The managers at l'th h-aduartrrs consider that this cotnbinatl'in at the expense of Hie silver Republli atis Is a violation of the spirit of the fr..,. silver campaign, which seeks to ronihtne all the sliver forces, and they fear Its ef fect on the silver Republicans of other western states. Tin y believe that the different fortes should combine on even and Just terms and effect a di vision such as was made In Minnesota and Washington. Moreover, they um slder that It would be especially un grateful In Idaho, because their refusal to recognize the sliver Republicans in volves the defeat of Senator Dubois. The latter is looked upon by both the Democratic and Populist managers as one of the great central figures In the bolt of the free silver Republicans from the Republican party on this Issue. To his Instrumentality also Is largely at tributed the defeat of the tariff bill In the senate, nd to "turn him down" they believe would send a thrill through the leaders of the sliver Republicans of the state.
