In speakingAe the resolution to
indorse Senator Shoup, that was
then before the Republican Conven-
ton of Ada county, a delegate op-
posed it because he believed it
would antagonize the Silver Re-
publicans, Democrats and Populists
who are coming to the party in
Aocks this year.
We believe the gentlemen to be
mistaken. Senator Shoup,, as a
freighter, merchant, prospector,
miner, soldier, Indian fighter,
briefly, as a typical pioneer-is be-
loved by all classes of Idahoans who
know of his splendid record and
hisunimpeachable integrity. There

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found an article sent out by the
Chief Of the literary bureau Of the
National Democratic committee, re-
ferring to Occur d Alene matters.
II contains one significant state
ment which should give Repubi"
cans pause. In 1896 the Democrat
ic party repudiated their great and
good Idol, the Hon. Grover CleVe-
land of New York, and charged
him up to the Republican party.
Ever since they have sought to
create the impression that Grover
was really Republican and secured
his election from Republican
sources. There is no doubt but
that many good, but i'll informed,
people have been turned away from
RepublicanisHn and rectitude be"
cause they were made to believe
that the Republican party was re-
sponsible for Cleveland. This was
a heavy though unjust load cruelty
thrust upon the Republicans by
their heartless political enemies.
But there is something in store still
worse. 1t will be noted by refer
ence to the article mentioned thai
the Democrats now propose to re
pudiate Steunenberg, and, ofcourse
it is their intention to load him or
to the Republican party. 1t seems
to us that this is carrying thing
too far. Even in political warfare
inhumanity should not be carried
to such excess. We believe Repub

bower, and who in Idaho did NOT,
will grieve to hear of his death.
For long time he had been in i'll
health and finally succumbed to a,
stroke of paralysis. He died at the
Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane,
May 2. Vic was not an exemplary
man according to the higher moral
codes. He was rather what might
be called good fellow. He would
drink a little, smoke a little, cnss a
little, eat a great deal and wrote the
most outlandish scrawl of any man
in the west. He was fond of hon.
esty, and once told the writer of
this that he was never in his life so
panied as when a prominent Cald-
well gentleman failed to make good
bona fide promise to give him
forty dollar suit of clothes for a lit
tie legislative business which he
had transacted in county division
case. We reproduce the following
biographical sketch from the .Sbokes-
mau-ReWieW.
"Mr. Bierbower, who was of
German descent, was born at York,
Pa, in 1849, where i he was raised
and educated. While yet young
man, and just after graduation
from college, he left his home and
came west to Omaha, where he en-
tered the law profession. He prac-
ticed there until 1883, when he
moved to Haley, Idaho. He lived
there for six or seven years. Dur
ing his time there he became the
owner of a large section of land,
which he used for ranching pur-
poses. From there he went to Salt
Lake City, and was one Of the
prominent attorneys during the
Mormon trouble. He also spent
several years in both Boise and
Shoshone, Idaho. About a year
ago he moved to Grangeville, where
he has made his home since. While
in south Idaho he was local attor-
ney for the Oregon Short Line, hav-
ing been connected with the law de-
partment of the Union Pacific while
he resided in Nebraska. He was
at one time member of the 1egis-
lature of Nebraska, and served one
or two terms as member of the
State senate. At one of the ses.
sions he was elected president OF
the house. He was Idaho's second
lieutenant governor.
"The deceased had many friends
throughout the western states, and
was very popular. Ne was a
staunch Republican, and took an
active purt in the politics of Idaho.
His last appearance in court was at
the supreme court session held at
Lewiston but a few weeks ago, in
whico he took prominent part in
the Buffalo Hump grub stake case,
with which he had been connected
from the first. He leaves broth.
er, Austin, who is an attorney al
Chicago; a half brother, Governor
James Boyd of Omaha; a sister,
Mrs. E. L. BierbOwer, of Omaha,
and half brother at Washington,
D. c. He also leaves a niece, Mrs
S. Haas, yf Kansas, Neb., who ar.
rived in the city just in time to b
at the bedside of her uncle when he
passed away.
/ "The funeral arrangements have
not been made. The Elks viii
probably take charge of the funera
and of the interment, as the deceas
ed was a prominent member of tina
lodge"
