and territorial, and get the machin-
cry into working order for
future usefulness. There are
many Democrats in Utah who
cannot csnscientiously work with
any of the existing parties, but who
would like to take an active part in
the politics of the country. They
will not endorse Republicanism nor
labor for the dissemination and ad-
vancement of Republican prin-
ciples; they cannot subscribe to the
doctrines of hate taught by
the misnamed Liberal party, and
they are not in harmony with the
Peoples party organization. The
consequence is they are as COM
pletely DISTINGUISHED and as thor
oughly debarred from participation
in political affairs as any class in the
community. A considerable per-
centage, if not a majority of the
true Democrats OF the Territory
come under this category, and they
are the ones who should step for
ward and erect a structure on the
two or three Democratic wrecks that
have occurred here.

Spencer has returned Ex-Governor
Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, In a
suit for $4,000 against Attorney

Spencer was arrested in Nevada on

charge of contempt Of court in not

A BISMARCK newspaper suggests
that Tom Ochiltree received money
for having the Lasker resolution
passed. This is going a little toe
far, and the country will resent the
SANDER. Everybody admits that
Tom Ochiltree is the greatest liar
in Texas, and this admission is
heroic in it's nature when we rehec,
that all Texans are liars; it is agreed
that Tom is blatherskite, and 1t is
conceded that the resolution was a
blunder of q disgraceful character,
but that Ochiltree TOOK money for
his part in the business must be EN-
phatically deniei. Nobody was In.
terested in the matter enough to
pay money to Ochiltree or TO any.

ELECTION BILL VETOED.

ELECTION BILL VETOED.
AS was anticipated by every bod.
the Governor has vetoed the cleo
ton bill passed by the Legislature
The measure was good one, and IL
harmony with existing congress
s:onal la rs; that ia to say, it did no
conflict with any law of Congress
But it would have made no differ
enee. whatever the bill might have
been in reason. 1t Is neither TIT
policy nor purpose of His Elk:
cellency to approve an important
bill OF this character. The Ed
munds act provides that "each and
every duty relating to the registra'
tien of voters, the conduct Of cleo
tions, the receiving or rejection OF
votes, and the canvasing and re-
turning OF the same, and the
Issuing of certificates or other
evidence of election in said
Territory, shall, until other pro.
vision be made by the Legisla.
tive Assembly of ga d Territory as
is hereinafter by this section pro-
vided, be performed" ETC., by a
commission to be appointed by the
President. These com mission ers
are to remain in Office IN il the To-
cal Legislature shall make provision
for the conduct of elections. The
section continues: "And al, or after
the first meeting of said Legislative
Assembly, whose members shall
Aaye been elected and returned &C
eording to the provisions of this act,
said Legislative Assembly may
make such laws, conformable to the
Organic Act of said Territory. and
not inconsistent with other laws of
the United States, as it shall deem
proper concerning the filing of the
Offices of said Territory declared va
cant by this act"
The bill just vetoed by the Gov.
ernor was in every respect conform
able to the Organic Act, and was
not inconsistent with other laws Of
Congress, but Murray says it shall
not become law; and why? It would
abolish the Utah Commission and
return to the people the control of
the elections. This would be en-
tirely inconsistent with the Gov
errors plans, however consistent it
might be with law and with the
principles Of republican govern
ment.
It is plain enough that no change
ia our election machinery will result
from the deliberations OF the Leg
islature. No bill that the Assembly |
,ould conscientiously pass would
< ,eive the sanction of the Ex-
ecutive. Wequestion the propriety
Of any attempt to Tome
to terms with His Excellency. He
will agree to nothing in
eason and the lawmakers
cannot afford, even for the
sake of coming evils, to do more
or less than their duty to themselves
and their constituents. In other
words they cannot afford to submit
to bulldozing norllegislate from fear.
Unpleasant and unjust as it is. the
Territory cen, as 1t is doing, submit
to the imposition Of the commission
better than it can do something /
that 1t knows to be wrong.
There is something, however, that
the Legislature may do, and what
we think 1t should do; it can send |
it's vetoed election bill to Congress,
together with an official statement
Of the facts,and petition the national
lawmakers to pass the measure.
Congress is sometimes reasonable |
and fair, and in this instance it II
might be just. The game is worth
the effort.

He reached sunny side about o'clock that
night. and when within a short distance of

MADISON, WIS, Sept. 3.-The presence
of Gen. Logan in Madison, and popular
demonstration in his honor, combined with
the Republican State Convention, has
crowded the city with politicians and
strangers. The PrOhIbitionists are also
here in force urging their claims upon the
Republican party and preparing for their
State Convention, (which occurs to-mor-
row.
The Republican State Convention was
called to order at 1915 O'Clock this after
noon by Chairman Taylor of the State
Central Committee, who urged that the
business be conducted with dispatch,
owing to the mass meeting to be addressed
by Gen. Logan at O'Clock. The parma-
nent organization was effected by the
nomination of Ogden II. Felters as Presi-
dent. During the absence of the COM
mittee on Resolutions Judge Humphreys
moved that one present State officers be
renominated by acclamati0n. The mo-
tiOn prevailed without debate. The Chair
appointed a committee to walt on the
State officers and request their presence
before the convention. The Committee
on Resolutions reported a platform which
was adopted without discussion. The
State officers were then introduced, and
made briefly their acknowledgements of
the honor conferred. The convention then
adjourned with three cheers for B.sine
and Logan.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 3.-Sergts. Brai-
nerd and Long ana Private Connell, of
the Greely Arctic Expedition, are here
under an engagement at Drew's Museum.
They were shown this morning kilograms
from Washington stating that an army
officer, who had seen the diaries of the
expedition, says that the survivors when
found were in two parties-one headed by
Sergt. Brainerd and the other by Sergt.
Long-living separately as two tribes and
refusing TO speak to one another;
that Greely was an invalid
during the last few months,
and that the party, headed by Brainerd
cared for him like a child, that the steal
of ing ratiOns was a common practice, and
that hunters sent out for birds concealed
them for themselves. All of these state
ments Sergts. Brainerd and Long and
Private COnnell deny emphatically. All
insist that the party was not divided, but
say that while five slept in a wall tent
Sergts. Brainard and Long slept together
under the fly of the tent because the in
terror was not large enough for all.
Sergt. Brarnerd says that Lieut.. Greely
walked out every day and was able and
competent to command the party, which
he did throughout.
NO ONE BUT HENRY SHOT.
All agree that nobody except Henry
was shot. The special correspondents
report of the same army officer says that
Sergt. Brainerd when found was stronger
than the rest: that when he came aboard
great surprise was expressed at it; that
when asked why such was the case he
said, 'Oh, l could eat the stuff
and digest it, but the others
couldn't" and that when some one
of the rescuing party remarked upon
the absence of DIR. Pavy's body, and
expressed wonder as to what became of
it, Sergt. Brainerd said she is all gone.

who the army officer is, but whoever he
may be he is a slanderer. l was not the
strongest of the party, and moreover l
was not on the Bear, but came home on
