Boise, Idaho, Aug. Ex-senator Du.
bois has received dispatch from Sena-
tor Pettigrew, now in Chicago, advising
him of his appointment on the advisory
committee along with Teller and re-
questing his presence at Chicago head
quarters.
When asked of the probable effect of
the silver republican convention and
his own plans, he said:
"The great desire of all the silver
leaders of all parties was to combine the
silver forces in all states where 1t was
practicable. The reasons for this are
plain, simple and logical. The direct is
sue between the single gold standard
and the double standard of gold and sill
yer as primary money has been Joined,
and other issues for the time being are
held in allegiance, to be discussed and
settled after the great fight over the
monetary system is disposed Of In a
state like Idaho, for instance, where the
people are practically unit in favor of
free coinage of silver, and where they
demand that that shall be made
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE
In the campaign, it is absurd to have
three or four parties all contending for
this principle, fighting each other on
account Of local politics. We have In
Idaho some of the ablest and best
equipped orators in the country, who
can and will do valuable service for
the cause of silver In the cast, unless
they are forced 10 stay at home to

dates for Office. The silver republican
party in convention made fair and
high.minded combination of the silver
forces III the state. Their action, In my
judgment, was grand and patriotic, and
will put an end to local fights and dis.
sentions, and will be supported with
practical manimity by The people of the
state. Some members of the convcn-
ton conld not see their way clear to
support the movement, but believe,
Without a single exception, every
delegate accepted 1T, and every ono of
them went home satisfied that the best
and most advantageous thing for the
cause of free silver had been accom-.
plished

ties by Ala from Administration
Democrats.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. l.
The Green Mountain state declared for
Josiah Grout, republican, for Governor
to-day, and for the republic state
ticket entire by a majority that cqualed
the predictions of the most confident
republican managers. Returns from
the distant towns are, as usual, rather
slow In coming in, but the count In all
sections of the state shows substantial
republican gains, indicating that the
majority for the republican state ticket
will be about 10000. This is the larg-
est majority ever given for Governor
In this state, the nearest approach to 1t
being in 1888, when the majority was
276S3. The republican leaders tonight
claim the majority may reach $4,000
and even $1,000.
Henry H. Powers, the republican
Congressional candidate in the First
district, and William Grout, in the
Second, are both reelected by increased
majorities, and the state Senate and
House are In the control of the repubi
cans by practically the same majority as
two years ago.
The weather was cool and fair
throughout the state and brought out
hundreds of republican voters who
have not been to the polls In years.
Practically the full republican vote was
cast. On the other hand, the lack of
organization in the democratic ranks
was apparent.
Many democrats who do not indorse
the Chicago convention platform re-
manned away from the polls, while the
more dissatisfied ones voted for the re.
publican ticket. The populist and
prohibition vote was practically the
same as four years ago.
The ticket elected is as follows: Gov.
ernor, Josiah Grout; Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Nelson w Fisk; State Treasurer,
Henry F, Field; Secretary of State,
Chauncy w, Bronwell; State Auditor,
Franklin D. Hale; Congressman from
First district, Henry H. Powers Con
gresham from the Second district,
William w. Grout.
HEAVY VOTING.
AT Battleboro an extremely large
vote was poled, no election In years
having created so much interest. Ben
nington reported that not since the
sixties has there been such large vote
as to.day's, and reports from nearby
towns were that the vote was very
large. In Montpelier nearly the entire
vote was cast early in the day, though
check sheets show republicans were
voting faster thar the democrats. Both
parties made hard fight here, and re.
ports from all over the country show
heavy polling. St. Johnsbury
had 500 votes cast at noon, against
total of 764 in 1894, due partly to fine
but more directly to sharp
contest between the A. P. a. and |
citizens candidates for the Legislature
The total vote of Hartford was nearly
500 to day, against total of 40 four
years ago.
It was expected that many towns in
he state would to-day rhow vote
nearly double that of four years ago.
