1t is one thing to play horse with
Ryan's hobos and quite another thing tt
capture a federal appointment under
false pretenses.
The grand sachem of the Tuscaroras
who started for Washington in as big
blaze of glory as com ct with tire,
tails, has snuffed himself out, and the
warriors lett at home are already wonder
ing where they are at.
He was going to eat the enemy, but
he somehow lost his appetite en- route.
If there had been such a thing as 6
Tuscarora programme prepared it has
utterly wilted under the chilling infiu-
ences of the Washington atmosphere, ano
the whole gang are filed with unspeak-
able disgust by the inconsequential figure
cut by the grand sachem. He has been
rafting around at Washington for a
week and has only succeeded in stirring
up the animals left at home.
Judge Anderson, who has just re-
turned from Washington, informed a
HERALD reporter that during the whole
time he was at the national capital he
never once heard even the barest mention
made of the alleged Tuscarora contest.
ssWe don want any Of the offices, any
way said disappointed brave.
"sThere is not single Office that we care
for. All we wanted was some kind OF
recognition.H
81 would not accept Utah judgship il
the president of the United States asked
me TO take it," said Ogden Hlles. 81
know my name has been sent down, but
that is only a bluff. There is too much
work for the amount of the salary.''
| 1t is we'll known that w. G. Hall was
not candidate for the governorship;
that Powers knew he was not candidate,
and furthermore knew that Hall was for
West, the two having been friends since
I boyhood. 1t was simply Powers trick
| to present Hall's name and withdraw it
| tWenty-four hours later in favor of the
candidate who he had decided had the
best chances for securing the appoints
ment. There are to be numerous repe-
tions of this transparent effort to make
capital, as the grand sachem has a
dummy candidate for every Utah Office.
He is now preparing to pull the string
that will yank Pat Moran in view for the
secretaryship, and now you see it and
now you don't.
As for Pat himself, he views his alleged
candidacy pretty much in the same light
in which it is regarded by the general
ublic-as rather weak joke. He knows
that he could no more capture the secre-
taryship than he could capture comet,
and would not know what to do with
it after he got it.
OF the whole Tuscarora family, Martin
Lannan is said to be the only member
who still hugs the delusien that there
is something in store for the enemies
of the Utah Democracy. Martin and the
Tribune are still dreaming deeams, al
though the latter has lost faith In the
great sachem. 1t is even SO foolishly
convinced that Martin may get what
his brother failed to secure eight years
ago that it is said to banker for Marshal
Benton's removal.
s'I'll tell you a state secret,' said 6
Republican to HERALD man the other
day. s'The Tribune gang are putting VI
a job to secure Marshal Benton 8 removal
That's why they have made so many near
hlngs at him lately. They are possessed
of the crazy notion that Martin Lamar
can get the marshalship, and they cam
wait. It's about the meanest thing ] ever
heard of for paper that pretends to b.
Republican to be putting up jobs on Re-
publican officials.p
The whole farcical situation presents sc
many funny phases that the public il
| intensely housekeeping of course
the Tuscaroras, who really can see moth
ing to laugh at. They cannot concea
their chagrin over the sachem's fiat fail
ure to make himself seen, felt or heard a
Washington.
Alex Mitchell, the Tuscarora candidate
for the marshalship, who fought shy of ;
Tuscarora endorsement, has returned
from Washington.
