1t is really sickening to read the way
the Boise Statesman slobbers around
about international bimstalism since
the St. Louis convention. 1t has dropped

soon hear the sound OF the people drop-
ping the Statesman.-Weiser Signal.
1t seems to be the general opinion
throughout the state that Governor Nc
Connell is trying to disrupt the repubii-

Idaho may think OF the political situa-
ton as it is to-day, we believe that there

/ 1t has been generally concsded that
the nomination OF Mckinley meant his
election, but with the continued grow tn
of the silver sentiment in the east there
is possibility Of defeat. 1t wilrdepend
upon what is done by the Chicago con
vention, as well as what the silver re-
( publicans do. II there should be com
bination OF silver democrats, populists
and silver republicans and good nom
ination made, we are inclined to believe
the ticket would win.-Idaho Register.
The Boise Statesman has started in 10

out OF the republican ranks at home,
and says that when the state convention
meets, none Of them can be admitted
Well, we shall see about that later on.
The Statesman is a companion RATHER to
