The Ticket Named at Boise
Yesterdny-Address to the Voters
of Idaho.
Special to The Herald.l

Gays ago ny UuS SILVER hepuDllcdnS. All
( Democrats. including Stounenberg for
! governor, who is also the nominee tf
the De1nocratic-P opulists for that place
were left ON the ticket, with the ex-
ception of J. A. Lippincott for Heuten-
anr-governor, who had resigned. The
/ following nominations were made to
( fill vacancies:
Secretary of State-Charles E. Du-
rams, Democrat.
Lieutenant-G overnor-E. B. True,
Democrat.
An address was issued, charging the
Populists with being responsible, owing
to the refusal to take in Dubois, for the
changed condition of affairs. 1t is now
likely the Populists will name a COM
plete new state ticket and Bryan and
Watson electors. This may result in
the Mckinley electors winning in this
state. Leading Democrats say, how
| ever, that the Popul:sts will not put
UP 6, new ticket, as the Democrats have
assured them the Democrats did not in
tend to support Dubois as instructed
but would give their hearty support
to the Populist's caucus nominee for
United States senator.
THE SILVER REPUBLICAN AD-
DRESS
says in part:
To the voters of Idaho:
THAT the position of the silver Re-
publicans of Idaho may be understood,
we give to the public our reasons for
converting our state convention and
Withdrawing from our ticket the Popu-
list representatives who were placed
thereon by the action of our convention
held August 20.
eve have been compelled to take this
action, because of the attitude of the
Peoples party committee of the state.
Moved by an honest desire to CONSOLE
date the silver forces of Idaho in sup
port of the principle which binds us
together as a party, we proposed to
their representatives in their official
capacity as the executive committee
of the Peoples party that they give
recognition TO Democrats, Populists and
silver Republicans alike upon a COM
mon ticket to be submitted to the vot-
ers of the state for their suffrages.
This proposition was knade at the
suggestion and earnest solicitation of
the Peoples party national commit
tee and the Democratic national COM
mfttee, who urged their respective
state committees to- take this action,
because of the evil effects the refusal
to recognize the silver Republicans of
Idaho was having upon the voters in
other states, thereby prejudicing the in
terests of William j. Bryan in his cam
didacy for the presidency.
'Ihe national committee for the Peo-
pies party, by letters and kilograms,
urged this action upon the leading
Populists of the state. Letters were
addressed to them, both personally and
in their official capacity, as members
of the Populist organization of the
state, urging them for the good Of the
cause to give immediate recognition to
the silver Republicans of the state.
These letters were absolutely suppress
ed and their contents withheld from
the masses of the party of the state,
who were fully entitled to be taken into
the confidence OF their leaders. and at
the same time fully informed as to
the wishes of their national party.
ITO the appeal of their national COM
mittee the Populist committee of the |
state turned a deaf ear. The possibility |
that their action might result in in
jury to Mr.. Bryan and the cause of free
silver failed to move them.
In strong contrast to this action was
the action of the Democratic state COM
mittee The latter committee, by voice
and resolution, urged upon the Popu-
list convention the necessity of comply
ing with the national committee in or
der to avoid complications in other
states. The executive committee of the
Silver Republican party, moved by
patriotic desire to subordinate every
hing to the success of Mr.. Bryan and
he cause which he represents, offered
% surrender all claims to recognition

Without dictation or interference. This
he Populist committee also refused
nd in return demanded that the Dem
cratic party carry out its agreement
o deliver to the Populists of the state

lembers who might be elected to the
legislature, to the end that a PoDulist

enate in the place of the national |

OILS.
