persistedlin voting on his own right to
SIT as member of the committee, a
thing unheard of in parliamentary law.
The member putting the motion re-
fused to count Mr.. Workman's vote,
and ne was therefore declared not enti-
tied to act as a member of the com
mittee.
Other motions were then made by
various members of the committee per

committee had convened, all of which
the chairman arbitrarily and without
cause, refused to entertain. 1t there.

mlttee that it was the intention of the
presiding officers to ABSOLUTELY prevent
further transactions of business, mo-

Your committee immediately then
proceeded 20 reorganization by the an
pointment of chairman and secretary
which latter Office had also been arbi-
trarilY filed by the outgoing chairman
After completing the organization, it
appearing that majority of the COM
mittee was present in person or by
proxy, they proceeded to the filling Of
vacancies where they had occurred
through death, resignation, removal
from the state or apostacy from the Re-
publican party, the latter cause being
most prolific in occasioning vacancies
AS will appear by the official proceed
ings OF the committee meeting, vacan-
cies were filled in 10 counties, and those
named as committeeman therein will
be duly notified.
1t is proper and important to inform
you at this time thatthe reorganization
of the state committee will in no wise
interfere with the regular affairs of the
party. According to call heretofore
published by the former chairman by
and under the authority of your COM
mittee, the state convention will be
held in Boise City on Aug. 26, 1892, to
which your delegates should be duly
accredited.
We, your committee, are particularly
pleased that we are now enabled to re-
port to the loyal Republicans of Idaho
a complete state organization in SYM
pathy with their wishes and aspiTa-
tions, deVoting to the interests of the
Republican party and ardent support
ers of the great and living principles it
represents. We are, moreover, grateful
that we may convey to them tidings
of the fact that there will be complete
Republican tickets in the field. No
Republican, DESTROYS of voting his prin-
ciples and preferences, shall be disfran-
chised; no Republican shall be obliged
to vote mongrel ticket or vote not at
all. The clouds of doubt and uncer-
tainty are swept away.
Having thus performed labor which
we conscientiously believe to be our
duty and your wish, we now earnestly
appeal to you to give us your hearty
and steadfast support. Republicanism
holds nothing in common with Popu.
lism OF Democracy or any of their COM
binations, or solutions. Therefore, it
cannot recognize any one as being in
fellowship who aims to compound it
with these institutions. If Senator
Dubois and his admiring followers de-
sire to trail in the dust of Populistic
Democracy they ought to enjoy that
privilege without envy or interruption,
and with all our hearts we bid them
God speed, but they shall not gear the
Republican party to the tail end of
that combination. 1t is our aim and
purpose to maintain the Republican
party pure and inviolable, in which eff
fort we earnestly hope and believe you
will heartily uphold us.
Respectfully.
.- ~ GEORGE III. STEWART,
John T. MORRISON, Chairman,
Secretary.
