Silver Republican Resolutions,

Ol'NSi ~ ~ OCliSctii iASoOi Ot'O'io'
The Silver Republican state cen
trail committee at its meeting at
Boise, March 1, adopted the following
resolutions defining the position of
the party upon certain questions of
present importance:
The following resolutions were adopted:
"The silver republicans of Idaho renew
their allegiance to the principles of bi
metallism. They appeal to the record Of
the present administrator as a vindica-
ton of their judgment in rejecting the
platform adopted at st. Louis. 1t has
now been demonstrated that the promise
made favoring international bimetallism,
and to which many republicans chung as
last hope, were meaningless.
"The secretary of the treasury, who is
charged with formulating and sustaining
the financial policy of the administration,
not only did not sustain the efforts of the
monetary commission while that body was
abroad, but through daily utterances,
widely published, declared that this coun-
try was firmly committed to the gold
standard, and that the object of this ad-
ministration was to so firmly establish the
single gold standard that it could not be
shaken in the future. The president inn
proved the first conspicuous opportunity
90 sustain the utterances of his secretary
indeed, had, by his silence, always sup
ported him. This action on the part Of
the administration makes the issue clear
and no voter can consistently sustain tn,
present administration at the polls, anC
OF the same time be faithful to the caus,
of bimetallism.
eve declare the reinstatement of bi
netallism to be the paramount issue il
American politics, and vital beyond al
issues, because upon its success depend
the just solution of the financial question
and the political social and business free
dom of the people; therefore,
Resolved, That we cordially indoors
the recommendations made by the nation
81 chairmen of the silver republican, demo
cratic and populist committees for cor
certed action on the part of all true b
Hnetallists; and, be it further
Resolved, That, in line with the re,
concentrations of the national chairmel
we urge a union of the voters in Idah
who believe in bimetallism and a jui
measure of value as the vital princip
around which inevitably cluster the m
terial hopes of the people.
eve welcome the women of the sta
to the ranks of eligible voters, and ca
their attention to the fact that the silv
republican party was among the first
pronounce in favor of extending the fra
chise. We recommend that the organic
ton be extended throughout the sever
counties that the women of the state m;
be thoroughly represented in the organ
zation of the party and we cordially
tite them to affiliate with the silver repu
lican party.
"Resolved. That we heartily indorse {
proposition to secure proper represent
ton Of the state at the international a
Transmississippi exposition to be held
Omaha from June to November of Il
year, and pledge our cordial support to t
idaho commissioners in their efforts to (
cure funds for this purpose"
