work of organization was perfected. Mr..
Mills introduced Ex-Governor Thomas M.
Waller OF New London as TIE temporary

plause, and during his remarks he was
greeted with numerous cheers. His speech
was very able one, and made lasting
impression.

speaker by the entire convention stand

posed TO the free coinage OF silver, DEEM
| ing Ii device for the debasement OF our
currency. and to the compulsory purchase
OF silver by the government. Under ex-
isting circumstances to pay public debts
In silver coin is reputation to pay pri-
vato debts In silver coin is an outrage to
the wage carer; and to provide for tho
free coinage of silver means the deetruc-
tion of Legitimate business. and great

Colonel SpOOner and Mr..
COVell Seem to Lead.
Ex-May0r Smith Is First Choice of
Two Ward Delegates.
Mr.. Burnham's Name 10 Be Presented--
Caucus May Decide on Mr.. O,ney.

1t Is anticipated that Mt least half a
dozen ballots will be required in the eau
Gus OF delegates to the Republican city
convention before the nominee for the
mayoralty will be determined. The eau
Gus will be hold at noon on Saturday, as
usual In the city committee rooms, and
the formal convention is announced for
O'Clock in the afternoon, at the court
room on Fountain street.
There are four good Republicans who
are known TO want the nomination, and
the delegates will have the somewhat en-
barrassing duty Of rejecting three, any
one of whom would be a good candidate.
The four are: Mr.. william III. Covell,
Hon. Henry }. Spooner, ex-Mayor Charles
Sydney Smith and Mr.. George II. Burn
ham. These four names are to be pre-
sented at any rate before the bslloting
begins, and no one am ong the delegates
pretends to know which will win. In
several instances, where the wish Ia fathe
to the thought, delegate will express a
inee will be, but he can't tell why he
thinks 20. There are no pledged dele
gates, and since the primaries there has
been but little attempt 10 organize NOV,
ment in support of any particular man,
although the friends of the several aspir-
ants are doing considerable missionary
work. kM
IL an informed ballot should be taken
in the caucus before names were formally
presented, it Is very reasonable to as ume 3
that The name of Hon. Frank Fuller Olney
would appear on a majority of the slips
Of paper.
Severs of tho delegates 20 SO far as to
claim that the caucus Will, as Q climax
to several ballots without choice, turn
round and nominate tue chairman OF the
city committee.
There are some things about the caucus
which may be claimed in advance with a
reasonable degree of certainty. Mr.
Covell will get the supper. of the solid
Tenth Ward delegation and MIR. Spooner
is equally sure OF the Second. Ii IN also
understood that the com bined delegation
from the Fifth and Seventh Wards will
support Ex-Msyor Smith at the outset
and so long as he has any chance, and
their second choice will be Mr. Spooner.

DU MAURIER DEAD.
Passed Away Early This Morning
in London.
He Had Been Critically Ill From
Heart Disease.

LONDON Oct,. S.-George de Maurier,
the srtist-novelist, author of "Trilby''
who has been critically i'll from heart
disease for some time past, died at 2:3O
O'Clock this morning.
The end was painless, and he passed
away surrounded by friends. The illness
Of Du Maurier was pathetic in the ex-
treme. For days he had been lowering
between life and death, at intervals con-
versing with his friends regarding h is
work.
= Upon one occasion friend ut the dying
mans bedside referred to the success OF
"Trilbyn as book and asa play, where
upon Du Meurier replied: "Yes, IL has
been successful. But the popularity has
killed mo az last"
One of Du Maurier's friends VINO was
present at his death said: "He died al
most as trsgicslly Gs Svepgali. AT the
zenith of Trilby's fame svengali became
a victim of the heart ana Du Maurier has
gone the same way. At the zenith of his
popularity, the author has succum bed to
the heart from which he always suffered,
which suffering was accent uated py the
constant succession OF exciting incidents
in whic his closing few Months were
spent. Checks rained In upon him as his
old heart trouble increased. This, COM
plicated by sn affection OF the lungs,
took him off,"

Our community was shocked ON
Saturday evening to hear of the sud-
den death of Samuel Edmons. While
working i'm the hay field Saturday
afternoon he was instantly killed by
a lightning stroke from a passing
cloud. Mr.. Edmons was a young
man of "A years who came to Mon
tana from the Iowa home a year ago
last spring. Since that time he had
been working on the Phillips ranch
near Wolf creek, seven miles below
Stanford. Duriug these few months
the noble qualities of his character
had attracted to him many friends
who, with the eastern relatives.
mourn his untimely departure.
There was an unusually large at

wolves, but will continue i'm their un-
faltering allegiance to the party
which has given to the country sub
stantially all the sound and benefi-
cent Legislature it has enjoyed dur
ing the past thirty years.
In this connection l am impelled
to the declaration that an independ-
ent financial system must be coupled
with enactment of a law protecting
all our Industrial and commercial
interests, which can only be accom-
plished through the Republican party.
Relieving this, III earnestly urge all Re
publicans to cooperate in placing
before the people of Idaho straight
Republican ticket, from presiden tial
electors to municipal officers, in or
der to give every voter an OppOrtun-
ity to cast "a ballot for the party
which stands pre-eminently for good
government and prosperity, American
homes and Industries.
The dec tion of Mckinley and the
complete success of the Republican
party in the nation, i'm my judgment,
is positively assured. The best in
terests of all classes demand it, and
1 trust that great majority of the
Idaho Republicans will be for it.
Forty years ago the Republican
party first raised it's standard. Under
it's colors were ranged alf that was
purest i'm American citizenship and
best i'm American statesmanship. To
it's triumphs ON many fields, not only
our country but the civilized world
owes a debt of gratitude for it's
achievements i'm the cause of progress
and humanity. That standard has
not yet been lowered, and will not
he until the beneficent mission of the
Republican party, identical with the
republic itself, has been accomplished.
Respectfully,
GEORGE L. SHOUP,
Member of the Republican National
Advisory Committee.

Senator WoIcott's Position.

DENVER, July Ex-senator VOL
colt tonight issued signed state
ment outlining his position i'm the
present campaign. He says the
silver question is the most vital and
that, while recognizing that inter-
sirable means by which silver could
be restored as u money metal, he
firmly believes the United States
could restore it independently of
other nations. He maintains that
his position has always been the
same as that of the other silver sena-
tors. The financial plank of the Re
publican platform, he says, is far
from satisfactory, but he holds that
the pledge for the furtherance of in
ternational bimetallism must be
taken i'm good faith in view of the
party's record on other questions.
The platform is, he affirms, aside
from the money question, without a
flaw and the nominees of the party
are men of the highest qualifications.
OF other parties, the senator says
the silver party deserves no serious
consideration. The Democratic plat
form, while all that could be required
as to the financial plank, is every
thing undesirable In all other fea-
lures, and he declined to stand upon
it. The Populist convention he de-
scribes as a display of ''incongruous.
ludicrOus and mishappen ideas" and
says il the time ever comes when he
can stand on the same platform and
advocate the same president as Till
man. Waite and Donnelly, he shall
know there is something wrong with
himself. He closes with the opinion
that free coinage will never come
out of the tumble and folly of the
Chicago platform, nor will 1t he her
aided by the bells of Populism."
