The news that Utah had been affec-
ted by the slump of the off year was
quite disappointing to the Democrats
in Washington, for they respect Mr..
Rawlins and believe that if ever q peo-
f., pie owed anything to any man, the
people of Utah owed a great deal of
gratitude to him. All the silver men
and a great many Of the gold men like
! him and viii do anything in their
power to help him along. However, all
of them realize that the slump was not
/ due 10 personality, and, as one OF them
remarked to The Herald correspondent
today:
The people were mad on general
principles and they were determined
TO wailop the party. II the hest men
in the country had been put up against
yellow dogs the dogs would have got
there. For that reason l am not sur
prised at the result in Utah.
Mr.. Rawlins went down II a dis
inguished company, which included
the leaders Of the tariff and silver
fight.
Even the Pops. Are in IL.
But the news that the complexion of
the constitutional convention must be
nXed by the official canvass and that
the chances are Very favorable to the
democrats by small majority, has
been a great relief to the Democrats
The two senators from Utah will be of
great Importance, because the holding
, OF them by the Democrats will mean
that the Republicans will be unable
&c organize the next Senate and the
! balance of power viii De in the hands
OF the Populists, who will use it to force
some concessions for silver.
/ All three parties are preparing to
make a great canvass for the new
state, and the Populists will not be be-
hind hand in their efforts Chairman
Iaubeneci, of the Popuist national
committee, said to The Herald CORE
spondent today:
We are going to make d strong cam
paign in Utah next year The returns
from there which have so far reached
US nave not come TO as great a figure
as we had anticipated; but still the
gain we have made is good and it
holds promise of being much greater in
the future. We figure on cutting off
a good amount Of strength from each
OF The two parties in the first state
campaign, because We are the silver
party and mean to impress this on the
people. OF course, 1 understand that
it will be very much harder to convert
the Mormon people to our ideas than
1t will the rest of the population. be-
cause the Mormons are very conser-
Vative. But in the cities and mining
camps We expect many recruits and |
think you viii be greatly surprised at
the strength we viii develop"
Sugar Barrels Opened.
The Republicans will open their bar
rels TO the widest extent and are pre-
pared to buy The two sera tors outright.
They have spent thousands of dollars
in the last campaign. Money literally
flowed into the close congressional dis
tricts, for the protection cormorants
had been early prepared for the fat
frying process and they were compelled
to give up, great deal of their i'll
gotten spoil
There is another fat frying bee
scheduled and the money will be pour
ed into Utah by the Sugar trust and
the Southern Pacific company, each of
whom would like very well to have a
few more senators to look after their
interests.
If Utah is purchasable in the next
election then it is safely Republican.
But the Democrats do not believe
it is
