The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-09-29

8laclzfoot, Ida, Sept. g7-CSpeciall-
My last special To The Herald asserted
that j was tearing myself away from
Pocateno and congeniai people that [
might proceed 70 Blackfoot-I pro-
ceeded, If there be strangers in all
this broad land who incline to tie be-
lief that the first half Of the name
Blackgoot signifies darkness or gloom
In anyway hereabout l rise up here
and ROW 10 disabuse their minds Of
chimelical fancies--there's no gloom
herea bout save in The well regulated
descent Of night And the nights are
orderly TO \ degree Tat at once stamps
the people as intelligent and law abid-
ing-a refreshing feature in itself and
one that older settled communities
might well take pattern from. Upon
arrival he~e, my first impulse was to
surround a substantial breakfast, and
this l did at The B.ackfoot, which is
noted FOR its cuisine and courteous at
tention to the travelling and stay-at-
home public as well Mine most, ]. n.
Downing, is an entertainer Of The royal
type, and if he HAD no money he would
still have friends for the good done
them.
DEMOCRATS ARE GATHERING
Ere the morning was long advanced
/ observed groups OF people congreGat-
ing upon the Streets and as to their
;. mission and purpose / was not long in
doubt. The Democratic county con-
vention was called for the day, and
as Democrats would put in nomination
none but good men and true to admin
lister their affairs-this they would do.
The major portion of the delegates
Were horny-handed agriculturists, a
class that goes for redeeming the
desert and making it bloom IS the rose.
A class that is Woodworking and OBJ
servant, and not slow to learn when
county affairs are being mismanageG-
the payment Of their taxes tell them
In no uncertain terms when they are
being worked through gang rule in
all its glazing methods in open viola
ton of right and justice. In converse
ton with these hard toilers, 1 cleaned
that they were hot upon the trail of
those who had added to taxation in
past years through a system of in
creasing expenditures by the thousand,
and in order that ring rule would be
the gamer tnereby-the people pay the
tax.
They agreed to have sort Of family
reunion prior to the opening of the
convention. in order to learn if they
were unanimous on questions pertain
ing to county affairs as con-
Quoted and dictated to by Republicans,
and was invited to be pres
ent. The Informal meeting disclosed
the fact that all were there to place in
nomination set Of men that would
best conduct administrative affairs, and
the delegates, one and all, were intent
alone on choosing the best men-a
thing prolific Of great good in any con-
Vention This was verified in the after
OF in
for ability and thoroughness in all its
work, / must admit that Bingham
county Democracy, in convention as
Sembled. proved the peer of any such
representative gathering I have yet
had the pleasure of attending. I class
ct as not alone fine-it was smooth, and
merits the highest encomiums that can
be dealt out to it. 1t shows what unan-
Unity of purpose and action will ac-
complish. 1t gives in return a ticket
that viii more than poll its own vote
tt will draw from others.
