POWERS GREY HAIR,
There's a Heap of Trouble on the
Old Mans Mind.
DIScORD IN TIE LIBERAL RANKS.

Timers, New Corners, Apostates, KEEPS.
and Dems. View Things.

All does not 60 as merry as a marriage
bell in the Liberal ranks. 1t may be that
after nominations are made grievances will
be forgotten, political hatchets will be
buried, n the party go on to defeat with
a solid front; but we don't believe 1t. You
may expect such things from a party ce-
mented together by principle, but with an
organization of which the cementing cause
is a-desire for the spoils of Office, a money
making scheme to perpetuate a febrile
boom. it is insanity to look for union after
the opportunity for participating in the
spoils has been lost and the privilege OF
exerting an official influence in shaping the
boom has slipped from under.
The Liberals nave developed a large
number of candidates for the marshalshlp.
John M. Young is said 20 be working day

otherwise, in the most approved methods

is even reported that In a stormy interview
hbetween Chief Carpet Dagger Powers (for
a description of which highly merltorlous
title see the head of our editorial columns)
and John M, the latter, as an ultimatum,
told his high and mighty carpet bagshlp

for or against the regular nominees. as he
chose. This, of course, mad little effect on
Powers, for he knows as everyone else
knows. that there is not a 1.-THE part of $50
young Utah voters in the Liberal ranks;
and suspects, as pretty much all the rest of
the town does, that young Utah Liberals
consist of j. M. Young, H. S. Laney, j. h.
Hurd and Fred. Kessler, those four and no
more.
Liberal delegates to the various conven-

him. Ii is said that among other Liberal
candidates for the marshalShlp is a gam
bier. Whether that is true or not, we may
certainly expect to see the party that en-
joys the monopoly of the saloon, gambling
and so forth, interests, do something in the
way of recognizing them in the ticket, and
there would, of course, be no such useful
recognition as to put up their candidate for
city marshal
H. S. Laney putin some hard ticks to be
elected a delegate from the Tenth bishops
ward to the Liberal precinct convention,
but was left. 1t will be remembered that

Nor the legislature; 1t seems to be Laney'S
fortune TO get left in Liberal politics,
whether it is because he was once a Nor
mon and therefore is always and at present
a. man scarcely entitled to Liberal
honors 1t is hard TO say.
But think of Ben Whittemore, the patri-
otto proprietor of Armory hall, the very
head and front of the offensive Liberals in
the Fifteenth ward, having been ignomini-
ously defeated as a candidate to the pre-
cinct convention. If We Judge Alright Mr..
Brutus Whittemore will avenge this
slight; he is not the kind of a man to
lightly bear the insolence Of being kept
out of Office; his not to reason why, his but
to get there ordie. 1t is even now rumored
that Armory hall is at the service of the
Peoples party.

don't like the cut-and-dried feature of the
nomination, and d~enounce MIR. Scott as a

Meantime, what are they going to do with
the labor unions and Mr.. BynonE 1t may
safely be said that nine Liberals out Of ten
lift up their han in horror at the mention
of Bynonss name, and shudder at the
thought of his -endeavoring to occupy the
place Of MIR. H. M. Wells.
The Liberals of two or three of the
wards nave already begun to divide along
the national lines; and the sentiment is
quite strong among some Republicans that
with Powers and Webb at the helm the
Democrats are nnduly prominent, while
Democrats insist that Powers has nearly
returned to his first love. the Republican
party. and is hand in glove with the Tribune
outfit. the blacklist Republican sheet in the

And then. too. there is the better element
of the party that has little sympathy with
the spirit manifested during the campaign
by the party; those who d%enounce the

of running a special car over the Denver
