Quite little furry has been
created in political circles dur ing
the past week by the publication
of a letter written by Secretary
of State Patrie to some of his sill
yer Republican friends. If We
may judge from the general tone
and character of the letter, it evil
IDENTIFY was intended as only for
private perusal, but, as is generally
the case with such epistles, it fell
into the hands of the philistines
and was put in print. In order to
better understand the causes
which led up to Mr.. Patrie's
present attitude, we should go
back few years in the political
history of this State. 1t will be
recalled that when Fred Dubois
chaperoned the Idaho delegation
out of the St. Louis convention,
Mr.. Patrie was chairman of the
Republican State committee. Mr..
Dubois plan was 10 capture the
Republican organization, reorgan-
the party on distinctively silver
lines and run things to suit him
self. 1t was thought that the
straight Republicans would be so
few here that there would be no
protest to that sort of procedure.
Mr.. Patrie looked at the situation
through Mr.. Dubois glasses and
did all in his power TO turn the
regular Republican organization
into an anti Mckinley, Silver Re-
publican organization. Through
the energy and determination of
Senator Shoup, w. ]. Mcconnell,
John T. Morrison, w. B. Hey
burn and other members of the
Republican committee, the Du-
bois scheme to dismember the
Republican party was baked. In
simple fairness to Mr.. Patrie it
must be said that he frankly &C
knowledged the injustice and il
legality of the Dubois scheme and
declared that he would not have
:acquiesced in It had he suspected
any considerable opposition. The
truth is that nine tenths of the
people thought with Mr.. Patrie
that there wouldn't be Republi-
cans enough left in Idaho, after
the St. Louis convention, to hold
a caucus. If such had been the
case, the Dubois plan would have
succeeded, but it turned out other
wise. AT that time there was nc
idea of any collision with Democ-
racy. The plan was to organize
a Silver Republican party which
should be orthodox in every re-
spect, except on the money ques-
ton, and the constant cry wa:
that the Silver Republicans were
the only simon pure Republicans
On that theory, such men as Viii,
lis Sweet, w. E. Borah, Judges
Huston, Morgan and Sullivan
Lyttleton, Price, Judge Richards
and others united with the Dubois
moveme emit. Upon these lines thu
Campaign of 1896 was waged
the result of which was the defea
of both branches of the Republi'
can party, the success of thu
Demo-Pop fusion and the ute.

tons it must come out of his own
State. There is none on the
outside, /" The Democratic Phil
adelphia Times remarks: "on
the whole, the State elections show
that as between Mckinley, sound
money and colonial expansion,
aud Organism and all it stands
for of reputation and dishonesty,
the American people are for Nc
Kinley and his policy by a major
ity that is simply overwhelming.
The Democratic party may not
be able to rid itself Of Bryan and
the free coinage fallacy next year,
but the verdict Of Tuesdays baI-
loting is that the people as a
whole will set the seal of their
disapproval upon Bryan and all
he stands for as often as the oc-
casion may require" Says the
Washington, D. c. Times, which
is a good, hearty Democratic
journal: "The general result is
to be accepted as a lesson and a
warning" The Times then pro-
ceeds to indicate that there would
have been some hope in Ohio, 'If
the few prominent FiIipinos with
in the Democratic enclosure,
could have been muzzled and
closely confined three or four
months ago" The Louisville
Courier Journal, which is Demo-
cratic to the point of piety, sized
it up like this: "The voters of
the country have refused to regard
seriously the bugaboo Of 'imper-
aIism." The "anti-imperalists'
must either accept that horn for
their dilemma, or the alternative
that, "anti-imp eralism" has been
Overwhelmingly repudiated.
The only State in which they
claim victory for their hobby is
Nebraska, which by a combination
of all sorts of parties and frag-
ments of parties elects Mr.. Bry-
ans Populist ticket. If this is
not a personal tribute TO Mr., Bry-
an, but victory for "anti-imper-
ialism," why is it that Nebraska's
neighbor, South Dakota, which
voted for Mr.. Bryan in 1896,
returns a Republican majority of
, TO- 900 this year? Why is it that
Kansas, which voted for Mr.. Bry-
an in 1896, shows Republican
gains over the vote which placed
it again in the Republican column
Why is it that outside Of Nebras-
ka wherever Mr.. Bryan pressed
the "anti-expansion" issue the
Republicans held their own or
made .gainsa In Iowa, where
there were no local nor factional
divisions, and where the issue was
squarely joined by the two candi-
dates for Governor, one of whom

There are a few Democratic
newspapers in the country which
are trying to make people believe
that Democracy gained great
victory in the late elections. Ida
no Democratic papers are partic-
ularly anxious to spread the mo-
ton that upon the whole the re-
suits were highly favorable, be-
cause, no doubt, they find that
Democratic ascendency in this
State is rapidly passing away.

sembled at Boise, Feby 20, and
caused a revolt which was edi-
torially commented on in these
columns, March I2th, as follows /:
ut is unnecessary to examine the
letter critically. 1t is simply the
death rattle Of Fred's political
hopes. But he hates the Repub-
lican party. His little SOULS tor
mented with its enmity. He al
SO hates all who do not hate as
he hates. His passion is that of
the ungrateful, the disappointed,
the measly politician, gone mad
in the excess of his own conceit.
Still he would have people think
that his choler in nowise results
from a concern in his own per-
sonal welfare. He loves bimetall-
ism so madly, so excruciatingly that
he must needs hate the Republi-
can party or be consumed in the
heat of his humor. This is a
grand spectacle vision of dis
interestedness seldom equaled,
never surpassed. But the Silver
Republicans gaze upon it with
stolid and painful indifference.
The only emotion exhibited is one
of extreme disgust. Judge Sweet
was so tremendously nauseated
that he was almost driven to
drink. Lyttleton Price took a
pain IN the stomach and straight
way went home for relief. Even
Mr.. Patrie experienced that tired
feeling which usually attends tor
pid liver: and, it is said, that Mr..
Borah kicked over half his house
hold goods and quoted classics by
the yard in a vain effort to express
his dismal emotions. Mr.. Dubois
has now perfectly qualified him
self to take leading and honor
able position in the democratic
party. We therefore take oc-
casion TO most heartily and sin
cerely congratulate every other
political organization under the
sun" Mr.. Dubois had now aban-
doned the idea Of fusion with the
Democracy, publicly announced
himself a full fiedged Democrat
and purposed to dump the Silver
Republicans bodily into the Demo
cratic camp. This was an ex-
tremity the Silver Republicans
were not prepared for. Thous-
ands of them turned back and re-
united with the Republican party
while a faction temporized and
advocated fusion. Mr.. Patrie

the strenuous opposition of Mr.
Dubois, prevailed, and succeed in

the Silver Republican-Democra

office getting. The two parties
differed radically on principle in
every particular, save one. II
was not pretended that there was
any harmony of political faith be
tween them, except on the money
question. The Silver Republicans
persistently asserted that they
were as good Republican
as ever, and the only JustI'
