THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Editor lift OF the P0catelIo Tribune Gives
His Views on the Political Situation 10
This State 10 the Review.

George N. lift, editor of the Pocatello
Tribune, stopped over in the city for
few days on his way home from Lewiston,
Idaho, where he attended the republican
state convention last Tuesday as a dele
gate from Bannock county. In discus
ing the political situation i'll Idaho he
expressed it as his opinion that Governor
Steunenberg would win out in his con-
test with Former Senator Dubois for the
democratic Endorsement for United States
senator, but thought it would all be labor
lost, as he was confident that the next
senator from Idaho would be republican
and that Senator Shoup would succeed
himself Mr.. lift said:
80 far as the republicans are concern
ed, the situation is plain and presents
neither complications nor uncertainties.
The party is united, is harmonious and
its members are confident of success. The
silver republicans have come backalmost
to a man. know this to be true in the
southeast, and all reports indicate a
similar situation in other sections OF the
state. They are even now more intensity
partisan than the old line republicans,
for they have tried the democracy aud
have been disappointed. They feel that
they have grievance to settle with the
democratic party. do not believe that
it would be possible to find 10 silver re-
publicans in any one of the six south
eastern counties which compose the

many more populists in any of the coun-
ties.
'The republicans of Idaho are prac-
tically unanimous in favor of the re-
election of Senator Shoup, and should
they control the next legislature it is safe
to say that he will be returned without
opposition. Judge w. b. Hepburn dis
covered this fact when he went over to
the convention at Lewiston the other dav
and retired from the contest gracefully.
In this move the Judge has probably
made no mistake, and if he would but
settle the question of his actual residence
i'll favor Of Idaho, it does not seem i'm
probable that he would this year be the
nominee of the republicans for congress
and would thus remain strictly in line
for the United States senate as the sue
cessor of Senator Heitfeldt, two years
hence. Judge Hepburn is a big brainy
man and, as IL representative from Idaho,
he would command consideration for and
give dignity to the state such as few men
could do.
$50 far as the democrats aud anti-re-
publicans forces are concerned, the stu
alton is not so clear. 1t will be fight to
finish between former Senator Duboi s
and Governor Steunenberg for the sena-
torship, with the odds in favor of the big
governor. Mr.. Dubois friends will de-
mand an explicit declaration in his favor
from the democratic state convention.
The convention will be forced to meet
this question squarely and must either
| accept it or vote it down. If they do the
latter, it will wipe out the last vestige OF
silver republicanism in Idaho; if the
former, it will be over the political corpse
of Frank Steunenberg.
Governor Steunenberg has all along
kept his fences in good repair and he
does not propose to give Dubois the ad.
vantage of any kind of Endorsement He
does not feel that he is under any obi
cations to stand aside for Dubois or that
Dubois can bring to the democracy any
support that would compensate for the
sacrifice Of the United States senatorship
In fact, he wants to go to the senate, ant
he recognizes the fact that if he is eve,
to 90. it must be at this time. He can no
afford to miss this opportunity, for ther'
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1900-05-16

Is no human probability that he will ever
again be as strong as he is now or have
as perfect control of the party machinery
as he now has.
"In the northern counties there seems
to be some considerable anti Steunenberg
sentiment among democrats, but the
southern counties will more than offset
this and the opposition to the governor,
which, it is claimed will influence the
national democratic committee as well
Friends of the governor do not take kind
" to the efforts of such democrats as
Lentz and Sulzer to make capital against
the republicans by discrediting the Of
fetal acts of the democratic governor OF
Idaho.
'Just what part the popnlists will play
in the coming campaign in Idaho is hard
to say. The resolution which Senator
Hetfeldt succeeded in getting adopted by
what is known as the Bryan wing of the
populist party the other day, and which
condemns the course of Governor Steun-
enberg in the Occur d. Alenes will prob
ably array them on the Dubois side, but
Dubois will be pretty bitter pill for
them to swallow, and they may decide to
keep the middle of the road They are,
however, few in numbers. In the south
east there are none. There are few in
Blaine county, but that Is the only CONN.,
| III 10, ,,,, .,1,,c1, tha., will
be able to make any showing
"Since came to your city have heard
that at Occur d Alene City, a few days
ago, Governor Steunenberg announced
his intention of again being candidate
for the governorship and Of making his
fight for the senatorship from the gov
ernor's chair. This, of course, presup-
poses his ability to control the state
democratic convention and to defeat the
plans of the friends of Dubois. Under
such conditions he would become very
formidable candidate Dubois would then
be out OF the question, as would also any
aid or comfort to the democrats from the
so.called silver republicans, but all the
same it would make it necessary for re-
publicans to get up mighty early to beat
him.
THE whole situation is such as to give
much encouragement to the republicans
1t was notable at the recent republican
convention at Lewiston that large per
centage of the delegates were men who
had two and four years ago been with the
silver republicans, and also that there
was complete harmony between them ant
the men who had always been straigh
I republicans. Before the EZRA of fusion
and the bolt of 'o6 Idaho was safely re
publican and the indications seem to b.
that with the return of straight polite
the state will swing back to her prope
place in the republican column.

z unions and combinations in politics
