BROADBRIM'S N. Y. LETTER

NUMBER FIVE HUNDRED! Although the
letters haYe sent out all over the world
for the past fourteen years have very mcuh
exceeded the number indicated above, it
was not until about ten years ago that re-
solved to let the numbers run continuously
as long as was able to write. never ap-
proach new hundred without asking my
self If | shall be spared to see another. /
asked myself this question two years ago
when began four hundred and now can
answer ii with safety. But what of the
future? How about six hundredP No
matter, If we reach the goal all right; If moi
all right; and so we enter on 500 with hope
and trust, thanking the kind friends who
have followed me so patiently and 50 long.
Notwithstanding the beating of drums,
the blaring of horns, the whizzlng of rock
cts, and the wild shouts of the political
clans, found time to turn for few hours
into the Art Galleries to see some of the
grand collections in which New York now

think venture nothing when ! say that
one-half Of the audience which greeted her
on the occasion Of her first appearance
have been in their graves for years. Sam
Colville, her firso manager in the United
States were buried over a year ago, and
two-thirds Of the actors and and actresses
who appeared with her are now Inhabitants
of the Happy Hunting Grounds; but Lydia
seems to be immortal. Her houses have
been crowded AL the week, and half the
dudes in town are crazy oyer her.
Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera, "The
Yeoman of the Guard, - is not an unequivo-
cal success, neither is II an absolute failure.
We have got into the habit Of accepting
without question anything from these
authors. Such delightful contributions to
our light operatlc stage are Plnafore,
Iolanthe, Ruddigore, Patience, The Pirates
of Penzance and the Alikado, that no one
looked for a failure in their latest venture
but the first night it fell fiat notwithstand
ing the expectations of the public, and Its
run is likely to be limited. This is great
disappointment; for the world is indebted
to Messrs. Gilbert and Sullivan for sweet,
clean, wholesome light opera, and both of
them are still Young enough to make us
indulge in the hope that the days of their
usefulness are not yet past.
OF course, one of the very marked
sensations of the week has been the ex-
posure of the spiritual fraud by the
original Fox sisters. It has been terrible
shock to the thousands of dupes here, but
the lates revelation Is that the celebrated
mediums are now possessed of the devil.
| Whether they are or whether they are not,
IL is certain that they have raised sheol
with the spirtiualists. Meetings have been
held all oyer town denouncing them as
liars, and Madame Diss Debarr from her
summer residence on Blackwells Island,
says they are no good.
OF course the political battle RACES with
fury, but if you want to see a regular old
time camp meeting go to the Drygoods
Mems Republican meeting, held every day
at twelve o'clock on Broadway. 1t is like
an old fashioned Methodist revival, they
sing and shout and clap their hands. One
of our great dalies which is supposed to
see as deep into milestone as some of lis
neighbors, remarks, ''that some one is 60
ing to be disappointed on the sixth Of
November" / wonder if this is so?

He was fairly nominated by the Democratic
convention some months ago and is fairly
entitled to the solid Democratic vote. He
is an honest, capable and intelligent gentle

official.

Mr.. Ferry and Mr.. Mulhern

are the nominees Of the Democratic and
Republican parties for the Office of Assemb-
ly. Mr.. Hugh Ferry is self-made man,
having scaled the ladder of success from
slate picker to experienced miner and Is
one of Carbon county's leading educators.
He is certainly entitled to full party vote.
He will make good official and as such
every laboring man in the county will cast
ballot for one who comes from the ranks
of labor.
Mr.. Mulharn is an intelligent gentleman,
but he cannot be elected by Republican
votes, and certainly Democrats will not vote
for him. He has proven himself 10 be toe
much of partisan to secure favors from
the Democratic party.

II YOU are a Democrat and understand
the vital issues of the campaign you will
vote for Cleveland and Thurman and the
straight Democratic ticket. The Demo-
cracy promise the people emancipation from
the present high, onerous and oppressive
taxation that makes the monopollst the
King Of the land and the laporer his abiect
slave. We, the common people, want low
er taxes and increased prosperity. We can
secure these boons by voting the straight
Democratic ticket
Hop are you going 10 potep
II you are Republican and believe in
the principles and thoroughly understand
the doctrines and methods of the party, you
certainly need not be told that they are OPP
posed TO tariff reform and reduction of the
present high war tariffs that burdens the
masses and enriches the aristocracy. II
you are opposed to your own interests, and
believe In enslaving yourself to the pluto
cracy, vote the straight Republican ticket
and you will be endorsing your opinions.
Hoo are you going to vote ?
No matter whether you are a Republican
or Democrat you have a legitimate righ
to express your opinions and vote as yot
see proper. But at the same time your bal
lot should be subservient to your interests
You can only vote once on the mighty
question Of tax reform or increased take
and you should not fail to vote right.

Riding Fatality.

On Sunday afternoon, at about 4
o'clock, fatal and sad riding acciden
took place in this city, resulting in the
death of Miss Alexandria Bruce, of
Salt Lake City. It appears that Miss
Bruce, who is the daughter of Robert
and Margaret Bruce, came TO Ogden
some four or five days ago to visit her
sister, Mrs. Munnuch, who resides on
Third Street. The husband of the lat
ter lady is the possessor of two horses,
one of which is rather high.tempered
animal, and the other is considered
much more doeile. Miss Bruce seemed
to have a great desire to ride one or
other of the horses, and SO expressed
herself to her brorher-in-law, who, how
ever, would not consent to her in
diligence in the sport.
On sun lay, the boy who takes Mr..
Munnuch's cows to herd, did not return
at the usual time in the evening, and
Mr.. M. became naturally uneasy, con-
corning the cause. 3e accordingly
mounted the quieter of the two horses,
and went in search of the missing stock.
He succeeded in finding one, and, on
his return home, tied his horse to Il g

subsequently went, to explain matters

a glance down the street proved that
his niece had taken the opportunity
to have her much-coveted ride. In
mounting, the lady had, on account of

tleman, placed one Of her limbs around
the horn and had fixed the other in

cantered up and down the street for
little while, and there being rather
heavy breeze blowing, which was
climate characteristic of Sunday last,
it will be remembered, the young lady
became scared and threw up the reins
and clasped the horn of the saddle with
all her strength. The animal appar-
emily went along just the same and
struck for home (Eccles' lumber yard),
