Of the committee room all by himself. To
days contest is the final and logical out

two elements which began months ago
in the territory and which were brough
before the national committee as the court
of final appeal The Republicans tonight
are jubilant over the result Frank Can
non gave witty Interpretation to their
sentiments when he said: ''Why, we've
not only captured the seat, but the man in
it,
Mcbride arrived here from Id aho Sun
day night. He was full of fight. He knew
that Tatlock wanted his seat and he de-
termined to beat him or die in the attempt.
He found Cannon, Brown, Bartch, and
Bennett already on the ground. All the
after
AGREED TO SUPPORT M'BRIDE
as the representative of the Republicans of
the territory They explained to Mcbride
the ground of Tatlock's cantest which was,
first, that Mcbride was a non resident of
the territory, and second. that his proxy,
Arthur Brown, was not satisfactory to the
Liberals OF Utah. Tatlock flied a written
notice of his contest with the committee at
the morning meeting of the committee yes
terday which was devoted to the considera-
ton of routine business. When the Utah
case was considered, it was decided in Nc
Brides favor and
TATLOCR RETIRED FROM THE ROOM
with the best grace possible. 1t was bit

mittee on record as favoring them to the
exclusion of the Liberals. This is the way

the committee to- day, Lelena, OF Kansas,
arose and stated that he had resolution
which he desired to introduce. The reso-
luton was as follows:
s'Resolved, That in the committee elected
by the convention of delegates at Salt Lake
city, September 2, 1891, we recognize the
Republican territorial central committee of
Utah
Resolved, That we recommend to all of
the men of Utah whose ideas of national
government and policy are in harmony
with the national Republican party, that
they now bury their local differences and
unite TO rescue the territory from the dan
ger and disnonor Of future Democratic con-

voice. When Clarkson announced the re-
suit,

and grabbing Cannon's hand, calculated
more piously, perhaps, than ever before in
his life, THANK God" Tatlock watched
this proceeding with ill-concealed disgust

Cannon, holly, 'but Well have it as soor
as it is a state" With this exchange o.

saw Arthur Brown tonight at the AR.
lington and asked him what the politica
effect Of the committees action would bt
in Utah. He replied: 1.-The effect will be
good; it can't be otherwise. Our people
represent three fourths of the Republi-
cans of the territory. The Liberals are
not Republicans; they are Democrats

call them, but they are not Republicans
They are masquerading in borrowed
plumes. They are
