GO SLOW.

The Salt Lake Tribune of last
Sunday publishes letter from an
anymous republican in Chicago as au-
thority for the claim that the pros
pective peace arrangement between
the populists, silver republicans and
democrats involves the release of
Paul Corcoran, the dynamiter When
good man or a good woman once
goes wrong they generally descend
to the bottom in infamy, and when
paper turns from the people and
bends to the evil geniuses of the
world it has absolutely no morality
and the more malicious the lie cal
culated to take with the unthlnking,
to the injury of those whom it would.
tear down, the more eager it is to
sin and bear false witness against its
neighor. The Tribune displays woe
full ignorance of affairs in Idaho when
it does not know that outside Of Sho-
shone county the Couer dAlene
matter is scarcely an issue except as
republicans seek to twist it this way
and that as they think some vote
may he turned to the Hanna ticket.
The populsts in the whole south of
the state are dead against any dyna-
inter, when it comes to that local
matter, AS are democrats and silver
republicans. But as political issue
the populisls in the greater part of
the state are as indifferent to it as
the other parties, and they would no
more turn Corcoran loose than the
Salt Lake paper would remain true
to its own teachings. The Tribune
should go slow, very slow in this
matter because its party up in this
neck of The woods has adopted u
plank which tickles the dynamiter
nightly and every dynamite paper
in north Idaho is dancing in glee and
telling how the Shoshone county
labor vote is solid for the republican
ticket, and in spreading such wild
tales the Tribune may turn away the
dynamite strength from Idaho re-
publicans.

Mckinley The Salt Lake Tribune
thus complains:
He was most abusive four years ago of
Mr. Bryan, and while he does not now
seem to think any more of him than he
did then, all the gall in his diseased
mental nature seems to be concentrated
upon the Republican candidates.
To this Mr.. Godkin should reply:
"Mr. Goodwin was violent four
years ago against Mr. Mckinley and all
the dark influences now seeking to
return him to office, but thinks more
of him now than then and all the
gall in his diseased mental nature
seems to be concentrated upon his
former candidate, Mr.. Bryan"

The Boise Statesman OH hlish,

The Boise Statesman pu blishes a
story about a book called the "Sec-
ond Battle" in imitation of Bryan's
"First Battle, which book is being
printed bv non-union printers The
story is being circulated to carry the
impression that Bryan will not pat
ronize union labor. 1t has been in
press dispatches during the past
week that Mr.. Bryan's attention had
been called to the matter, and he
knew nothing about the book and
was in no way concerned with it
The Statesman knew all this when it
published the story, but it makes an
administration journal mad these
days if good lie explodes before
the paper gets to print it, and they
generally 60 on and print it anyway,
rather than be baked.

ure from us The Tribune feels no
more humiliation. 1t does not feel
that, whatever the weight of con-
gress against Mr.. Bryan at present
and leaving out prospective changes
during the next four years, silver
men should stand to their guns and
exhibit determination to fight the
great world wrong until it is riehted.
Mr. Raymond E Dodge, the re-
publican political writer, closes an
article, warning the gold power that
its strength in the senate is seriously
threatened if the issue Of Imperialism
is given reign, with these words.
The two wings of the democratic party
in 1892 poled for Cleveland and Weaver
more than 50 per cent of the total vote
With the machine leaders of both wings
united as democrats under Bryan their
success this year would mean 'the com
plete control of both houses of congress,
as well as the presidency; with power to
alter both the standard of money and the
currency of daily payments. Will the
American people indorse free silver as a
relief from the scare of lin perialism ~
How eagerly does the Tribune
sieze upon the "imperial' screen be-
hind which to covertly aid the gold
cause!
Because Mr.. Bryan says that if
elected he will call congress together
to handle the Philippine question
and arrange for their liberty the
Tribune prefers to give the gold
power full and absolute control of
the government for four years more.
Does it mean to say that at the end
of that time their position will be
easier to assail? When did the word
CELEBRITY grow more obnoxious to
the Tribune than "gold standard, 1"
and when did the fear to let congress
adjust the Philippine matter come
upon it?
The Tribune says Bryans intention
is to dishonor the flag That is mere
clap trap, a simple assertion which
it cannot demonstrate. 1t says Mr..
Bryan is opposed to the courts. By
reading Judge Lochren's decision,
Yin Tooth Federal Reporter Ex-
parte Ortiz, and Supreme Court de-
cisions cited, 1t will learn that the
courts are with Bryan. Bryan's

attitude to the courts is exactly the
same as four years ago and the Tri
bune then found no objection, be-
cause it was not then seeking excuses.
The Tribune shields itself with that
creation of fancy, an ''irredeemable
greenback " 'Tis strange how, as

ders at bogies which four years ago
he would have used, had they been

The Tribune says silver is not an
issue. Mr.. Mckinley in his acceptance
speech says it is the paramount issue.
Roosevelt, addressing the republican
clubs at st. Paul, in the Auditorium,
spoke at great length upon the money
question and declared it to be the
paramount issue. Did the Tribune
see in Puck recently where Bryan
was pictured as fake cripple,
wooden leg lashed to his knee and la
beled imperialism while the well
limb projecting behind carried the
legend "16 to l. on it? The
Tribune knows that the country
is sweeping to anti-imperialism so
strong that the republican managers
are alarmed and are madly striv-
ing to revive the now ''dead issue, "
upon which they won before, in order,
to stem the tide. After battling for
twenty-five years against the gold
standard, the Tribune turns from
Bryan at the word elderly" and
clings to Mckinley who declares
that the gold standard shall be main
tanned, and if the Tribune also would
head off the anti Imperialism senti-
ment it ought, in duty bound, to
take up the money question and cry

the fever and subverts every human
attribute for trades sake it can he
meaner in heart and mind than it
ever represented the mercenary cold
devils to be.
The Tribune intimates that Mr.
Bryan is a twister in politics and
gives the Signal some sickly reasons
for the assumption. If it dlshkes
candidate who turns about, the reply
is that Mr.. Mckinley said we had
plain duty in Porto Rico and al the
dictation of trusts changed his posi-
ton. He said colonial policy was
criminal aggression and insists on
holding colonies. He was once for
silver, then an international bimetal-
list and now says the gold standard
must be maintained. Who has the
clean record? Bryan has never
changed, but new issue has risen
for him to meet. He is still the
incarnation of the silver cause to
those who believe in silver. Whose
position has been the most steadfast?
When the Tribune says the reas-
ons for silver no longer exist it
should explain why. Have the
causes been removed? When the

army contractors has ceased and
fictitious prosperity is unveiled, what
