Boise CRY, Sept. 29.-To-nights reve-
lations confirm the statement frequently
made in these dispatches that Idaho
Mormons will be permitted to vote IL the
republicans will be benefited thereby in
Wednesdays election. No longer can
there he any possible doubt that the COM
pact between the Mormon priests and re-
publican leaders has been sealed and the
entire polygamous vote will be given 20
help send republican senators to the sem
| ate.
After President WoodruH's manifesto
was issued a few days ago advising Nor
mons To abstain from polygamy, wise men
in this state said il had some ulterior mean
ing that coming at this time il was in
tended to have its effect upon Idaho's
election, and So il proves.
Tonight leading republic leans of the Du-
bois faction in this city are iubilant.
New has been received 10y them that il is
all fixed and the saints have received
their instructions from Salt Lake 10 sup
port Dubois and the republican party.
Before definite news of the COM
pact was received here, republicans
were insisting that the Mormons would
| tlDt Dt W Noits Il Uttl came lilt
news that Woodruff had issued an ad-
dress to his people advising them TO alb
stain from polygamy. Not many people
knew at first what such an address
meant. Now il is plain and the republic
cans are filled with gladness.
In accordance with the plan proposed
by the inscriptions republican bosses,
President Woodruff denounced polygamy
as unconstitutional in order that the
civil disabilities which surround his peo-
Pile in this state, as "A result of the test
oath, might he overcome and they he per-
mitted To vote under cover of the law.
by advice of United States Attorney
Wood, who has been engineering the
affair, Mormons may now say: ave are
now eligible 10 vote, as the head of our
church has denounced polygamy. We are
no longer members of the sect that prac-
tices polygamy.n That is the scheme now
planned To carry Idaho for the republic
cans. The leaders here do not deny il,
but say the Mormons, having ahjured POI
lygamy, may vote. Men who for - years
have bitterly denounced Mormonism, will
march 10 the ballot boxes on Wednesday
and side by side with their sanity breth-
rem cast their ballots to place Idaho
in line with Wyoming.
When questioned about the matter, ID.
p. Pride said that Senator Edmunds had
remarked in the senate that the Mormons
had their citizenship In their own hands
and when they chose TO abjurc polygamy
they would be citizens as much as any
one. He says that there is nothing to pre-
vent their voting.
Attorney Wood admitted that Wood

they will vote the republican ticket, aud
don't see any harm in il. IL is admitted
that the Mormons hold the balance Of
, power in Idaho, and IL they are 10 be per-
mtted 10 vote is hard 10 foresee the result
of the election.
: Mormons and money are the agencies
now depended on by the republican bosses
to pull them through. Ii is a combination
and state OF affairs OF which this fair new
state has little cause Ia be proud.
