A CHAPTER ON ANTON.

The stars in their courses fight for
the cause of honesty and reform.
Not a breeze blows into the Citizens
headquarters that does not bear on it
tidings of some kind to show that the
movement is gaining strength with
every hour that passes, and that the
Liberal cause, like a vessel caught on
a rock, is slowly being beaten to pieces
and drifting away by the fierce waves
of popular indignation.
Powers position recalls that of
Richard III the evening before the
battle Of Bosworth Field when that
desperate monarch, feeling himself
beaten in advance, stands in mingled
rage and dispair, and hears the mes
sengers run in, one after another
and bring the news OF the desertion
of dukes, earls, barons and knights
by the score to the ranks of Rich
mond.
Everything was hustle and ANNA
ton about headquarters all day long
yesterday; the news that came from
Mr.. Baldwin's office, that the hobos
on whom personal service had been
obtained, continued steadily to be
moved down, was most cheering, and
the outlook for big number of the
scoundrels to be knocked off the lists
next week, is more than excellent.
There was a good deal of righteous
indignation among the committee yes
terday over the action of the Utah
,-s,
election. Ostensibly the commission
have named one Democrat, one Re
publican and one Liberal at each poll.
In reality they have at some polls
put in two Liberals, by covering one
of this party with the name of Re
publican or Liberal, where the judge
in question is today training with the
Liberal party How does the commits
sion explain this?
The committee are specially indig-
nant over the appointment of Mr.. G.
w. Parks as q Democrat. They claim
that this gentleman has never taken
any part in Democratic meetings or
campaigns; that he has announced
himself to be in sympathy with the
near relative to Sam Ewing, the Lib
eraI saloon nominee for marshal 1t
| is more than probable that there will
be formal protest made against the
action of the commission in palming
off Liberals as Republicans or Dem
ocrats
It should be understood that any re-
Elections cast at the commission do not
apply to General McClernard and Col
onel Lett. Ostensibly the commission
is Democratic in its majority-realIy
| it is neutrality-suspicious., as A B.
Williams, the member allowed to re-
tain his seat by the administration
under the mistaken impression that
he was Democrat steadily votes
with the Republicans and against his
Democratic confreres.
The indignation felt at headquarters
on this account, however, was more
than offset by the cheering news re-
ceived that Hon. John A. Marshall
and Hon. Henry w. Lawrence had
both announced themselves on the side
of the Citizens movement.
JOHN A. MARSHALL
the Democratic stalwert and about the
only big Democratic lawyer who still
remained with the Liberals, is well
known as one of the firm of Bennett.
Marshall & Bradley, and also on ac-
count of the record he made as mem
Der of the legislature two years ago,
when he was elected from this district
on the Liberal ticket A Herald repre-
sentative saw him yesterday imme-
diately after the news of his being in
line reached headquarters and asked
him what he thought of the Citizens
movement.
q intend to vote the Citizens
ticket" was the brief reply.
And what about the Democratic
! legislative ticket?"
Il intend to vote that too"
HENRY w. LAWRENCE
was also seen by Herald man who
said to him:
Mr.. Lawrence, number of people
who knew that you had participated
in the Citizens primaries, seeing you
named as a delegate to the Liberal
convention thought perhaps you had
changed your attitude. Have you any
thing TO say on the point?
Il did not attend the Liberal conven-
ton for the reason that having par
ticipated in the Citizens meeting, did
not feel at liberty to do So" was the
answer.
''You are running for the legislature
on the straight Republican ticket are
you not?"
81 am"
AS this puts Mr.. Lawrence in oppo-
sition to the Liberal party, it is fair to
suppose he is not training with it to
any marked extent.
