LOGAN, Utah, March Especial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. Logan has now
passed through the most interesting po-
just concluded is the closing event of a
brief but bitter and even exciting cam
paign-not made so by reason of the
strength of the Liberals, but through dis
satisfaction, concealed and unconcealed, in
the ranks of the Peoples party. This
latter condition has shown itself variously,
and at one time, shortly after the conven-
ton, tickets threatened to become so nu-
merous that the most eXacting and capric-
lous taste could be gratifed, but none of
these movements took the shape of active
organization.
The closing meeting of the campaign on
the Peoples side took place in the Reese
opera house on Saturday night which was
fllled to overfiowing with an enthusiastic
crowd. If any of the warning factions were
represented in the gathering, they kept
aloof from the proceedings and gave forth
no sound. DR.. o. G. Ormsby presided, and
speeches were made by j. M. Tanner, j. A.
Leishman, [. M. Haines (the candidate for
mayor, 5. A. Kenner (of Salt Lake., j. E.
Carlisle, h. w. Sloan, Moses Thatcher and
pulling together. The speeches were up
roarlously received, and when adjournment
| came all felt that an excellent feeling pre-
vailed.
Yesterday Sunday witnessed no new
developments, though here and there the
indications that the sulkers had not all left
their tents, and that with many the bruises
had but indifferently if at at all healed,
were numerous. The Liberals of course

no ostentatious displays of their satisfac.
ton, being evidently determined to quietly
poll their full strength and let all element
of weakness be on the other SIDE Their
headquarters, in Commissioner Goodwin
office, were open early this morning, and
the dropping in and out of the Faithfully
during the day showed that the interest in
the contest was neither dead nor sleeping,
even if it was not strikingly manifest.
The outcome must be very dispiriting to
the Liberals, notwithstanding their
promises, boasts and hopes of getting in
this time or at least two years hence, for
instead OF showing over an increase their
forces dwindled to little more than a cor
porals guard, and as if to make matters
worse for them it looks like all that was
expected during the day had been fulfilled
and they had shown their hands with their
entire strength revealed. Decidedly

Logan, but is retrograding at all points
here. The votes were all counted at 6 sc
but as there was some little scratching the
definite result was not ascertained till
later. 1t was as follows;
Peoples ticket straight, $50.
Peoples scratched, 80.
Liberals straight, 43.
Scratched, 3.
The result, was received quietly, but
with the great satisfaction. Even Lib
erals as well as kickers now seem dis osed tt
concede that the best thing has been done
that could be and the prediction is freely
expressed that accrimony will now dis
appear and Logan enter upon career OF
genuine prosperity. The total registera
ton was 400, exclusive of names dropped
by the registrars and while the Liberals
are willing to believe all these belong tt
them it is known that the majority belone
to the people, who, as usual did not al
turn out.
