1 Grreting:
It has been made known 70 this com
mittee that certain nominees OF on
party have been obstructing fusion Ii
, the state Of Idaho. They msy meal
well, but are doing just whist tie Re
publicans desire. and have put them
selves 10 position where suspIcIoI
cloucs their reputation, and In our jndg
ment loyalty TO the cause OF reform de
; mande that these men be rebuked 81
the polls, and that the POpuilsts, slivel
Republicans and Democrats. wboss
names appear on the Democratic ticket
should be elected.
1 In August, 400. this committee hay.
ing previously heard with regret that
fusion had not been effected by the re.
form forces Of Idaho, after consulting
with the Democratic national commit.
tee. cOncurred In an invitation 70 ID. K.
Andrews and X. 1. Perky, the clairmeu
respectively OF the POpuiist aud Demo.
cratic parties Of Idaho. 70 come to CHI.
cago and IL possible adjust an honorable
and harmonious fusion.
Senator William v. Alien, q POpuIist,
offered resolution, recommending that
the Offices be apportioned among the
reform forces ~ follows, 70 wit:
The Democrats 10 receive the support
and endorsement OF NIL the said parties
for their candidates for gouerGOr, lieu
tenant governor. attorney general, state
treasurer and superintendent OF public
instruction. The POpUlists 10 receive

gress. state auditor and mining inspec.
tor; aud the Silver Republicans were 10
receive the endorsement and support OF
all the said parties for their candidates
for United states senator and secretary
OF state.
The resolution further recommends
each party withdraw Its candidates for
Offices apportioued TO the other parties,
and then 70 endorse the nominees OF the
parties. thus making u complete fusion.
The resolution further advised that
the selection OF the names of prrsiden-
tial electors TO be supported by the three
reform forces be left 10 the discretion Of
the joint executive committees OF the
respective parties.
We are In position 10 positively as.
sure the Popnlist voters Of idaho that
the Democratic state central committee
has followed the recon- mendalions made
Ia Chicago in letter aud in spirit. They
placed on their ticket the names OF
Thomas L. Glenn for congress, z. W.
jones for auditor. and Martin II. Jacobs
for mining inspector. This was done.
notwithstanding four of our candidates
refused TO Withdraw. thus aiding the
Republicans aud endAngering the sue
cess OF Bryan.
Your state committee has agreed to |
support all the names appearing on the |
Democratic ticket, which action We en-. |
donse.
Now that the tao state committees |
have agreed ON the basis OF fusion we
appeal TO every Populist In Idaho to
rally TO the support OF the ticket thus
selected. There are three electors, 4 |
United States senator, congressman 4
and 4 state ticket At stake. IL is posi-. |
BILE that the fate Of the national ticket |
may be decided by the electoral votes Of |
Idaho. II is polli0le that the complex
ion OF the United States senate may de. |
pend on whether your legislature elects |
the gallant Dubois or Republican. Ia
case NJ. Bryan is successful. rs he is al. |
most certain 10 be. he should have a |
congress with him OF his own political !
faith. IL is possible that the failure Of |
Idaho TO select reform congressman |
might prevent the consnmAlion OF that
result
For the above reasons the national
Is properly interested in the |
dght in your state. The fate Of the re-
public, even OF free government itself,
may hang in the balance.
while we have no desire to Interfere |
In state and local affairs, We urge upon |
every lover Of liberty. every friend OF
the people, every supporter OF good gov
10 forget all minor differences,
IL such there be. and give his enthusias.
tic support TO the. fusion ticket in Idaho.
The Peoples Party brought the re-
form movement into existence and is
now the impetus which carries that
movement forward. No Popultst can
fail to do his duty. in this, the hour of
crisis. We have fought too long when
the way was hard, to falter now on the
eve Of victory. Let US unite the ranks
rs we have done In 90 many fights In
the past and march forward.
In behalf Of the rights Of labor, OF In.
dependent manhood and OF justice to the
we call upon you TO roll up such
= victory for human rights Ms the state
Of Idaho has never known. Knowing
the high principles which animate you
we believe you will do il.
We send you tidings that all over the
nation our principles are marching
and our cause is winning
new recruits. before the dawn Of the
new century wewill have won the great
est victory for humanity since that
