POLITICAL SALAD.
The Liberal Nominees.
"a vivisection.)


]. c. CONKLIN, nominated for may
or by votes purchased with a distinct
contract for the delivery of a certain
number of votes in return to Captain
Paul, the Amorine nominee; votes
never delivered, and Paul sacrificed.
Coni,lin's familiar appellation on
streets Pint Cup Conklin-owing to
his mental aliber;emphatically, a light
weight; another appellation, IMAM
imous Conklin; has no opinion of his
own; reflects the views of last man he
talked to; agrees with every one.
Notorious on the board of public
works for ease with which he can be
worked" by advocates of various
schemes. Carries in his inside breast
pocket a certificate reading Il am not
a Catholic '-another-'I am not an
Amorines''-on the streets obsequious to
a degree to both Catholic and Amor
ines. Has promised the earth, the
fullness thereof, the milky way and
the aurora borealis thrown in to
heeIers who are supposed to WELD an
influence. Is mot above personally
buttonholing contractors soliciting the
votes for their men; has done it in one
notable instance and met with whole
some rebuff "A real estate boomer, who
was stranded in the boom. In finan-
ces. close; views of public duties
narrow guage; announces on stump
that if elected he will owe no allie
glance to any except the Liberal par
ty. In every way NOT the man for a
crisis like the present, and a city like
Salt Lake.
JOHN T. AXTON, JR., nominated
for recorder as a reward of demerit;
arose to eminence on the same ladder
as Clute, Hyams. McCallum. Morris.
ct al-the ladder of registration. Work
in the Fourth precinct, where he swore
to purge lists of the names of hobos
and tramps-infamous. Lists when
taken in hand by present registrars
rotten. Justifes his violation of law
by saying he was told to do it, agent
and tool of his party, capacity only
fair. The very man NOT to be en-
trusted with the responsible position
of recorder.
H. T. DUKE-would be treasurer,
but won't be; a genial fellow. no bet
ter and no worse than a hundred other
young fellows about town who could
have been selected, who like poker,
and plenty of assistant treasurers;
worst trait, lack of courage of his own
convictions. A Democrat-knows all
city offices were parceled out to Re
publicans in late convention; in pri-
waite inveighs against it, not loud, but
deep. Knows the Liberal party
represents nothing. has no future and
on last legs generally, but dare not
take a stand against it. Privately
hob-nobbing with Democrats for two
years, but never got up courage to
throw off shackles. Reasons shacl1les
and public crib too closely allied.
Must be left at home this time, and
will then be ready for reconstruction
and making of good Democrat.
S. z. EWING nominated for mar
shat by heavy whisky interest which
predominated convention. Not so
Objectionable as whisky man-as
Sunday whisky man = ran notori-
ously open Sunday house all
IlIn6 WAS HISHiUSA VI ely SOu1Sli.
Quarreled with Mayor Basl1in on being
told his saloon was no better than
any other law defiers, and front door
would be smashed in just as quickly.
Personally .popular-especially with
liquor men and sporting fraternity.
An ideal sporting man himself; horse
racer and bettor; in business unsuc-
cessful. Has raised united and solid
opposition all church people, and law
abiding citizens. Whisky men take
intense interest in his candidacy, and
will leave no stone unturned to elect
him if every other man on he ticket has
to be slaughtered.
EICHNOR, other name significant
Dennis. Harmless generally. capacity
limited, intense Liberal whose party
feelings would be apt to sway
legal judgment. Not in same
class with Grant Smith. Republi-
can who has had thoughts of
coming OUT for years past but like
Duke, lacked courage. When police
attorney, made a record best ex-
pressed by word-blank Certainly did
not make himself a terror to law de-
fiers
DENNY, brief1ess barrister. Never had
but one case of note-defending
Ryan-and lost that; otherwise I'M
known.
