cries. Many Of them remember tho
bitter things he said about POpullsts
and POpulism when A. J. Crook was
canvassing the state for governor, and
will not forget the services Of men who
were pioneers In cause which he only
esl oused ut the eleventh hour. Mr..
Clagett has his own enthu. iastlc and
unaDimous endorsement. but not the
endorsement Of all Populists.
The Idaho World sums up the only
truly available senatorial timber -
follows:
Captain Gum was good repuhli.
can until he got inoculated with the
virus Of Populis,n. We believe he u
still II piotectionist am II he stands by
protection he can do IN some good,
while In other respects we know he
can do us no harm.
"Clagett IL u brainy man, q 6Me law.
yer, an accomplished scholar and the
most eloquent advocate Of the west.
Yet at times he Is eccentric and liable
to jump out Of the traces, but II he does
he is more likely TO jump back into the
Republican party than anywhere
else.n
Here IL the most sensational develop
ment Of the week. The Boise Statss-
man of Nov 80, says:
''There Is some interesting senatorial
gossip afioat in Boise, materiallxatiOn
of which would completely change the
comple xion Of every slate that has thus
far been propr osed.
ut Is sald that Governor-e;ec 6tenn-
enbery is the promulgator Of scheme
by which he himself may become Du-
bols' successor In the United Staten
senate. The populistS who are anSag-
onistic to Judge Clagett, II IL said,
have agreed to support Stunenberg. a.
in case Of the latter's election the pop.
ulists will fall heir to the control Of the
state board with Moore ~ governor.
at Is said that Captain Gunn, to.
gether with number Of leading popu-
lists, favors this plan, for the reason
that II they are to choose between
Clagetps election or populist contro!
Of the state administration, they pre-
fer the latter.
A Boise dispatch to the Double
Standard, SAYS:
"In case the democratic members OF
the legislature consider the compact
made at their state convention between
the democrats and populists binding,
they Will vote for pOpulist for the
United States senate. Ii however, they
take the view that that body had no
just power to bind thea, N any such
way, or .hnt this contract was recInd-
ed by the national party, they will do
as they please. In the opinion of your
correspondent they will do AS they
please, anyhow.
with this view OF the case there are
II number Of democrats that are COM
ing To the front rs senatorial candi-
dates.
"James II. Hawley Is spoken of as IL
X. H. Johnson of this city, and James
Reid OF Lewiston. 1t il safe to say
that the silver republican members Of
the legislature who have II natural
I sympathy with the democratic cause
because of the stand that party tool,
for silver will not be averse to sending
: some prominent democrat To the senate
in case it is quite clear that Dubois Cal,
! not be returned
"But with the democratic support
It Mr.. Dubois will get. he has good
i fighting show and will probably be re-
turned, though the fight will be hard
. and long one. He stands much bet
: ter chance than did Senator Shoup
