denies having been living in the cal
abo0se, and says he went direct to
San Quentin and other places OF
more or less importance. | have
taken every occasion to deny any of
the sinister insinuations ahoat about
bis choice of diversions. He's donned
some good clothes, though his hat
looks old and crumpled. He is joy

tiers at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, many
notabIes have done likewise. Gen.

A. Young (son Of Brigham) and T.
Il. IL. Stenhouse of the Salt Lake
Telegraph are among the lesser men
of notoriety. The city dads have
decided to corral w. II. Seward at
the Occidental at a weekly cost Of
$500 to the city. The bridal suite
of rooms are engaged and awaiting
the guest, who is expected this week.

ages of the Treasury and devising
means for it, replenishment, they
will likely take rooms on Dupont or
Pike Street and grub a, the res!au
rants.

by assigning three negro military
companies a place in the procession
Thus is it again exemplifed that I
Northern Democrat is content t.
obey the dictates of his Southern
master.
