OUR TICKET.


From Sundays Daily.
We invite the attention of all good
citizens to the Democratic ticket, in
Utah county, which floats at the head
of this column. We believe that every
elector should be proud to cast a ballot
with those names printed upon it. The
nominees are all able and representa-
tive men. Most Of them have held
positions of trust in the past, and have
all acquitted themselves honora5ly and
ably.
DIR. PIKE, the nominee for represen-
tative to the legislature, has grown up
with Utah. He is well and favorably
known throughout her borders. What
ever he has put his hand to, has pros
pered. Commencing with a small
practice and without reputation
as physician he has outstripped rivals
and now stands at the head OF his pro-
fessiOn. Since the establishment of the
Territorial Asylum he has been medi-
cal superintendent, and has conducted
its affairs to the satisfaction OF the
people OF Utah. He has demonstrated
his ability and worthiness, and his ex-
perience is such as to well fit him for
the position of representative.
The name Of Hon. w. H. KING stands
foremost among Utah's brilliant advo-
Gates. Though young, he has already
made a reputation that will make him
a historical figure in Utahs history.
He has twice served the peo-
pie in the Legislative halls
distinguishing himself for his oratorical
powers, his brilliancy and general abil-
ity. Besides this he has filed several
local offices in AIillard and Utah couu-
ties, and is now the able prosecuting
attorney of Utah county and Provo
City.
Mr. J. D. IRVINE, of Payson, the
nominee for Representative from the
Twelfth District, has been railroad
man for several years, serving the
Union Pacific Railway with satisfac-
ton. He has distinguished himself
wherever he is known as a
bright man, and one representing
phase of our interests that
should be found in our legislature
GEORGE CUNNNGHA1I, the Represen-
tative from the Seventh District, has
been a prominent figure in Utah county
for many years. He has served the
people of American Fork in different
capacities, and they have lately called
him 10 the head of their city govern
ment to serve as their mayor. Being
a man OF practical experience and sound
judgment, he is good nomination for
the position.
The county ticket is also made up OF
strong men. JOHN JONES, of Spanish
Fork, is a gentleman of practical bust
ness ability. The people of Spanish
Fork long ago recognized his business
qualifications and called him to the
superintendency of the Coop. store in
that city, and that business has pros
pered like magic under his hands. He
has been twice elected mayor OF the
city, and for two years has served the
people of this county as a member OF
the County Court to which he is now to
be returned.
Mr.. ABEL J. Evans, Of Lehi, is q
young man who has been prominent
Tor a few years past, and is known to
be a solid, strong man. He was elected
Mayor of Lehi at its last election, and
is known to be a man of stering worth.
Mr. E. A. WILSON, who is 10 serve
Utah county for the next two years as
superintendent OF her schools, is a
young man who has grown up in our
midst. He has proven himself to be a
tower Of strength. Commencing in one
OF our primitive schoolrooms to teach
the rudiments of the English language,
he has made his way up, until to-day
we lind him recognized as one OF Utah S
! leading scholars and authority on
school work and school metkod whose
valuable suggestions our leading pro-
fessors delight in quoting. AS an al
derman in Spanish Fork, he exhibited
traits of unusual legislative ability at
an early age. So engrossed did he be-
come in a love for legal lore, that he
reluctantly stepped out of the peda-
gogue's chair and entered the legal
arena, where we find him to-day, bat
ting with his compeers for honors. Mr..
! WILSON is also member of the board
Of directors Of The DIsPATCH Publish
ing Company. He is a staunch Demo-
crat, and "true blue"
The nominee for coroner for the un-
expired term, Mr.. THOMAS BEEsLEY,
has met the ups and downs of life, and
been successful in whatever he has
undertaken. AS postmaster of Provo
during CLEVELAND administration,
he was at his post and found doing his
duty at all times.
we say the Democrats nave staunch
ticket. 1t is composed of young men,
middle aged men, oldish men, men OF
different and wide experience, but all
men Of distinguished ability, and in
every sense representative men OF the
people. And, better than all, in fact
that which embraces all, they are each
Democrats and viii work for the great
est good to the greatest number, equal
rights, ard fair field and no favors.
