if we do work at the bench we can tell
gentlemen by the finish he has. / do not
know what Mr.. Gaines national politics
are, but I have heard that the $4,000
beauty, commonly called O.. W., was a
Democrat. Maybe he has switched, too.
Nothing like being on the popular side.
Gaze upon that batch of Republicans in the
council and the candidates defeated by the
Independents in the county, and Independ-
ent Workingmen supporting and advocating
for Office still another Republican. Oh, yes,
the Democrats are bright-feeding hydra
headed monster who already has a monop
oily of all the offices they can get, and build
ing up the reputation of more, and in the
event Of Utah becoming state the Repub
licans will control the machinery and the
Democrat can take handsaw and buck
wood. 1t is nice exercise, my friend, but
it will keep you broke buying cloth to patch
the knees of your breeches. The Mckinley
bill has passed, boys, and if the force cleo
ton bill becomes law, why we can either
vote the Republican ticket or go to "Aus-
tralia," where we can vote according to our
opinion. Truly those Republicans are stu

From an Independent workingman and

DSInOCTdS-
To the Editor of THE HERALD:
noticed when reading the local items in
your issue of Tuesday last challenge Dur
porting to come from some independent
Workingman to c. G. Goodwin, the Liberal
candidate for delegate to Congress. asking
him to meet representative of the indie
pendent Workingmen in public debate upon
the issues of the present campaign do
not see nor can 1 imagine what any indie
pendent Nottingham could hope to gain by
appearing in public opposed to c. G. Good

tive OF third party can, without being
duly authorized, appear in public debate in
opposition TO either Of the two old parties.
cannot see where the Independents fight
comes in or on what grounds he bases his
challenge They have not made an entry
yet to contest in this race for Congress.
The gentleman probably knows, if not he
ought to, that there are many men in this
city and county who through disgust of the
rule and ruin gang, voted the Independent
Worklngman's ticket on the 4th of August
last, and IL the gentleman wishes to drive
those original Liberals back to the enemy
why, the surest way to do SO
is TO appear as an Independent
Workingman, with proper credentials. in
advocacy OF the Peoples candidate. Nav
be the gentleman has had a change of heart
since the July campaign, and as all political
tricks are possible in this territory it is not
unlikely it might be new importation to
help out Goodwin. BY the way, the gentle
man has not got the requisite endorsement
for his contemplated action vet, and in nv
opinion will not. He might, though. get
out single handed and he would have more
than one endorsement, now that the great
Goodwin has accepted the generalship of
the Liberal hosts, and pay back in his own
coin the debt of "July," for the deliberate
falsehoods told about some of the sInde
pendents' " truest men, whose characters
are as much above reproach as the best
and their morals better than the so called
boodlers in the city council, flisn-fiammers.

counts too numerous to mention. from

gentleman will get on this platform and
answer some OF thai scurrilous Billings

MIR. Editor, it's question and fair one
would gentleman condescend to do such a
thing! The answer is easy. No, Sir Gen

cally. Therefore, speak the best you can of
everybody, my worthy Independent, and

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July l5.-The large
seyep-storv warehouse of the Security
Warehouse Company, on First street and
Fourth avenue. north, owned by Wood ~
Morse. was burned this afternoon, entail
ing a loss of nearly a million dollars. The
fire caueht upon the second floor Of the
building, and ia supposed TO have been
caused by spontaneous combustion. III
soon spread 10 the upper floors, which were
filed with agricultural implements, while
on the fourth floor were 500 tons OF bind
inr-twine. which added fuel TO the flames.
As soop as possible the fremen got to
work. but were hampered by the intense
heat. 1t was impossible for one to APP
proach within 500 feet Of the burning
buildine unless his face was protected.
Two men, Morse, one of the proprletors,
and an engineer were rescued by means
Of ladders from the fourth floor.
They were almost blinded and suffocated
by the dense smoke which oyerhung every
thing. making 1t impossible TO distinguish
anything at distance Oh Ten teet. On
the south side was the large storehouse OF
John Deere y Co., which was saved by the
herolc work of the fremen. just at the
rear stood the Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Omaha railroad round-house,
in which six engines stood IN stalls.
They were quickly removed, rs 1t was
feared that the house would be crushed by
the walls, but happily this was not the
case. Upon the north stood the three
story stone building owned by Matt KEGS
and occupied as a dwelling-house by a
number of Jewish families. This. was
crushed fiat, as was the one-story frame
building used as a shipping room, IN which
was stored a quantity Of machinery.
