The correspondence given out today
shows that Chairman Butler, curing the
popullst state convention, was pleading
with the populist leaders TO recognize sill
Yer republicans and that all of his dis
patches were suppressed. Ia letter
to Mr.. Ruick, late chairman Of the pop
uhst state committee, dated September s.
1896, Chairman Butler referred TO Sena-
ter Dubois as follows:
OF course / do not understand the local
conditions in your state, except as it has
been given 10 me in three or four letters
within the last few weeks. But | dc
know the prominent, active and import
ant part played by Senator Dubois in the
senate last spring in preventing the pass
age OF the tariff bill unless a free coin
age bill could be passed a the same time
he was the active force in organizing
the revolt against the mandates OF the
republican senatorial caucus. The action
was bold and of the greatest Importance
Probably no one thing has done more
to force the financial question to the front
and 10 cause cleavage in the repuUiI-
can party on that issue
HIS was also the most active man III
organizing and planning the bolt from
the republican convention. In fact, ais
bold stand in these matters has so com
mended him to the peoples party and &c
silver men generally all over the cOun-
Try that / feel that / should say 10 you
That the general sentiment, as | get ii
from our peoples party in every state
IS that he and his friends ought to Toe
recognized by the peoples party in max
ing cooperative fight in your state
this year"
IN the same letter Chairman Butler re-
ferred TO the evil effect the exclusion OF
silver republicans in Idaho was having
o4 other states, as follows.
1t is no doubt true, as you say that
there is no danger of your combination
ticket being defeated in Idaho, whether
the silver republicans are recognized CT
not, yet must say to you frankly that
can not feel from the information that
we have, that 1t is right to ignore them
Besides, this action on your part Is hay
ing bad effect on other states where the
cooperation of silver republicans is ab-
soluteIy necessary to insure the success
of the ticket"
