Idaho Legislature % the United
States Senate, is nothing IL not pos
tive. !le talks from the shoulder
in regard 10 the statement that
members Of the Legislature were
hribed TO vote for him.
/ A. NJ. Mcdonald Of Idaho, in
telegram received by Mr.. Dubois,
asserted that he would swear that
King and Emery, two members Of
the Idaho Legislature, were offered
$500 in his presence to vote for Mr.
Glagett for senator
The whole thing" said Clagett,
i lis lie cut out Of whole cloth. |
saw the charge implied in the East
ern press a few days ago, but have
waited until some responsible per-
son would father it, 4 special from
i Washington to the Chicago News, Of
March II, shows that Mr.. Dubois
caused il 10 he put in circulation,
! | do not wonder that he went to
Cuba Immediately after doing SO.
I'm justice TO two honorable men,
will state that Martin King and
Geo. W. Emery were both members
from South Idaho counties. Both
made their canvass before the peo-
pie on the basis of the Republican
platform, pledging equal represent
ation in the Senate Of North and
South Idaho. Both strongly fav-
ored my election as the North Idaho
Senator from long before the lcgis-
lature met until was elected in
February last King favored Du-
bais as the Southern Senator, and
in December voted for me as the
North Idaho man against both
. Shoup and Mcconnell. Emery
] voted for Shoup rs the South Idaho
; Senator and voted for me as the
North Idaho man against both Nc
Conuell and Dubois. Both abso
I, luteiy refused to 90 into the com.
bination to elect Shoup, Mcconnell
|, and Dubois in December. Both op
g posed the entire scheme as n wantol
e and useless violation Of the platform
Of both parties. Both are men 0
the highest personal character.
!, Il happen to have a letter by m
written To me by Mr.. King on No
: vcmber 6, more than a month be
: fore the legislature met, in which h
] uses this language: Regarding tn
senatorial business, / am stancI
supporter Of the North Idaho plaul
in our platform | think it is ruin
!, Gus 10 the party's welfare to max
2 pledges and not live up TO them
With best wishes for you
, success this winter, | remain etc
: Mr.. Emory, in December, refused t,
meet in conference with Goyerno
. shonp's friends after he found tina
/. Shonp and Dubois had combined /,
violate the party platform. Thu
votes Of both, rs herein stated, ar
I shown BY the journal entries Of tn
] proceedings in tire joint assembly.
mcdonald, wh3n he sent his tel
I egram, evidently did not know any
: thing about the relation Of these twl
a gentlemen t. the senatorial question
r or he would have solicited some ON
r else ~ the victim of his pen.
| The fact is continued Mr.
I Clasett, that | think all Of thi
kind Of wafftre is uaseemly, unjust
. and eowardiy. II Mr.. Dubois want
! to inquire into all the circumstance
, OF my election, | shall he glad L
= have him do 50 II will then be in
/. teresting IL inquire in the circnm
!, stanees Of his own. Let him max
; his charges in responsible way t
, the Senate, if he has any TO make
instead of putting in circulation
i these canards of one kind or an
) other. The whole question shout,
! be left 10 tile members OF the L. :
: Senate. TO which the contest ha
/. been referred, aud not made bon
Of contention among Republicans il
Idaho or elsewhere. | am not be-
! ging for seat in the Senate.
Mr. Dubois is entitled 10 it, | do no
want it any more than want hi
! paeketbook, Of anything else tina
. is his.
I'll he will persist in this kind Q
9 parthian warfare, however, | vii
9 see to il that il sha.l not be permit
I ted 10 cover mp his treachery TO III
{ Republican party and platform. |
! il in part this kind IF warfare whicI
! has determined the Idaho Repuh
lieans to put M ead to all sue
:. methods at home.
THE question, among other.
n which Mr.. Dubois will in the end i
/. called upon to answer at the bar {
5 the Senate is this: II a eandidat
j. for Office shall willfully and pul
i posely violate and sci aside ever
