SPLENDID SAcAcITY.

The Statesman's attacks on Sen.
ator Hepburn, Congressman French
the Republican organization and
the Mormon people are based on an
alleged broken promise. 1t is
claimed by the sheet that Senator
Hepburn promised Mr.. Cobb that
Mr.. Cunningham would not be
disturbed in the Office of Assaver.
and that afterwards the Senator re-
commended Mr.. Woolley for the
place. Whether such a promise
was ever made nobody except Mr..
Cobb and Senator Hepburn knows,
and to people in general it makes
very little difference. Senator Hey-
burn may have promised to do all
he consistently could in behalf of
Mr.. Cunningham, and, if he made
that promise, he probably kept it.
1t he promised, he no doubt stood
by Mr.. Cunningham until he found
that he was practically alone in that
position. National Committeeman
Standrod, State Chairman Goodine,
practically the entire State COM
mittee and Congressman French
were united in demanding a charge
in the Assay Office. Under such a
condition, it became Senator Hev-
burns duty to yield his personal
preference, and acquiesce in what
was unquestionably his party's sem
timent. He would have been de-
serving of censure had he hestitat-
ed to do SO, and merited condem-
nation had he refused. But the
Statesman makes Senator Heyburn's
promise a pretext for attacking the
Republican State Organization, the
National Committman, and the
Congressman. none of whom ever
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1904-03-26

promised Mr.. Cobb anything,
which makes it clear that the States
man was hunting some kind of an
excuse for attacking the Republic
can party. It has attempted to
cover up its real purpose by sup
porting the State administration,
well knowing that if it could create
a rumpus of consequence within
the party, the State administration
would be buried in the general
ruin. 1t has thus been able to at
once crafty its vindictiveness, dam
age the Republican party and hold
the State patronage, which is
splendid tribute to its sagacity
however it may reflect on its in
tegrity.

ATERRTRLE INDICTMENT.

A North Idaho Republican pa
per publishes the following story
From time to time evidence &C,
cumulates that the Republican state
committee knew what it was doing
when it did not endorse the present
state administration. An interest
ing chapter of this nature was ad
ded in Moscow during the past
week, when an appointee of the
administration made the brazen
proposition to prominent Republi-
can that the State would refrain
from taking the lands of the settlers
to which the State assumed to have
prior right, provided these set
tiers would get in and support the
administration in its efforts to be
reelected. The aforementioned
Republican to whom this proposition
was made says that it came fiat
footed, with no possible chance as
to q misunderstanding as to its
meaning, and with the proviso ad-
ded that in case the settlers did not
accept the proposition the State
would take their lands and compel
them to contest"
Now, that looks plausible, doesn't
it, Isn't that a reasonable PROPOSE
ton? And to think that Republi-
can paper would put it out serious
ly, and try to get indignant over it.
Well, well, if the opposition to the
present State Administration can't
fabricate any better material than
that their case is very hopeless, in
deed.
We suspect that about the trut b
OF the matter is that a lot of land
grabbing spectators are about to
come to grief and they are trying
to shoe the State officers off by
manufacturing and circulating this
silly story. 1t is a terrible indict-
ment, not of the State administra.
ton but of its enemies.

Magistrate, had issued a call for a

municipal ticket, and all that day
there were goings to and fro and

the streets of the fated city. It was
IN the evening of that day and the
Shades of night were drawn. Six
ladies were fastening thitherward.
