The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-08-26

The minority, composing the voters of
Salt Lake county who designate them
selves as q part of the g. o. p, which
letters by the way may be construed
as great old people, grand old pushers
and several other terms are just now
discussing with great animation
whether the Office shall seek the man
or vice versa. At the hour of D. M,
yesterday vice versa was so far in the
lead that the other side could not hope
to catch up before Tuesday night.
Republican candidates are so plentiful
that one would infer that that party
really stood some show of winning. The
intelligent voter is sought after most
vigorously. One horny-handed son of
toll Informed the writer yesterday that
he had thirty inquiries regarding the
health of his family while walking a
block. 1t matters not what ones prin-
ciples may be either, the candidates
SympathieS are always with the elector.
If the latter is an Irish-American the
seeker for votes does not hesitate to
condemn in strong terms me A. P A
while the latter is comforted by
denunciation Of the political policy Of
the Church of Rome The high tariff
man is informed that the candidate be-
lieves in erecting a wall around the
entire United States, to the exclusion
of all foreign products, whether manu-
fuctured articles or raw material, while
the low tariff man is confidentally told
that the late Winfield Scott Hancock
was pretty near right when he de-
clared the tariff was a local issue.
DeputyShips galore and good paying
jobs are promised and to the listener it
would appear as If after election the
land was going to flow with milk and
honey foot deep.
Rotation in office is the motto of all.
The 'ins" want TO rotate back into
their easy seats and the "outs" to ro-
tate in.
CONTEST FOR SHERIFF.
The contest for sheriff seems to be
the most lively. There are more candi-
dates for the SHOES of William Mcqueen
than would be required to repair Hades
for $3.50 feet But there isn't as many
by one as there used to was" George
Olsen is retired. Georges chances were
good at one time. Doxey was going to
nominate him and every one knows
Doxey. He was going to press George
as a labor candidate; refer to his con-
nection with the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Carpenters and JoinerS of
America and carry the convention with
a whoop. But George dallied too much
with $40 gold pieces and people down
at the joint city and county building got
to talking about his refusal to divide
up evenly on that plumbing con-
tract matter, so George retired and
furnished as a substitute Joe Smith
of saloon fame, who, backed by the
liquor dealers, proposes to ride rough
shod over all opposition and land
plump and solid in the coveted seat.
Bowman Cannon is making a quiet
fight for the place and is doing
the rural districts for all there is in
them. Cannon's chances would be very
good, but the friends of the industrial
army are skuldng in their tents and
show animation only when they re-
pair to their grindstones and sharpen
their knives Harvey Hardy points
with pride to the fact that he was
elected selectman by the largest ma
jority ever a man received in Salt Lake
that he has never done man
wrong in his life, and claims that the
working men are with him. These
three are the leaders. Several smaller
fry are feeling around" and more an
may be looked for at al
most any time.
COUNTY COLLECTOR.
For Collector Fred Leonard claims
that the mortgage he holds on the Of
flee. which is d partial recompense for
his residing here, is not yet cancelled,
and that therefore he should be given
another chance. Sam Westerfield,
however, disputes this view, and to
that end has placed himself Sin the
hands of his friends" for the place
This action on Westerfelds part has
caused Leonard to execute flank
and as a result he has
rolled his barrel out on the piazza and
prepared to knock the head in. In
fact ii is intimated that he has al
ready stove in one stave and brought
out enough coin to cancel several en-
which the foxy Fred deems sufficient
TO make him solid with the party, for
when Judge Colborn dominates him
this can be alluded to so feelingly as
to cause a touching scene.
COUNTY ASSESSOR.
Billy Lynch will run for county as
SCISSOR. as will Clifford J. o. Irwin. who |
is working like a Trojan with good eff |
feet. The fact that Lynch has held |
office for four years seems 10 initiate /
against him, sentiment being in favor |
Of IF it is a good thing. pass it |
around"
COUNTY CLERK.
Charley Stanton, ex-county regis |
Irar. ex-deputy county clerk, ex-city re- |
,order and ex-clerk in the legislature, |
has a claim for recognition of his |
ability. in explaining that he has al
ways been Republican, believes the
A. P. A. of which he was once a mem |
Der. is un-AmericaB. that the county is
A sad state, etc. that he is not a |
chronic office-seeker. so please let me |
De county clerk. T. NJ Bishop rises |
to modestly ask for the same Office. |
and there you are as regards Mr.. Me-
oy's force.
COUNTY RECORDER.
Joe Lippman is likewise a candidate
Tor reelection and, it is rumored, will |
expend at least thirty dollars. between
his and the convention. Joe is now
for the vote of the A. P A., |
which organiza ton he last fall had no
use for. But several members of the
,rder are secretly laying for him."
and it is likely that he will find Jordan |
1 hard road to travel inasmuch as if he
-ries. to say that he did not the other
side will take a whack at him for re-
using an elegant opportunity.
L. NJ. Earl will try for the place and |
s said to be making lots of friends in
lis party.
