TEE PEOPLE In RICH COUNTY.
The Ticket Nominated The Liberals Rustling,
but With Poor Success.


LAKETowN, Rich county, Utah, July IS,
neutrality-suspicious. of TIE HERALD. l.
The school elections in our county were
held as by law provided, and resulted
favorably to the Peoples cause in each of
our five precincts. The s'Libs' in Wood
ruff got showed under badly, an evidence,
it would seem, that stealing even Mormon
meeting houses don't pay.
A Liberal mass meeting, comprised OF
about half score or dozen disciples OF
the new creed, held forth in Randolph a
few days ago. Probate Judge Frazier was
honored as chairman, and j. w. Bingley,
lately an enthusiastic Peoples man, was
installed as secretary. A county central
committee was formed, in which all the
settlements are represented save Laketown.
1t is presumed that this burg has hereto
fore been such afstronghold for the popular
party that, ifithere is any Liberal timber
here, 1t was not accounted worthy to be
used in the Liberal machine
A ticket embracing candidates for county
offices and several OF the precinct places Of
public trust, has been set u going by the
LlbS. May they never succeed, except in
repeated and unalloyed defeats. While
our friends, the enemy are aspiring, the
People are by no means asleep. Caucuses
were held on Saturday evening in Garden
City, Meadowville, Woodruff, Randolph
and here, and delegates chosen to attend
to days convention.
AT Laketown caucus Messrs. Alma Find
lay, Joseph Irwin, Geuig3 and Samuel
Weston ''got there by unanimous choice
as chairman, secretary, chaplain and SER
geant alarms. The delegates and alter
mates were elected by ballot, Messrs. Ira
Nebeker, j. w. Shelby and Isaac T. Pric,
getting the delegateship and Messrs. Sam
Weston, Willis Johnson and Alma Findlay
received the majority vote as alternates.
The nominations tor Peoples candidates
for precinct officers were voted upon viva
yoce and victory perched upon the follow
ing gentlemen:
AS candidate for Justice of the peace
Alma Findlay, the present incumbent.
For constable-Our constable, Samuel
Weston. For fence vieWers-Joseph Rob
inson aud John w. Shelby.
Verify, good strong ticket, and one that
deserves and will doubtless receive the
hearty support of every voter in the pre-
cinct.
When the results of the election were
declared, motions to make the candidates,

So far as can be learned our coming cleo.
ton will be more ''interesting' than here
tofore. The Lbs will of course use every
endeavor TO get the offices. 1t will be safe
TO predict that if the People are as ener-
getic as the foe will be, and is, the
Lbs Will stay where they are
and ought to be, till they get
in the majority, just far enough outside Of
the offices. Some of our Liberals, a
year or two ago, were so very eloquent as
Peoples men pro TEN, as to almost make
matter of fact Peoples adherents literally
sick with their pretension. Soon we ind
them going over TO the other SIDE and they
are now no less nauseous. The Peopic
will soon learn who to trust, if, indeed.
they do not already know full we'll. One
man told us the other night that he was q
Liberal. We calculated inelegantly, why
the devil didn't the Liberals come and
grub the sagebrush, deal with the indiana,
starve with the grasshoppers, build th,,
bridges, etc., instead Of waiting till the
People, by the blessing of Providence had
made out Of the desert, country so that q
white man. could live heres' To which
the young man answered not word.
We have misiudged the people of Rich
county, II they are not determined, so far
as the law permits, to everlastingly keep
out OF the offices in their gift, the hands
and persons of the ocalled Liberals. We
know not what they would do. They may
do right. But, judging from what the
kith and kin have done in other localities.
we say with our whole soul, from ali
Liberal mis-rule good Lord deliver US, and
let all good citizens say amen.
The Peoples county convention held
forth In Randolph to-day. Wesley K. Walton
and j. NJ Grant were chosen with other
officers, as chairman and secretary pro
TEN and permanently. A tremendously
deliberative time was spent aud the re-
turning delegates, as they pass through
our burg, express their great satisfaction
at the success in every respect of the con
vention. Following is the county PEOPLES
ticket: For selectman, Ira Nebeker; as
SCISSOR and collector, A. W. Nebeker;
