Democratic National Committee OH The
Idaho Deal.
pocatcllo, Idaho, Sept. 1.-This
Congressman Wilson left for
Denver and Senator Dubois and
party, including members Of the
state advisory board, and j. G. john
son of the national committee, de-
parted for Boise City, to confer with
the populist central committee.
Nothing, however. was accomplished
here, the democratic committee hav-
ing decided to see what action the
populists would take. At the meet
ing here it was the desire to unite
the silver forces, irrespective Of
party, but unless the populists would
consent to undo the work Of the
Boise convention the democrats were
powerless. 1t is the desire Of the
Dubois faction to have the regular
democratic populist nominees, ,Quarlcs
Of Lcmhi county for supreme justice
and Storer of Bingham county, for
treasurer, withdraw, and Edgar Will
son and Tim Rcgan from the ranks
Of the silver republicans placed in
their stead; but this will not be lis
tened to BY the other parties. II
the meeting at Boise is successful
another conference will be held here
in a few days, us the time is ripe for
action. Hon. J. G. Rich Of Bcal
Lake is here in the interests Of the
union Of all silver advocates.
