the last Republican state convention were

the last Republican state convention were
a unit in this matter, and it is absurd to
suppose that they have changed. The dis
closure of the plot to defeat Mr.. Wiley,
the Republican candidate for lieutenant
governor, and elect S. F. Taylor, of Bing-
ham, thus preventing Colonel Shoup from
resigning, because it would leave the state
in the hands of the Democrats, had the
effect of causing the former to run ahead
of his ticket. If the plan marked out had
been pursued, it became well understood that
1T would have been placed to the charge of
Dubois and his friends. No one doubts
but that
GOVERNOR SHoUP WILL BE ELECTED
to the Senate 1t then remains to be
decided who shall be the second senator.
1t must be either William H. Clagett, of
Shoshone, W. J. Mcconnell, Of Latah, or
f. T. Dubois, of Bingham county. If the
latter, it would give south Idaho two
senators. The north is wonderfully rich
country, and has the most talented men.
They are very tenacious Of their rights, as
much so as the people of any particular
section Of the country, and will do their
best TO maintain them. If they are ac-
corded no rights the Republican party may
look elsewhere for majorities. They are
the same men who for more than twenty
y
has ruled over them with a rod of iron and
in consequence thereof called loudly upon
the general government to detach them
from Idaho and annex them to Washington
and came very near effecting their OBJ
iect. Nothing but the Intervention oil
the veto power exercised by eX-Presiden'
Cleveland prevented the contamination Of
their purpose. To suppose that these men
will tamely submit for the mere purpose Of
-HoNoRING SUCH A TRIeKsTER
as Fred T. Dubois is the widest folly. ST
far as the interests OF the Democratic
party are concerned, your CORES ponden1
would like to see the Republicans of the
next legislature take the bit in theil
mouths and elect both Shoup and, Dubois
It is an axiom of F'reddy's that the people
will forget and forgive everything in the
space of two years. He considers it al
proper that the legislature should disregard
anything and all things done in convention
where his own interests are to be pro
NOTED. He would doubtless think other
wise were his interests to be served By
| converse action.
There has never been an election where
the people have been worse deceived. De

since on any and all occasions; that tn
Democrats were favorable to full coinage
that the Republicans, by their action upol
the reciprocity bill, have placed it in tn
power of the President to admit lead an

that the senators elect will be able to TAX
