The object of the combination ticket,
as stated by Dubois, is to effect a union
of all the silver forces. Dubois claims
the silver Republican ticket will be
recognized by the Democratic and Pop
ulist national committees to the ex-
clusion of the Democratic fusion ticket
nominated last week.
THE PLATFORM.
The silver Republican platform says
in part:
For a period of more than twenty
years, the national Republican party
declared in favor of gold and silver as
the standard money of the United
States. For many years the free COIN
age of silver has been a cause sacred
to every true-hearted Republican in
Idaho. Every state and county plat
form of the Republican party has spo-
ken in favor of it; our party organs
have made it a test of political faith
and favor; our public speakers have
called upon the people to witness their
devotion to it, and every candidate for
office has been pledged to 1T. We have
learned no other language, and when
we are called upon to speak for the
the unaccustomed speech. We, there
fore, repudiate the action Of the ma
tional Republican convention in de-
claring in favor of the maintenance
of the existing gold standard until
changed by international agreement.
We believe TINS nation is fully compe-
tent to create and maintain financial
system of its own.
I'VE are Republicans as heretofore
in every essential particular, and in
our devotion to the principles of Re
publicanism as we understand them;
but we believe that the question Of
what shall constitute the peoples
money has become
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE
of the day, which the people themselves
demand shall be fought out before all
Others, and having at heart our coun-
trys welfare, we dare not and will
not consent that this great question
be relegated to the rear or subordinated
to any other principle which as Repub-
licans we ma hold dear.
Believing firmly that the prosperity
Of the nation depends upon the imme-
date restoration of silver to it's old
place as constitutional money, and de-
handing that the coinage Of silver
shall be free and unlimited at the minis
of the United States, we favor the
election Of William j. Bryan as presi-
dent of the United States, and that the
cause of silver shall not be endangered
by any division of the silver forces of
Idaho, we endorse w. w. Wood, w. F.
Smith and David L. Evans as presiden-
tial electors. We endorse the action of
Senator Fred T. Dubois as the leader
of the Idaho delegation in renouncing
the national Republican convention at
SIT. Louis, and commend to the people of
the state and nation that splendid dis
play of loyalty to principle and devo-
ton to his constituents.
I'VE favor the adoption of the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
of the state providing for the extern
sion of the right of suffrage to wo-
men,"
