KANAB. Utah, Nov. 1-Never was the
old adsge, "F'alsehood and misrepresenta.
ton travels the world over while truth is
getting On her shoes,'' better illustrated in
politics than it has been in the town of
Kanab and Kane county. About fifteen
months since some leaders went over to
Beaver-all good Democrats-to attend
some kind of meeting there, but to the
astonishment Of their neighbors, they came
back full-fedged Republicans. They at
once commenced to organize and stump the
county, telling the people Republican votes
were wanted aud If that party only had
chance it would do something handsome for
Utah. So the Democrats were influenced
to hold back and give the boys g chance
What they did Is not yet known, bnt what
they prevented others from doing is well
known. So matters became rather mouot
onous. The boys. thinking they had Kane
county solid, ventured over into Washing,
ton county to help the cause there, but r., =
turned sooner than expected, badly whipped
and completely showed under" by the
Democratic champions of our Dixie.
During this time the little cannon was
brought through here, having fired blank
cartridge making noise sufficient 20 wake
up the good old Democratic veterans, who
went to work in earnest and organized,
held their conventions and got up a county
ticket which will not only carry their party
safely through but also carry the county.
Bowman and Woolley having been SO COM
pletely showed under" In st. George,
they bantered our old friend, A. w. WINS,
to come out to Kanab, and they would fight
him on their own ground. or course this
challenge was accepted, and in company
with the Hon. @. w. Penrose he reached
here. may say the very elements con-
spired to make the occasion q pleasant one.
A few minutes after their arrival gentle
shower OF rain commenced falling, which
continued through the night, causing all
creation to rejoice, after a long dry spell Of
five months. This, however, did not pre-
vent the people from turning out to meet
ing. The boys of our brass band were
promptly on hand, discourBing lively strains
of music.
Our Dixie champion was the first
speaker, who clearly defined the uneonsti-
tutionality Of high protective tariff and its
baneful effects upon the country. Other
prominent questions were tersely Handled,
together with our local issues.
Hon. G. w. Penrose followed, completely
covering the ground and most effectually
clearing away the rubbish aud dust which

eyes of the people.
The speakers were frequently and
warmly applauded
After the meeting, Mr.. Bowman an
nounced that he would pour oil on the
trou bled waters tomorrow evening""
Mr. Penrose replied; II hope it won't
be coal OIL" which brought down the
house.
We'll, the oil was poured on, but not by
Bowman. After an hour and half throw
ing mud our friend WINS took the stump
amid tremendous applause and in about
thirty minutes had his opponent completely !
knocked out. He then touched on the
character and ability Of our nominee, j. L.
Rawlins, which had been assailed by
Bowman. WINS completely cleared the
field not leaving a single point for his
opponent TO lean on.
The brass band struck up Hail Column
ba'' and the meeting dispersed under
splendid influence in favor of Democracy. |

accompany friend Penrose through the |
settlements in Long Valley and on to
