The Republican State Central
COMMITTEES held an enjoyable meet.
ing Saturday at Boise-enjoyablt
to the patriotic Populists and Dem
ocrats OF Idaho. The first fight
was for maintaining the regularity
of the proceedings and supremacy
as the head of the party. The meet
ing stood 10 Mckinley goldbuggers
and 10 Dubois men, according to
Chairman Patrie's roll-call, but the
silver men contended that the gold
burgers had only 9 legitimate rep
resentatives, not recognizing l.. L.
Workman of Boise county as COM
mitteeman, because he had not been
regularly elected. After consider
able wrangling and calling of oppo-
nents pet names, the Mckinley men
declared the office of chairman va
cant and elected Geo. HI. Stewart to
the place. They unseated c. j.
Bassett, the secretary, and put in j.
T. Morrison. The Mckinley men
then adjourned to Judge Heyburn's
room (their leader). At this point
John T. Morrison attempted to take
the records and credentials from the
table, but Gen. George NJ. Parsons
doubled up his right mauler and
threatened to put the new Sec
rotary ''to sleep" if he did not de-
sist. Morrison was game, however,
and had not friends interfered there
would have been beautiful scrap
between these two heavy weights.
But the silver men kept the docu-
ments.
The Mckinley men proceeded to
reorganize the committee by declar-
ing all places held by the silver men
vacant, and electing new men-gold
Burgers, of course. The counties
supporting Mckinley were Ada,
Canyon, Gilmore, Idaho, Latah,
Lemhi, Nez Perez, Oneida, Sho.
shone and Washington.
Mr. HOWE is the committeeman
for Gilmore, and in siding with the
gold standard men he most certainly
and knowingly misrepresented that
great majority of patriotic silver Re-
publicans of this county, and at
their convention at Rocky Bar next
Friday he will doubtless be de-
horned and branded as an Gilmore
Republican maverick"
Chairman Patrie has issued an
address to the Silver Republicans
of the State, and among other good
things he says:
We believe that the attempt In furtherance Of
delibei ate plan to force people to bow to the
will OF The men who betrayed the Republican party
into declaring that the gold standard must be pre-
served, although the effect Of such financial system
has been to the public debt $500 0oo, 900 In
time of peace, and has Increased the purchasing
power of gold until 1t has bowed American manhood
into the very dust We believe il TO be In pursuance
OF a deliberate plan concocted bv godbug commit.
tee in the East TO be carried out By their willing tools
In the West betray the Republican party OF Idaho
and deliver them into absolute bondage to monesei
element that has subscribed SIC, 900 to destroy
freedom OF thought and freedom Of action by our
people We believe IL to be against the interest Of
the people Of our State, irrespective OF party
In case of vacancies in the COM
mittee caused by the withdrawal Of
any of the members from the pres
ent organization. Mr.. Patrie urges
the various county conventions or
county committees to fill the same
and notify him at their earliest con-
venience.
The boiling committee, at theil
organized meeting, with George II
Stewart as chairman. among several
other out-and-out goldbug resolu
tions, unanimously adopted the fol
lowing:
Resolved, by the Republican State Central Cmmit
tee of Idaho in meeting assembled, That no persoi
delegate shall be entitled TO seat or be recognized
/ in said State Republican convention who does no
intend to vote for and support Mckinley and Hobar
for president and vice president Of the United state
at the coming election, and who is willing to so de
clare his intention.
