Good Campaign Work-Amusements Past and
Future-Melange.
The Democratic work accomplished dur
ing the past week speaks well of the enter
prise of that party in Provo. Enthusiastic
meetings have been held in all the pre-
cincts, and both Democrats and Republic
ans have turned cut well to audit the argu-
ments of the orators. Among the cham
pions Of the cause are Judge w. n. Dusen-
berry, d. D. Routz, w. II. Brown. v L.
Halliday and hon. w, II. King, who never
allows business 10 take him from a good
act toward his party. These men are, in
connection with many other good Demo-
Gratis, doing credltaole work throughout
Utah county.
These meetings were appointed in antici-
patton Of an election for city officers in
February, but whether or not this takes
place nothing is lost in the campaign, as
the people are being educated to the true
genius OF Democracy. MIR. King, during
his visit to Provo with the legislators, re-
marked that he was proud of
Provo because of her Democracy,
and it was this as well as the
many natural advantages and enterprising
citizens which would one day bring the
Garden City into great prominence. He
also ventured the opinion that the next
city election would take place IN November
His reasons for advocating this postpone
ment were TO harmonic the time of cleo
tons, and stated that there was no special
party favor contemplated. Democrats who
have hitherto opposed the move have later
expressed their desire to see the election
bill pass, with the amendment designating
February as the time Of election.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The week just past has been given up
largely to amusement. Hardly night has
passed without number of sociables and
parties and balls. Susa Y. Gates extended
her hospitality TO some of the young people

somely.

extended across the east part of the opera
house, and guests refreshed themselves at
times suitable to themselves after the hour

friends.
The events of the coming week in amuse-
meut circles are Uncle Toms Cabin,n on
Wednesday, the Scandinavian ball and
festival on Thursday, anu the select mas
querade on Friday. The former may be

there are always tears and smiles before
this popular play in the hands of a good
company. Those in charge of the play
"Wednesday are said to be actors of good
rank. The Scandinavians have SET out for
q grand time, and there is no doubt that

true sense of the word, and win at the
same time be grand and imposing.

pairing their own costumes, and a rivalry
