Silver movement split Idaho factions and fears of bias
A Salt Lake silver conference report shows a nonpartisan aim to promote free coinage at 16 to 1 with gold, while Idaho committees mix Republican and Democrat members. The piece criticizes Governor McConnell and the Wall Street money power, urging reformers to oppose what it calls a plutocratic conspiracy and to mobilize for 1896. J R Sovereign signs a call to action.
