BOISE CITY, Sept. 12-This week
three important bodies hsve held their
meetings here. One was the State
Medical Society, that held profitable
session for several days. Many Of the
leading physicians Of the state were
present, and the pspers read displayed
. profound knowledge Of the subject
and the discussions were Of great pro-
fesslonal importance. and Interest
The wool growers also held their an
nual meeting commencing on the 10th.
It was well attended and the discussions
revealed the fact that the efforts of
Democracy to destroy this important
industry were well Understood and the
party was duly credited with their able
efforts In this direction. It IL safe to
shy that no wool grower win vote the
Democratic ticket this fall.
Next came the Grand Lodge Of Ma
sons, body that holds it, meetings in
this city. The reports showed that the
order IL in nourishing condition in
Idaho. Each Of these bodies were
sumptuously entertained by the ller-
chants Association of this city, At the
state resort, the Natatorium, and all
were well pleased by the many court
estes show them by our citizenx
The conviction Is rapidly fixing in
the minds Of the people of Idaho that
the friendship OF the Populist party is
only sham intended to catch the votes
Of the silver men In the silver states
There can be no question but that the
real sentiment Of the party is in favor
Of rag money, and that the silver issue
is only q side issue. II the position Of
the party as to the value OF rag money
Is true. the people have no need for
either silver or gold. The American
people believe ia paper money provided
it is issued with a coin basis back OF 1t i,
but they do not believe in an irredeem-
able paper currency. At the recent
Populist convention in Pueblo, Miss
Phoebe Cozzens said, speaking On the
subject Of finance:
Il have been at Greed and after look.
ing down the dark shafts of the mines,
Am more than ever in favor of the
issuance Of greenbacks by the govern
ment- Men should be released from
delving in the ground. This sentiment
was greeted with deafening applause.
For q great silver advocate this seemed
like strange doctrine. Besides, the sill
yer issue is not raised At all east of the
Rocky Mountains. There the doctrine
is rag money, pure and simple.
Now that Cleveland has his emissa.
ries ont to declaim against the growing
silver sentiment in the nation the posi-
ton Of democracy on this subject is
more odious, IL possible, than ever.
The venomons utterances of Villas and
Iloke Smith on the subject Of silver are
yet fresh in the minds Of the people of
the west. 1t shows to what desperate
straits the Cleveland administration
are put when those near the throne
must be sent out to turn the popular
tide which is all over the country in IA
vor Of the white metal. But then the
people have learned long ago to expect
very little from the Democratic admin
istration.
1t is SO thoroughly wrapped up in
solving the problem Of foreign indus
tries and foreign laborers that the de-
preston Of business in America, the
many thousands out of employment,
and the ruined industries lying in the
wake OF the Democratic Muloch, re-
ceive hardly the cold tribute Of a pass
ing glance.
News received at the Republican
headquarters in this city are Of the
most encouraging character as to the
success Of the entire Republican ticket
in this state. A special effort will be
made in some OF the counties to defeat
the legislative ticket. The Democrats
and Populists will combine in some
to accomplish this end, and
there is much need of Republican vigil
ance all along the line.
