THE TICKET.

The Democrats of Salt Lake county were
indicated yesterday il the selections they
made last week of delegates to the county
convention. That was splendid body Of
men which assembled in the Exposition
building. and by their work they proved
that their neighbors had made no mistake
in designating them to express the popular
will as to the gentlemen who should I'LL the
offices and act as public servants in this
county. We doubt that there has ever
been held here convention in which there
was greater freedom. 1t was apparent
from first to last that there were no strings
on any man present. Every delegate was
absolutely free and Independent, response
BILE only to his constituents and to his con-
science; every one was his own master; not
the faintest suggestion Of "boss" appeared
at any stage Of the proceedings, and the alb
sence of every hint of a cut-and- dried affair
was noticeable in all that was done.
And what is the result! A ticket in the
arranging of which the best wisdom Of the
peoples representatives. has been called out
and freely exercised. 1t is ticket which
will commend itself to every Democrat in
the county who has at heart the best inter
ests of the people and the success of the
party. In its personnel tits unexception-
able; geographically considered it is per
feet, and in a representative sense It is all
that could be desired. We can say all this
not merely as party organ, but &c citizens
familiar with the situation politically and
materially, acquainted with the duties of
the several offices to be filed, and person
ally knowing all the nominees. We know
the latter to be men of ability, of excel
lent character, of high standing in the
community, and Of eminent trustworthi-
ness.
Mr.. NJ. B. SowLEs, the nominee for the
responsible Office Of collector-an Office
which requires business capacity Of high
order and unquestioned integrity-has long
been resident of Salt Lake, where he is
recognized as among our progressive, clear
headed, safe business men. For two years
he sat in the city council, where he made a
splendid record as man of excellent iudg-
nent, careful in his statements, always
courageous in the assertion Of his convic-
tons, and as man without q boss. When
he retired from the Office he carried with
him the esteem and confidence Of his asso-
ciates and the respect of the public he had
served with so much faithfulness and abil-
ity. There is not man here who knows
MIR. SowLEs, no matter what the mans
politics may be, who will not feel content
In his own mind that with the gentleman
named in the Office the taxes will be faith
fully collected and every dollar of the
money accounted for.
In this city it is hardly necessary tc say
anything about Mr.. Z. @. WooLLEY, one Of
the candidates for selectmen. He was born
here, grew to manhood here, and has been
DO prominently identified with the commu-
nifty officially, socially and in business that
one would be confessing inexcusable ig-
norance were he to say he did not know the
gentleman; and to know him az one Of the
brainiest, brightest, most Trustworthy and
reliable citizens. There sre mighty few
men who stand higher in the esteem Of the
public than Mr.. WooLLEY, and mono in
whose hands the people would place the af-
fairs of this county with more perfect con-
fidence that business ability and good
Judgment will be brought to their direction.
The ether candidate for selectman is Mr..
3. B. QUINN, OF Bingham, than whom
there is not a truer man in that great
mining camp nor one who is better liked.
Although he is young in the matter of
years, he has won and holds an enviable
place IN the esteem of the big hearted peo-
pie OF tho Old Reliable, all of whom will
tell you that BARNEY QUINN is the soul of
honor and the personifcation Of integrity.
1t was proper that his end of the county
should have representative in the county
court. and no better selection could have
been made, for while he will bring large
experience and ability into the perform
ance of his duties, he will ever be guided
by good judgment end by that spirit of fair
ness in the performance of an Official duty
which has made him so popular In Bing
ham.
As in the case of Mr.. WooLLEr, Mr.. D.
r. ALLEN needs neither Introduction nor
comment ct our hands. He Is salt Lake
boy" whose whole life has been identified
