IDAHO FUSION SURE
Conference to Be Held In Chica-
90 Will Settle 1t.
TERMS ARE AGREED ON
THREE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES
TO WITHDRAW.

A plan that viii make Idaho dOubly
sure to be carried by the reform forces
next November will be consummated
in Chicago on Friday next. BY its
terms three candidates are to be with
dra IN from the DemOcratic-silver Re
publican ticket and the names Of th5e
Populists inserted in their places. The
balance Of the Populist ticket with the
possible exception of one elector who
will take the place Of a Democrat, will
be withdrawn.
That is the news given out yesterday
by a prominent politician Of Idaho VINO
was in Salt Lake. A conference Of the
leaders is to be held in Chicago, at
which it is understood the details above
set forth will be gathered into one
compact agreement. Those who VIII
attend the gathering of luminarieS are
William Jennings Bryan, Fred T. Du-
bois, Senator Heitfeld, X L Perky.
chairman of the Idaho state Demo-
cratic committee, Chairman Andrews
Of the state POpUlist committee, Chair
man Jones Of the national Democratic
committee, Senator Allen of Nebraska
and Charles A. TOwne.
Meet at Democratic Headquarters.
These gentlemen will gather at Dem
ocratie headquarters, and before they
finish their discussion OF the Idaho sit
uation it is thought that beyond all
question, terms of settlement will be
agreed on. The failure of the POpulists
to fuse with the other reform elements
Of Idaho at the recent state conVen-
ton will be gone over in all its phases
and the reason therefor clearly set
forth.
Il don't think there can possibly be a
hitch" said the Idaho politician yes
terday. THE plan is to give the Pop
ulists the offices which were rendered
them by the conferees of the Demo-
Gratis and silver Republicans during
the conventions in Peeatello. They are
the offices of congressman, auditor and
mine inspector.
Nominees Who Will Retire.
James Graham of Kootenai, Charles
II. Harvey Of Blaine and ]. S. Barrett
Of Bear Lake are the Democratic nom
inees for congressman, mining inspec-
tor and auditor, respectively. They are
all willing, in the interest Of common
success, to get off the ticket. Believ-
ing that causes are greater than men,
they feel that rather than place a
straw in the way Of victory for the re-
form forces they should be willing to
make the sacrifice asked of them
This would make T. L. Glenn of
Bear Lake the joint nominee for con-
gross, z. w. Jones of Boise nominee
for auditor and M. H. jacobs of Ada
nominee for mining inspector. The
three are strong men, and the Demo-
Gratis Of Idaho could vote for them
with the full assurance that they
would perform their duties with credit
to themselves and their state.
eff the Chicago conference carries
coalition through to successful con-
clusiOn, and there is every reason to
believe that this will be accomplished,
success in Idaho is as sure as the
coming OF election day"
The Idahoan expressed the belief that
the silver Republican. Democratic-sil-
yer Republican ticket would win in
Idaho anyway, but he felt that there
could not be the peradventuFe of a
doubt of victory when the equitable
fusion above mentioned is concluded.
