Secretary of Utah Territory
The cali for special election on
January 4 to fill the vacancy in the
legislative delegation from this city,
caused by the death of Hon. c. w
Hall. at once brings UP two important
questions.
The first is, will the Liberals put a
ticket in the field?
The second is Who are the available
candidates of the three parties if they
do. and of the two, if they do not?
Probably the first will not be answer
ed until the return of Judge Powers,
and the formal pow WOW of the party
announced for the 10th. The general
impression seems 70 be that in the
absence of any newspaper organ, and
the chance of their having to announce
their nominee at the regular adver-
Using rates" the Liberals will favor
leaving the fight to the regular ma
tional parties. and allowing Liberals
to drop to either side as they may pre-
fer.
An effort to pump the sole surviving
Liberal of any degree of prominence,
Hon. Mr.. Populist Allen, on the part
of Herald representative yesterday,
only met with the cold rebuff 81 am
not in politics, sir"
As to question number two, it can
only be said that the woods are full of
uncut legislative timber in at least two
OF the parties. Among Democrats, the
names most frequently used are those
OF Judge Henderson, w c. Hall.
Thomas Marshall John A. Marshall
James Moyle and Wendell Benson
Among Republicans. E. B. Critchlow.
w. F. James, James Deyine and even
Judge Zane are talked of. But with
the Republicans there is sort of a
nervousness lest the Liberals-who. if
they come into the organiza ton holus
bolus-win swamp it, absorb it even
as sponge sucks up water, and leave
the old timers only the feeblest sort
of a voice in the affairs Of the party

Al nominee themselves. since it is their
SssoteS which are to elect lnim-and let
