Never Too Late to Atone.

A dispatch from Denver Oct. 9th
says: Tonight at Coliseum hall, l.
N. Stevens, who a few days ago re.
signed his position as chairman Of
the Republican city committee,
made speech to large audience,
He made public his reasons for de
sorting the Republican party and
proclaimed his allegiance to the
Populist party.
MIR. Stevens, at the opening oil
his speech, dealt with the silver
question. He said grave crisis
had been reached in the government
and it had to be met. He quoted
from the letter of Senators Teller
and Wolcott during the debate in
congress on repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman act. He
said that the Republican party and
the Democratic party were opposed
to free silver. Stevens insisted that
the sentiment Of both parties was
against restoration of silver with
out the consent of England.
He concluded II shall now and
hereafter cooperate with the politi-
cal party which makes silver the pre-
dominant national question what
ever party that may be-"

The Idaho State Tribune says
Senator Dubois certainly is not an
enthusiastic orator, in fact his ef-
forts are more like those of a 16
or 17-year-old school boy than a
United States senator, and the re-
publicans of Idaho were certainly
hard up for material when they Sc
lected him as one of the represen-
tatives Of the state in the upper
house Of congress.

populi1t SPEAKING.

A good audience vas called to.
gether at Metropolitan Hall, Tues
day evening, upon short notice, t.
hear Mr.. ]. G. Rogers of Cassia
county, Populist nominee for Dis
trict Attorney Of the Fourth Dis.
trict, who had come quietly into
town, unheralded by brass band OF
flaming advance posters. It is not
too much to say that those who were
fortunate enough to bear the gen
tleman's thoughtful, careful speak
ing carried away more clear, con-
sistent, convincing argument and
comment Upon political questions
of the day than is often heard in
the din and dust of political cam
paigns. Mr.. Rogers, with the earn
est simplicity Of facte, showed the
process by which tie Republican
party during its long lease Of power,
after it had done its work of saving
the Union, fell into the hands OF
selfish, corporate and privileged in
terests and sowed the seeds of our
present financial and industrial
peril, unrest and privation, which
has brought the country to the
verge of political revolution, and
the responsibility for which the
Republican party now vainly tries
to cover and disown by raising the
cry of ANARCHY" against the new
party Of the people which has risen
to call them down. We have not
space to speak in detail of the many
convincing points and facts brought
out by the speaker during the prog
ress of his connected and solid
argument, and can only say that
his luminous address was an oasis
in the desert of some pretentious
campaign speaking we have had
here of late, and that, judging both
by the ability and the earnestness
by the speaker, the voters
of the Fourth District will make no
mistake in choosing John c. Rogers
for the responsible position of Dis
trict Attorney, for which he is the
Peoples party nominee.
Mr.. Geo. J. Lewis, our townsman
and Populist nominee for the State
Senate, followed Mr.. Rogers with
! ringing little speech, in which he
handled most effectively and hap
ply the Republican speakers of the
previous evening, exposing some of
heir unguarded and one-sided
as to matters of fact in
both state and national republican
history. 1t twas neat piece of polit-
cal scalpel work, and the only regret
n the matter was that the gentle
nen under criticism could not have
'een present to enjoy it with those
gho heard it.
After brilliantly disposing of
hese gentlemen's errors and mis-
Mr.. Lewis took up
,ithout gloves the county fusion
SITS, and in a series of progressive
ategorical questions addressed to
hem, as to the reason or justifca-
on for their unnatural political
lliance, be brought out its abso-
lite qualification and negation of
II principles of political morality
so telling and convincing man
err that it made even the Populist
carer vince for his fellow-ci

peaker was interrupted by applause

The Republican Neetin9.

The opening gun Of the campaign
in Ketchum, fred BY Captain Gum,
was followed by the first repubii-
can scattering shots q Metropoli-
tan Hall last Monday night. SEN
ator Dubois failed TO appear, Is
announced. leaving his Ketchum
populist friends for light on the
current issues to the persuasive
powers of the republican nominee
for Congress, the Hon. Edgar Will
son Of Boise. Mr.. Wilson, who was
an untried aspirant hereabouts, had
his piece smoothly committed, and
at once impressed his hearers with
the falling off shown by the repub-
lican party in the state incurred in
exchanging Willis Sweet for their
present nominee. Is this one OF
the symptoms of deterioration in
character of the republican party,
notwithstanding its present too we'll
founded boastful confidence Of re-
turning to national power? Mr..
Wilson's speech was without inspi-
ration or consecutive argument, and
could not have changed vote.
The speech of the evening was
by our Wood River neighbor, Mr..
r. F. Butler of HALEY. He opened
with a directness and candor that
did credit to his courage if not to
his intelligence; and the enjoyment
with which many of his hearers
received his fighting thrusts at the
populists was certainly creditable
to the good humor of a Ketchum
populist audience.
It is disappointing, however,
when an audience thinks it has be-
fore it speaker of courage to find
that he, too, will not tell the whole
truth in his enumeration of his
party's history and virtues. Mr..
Buffers speech, as he proceeded
with his remarks, seemed no ex-
ception to the usual evasion that
is such juggling and loss to the
understanding of the rank and file
who patiently turn out every two
years, upon the invitation of the
political orators, to be instructed
and informed in the intricate and
difficult duties of citizenship. Few
unbiased or intelligent hearers in
The audience could have felt that
The gentleman threw a fair or q
clear light upon the situation, but
hat he, like too many partisan
speakers in every party, was charge
able with garbling and unfairness,
notwithstanding the commendable
Of his manner.
The speaking of the evening was
closed by Hon. l. W. Garrett, re-
publican nominee for Secretary of
State, for the past four years Altu.
as county's respected clerk and
ecorder, who, with a few digni6ed
emarks, assured his hearers that
lis canvas of part Of the state
lad convinced him that Idaho was
going to remain firmly in the re-
'ublican ranks" and mot going
# in corner to sulk with the
opulists."
