THE IDAHO PLATFORMS
TWO REPUBLICAN WINGS HAVE
CAMPAIGN PLANS.
Would Like to Get BimetnII-
Ism Some Time.

Boise, Aug. 27.-The silver republican
platform says
The silver republicans Of Idaho solemn
ly renew their devotion TO the great prln-
cipIes of free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, protection and reciprocity
1t then recites that for many years
free coinage has been supported in ths
state. and the national platforms have
declared in favor of silver as standard
money, and continuing says:
We therefore repudiate the action OF
the late national republican convention
In declaring in favor of the maintenance
Of the existing gold standard until chang
ed by International agreement. We believe
that this nation is fully competent TO
create and maintain u financial system
OF its own. We have no faith in any such
agreement being obtained by us from the
great creditor nations of the world, and
we are now therefore in favor of the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver at the
ratio of 16 to by the United States alone,
without waiting the aid or consent of any
other nation on earth. To accomplsh
this great end, we deem it the duty OF
every citizen to lay aside the spirit OF
craftsmanship and vote without restraint
or regard to present party affiliations.
We are republicans. as heretofore, IN
every essential particular, and in our de-
votion to the principles Of republcanism,
as we understand them, but we believe
the question of what shall constitute the
peoples money has become the paramount
issue OF the day. which the people, them
selves demand shall be fought out before
all others, and having at heart our coun-
try's welfare, we dare not and Will not
consent that this great question be rele-
gated to the rear or subordlnated to any
principles which as republicans we may
hold dear.
SewaIl, and indorses Senator Dubois
as the leader of the Idaho delegation
In renouncing the national republican
convention at St. Louis, and commends
to the people Of the state and nation
that splendid display of loyalty TO
principle and devotion to his constitu-
ents. AS a federal senator, his record
is characterized by answering adher-
ence to the material interests of the
state, TO advance which he has ever
labored and fought. Gratitude. as well
as self-interest of the people of the
state, demand his continued senatorial
service, and we pledge ourselves to use
all honorable means to secure his re-
the next state Legislature.
Congressman Wilson is Endorsed. Adj
ditlon of the proposed amendment Civ
Ing the ballot to women is favored,
also that proposition to separate the
offices of county judge and school su-

HEPBURN REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
Idaho Mckinley Men VIII Work on
This Plan

Boise, Idaho, Aug 2S.-The Mckinley
republican platform says in part:
We heartily indorse the republican ma
tional platform adopted at st. Louis July
10, 1895, and the nominees OF that conven-
tion-Hon. William Mckinley for presi-
dent and Garrett A. Hobart for vice pres
ident Of the United States. We believe
the depressed condition of the industries
OF this state. agricultural, mining and i've
stock is mainly due to the repeal of the
Mckinley tariff law, and that the com
plete restoration of the former prosperous
times OF these industries in this state can
not be brought about without similar leg
islation. We therefore declare that we
are In favor of such legislation as Will
protect the American citizen in the pro-
duction of lead. lead ore. wool, sheep,
cattle, horses. hogs, hides, horticultural,
agricultural and all other products of our
state.
We indorse and adopt the declaration in
the republican national platform relating
to the financial policy of this government
and recognize that bimetallism which is
the ultimate object to be attained by all
intelligent advocates of the free coinage
OF silver, can only be brought about
through the policy of the republican
party.
1t declares in favor of maintaining
the supremacy of the laws ana in favor
of necessary irrigation legislation fa-
vors the election of United States sem
ators by direct vote OF the people, and
says further:
We favor the enforcement of the law
for the assessment OF all taxable prop
erty In the state for its actual cash value,
without discrimination. We favor the
amendments to the constitution of this
state proposed by the late republican
legislature, including equal suffrage for
men and women. and recommend their
adoption.
The following additional resolution
was adopted:
Resolved, That this convention appre-
ciates and indorses the faithful and la
borfous services of George L. Shoup In
the senate of the United States, In his
efforts to protect the interests of Idaho,
and in maintaining the integrity of the
republican party; we appreciate the fact
that he has been selected by the republic
can national committee as one of its adj
visory members, and we congratulate him
upon his selection as such member, and
pledge to him our hearty cooperation in
his loyal and unceasing efforts to advance
the cause Of republicansm in the state of
Idaho and throughout the nation.
