Realizing that the integrity of
the Republican party in this
State is endangered by conflict
of views upon the subject of BIZ
metallism, a principle long cher
ished and advocated by q major
ity of the Republican party, but
respecting the best method of ac-
complishing which there has al
ways been a diversity of opinion,
it is deemed wise and patriotic,
at this time, to set forth o few
facts which may serve to direct
the conduct of unwavering Re-
publicans and inspire in the
hearts Of the faltering renewed
loyalty to the grandest political
organization known to the his
tory Of this government. No
political party has yet succeeded
in formulating creed which in
all particulars met the unqualifi.
ed approval of every member of
the organization; and no party is
likely arise within the lifetime
of this generation that can hope
to attain to that degree of per-
lection. Therefore, each indi-
vidual citizen, sensible of the inn
perfection of all human contriv-
ances, should associate himself
with that political party which,
in its aims, professions and ach-
ievements, reflects most nearly
his own ideas of correct and sue
cessful government.
The question which confronts
the Republicans of Idaho today
is this Ought we to sever our
connection with the national or
ganization because it is not in
strict accord with many of us as
to the best method of establish
ing bimetallism ? This is the
sole subject of difference between
the national party and the Re-
publicans of Idaho. Is this diff
ference sufficient cause for alien
alton ? / believe not; and more
over | am firmly convinced that
within the Republican party rests
the best promise for the cause of
bimetallism. On the other hand,
what assurance have we that
abandonment of the Republican
party will contribute anything
towards the desired result? Only
this; A naked Democratic prom
Use. made in face of the fact that
but recently, though Democracy
was in full control of every
branch of government, it made
no effort in that direction. Shall
we repudiate the wisdom and in
tegrity of the Republican party
because Democracy, sinking un-
der the weight of its own mis-
takes, grasped wildly at silver
while still clinging to its oft ex-
ploded free trade policy ? Ought
we, for one moment, contemplate
remuneration of party. every
page of whose history it the rec
ord of splendid achievement and
unequalled success, TO enlist un-
der the brnner of an organiza,
ton which has proved itself sing
ularly Incompetent in every re-
spect. save only as breeder OF
disaster ?
It's my profound conviction
that when the intelligent Repub-
licans Of this State have care
