Mr.. Bryan'S Honesty.

Pittsburg Post.
That Mr.. Bryan has not lost his
hold upon the people is admitted
by his most rabid opponents. In
the four years since the struggle of
1896 he has traversed the country
from end to end, addressing thous-
ands upon thousands of listeners of
everv shade of political belief and
the result is an overwhelming con-
6dence in his downright and up
right sincerity of purpose. And his
many frank utterances as appearing
in print have only tended to
strengthen that confidence. Hon
esty and sincerity then are gener-
ally recognized as making up a
large part of Mr.. Bryan's character.

mot receipt from the ticket
seller at the point of starting.
This certificate will be stamped

Anti-Dubofs Boom.

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 10.-A few
Hannaites in this city are trying
to launch tender senatorial boom
let's for some local Democrats
against Fred. It. Dubois. Among
those named are Governor Steu-
nenberg, Jas. HI. Hawley, A. A.
Fraser and Texas Angel, it being
suggested that they may enter
the fight to defeat Dubois and
win the senatorship.
This talk is repudiated here by
every one of the Democrats men
toned. Mr.. Fraser assured the
Herald correspondent that he
authorized no such use of his
name in connection with the SEN
atorial matter. He and Mr..
Hawley were both members of
the Pocatello convention and en-
dorse its action in naming Dubois
for United States Senator.
Friends of Governor Steunen-
berg are loud in denunciation of
the use of his name as a candi-
date. Ex-Mayor Alexander says
there is but one sentiment in the
Democratic party and that is to
elect Dubois, and that the Hanna
ties are trying to create trouble,
but that Democrats understand
their scheme and will defeat it.
Salt Lake Herald.
The Democratic party, Popul-
lists and Silver Republican par
ties are in honor bound to sup
port Hon. Fred. T. Dubois for
United States Senator, according
to the terms agreed upon at the
Pocatello convention. If the
democrats and other silver par
ties should prove false to that
agreement it would forever kill
these parties in Idaho. A pledge
of honor is the most binding of
all pledges. We want the fusion
parties to fulfill their agreement
in every respect and elect Du-
bois. Custer county gave big
Democratic majorities mainly be-
cause Dubois was the nominee of
the party for United States SEN
ator, and our two members in the
Legislature are pledged to vote
for him. Republicans will use
every influence possible to de-
feat Dubois, for they know by so
doing it will be the death blow
to the Democratic party in Ida
no. They know that they have
no show of electing a Republican
to this position, consequently
they will resort to almost any
method to defeat Dubois, know
ing full well that if he is defeat
ed it will SOW seeds of discord in
in the fusion ranks. This is why
they are SO anxious that any one
else should be elected but Du-
bois. Before election they said
that Dubois would not be made
Senator if the fusion ticket was
successful. Since election they
proclaim the same thing.
TO fusion Legislature of Idaho
we say Stand by your agree
ment and honor and elect Hon.
Fred. T. Dubois, Idaho's great
silver champion, to the United
States Senate, or, elect some one
else and damn the party.
