or the same committee, came out and
tried his hand. He met with but little
better success. He had, however, much
backbone, and he read the Democratic
party of this state lesson they will
rot soon forget. He demanded a
proper recognition Of the silver Repub-
Hcans by both parties and failing to
obtain this, he proceeded at once by
authority of the national committee
and with the full consent of Senator
Jones to absolve every Democrat from
the Popo-Demo alliance This has had
a wonderful effect. The silver Repub-
Hcans, led by Senator Dubois and Con-
gresham Edgar Wilson, have placed
full ticket in the field, indorsing the
nomination of all the Democrats named
by the two previous conventions, but
pulling down the Populists and sub
stituting silver Republicans This
same ticket has been indorsed by the
silver Democrats, a faction which COM
prises fully three-fourths' of the party
of the state. The silver Republicans
claim four-fifths of the strength Of the
Republican party Of the state and these
allied forces will carry Idaho and re-
turn Dubois to the senate The next
legislature will not contain single
Mckinley Republican and there will be
not to exceed twelve straight Popu-
lists. The main portion of the body
will be. made up of silver Republicans
and Democrats, all of whom
WILL SUPPORT DUBOIS,
rendering his support to the senate d
certainty. Senators Frank J. Cannon.
Of Utah, and Lee Mantle, of Montana,
wired today that they would stump
Idaho in the interest of Dubois Nor
eton Frewen, the celebrated English BIZ
metallist, has also sent word from Chi
cago that he will be here. The pecu-
liarly aggravating condition of our
state politics will prevent any Of our
own leading orators from, visiting the
East in behalf of silver as had been
contemplated. They are forced to stay
at home, although Gov. William J.
Mcconnell, who has no political fences
to guard this year. is now campaign
ing in Oregon in the interests of Nc
Kinley.
The race for congress in this state is
a highly interesting one. Hon. w. E.
Borah is the candidate of the silver
Republicans and Democrats. He is one
of the most brilliant orators in Idaho,
and is making a vigorous campaign.
The ticket he runs on acknowledges
Mr.. Bryan as it's leader, and is the only
ticket officially recognized by the ma
tional Democratic committee. Mr.. Bo-
rah is son-in-law of Gov. Mcconnell,
and. although strong Republican,
heretofore, is out for Bryan and free
the only issue mentioned in this state.
Opposed to him are Capt. James
Gum, editor of the Boise Sentinel,
Populist, the nominee of the so-called
Peoples-Democratic party, and John L.
Morrison, of the Mckinley Republicans
The fight is squarely between Borah
and Gum. Capt. Gum has twice be-
fore been the nominee of his party for
congress- and has twice suffered de-
feat; once at the hands Of Hon. Willis
Sweet and two years ago by the pres
ent congressman, Edgar Wilson. APP
parently he is not to be discouraged
From present indications Mr.. Borah will
carry the state by a majority of from
5000 to 5000, and this may be largely
increased if the disaffection from the
Democratic ranks continues.
Frank Steunenberg, editor Of the
Caldwell Record, and a former resident
of Knoxville, To-, is the nominee Of all
parties except the Mckinley Repub-
licans, for governor, and his election is
assured His opponent Is Col. d. Fl.
Bud1ong, formerly collector Of internal
ouri He is the candidate Of the gold
bug element, and will receive merely
the vote of his party
Congressman Edgar Wilson is now
running on the silver Republican tick
ct for judge of the supreme court,
and will be elected with the rest Of
that ticket AS stated before, the leg
islature will be strongly for Dubois,
and he will succeed himself next
March.
