Idaho Democrats Trying to Prevent His
Return to tho Senate.
Boise, Idaho, Aug. 11.-Tonight
there is weeping and wailing and
gnashing Of teeth in tile ranks Of the
silver republicans. 1t was caused by
the action Of the democratic conven-
tion, by vote Of los to 81, instruct
ing the conference committee on fu-
sion to deal exclusively with the pop
ulists. This shuts Dubois and his
following Of boiling republicans out.
The delegates who favored fusion
with the silver republicans presented
their claims under the glisc OF adyo-
cacy Of a plan for fusion with all sill
yer men, but those fayoring populist
fusion alone quickly penetrated the
veil and made a vigorous assault, in
sisting that the democratic confer
encc committee be instructed to
treat with populists alone. After a
heated debate they won the day,
much to the disgust Of the silver re-
publicans, whose leader is Dubois.
The populists have not yet appointed
a conference committee, and will not
until they are officially advised to-
morrow Of the action Of the demo-
Gratis. Pending fusion arrangements
there is little talk about cand dates.

PRAISE FOR HARTMAN.

The Minneapolis Penny Press pays
Il handsome. compliment to Congress-
man Hartman III recent issue. The
Penny Press is one paper in Mime
sofa which represents the people. 1t
may not be on rs solid a financial
foundation as other papers published
in st. Paul and Minneapolis whose
principal owners live in London, but
it is getting to the front rapidly and
will succeed. The paper has been Il
champion Of the northwest and is
justified in saying a good word for
Mr.. Hartman who represents not on
| ~ the interests Of Montana, but of
tile people. In part the Penny Press
says:
Among the foremost in that great
contest, second hardly to Senator
Teller himself, was the Montana con
gresham, Mr.. Hartman. None are
in better position than the editor OF
the Penny Press to know how yalua-
bic WAS Mr.. IIartman's service in
that contest, nor what strength he
gave to the efforts there put forth.
When the battle for a union Of forces
was transferred to Chicago Mr.. Hart
man wa: there. and none more untir-
ing nor more energetic than he. In
season and out, days Of anxious effort,
nights Of slccplcssncss, he was again
among the foremost. When victory
crowned the battle there, he Joined
in the second St. Louis gathering,
which was necessary to complete the
work OF union. Not one Of the noble
men who went through the June and
July contests for salvation Of the
country is entitled to more credit
than noble-hcartcd, patriotic, honest
and courageous Charles S. Hartman
Of Montana.
Mr.. Hartman has made d splendid
congressman. He has given Monta-
ma the high rank in the lower house
that has splendid colleague, Senator
Mantle, has in the senate X But
the silver republicans under Hart
mans leadership, having been so
prominent in bringing about union,
50 that the united parties Of the
state can be thrown TO the one can
didatc, Bryan, there should not for Il
moment DC any question about call
| ing Mr. Hartman to succeed himself,
and to bc made in fact the rcprcscn-
tativc Of no party, but OF all :bhc peg
| pie Of the state.
This the Penny Press sincerely
hopes to see accomplished, and it's
adyiccs arc that such will undoubtcd-
| ly be the result. Montana has a
number OF good men who would adorn
the house, and our contemporary,
the able editor OF the Butte Miner,
has been mentioned, but il is to be
hoped that Bro. Quinn will recognize
the situation and lie and all others
agree torcturn Mr.. Hartmann There
Will be plenty OF time in the near
hereafter after the adjustment of
these patriotic matters for other
men to be called to the front.

Told on Clark.

w. "A. Clark, the Montana multi
millionaire, has recently said to a
friend who visited him in New York,
where he has his office: "We silver
men do not expect to elect Bryan
this year, but we are to accomplish
all that we desire. We have driven
the democratic party and compelled
recognition Of our strength. We
have scared the republican party al
most out OF it's wits. We have done
enough to compel recognition by the
next congress and by the next ad-
ministration. We will secure legis.
laton favorable to silver and we
hope to secure it's remonetization
without a revolution. 1T we cannot
accomplish that result during that

views on silver and fusion between

says:
"Withont the support Of the popu.
lists the democratic party could not
win. Mr.. ScWall can we'll afford tt
step aside to effect Il union Of the tWt
great forces and insure the election
OF the peoples candidates. Such &C.

One Of the most hyi,ocritical
p|anEs in tue democratic platform is
that which prctcnds to dcprccatc the
admission of cheap foreign labor.
While the democracy brands such
labor as undesirable, it favors Il policy
By which foreign commodities pro-
duccd by that labor in it's native
country Shall be freely admitted to
the American market. American
labor suffers, lust us much from i'm
ports Of 'cl1caply produced foreign
commodities as from the importation
Of the foreign laborcrs who made the
goods. The product Of the individ-
ual is as harmful as the presence of
the individual himself. River Press,

AS the date for the democratic
Cascade county convention draws
nearer the anxiety on the part Of the
party leaders and office seekers in
crcascs regarding the position taken
by the anti-f'lsionsts Of the populist
party. Like all all-hoy- railroad the
democrats want the fat Offices and
arc willing to give the few >lnlmport-
ant ones to the populists. This dis
played generosity has led to a dis
ruptiOn in the ranks Of fusion and
although the convention is only three
days of no intelligent idea of what
the result will be has been formed.
10 slide into Office with the aid Of
the pops and then return the SUPPORT
with 'thanks" would be the contin-
uation Of Il policy long established by
the democrats and in unison with
democratic government all over the
country. The claimed strength Of
the pops demands at least an equal
show and if any big end is going
round, they ought to be a position to
demand it.---Lcadcr.

The action Of the national dcmoc-
racy in scizing upon the silver qucs-
tion as an issue upon which it hoped
to be elevated to power, was like a
drowning man clutchlng at g stray.
The democracy had to pick up
something new in order SO hold itself
together. 1t was damned by it's re-
cord, had been false to its promises,
and had disgraccd itself before the

necessary, and the adoption Of Il
monetary policy, the very opposite Of
that formerly held by the democracy
suggested itself as q plausible issue
with which to again deceive tic pco-
