The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-03-07

not stop to think that the pledge is,
"He that eating and drinketh uD-
worthily. drinketh.. = damnation to
himself, not discerning The body Of
the Lord. You no doubt remember
that Tuesday morning, October 30
following the Sunday In which you
broke bread with the elect OF God,
you stated publicallY that a United
States senator was a blaDkety, blank,
blank, blank, blank. The 6rst two
blanks represent the two most pro-
fame words In the English vocabu-
airy, the last blanks represent
Icing son OF a female dog. This
language on your part shows that you
are neither honorable, Christian
nor gentleman. Therefore Mr.
Abbott, have too much respect for
Mr.. Preston as an honorable, Chris
tian gentleman to link his name
with yours and try to drag him down
to your level. Again, Mr.. Abbott,
we will have to inform you that we
feel that we would be doing your
partner an unwarrented injustice In
holding him accountable for the silly
vaporings which appear In. your
paper.

During the campaign last fall, Mr..
Abbott you called US liar and ad-
vised the people to have nothing to
do with The Recorder because we
gave facts concerning the financial
condition Of the county. You again
try to mislead the people by making
the averment that we falsifed the
accounts in stating that the warrant
Indebtedness would be approximately
twenty-nine thousand dollars by Jan.
nary first, or at the January meeting
of the board. The records OF the
county show that January goth the
warrant Indebtedness was in actual
figures $29370. SO. 1t Is true there
was nearly money sufficient to wipe
out this Indebtedness, but we now
have depleted treasury, and at the
next meeting of the board they will
commence issuing deficiency war
rants, so that by January l, 1908 the
warrant Indebtedness Of the county

thousand dollars, at the present ia,
rate of SO. go or third more than II
was under u democratic administra
tion Now Mr.. Abbott IL you cam
tell the truth about this matter
please ignore the question and no.
farther try to mislead the people
The people last fall knew that 20,
were disappearing this question
and they have no more confidence II
you now than they had then.

Judging from the manner In whicl
former President Cleveland was re
ceived In Chicago on Washington
birthday 1t is evident that he still
retains his popularity In large de
gree. 1t will not come during hi
lifetime perhaps, but history vii
give Grover Cleveland his proper rec
ognition as president and a states
man. Personally the writer ha
never been an admirer of what Cleve
land has stood for in the way OF poll
tics. His environments and e1uca
tion have been along lines which hav
made 1t impossible for him to ur
! derstand the desires aud emotion
: Of the great mass OF the commo
: people, and In return he has not bee
understood or even given credit fc
7 what he really Is. In fifty yeal
! from now, when the history OF th
presidents of the United State
. from. the year 1850 up to 1900 Pres
: dent Cleveland will be placed In til
I sane class as Lincoln, Grant, Nc
) Kinley and Roosevelt, for all he yer
. materially differed from these me
. in temperament. No one can gain
say the fact that Cleveland was nc
president when he occupied tn
S presidents chair. During his al
D ministration he enforced the MonrC
r doctrine In .the letter and the spiri
. and England was told in plain Lar
Q guage to keep her hand of. III
: management of the Venzuelian affa
will not be forgotten by the histor
+. an of the future.
