personal views, when / was only stat
ing facts as to the attitude of many
silver republicans, including Wins
Sweet and w. e. Borah. The trouble
is the use of the expression coming
back instead of going back to the re-
publican party, AS for myself,
think it is we'll enough known that l
am in favor of the election of Bryan
and opposed to expansion, and be-
lieve this also to be the position or
my party in Idaho. The position that
may be taken by the different political
parties in Idaho relative to purely state
politics is quite a different matter"
President Otto MearS of the Chesa-
peake Beach Railroad company, him.
self celebrated Colorado politician,
says he thinks Denver and Arapahoe
county will go republican this fall. He
has also some idea that the republican
state ticket may win in Colorado next
year. But he does not see any pos
sible chance for Senator Wolcott to be
reelected to the senate. He says that
the next Colorado legislature is certain
to be Overwhelmingly democratic in 1901
no matter how the election might go
on the state ticket. Mr.. Mears was an
active silver republican in 1896, and
says: "Of course l am as strong sill
yer man as ever, but am an advocate
of expansion, and l don't believe there
are any votes to be made by opposing
it." He does not say what his political
attitude may be in the next cam
paign.
Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyo-
ming, who was here this week on his
way to Boston to visit relatives, made
some very dogmatic assertions in inter-
views as to next years results in all
the mountain states. He has pipe
dream of the effect that Carter Shoup,
Wolcott and himself are all going 10
get back to the senate and that utah
will elect republican.
The most curious thing about these
claims is that they are being taken seri-
ously by the republicans in the East
and are being taken as a solace for the
losses regarded as almost certain to
appear in the Eastern states this fall.
The hope of success in the silver strong

| republican success in any mountain
state with the possible exception of
| Wyoming.
| Director Merriam has designated Pro-
| fessor Carl c. Plehn of the University
| of California, and one of the super
visors of the census bureau, to act as
| examiner of enumerators in the Rocky
mountain and Pacific states. He has
already familiarized himself with the
methods of examination and has noti-
| fed the Office that on Oct. he will
| hold an examination at San Francisco
| for the applicants from Nevada, Utah
and Arizona. On the 2Sth of October
| he will conduct an examination at
Portland, Ore, for the applicants from
| Oregon, Idaho and Western Montana.
Once more the president has been
| obliged to disappoint the friends who
have been so earnest in their desire to
have him swing around the circle from
| St. Paul via Helena, Butte, Yellowstone
| park, Salt Lake, Cheyenne and Denver.
This week, for the sixth and last time,

and definitely decided in the negative.

DESTROYS of making the visit and shares
in the disappointment of the western
people over his inability to make the
trip.
