Populist State Ticket Ruled Out.

POpulist State Ticket Ruled Out.
On Friday last, Messrs. d. H
Andrews, James O'Neill, L. ]. Mau.
rer, A. Wolters and T. l.. BARLEY
comprising the Peoples Party State
Executive Committee met at Boise,
and filled the vacancies on the
State ticket by placing the names
OF the Democratic nominees, where
the Populiat nominees had with
drawn. On Saturday Mr.. Andrews
went to the office Of the Secretary OF
State with the certificate of nomi-
nations of the Democratic nomi-
nees to fill the vacancies, accompa-
MED by the certificate of Judge
August M. Sinnott, the secretary
of the Populist State Conven-
ton, of the authority of the Execu-
tive Committee to fill vacancies on
the ticket. Secretary of State Pa
trie took the matter into considera-
ton, and later on, a protest against
the filing of the Populist ticket with
the names of the Democratic nomi-
nees placed on it was filed by NJ. f.
Eby, the same being sworn to as
true, Ito the best of his knowledge
and belief" On this affidavit,
which neither proved or disproved
anything, Secretary Patrie refused
to file the ticket. The protest al
leges that the Executive committee
has no legal existence, and cannot
fill vacancy of any kind for the
reason that the resolution offered
in the convention to appoint such
committee, by an oversight, was
not pnt to vote and passed. Note
that this protest is sworn to on the
best of knowlege and belief"
Judge Sinnott went back to Boise
on Sunday and conferred with Hon.
III. u. Johnson, counsel for the sill
yer forces and on Monday State
chairman Perky, Andrews and Ar
ney accompanied by Mr.. johnson
OF counsel, appeared before Secre-
tary Patrie and demanded that the
vacancies as filled by the Populists
be filed. Mr.. Patrie requested that
an affidavit by Secretary Sinnott
OF the passage of the resolution, be
filed, to which counsel objected for
the reasons that the law does not
reqnire it, and that the protest
against filing the ticket is not sworn
on actual knowledge, but on the
best OF protestants knowledge and
belief, and further that Mr.. Patrie
is clerical and not a judicial Off
Ger, to pass on the matter, and if
acting as Judge, is an interested
party in the event. Mr.. Patrie over
ruled Mr.. Johnson and refused to
file the ticket Mr.. johnson and his
clients then left.
An appeal may be taken to the su-
preme Court from Patrie's decision.
or the matter may go before the
people next November. Judge Sin.
mott, while he, by advice Of counsel
refused to file an affidavit said that
he could prove his certificate in
court.
Among those who attended the
State convention and assert that
this resolution, known as the"Jones
Resolution" did pass, are Chairman
Mckinney of the convention, State
Chairman Andrews, Hon. w. H.
Taylor of Payette, D. H. Kerfoot
OF " eiser, NJ. J. Jacobs of Boise
and Hon. I. ]. Jones of Boise. who
offered the resolution.
During the winter of 1897 Mr.
James Reed, one OF The leading citi.
zens and merchants of Clay Co. w
va, struck his leg against cake OF
zee IN such a manner as to bruise il
severely. 1t became very much swol-
zen aud panied him so badly that he
could not walk without the aid of
clutches. He was treated by nhvs;.
cians, also used several kinds of iini-
,nent and two and half gallons Of
whiskey in bathing it, but nothing
gave any relief until he began using
.namoerlain's Pain Balm. This
brought almost a complete cure in a
weeks time and he believes that had
ne not used this remedy his leg would
nave mad TO be amputated. Pain Balm
