Leaving the trades made the night
before the election for discussion in
some future issue, If necessary, We will
come to the point where the several
candidates were invited by Mr.. Brai-
den to adjourn across a dam in front
OF Deer Creek Hot Springs and 500
feet from the appointed polling place,
to talk it over, as he said, in the inter
est Of peace and harmony.
There were present at that meeting
Messrs. Meadows, Braiden, Taylor,
Till,nan, Stapleford, Bolton, baldwin,
Scott, Pore, and another-l0 in all.
After little preliminary talk about
candidates Mr.. Braiden produced a
written resolution which he asked the
caucus to adopt, which, in substance.
was that the judge Of election be re-
quested to not allow any one to vote
who voted at the Democratic primar.
les, nor no person except q bona'tide
resident OF Deer Creek.
To the latter proposition Me-. Bolton
objected that they might thereby be
excluding the vote OF some good Re-
publican who although residing in some
other precinct, happened to be on
Deer Creek, and desired to vote.
The motion was declared carried
notwithstanding the objection.
Mr.. Braiden moved that two Judge.

Mr. Braiden thercupon asked for

sons who always cry for peace are the
first to 20 over to the enemy, and as
such acts invariably lead to discord
we believe they will rebound to the
disadvantage OF those who uttered the

We propose to 60 before the Con
