NEW CANDIDATEs.-First in order
comes Hon. Geo. A. Kelly, Of VIM,
who aspires to the position OF Sena-
tor from the oath district. Mr.. Kelly
is capable and worthy man, and, if
elected, will make as Senator that
would reflect honor on the district.
Next comes our popular clerk OF
the district court, s. B. Shackelford,
who announces that be is candidate
for reelection. So far be has no OPP
ponent. and will not likely meet with
serious competition in a race in
which he is considered the strongest
man by long odds.
Mr.. S. r. Lee, Jr., is candidate
for the Office of sheriff. He is an en-
ergetic, capable and deserving man,
and would make MS an efficient Off
Ger. He comes before the people in
q fair race, and will rub the winning
man q close shave. If be does not
Garry off the honors.
G. II. Teal, our present sheriff, at
the solicitation of his friends, submits
his name before the primary election.
His past services are sufficient guar
antee in his behalf without our add
ing words to describe his qualifca-
tons.

Ague Cure

Is a purely vegetable bitter and power
full tonic, and is warranted speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, Chilis
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fee
yer, Reinittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Billions Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapsa pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
lassitude. loss of appetite, pain in the Lack
and loins and coldness OF the spine and
extremitics, are only prenoiitions on
severer symptoms, which terminate IN the
agne paroSysnl, succeeded by high lever
and profuse perspiration.
1t Is n startling fact. that qninine, arse
mic and other poisonous minerals, form the
basis of most of the ''Fever and Ague
Preparations,' Specifics" Syrnps," and
"Tonics" in the market The prepare
tons made from these mineral roisons,
although they are palatabie, and may
break the chill, do not cure. but leave the
nialarial and their own drug poison in
the system, producing quinism, dizziness,
ringing in the cars, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they were intended TO cure.
AYERS AcrE Cure thoroughly eradicatcs
these noxious noisous from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. 1t
contains no q,tinine, mineral, or any thing
that could iujure the most delicate pa
tient; and its browning excellence, above
its certainty to cure, is that IL leaves the
system as free from disease as before the
attack.
For liver Complaints, AYERS AcuE
CrRE, by direct action on the liver and
hillary apparatus, drives ont the poisous
which produce these complaints, and slim
ulatcs the system to vigorous, healthy
condition.
We warrant it when taken according te
directions.

What They Are There For.
IN. Y. sun.l

A mistaken notion seems to prevail
in some quarters Of the Democratic
universe as to why there are 191
Democrats in the House of Repre-
sentatives this year, and only l19
Republicans. The Democratic ma
iority is there because the people
sent it there, for q reason and for a
purpose.
The people did not return Dem
ocratic majority in the Forty eighth
Congress because they wanted q
| course of free lectures this winter on
theoretical free trade and practical
protection. Nor did they return a
Democratic msjority because they
cared particularly about giving that
party . lift toward the Presidency
next year.
The great and only reason Why
there are l9l Democrats to 1l9 Re-
publicans in the present House is
found in the reckless extravaganza
and unrestrained jobbery of the last
House, with it's l52 Republicans and
100 Democrats.
The people want honest and econ
omical appropriations. That is why
the upset Robson and his Republi
can majority. That is why they put
. Democratic majority on trial in th'
House. That is why they vii
promptly and unceremoniously upse
the Democratic majority if it misun
deretauds its mission or fails to d.
its duty. !.
It will be well for the Democratic
majority to keep these facts 10 mine
during the Speakership contest, du
ring the organisation OF the Hons
for work, and mp to the very las
minute Of the session.

The United States Central.

The route of the new United States
Central Railroad Is reported to be as follows:
The road will be Of standard guage and will
run from San Francisco to Denver via Santa
Cruz, crossing the Southern Pacific Mt Min
turn, through Big Trees and the Yosemite val
ley, over the Sierra Sevadas ut the headwaters
OF the San joaquin river to Crystal Springs,
Nevada. From there a branch line will be
built south to a junction with the Atlantic 4
Pacific in Arizona. Continuing from
Crystal Springs, the main line will go
to Iron Springs, Utah, from where n sec
ond branch Of fifty miles will be built to NIL
ford and the Southern terminus Of the Utah
Central, making connection with the Utah Pa
cifc. From Milford the road runs In an east
crly direction via Hills valley and Morrison to
Denver The road is already located 800 miles
east from San Francisco and 200 miles west
from Denver, and will, when completed, be the
shortest route over the easiest grades between
the two cities. Should no difficulty be enceun-
tered In obtaining an entrance to San Francis
co, the road will prove formidable competitor
to the Central Pacific. At the election Of Of
ficers held In San Francisco, W. W. Walker. OF
the st. Louis & Hannibal road was elected
president. and John Sharp, Of Salt Lake, and
+. T. Wells Of Denver, Vice Presidents. Con

The Utah Commission,

The Utah Commission appointed I'M
der the Edmuds law, consisting OF Messrs Al
erander Ramsey, A. 8. Paddock, G. L. God
frey, A. B. Carlton and J. r. Pettigrew, has
submitted its second annual report, of which
the following are the principal points:
Very few illegal votes have been cast since
the commission took charge Of the registra-
tion.
As many as Il, 900 polygamists have been e1-
cluded from the polls under the act
The existence Of law dis.
o .heRP for mss .S.r, ena
rfed Mormon who takes but one plural wife
loses three votes for his party, his own and
those OF his two wives. woman suffrage being
established BY law In Utah.
The fact that a doctrine and its practices 20
odious throughout the kingdom should be up
held so many years, against the laws Of Con-
gress and the sentiments Of the civilized world,
Is one OF the marvels OF the nineteenth centu-
those familiar with the worlds history.
II the next Legislature shall fail to adopt
measures In conformity with the provisions Of
ior fhe Of
and Congress will certainly not delay the adop-
tion OF, the most stringent measures compati-
bio with the limitations Of the constitution that
sion of this great evil.
The report refers to the various municipal
elections. and SAYS the most important election
was that Of August g. 1883. The total number
of votes cast in this contest was q, ,969 against
,923 In the last November election. The
principal falling OF was on the part OF the
Gcntilcs or the "Liberal party" In November
the total vote for the Peoples. or Mormon
ticket, was q, ,0sa, and the Liberal 4,sS4. In
August, 1888, the vote for the Peoples party
was q eos, and for the Liberals ,453 from
which It appears that large numbers OF Liber-
ais refrained from voting, n fact much 70 be
regretted for the reason that II Ia believed that
by proper effort and good management one
or more non-Mormans might have been elected
to the legislative assembly, who have an op-
portunty Of putting the majority on record.
In conclusion the commission says that re-
Gently some ten suits were instituted in the
Third District court Of Utah, by Mormons,
against members Of this commission COMPLAIN
ing that they had been uajustly deprived OF
the right to register and vote. These are un-
derstood to be test cases, designed to contest
the constitutionality OF the Edmuuds act, as
well rs the legal construction which will be
put upon its provisions. These suits are stil
undecided and are likely to be appealed to
the supreme court OF the United States.
The commissioners believe that, notwith-
standing assertions to the contrary, plural mar
RACES have decreased since the passage OF the
act.

E. T. Wells, VIM. C. Miller and Ed Rundall,
Denver; William Walker, Cedar Rapids, Ia.
Coroner Ashley, of Ouray, held an
inquest on the body found in Buno creek on
the 24th, mangled by coyotes, which proved to
be that of James c. Dillon, variety actor,
who left Ouray en- foot about the 1st inst. dead
broke and suffering from the effects Of ex-
tcnsive dissipation. He had telegraphed to
his wife at Denver to meet him at Salida, and
it is supposed that, liquor unsettling his mind,
he wandered of the road to Buno creek and
there perished from exposure. Dillon was one
OF the three Dillon brothers who discovered
the Little Chief mine at Leadville, which after
ward sold for 100000. They were all actors,
Irish comedians, and are well know in Denver,
Leadville, Gunnison and Durango.

G.. f. Bailey and r. o. Old. constituting com
mittec Of the Board of Managers Of the Nation
nj Mining and Industrial Exposition, held n
conference with the County Commissioners on
the 9th, and submitted another proposition
looking TO the making OF the Exposition per-
mauent institution. The new PROPOSITION is
that Arapahoc, with the other counties In the
State, purchase space In perpctuity In the
building. This, II is claimed, can be done un-
reference to the rights and duties of County
Commissioners A majority OF the Arapahoc
commissioners who heard the details regarded
the proposition favorably, but thought that
be deferred until direct expression Of nppro-
val or the contrary had been obtained from
some OF Arapahoe's tax payers The matter
was finally referred to County Attorney Mills,
and another meeting OF the Board was ordered
for the first Monday In November, when the
final answer will be submitted.

thought that for some time 10 come fighting

cvitablc that hostiltics will finally spread 10

will be fraught with serious results to foreign
crs in China hdviccs from the interior show
