ing had proceeded but a few days af- I
ter the 10th when 10 of the Republicans |
agreed to go into caucus They nonain- |
ated Sweet, and adopted a resolution |
to the effect that they should vote for
Sweet until a majority of the same IS |
members should decide otherwise. |
From the very hour Of that caucus,
certain members have been endeaVor-
ing to find some means of escape from
their obligation. A week ago last Sum
day. six Mormon members held a eau
Gus and decided to take decisive &C
ton They saw Sweets election was
impossible. and they appointed a COM
mittee to inform Sweet they could no
longer support him. Sweet eyaded the
committee. and when he was finally
cornered informed them the Populists
would go to him in a few days. This
promise was reiterated from time to
tipae, and this alone sufficed to hold
the 19 together. The first of last week,
the l9 held a caucus. and it was agreed
that on the following Saturday the
caucus should be dissolved without
further notice When Saturday arrived,
the Populist promises were renewed,
and it was agreed the 10 should stand
pat until o'clock the following Mon
day evening. In the nnean-,nae the most
desperate assault was made on the
Populist lines. kilograms were pro
duced from PETER. asking the Popu-
lists to support Sweet. and five Popu-
lists, headed by Mccarthy. chairman
of their caucus. agreed to do so. Clag-
EFT appeared before the caucus and de-
hounced the action Of the five. saying
PETERS telegram had been 1nstigated
by Dubois, and that were the Populists
to go to Sweet, they would be placed
in the position of being dictated to by
Dubois This had the desired effect.
and the Populists agreed to stand pat,
although the five refused to vote for
Clagett any longer.
The Vote For Crook.
AS a result the remaining Po2ulists
yielded the point and agreed to vote
for A. ]. Crook until the end of the
session
When Monday moons ballot was
| taken the Sweet men attempted 10 So
cure a recess unit! 8 O'Clock. in the
hope Of securing sufficient Fopulists to
elect their man before the hour of 6
arrived They were voted down and
! at 6 O'clock the IS caucus was dis
solved The following day the 10 voted
solidly for Sweet, however, giving him
complimentary vote without the re-
striction of caucus rule. The next day
there was detection of one man in
the Sweet lines, Meyer, Of Boise
county, and yesterday six MormonS
went over, electins shoup.
Sweet and shoup men met today and
exchanged cordial greetings. There is
apparently no in-feelng between the
two men and each says he holds the
other in the highest esteem. The de-
tailed vote was as follows:
