Boise. Idaho, Aug. 20.-The demo-
Gratis and populists have agreed to
fuse and the boiling republicans are
left out in the cold. After three days,
days filled with anxiety and torture
and characterized by many features
unpleasant to the participants In the

great parties have agreed upon q basis
Of fusion, and all that now remains Is
for the democratic convention officially

nominations will be distributed as fol-

electors, supreme court justice. eov-

The fusion idea was fought bitterly

were given the hearty support Of Du-

SERIOUS ALARM FELT
The Situation in Idaho Creates Appri-
hensiOn at Headquarters
DUBOIS DESERVES MUCH
Chairman Jones VIII Attempt to
Arrange an Adjustment so as to
include silver Republicans In
the Contemplated Fusion,

Washington. Aug 20.-At both DEM
ocratic and populist headquarters Sc
rious alarm Is felt over the situation In
Idaho where the news dispatches indi-
cate that the democrats and populists
are trying to effect fusion which will
leave out the silver republicans. The
managers at both headquarters consid-
er that this attempted combination at
the expense OF the silver republicans
Is violation of the spirit Of the free
silver campaign. which seeks to COM
bine all the silver forces. and they fear
its effect on the silver republicans Of
other western states. They believe the
different forces should combine on
equitable and just terms and effect a
division such as was made In Minne-
sofa and Washington. Moreover they
consider that II would be especially un-
grateful In Idaho, because their re-
fusal to recognize the silver republi-
cans involves the defeat of Senator
Dubois. The latter is looked upon by
both the democratic and populist man
ayers as one OF the great central fg-
ures In the bolt Of free silver repubh-
cans from the republican party on the
issue. To his instrumentality also Is
most largely attributed the defeat of
the tariff bill In the senate except with
q free silver rider and to turn him
down" they believe would send a chill
through the leaders of the silver re-
publicans Of the West. For this rea-
son, II Is probable that both Chairman
Jones and Chairman Butler will make
every attempt to arrange some sort Of
adjustment In Idaho that will give due
recognition to the silver republicans.
Among the callers at democratic
headquarters to-day was Secretary
Hoke Smith, who had a long confer
enc with Chairman Faulkner and
Secretary Gardner. The democratic
committee have decided to circulate
among the farmers portions Of Bourke
Cockran's speech, especially the por-
tions in which he made reference to
professional farmers" The demo-
cratic committee will publish an ex-
tract from the message OF President
Grant. sent to congress Jan. Il. 1875,
announcing his approval of the act for
resumption of specie payments. The
object is to show that President Grant
did not know that silver had been de-
monetized by the act Of 1873. The ex-
tract Ii as follows: I'm fact to carry
out the first section of the act, another
mint becomes necessary and with the
present facilities for coinage 1t would
take period probably beyond that
fixed by law for final specie resump-
tion to coin the silver necessary to
transact the business of the country.
