the proprietor of this innone other than mr win M buno by ex president arthur recently appointed and at the present time gover nor of the territory of idaho yet such is the fact it will make all bood citizen cit izea especially Phil adels phiang hang their heads in sham when they reflect to what depth of infamy journalism and politics has brought our government that a man publishing a paper which is destroying society by the lowest and vilest of methods can yet be governor of a great territory why should honors be heaped upon such men as deserve great censure there are arc too many good true honest and brave men in this country to justify such an appointment as that of william M bunn governor of Ida hoby the president of the united states we hope the tima is at hand when william M bunn will be called upon to cease publishing such beastly matter as appears in his paper or resign his office it is a disgrace to our city that such a newspaper can be published in it and an insult to the citizens of idaho that the publisher of it is sent from philadelphia to govern them idaho undoubtedly has hundreds of her own citizens who are as well qualified for the office win M bunn fills as he is and who would under no circumstances father the vilo sheet he publishes we would like to know what president cleveland and the good citizens of idaho think about this matter philadelphia is cursed with some of publications of any citrin the country in fabb 0 y aa the sunday transcript item and taggarts Tag garts times would be allowed to appear anywhere else new york chicago st louis or though

the church as a cloak to hide their crimes and our temples of worship merely places where honor virtue and that which makes life worth living id exchanged for dollars and cents the stranger reader could not think otherwise A careful reading of several numbers of the vile sheet sunday transcript would warrant such a conclusion citizens of philadelphia how do you like the picture that the sunday transcript paints of you your homes mini stera and churches of bourso it is often aa false as the depraved minds of the beings who writes he filth eliat appear in the columns of that sheet and in many
