who engineer the plutoeratic combine certain de-
feat before them and quake and gibber like those
ancient ghosts in old Rome they behold the allied
silver forces marshaling for the conflict.
The goldtes are trying to CLEAN some comfort from
the lies spread by their press the effect that Silver
Republicans breaking their necks get back into
the Hanna Republican fold 1t ia true We have lost
few who affiliated with two years ago. but they
are indictments who Silver Republicans for a

vate life OF Governor Steunenberg open the
day. We challenge anv honest man to point to a
single official act of his that will not bear the closest
investigation. He has proven a faithful servant of

the temerty to attack his official record The gold
bug press contents itself with little personal filings
and criticisms that should be beneath the dignity of
even a spanard to promulgate, and are beneath the
dignity of the friends Of the state administration to
notice. The Governor is dude posing a sign for
cheap john clothing house; he is ranting, mouth
ing braggnrt forever imposing his dun platitudes
long suffering public, and forever rushing into print
to air his views every subject; he is simply plain
honest, American citizen, taken from the common
walks of life by the sutfrages OF the people and made
their servant in the highest public capacity of the
state-bent only on doing his duty he it,
without fear fsyor Such men are rare enough in
these degenerate days. and the plain common people
of which the Governor is type will honor him
the less because Of his JefTersonian simplicity and
rugged honesty.

the silver FORCES Of the state The silver forces must
get together not only to win in Idaho but to set AZ
example to the country The great silver leaders o
the nation, Bryan Jones, Towne Butler and other
who have view The whole field, have decided
that union of all the bimettac forces is the proper
thing and line up with them and will do all | car
to such union in this State Personalitie
