SENATOR sHoUP SANG UINE.
He Believes Republican Success Is As
snred tn Idaho.

He BeIieces Republican Success Is As
sured Tn Idaho.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 11.-Sena
tor Shoup of Idaho was at Republican
headquarters Yesterday and talked very
encouragingly of the outlook in the West
especially in his own State. Senator Shoup
is a silver Republican, but believed in
fighting the question out in his own party.
He said he believed silver would be a
greater gamer through the Republican
party than through any other, and his
hope for an international financial confer
ence is not in vain. He is confident that
Idaho can be carried for Mckinley. and
could not understand how the silverites
had secured their information as to
the result of the recent contest
there, which indicated that silver
Democrats had swept the State. The
returns, he said, were not all in on Satur.
dav, and it is a little premature to forecast
what the result will be. The Senator re-
turns to Idaho this evening, and will enter
actively into the campaign, making as
good a fight as he knows how for the Re-
publican ticket.
Encouraging news from Missouri and
Kansas was received by the Republican
Congressional Committee yesterday. A
large number OF letters reached Washing
tor yesterday morning announcing that in
some parts of Missouri there was split in
the Populist ranks. and as result of this
condition Republicans have not been Sc
enthusiastic since early in the seventies. In
some parts of Kansas it is supposed that
the silver-question fever" is beginning to
wane. as the result of the reading of Re-
publican literature with which the State
has been flooded.
