After beating around the bush and putting namprng III
vocabulary Of eca makes charges against the honor
able gentleman above mentioned One that he Is Jew lh
other that Mr. Alexander believer the gold standard
1896 and while admitted that he voted for and supported Mr.
Bryan both in 1896 and 1900 he charged with being pocr
because presume he did follow the agare Of Buce ac
Palmer and the only pure gold standard ticket then be-
fore the people Now with Of brains to his credit
can with fairness find fault with Mr. Alexander for his action IN the
two former Bryan campaigns Because democrat he is
mot bound stulfy his intellect and say that his party right on
any public question when believes be wrong. That more
than reasonably expected Of party No should
submit his intellect and his conscience any political party That
rs species of tyranny pencous attempt Of claiming the godke
mind to which freeman should submit It is sufficient and all
that can fairly be asked Of that in all except those that
are matters Of conscience he should get and support the platform
and ticket while admitting that he accord with OF its
provisions Or possibly with the leading candidate Mr. Alexander
believed in 1896 and that the 70 silver issue
sound but majority if the Democratic party regular and legal
convention declared for and he had then under the
droppngs Of the with obsolete photography and learned
now to turn minority majority Dubois did Wallace
he deemed better Judgment to the will of the
majority OF his party gave support to the plat
form and ticket Instead of such being any
ton Mr. Alexander rebounds his who sim
eerey believed in the doctrine of the free coinage Of silver the
ratio OF 10 to deserves special credit for supporting the plat
form and candidates enunciatng such but when will

ifh honor tse demonstrated his loyalty the democratic party
and his best justification that Boise where he is best
known and where his political open book he was
tce elected to the highest position the gift the city, receiving
the practically unanimous of the and polling sufficient
Fepabs@n votes in republican city elect him. These condera
tons should stop the snarngs Dubois organ and shame #
INTO at least a senbance Of deceney
But serious charge remains to be answered The Dubois
