was the former superintendent of

owner in the Ternan Hill diggings,
and a practical mining man. A

his dead child, and was returning
to the prairie when the fatality
happened. He was on horseback

conveyed to Florence for inter

We think there should be no neces

selecting honest and competent
men to keep the county affairs
straight, even at the risk of break
ing down some partisan lines or
political associations."
The above clipping is from the
Florence Miner of Nov. <i, 18U7,
and we republish it as a just und
(leset \ > (I ti ibute to our couuty of
ficials. And in this connection we
deem it proper to refer to the re
port ol the grand jury at the last
term of the District Court in re
gard to our efficient clerk and au
ditor, A. \V. Talkington. In re
ferring to him the report reads as
follows:
We visited the auditor's office
and lieg leave to report that we
found everything in excellent con
dition as far as we were able to
ascertain. We further report that
our county auditor. Mr. Talking
ton, is the only auditor in the
state, so far as we have lieen able
to ascertain, who has ever yet re
imbursed the public treasury for
moneys received under a misappre
hension and a mistake in the con
struction of section 1679 of the re
vised statutes of Idaho. For this,
and many other commendable acts
on the part of our auditor we, the
grand jury, unite iu extending to
him the thanks of the people of
Idaho county."

This is high praise coming from
a body of men choseu from the
whole county, of different political
views, and having such high func
tions and being of such dignity as
a grand jury. From the very na
ture of its source wo are precluded
from attributing this utterance to
any other motive than a sponta
neous expression of confidence and
appreciation of the efficiency and
merit of a worthy officer. An ex
amination of Mr. Talkiugtou's of
fice will fully vindicate this ver
dict of the grand jury, as it speaks
for itself and demonstrates the fact
that we have one of Lite most ca
pable and conscientious clerks in
the state. The office of the clerk
and auditor has never before been
in as high a state of excellence as
now, and the office itself is the
evidence of the truth of this as
sertion.
The Free Press believes in giv
ing every man his due and lias no
sympathy in the effort now and for
a long .time past strenuously put
forth to blacken the good name of
past and present couuty officials to
satisfy petty jealousies and po
litical aspirations. The expert
and the grand jury believe our
couuty officials are honest. Now
let those who cry "Fraud and Cor
ruption" generally, without saying
who is guiltv, or of what they are
guilty, make specific charges, nam
ing the offenders and the offense,
and thus give the accused the
privilege of meeting the accusera.
Now, gentlemen, come into the
open and make distinct and speci
fic charges, or hold your peace.
The truth is a defense to a libel
suit—and surely they do not fear
the truth 1
