home.
Judge Sinnott has been resident
of Glenn's Ferry and Mountain
Home for the past IS years. HI
is a good citizen and has been tim'
and again honored with Office BY
the people Of this county. He is
radical friend of the working mar
and bitter foe to the imperialist'
of the republican party-hence
their hatred and abuse.
| When the Democratic board sue
ceeded Republican board, the,
found a debt of about $500 on thei
hands. By economy and fair deal
ing that debt has been wiped ou'
and, besides, expensive lamps have
been placed throughout the tow
and the streets have been placed i
good condition. No one but an in
tense radical republican and breed
er of turmoil will attempt to den
this fact.
The present and former board
may have at times erred, but the
! certainly deserve some credit il
. stead of vile abuse for the goo
5 they have done the town.
The business men and taxpayer
should take more interest in the &C
ministration of village affair
= They should give their services,
