ssYOUNG UTAH, AT HOME.

OF all the catch cries Of the cam
paign those in reference to "Young
Utah" have been most frequently
reiterated. Both sides have used
the phrase as a slogan, but the
Liberals" have necessarily coupled
1t with extravagant boasts. Early
in the campaign John NJ. Young,
who was then laying wires leading,
as he hoped, 10 the marshal's Office,
declared, so it was reported by his
friends, that he Carried in his
| pocket $50 young Utah votes"
That w II. Ryan was believed to
be unable to command as many
railroad votes as John NJ. Young
could draw from "Young Utah" is
undoubtedly the reason why the
latter instead Of the former was
named for marshal by the 'Iiberal"
convention.
Had the Liberal" managers been |
as astute rs they were INSCRIPTIONS,
they would not have made such n
blunder. Developments have indi-
Gated that Ryan could have drawn
ten honest railroad votes TO every
one which John NJ. Young will |
bring to his ticket from the ranks Of |
"YOung Utah." AS proof Of this
it is only necessary to cite the strik-
ingly conspicuous absence Of
''Young UtshD from the "Liberal''
parades Of last evening and Thurs
day afternoon. The faces in both
professions were closely scrutinized,
out OF curiosity, by a number Of
gentlemen, with a view to noting
whether or not "Young Utah"
formed any considerable element Of
the strength Of that party. Last
night group Of four gentlemen
stood in front Of the postofiice, and
observed closely the nondescript
column as it marched and counter
marched for the purpose Of noting
the extent to which the class
named were represented In it. The
Observers were young men, raised in
this city, having an extensive
here. One of them
recognized only three young men
in the entire column who could
be classed as representa-
tives Of "Young Utah." and the
specimens Of that class whom all
four Of tie watchers were able to
point out aggregated not more than
A dozen. A similar result attended I
a like scrutiny Of the PROCESSION t
1f Thursday afternoon.
Fresh arrivals from Colorado. q
Iowa, ireland, and numerous other j
States and countries, to say nothing U
II faces familiar to travellers in the v
lnbit Of visiting various points on the s
K. g. W., were seen in conspicuous
numbers; but "Young Utah'' was 0
notably absent Whatever other Q
'esult may ensue from this CAM n
align, it has sent "Young Utah" g
lone. 1t hss shown him the folly Z
4 looking TO strangers for guild Il
nee, friendship and benefits, "
ather than to his parents, kin Il
red and neighbors. 1t has 1
'roved to him that he cannot Il
rust his own welfare In the hands re
I men who would rob, imprison Ii
nd make aliens Of his parents. 1t ii
as taught him that men who will in
ommit crime for the sake Of gain to
lg power will do the same for the W
Ike of money, and that they cannot
trusted to control public affairs
nd treasures.
Today ''Young Utah" stands with
is parents and friends. Whatever I'D
iay have been his political pre-. 20
lections in the past, his disposition al
form new ties, to try new friends pa
Id test new theories, the educa. Nv
9nal process he has passed through toi
this campaign has taught him re
St what years ofexperience among AZ
e enemies of his parents and De
ople would have done, namely. 70
al the class who by sacrifice Gre ea
ID Utah from the forbiddIng ele- ea'
snts Of desert, are to be trusted an
preference to the Spectators and ser
venturers whose chosen emblem eco
