THE INSIDE OF 1T.

cd paragraphs:
AS I stated in my former letter,
the Populist party in Idaho is dead
it is simply waiting interment.
The Silver Republican party is
rapidly disintegrating. The lead
ers have nearly all come back in
to the old Republican party.
Within the past month two coun-
ties, which were the Silver Re-
publican stronghold, have publicly
abandoned their organizations and
united with the Republicans.
About ali that remains of the Sill
yer Republican party in Idaho is
Fred Dubois political corpse, julie
Bassett's plug hat, and c. E. Ar
ney's capacious mouth. There
is a little coterie of officehOlders,
appointees of Gov. Steunenberg,
whose whole time is employed in
trying to prevent the Silver Re-
publieans, from returning to the
old party. Whenever they see
in the papers call for the Sill
publican central committee to
meet, and then notice that at the
same time and place the Repub-
lican committee is to meet, these
political scavengers scamper out
with. a bottle of smelling salts to
prevent the dissolution of the Sill
yer Republican party.
Your correspondent has been
shown letters from these office
holders, in which they beg and
implore the committees not to dis
band. But in spite of these APP
peals, the committees have dis
solved their organization and then
u new committee is formed, and
the Silver Republicans are given
one half of it. It's a remarkable
fact that the desire for a reunion
of the Republicans is almost uni
versal. In Blaine county, but one
person held out, and he afterward
yielded, In Fremont county the
union is complete; the sarAe is
true of Lincoln couaty. The Sill

that the officeholders desire them
to remain together in order that

ANOTHER LEADER RETURNS.

AS foreshadowed in THE
TRIBUNE some weeks ago, Ma
jor Geo. A. Manning, the Silver
Republican leader in Nez Perez
county, has openly announced his
abandonment of the Silver Repub-
lican party and returned to the
Republican party. He has sent
to c. E. Arney the following
letter:
Lewiston, Idaho, Feb. IA
Hon. c. E. Arney, Secretary
Silver Republican State Central
Committee, Boise, Idaho.-Dear
Sir: I hereby tender through
you, my resignation as a member
of the State central committee
from Nee Perez county, and also
my resignation as a member of

ces. AS individuals they are not
worth much in the political market.
AS party organization, they will
bring a fair price, hence the de-
sire to keep up the organization.
For commercial purposes they
adept Kentucky's motto-"United
we stand, divided we fall"
/ now call attention to a matter
which I have not seen stated in
the press. When Fred T. Du-
bois was in the Senate he made
many warm personal friends.
When he betrayed the Republi-
cans in the St. Louis convention
he forever alienated himself from
that party. Ever since that time
he has been a political Ishma elite
his hand against everybody and
everybody's hand against him.
Like the dyspeptic and disgrunt-
led Pettigrew, he snaps and snarls
at everything and everybody.
Here in Idaho he is like the Irish
mans turtle "dead, but net sinsi-
bic av it." He has been particu-
larly active in trying to prevent
the dissolution of the Silver Re-
publican party. He has written
the most pitiful letters to former
friends begging them for his sake
to keep up this organization. He
states frankly in one of his letters
that if the organization in the
State is maintained that he will be
returned to the Senate, and that
the Democrats concede this to
him. Right here it may be asked,
does not this confirm what the
rank and file of the Silver Repub-
licans claim, that they are being
used merely for trading purposes?
There is no appeal from Dubois
for the cause of free silver or BIZ
metalism or anti-expansion, but an
urgent, pathetic appeal for his own
selfish interests. He wants TO
get back to the Senate-it will
help him; the organization must
be Kept up for him; he is person
ally interested, and he wants an
office.
Now, in the first place, his
statement that the Democrats con-
cede this to him is not true. He
knew it was not true when he
wrote it. 1t has been an open
secret in Idaho politics for two
months past that Gov. Steunen-
berg and big, brainv Jim Hawley
were both candidates for the Sen
ate. The Democrats despise Du-
bois as much as the Republicans
do; they used him just as they
did the rank and file of the Silver
Republican party to further their
own interests.

Sons of Vermont.

The annual reunion and banquet of
the Vermont Association of Boston
was held Thursday evening at Hotel
Brunswick. 1t was happy gather
ing, well attended and grandly car
ried out in every particular and made
notable in one way at least by the
presence of many alumni of the Uni
versity of Vermont, who attended a
similar event of the New England AS
sociation of Alumni.
The Vermont association, as soon
as it gathered, resolved itself into
business session and elected officers,
including as president Hon. Edgar T.
Sherman. Letters of regret we're re-
ceived from Gov. Crane and Lieut.
Gov. Bates of Massachusetts, Mayor
Hart of Boston, Admiral Dewey, Col.
Albert Clarke of Boston, Lieut. Gov.

tredge Haskins, speaker of the Yer
mont House OF Representatives, Hon.

of Vermont.
Governor Smith was one of the af-
ter-dinner speakers. Ia the course of
his remarks he referred to the Fast
day proclamation of Governor Rol-
Inns of New Hampshire saying; Zone
would think from the public interest
taken in the proclamat ton and in the
interviews and comment that follow
ed it that the rural districts, includ-
ing Vermont, were rapidly declining
in religious sentiment. This impress
sion is entirely wrong. 1t is true that
we do notgo to church Sunday morn
ing, carrying our lunch baskets, and
then go to sleep over an hour-and-a-
half sermon, but religious feeling is
yet dominant 10 the State. and, what
is more, the religious sentiment is on
the increase. Not only is it true OF
religious sentiment but in CONNER
cial Importance, Vermont is on the
upward road of progress" He be.

that there is no stagnation of life in
