| Washington, Sept. 2.-[Special 1.-The
good people Of Utah, reposing in the
peaceful valleys of the fair territory,
need not feel any great alarm II in
short time a horrible sound should
come rushing to their ears from the
great northeast. 1t will be a combina-
ton of the cracked-voice ebullitions OF
Thomas Buster Reed and the untrain-
ed roar of the unquenchable Boutelle,
mingled with some other equally dis
Icordant sounds. 1t will be horrible, it is
true, but then it will not be half so bad
as it will sound.
The game that is to bring forth this
curious sound in the end is an old one.
From its inception the Republican
party has been an aggregation OF blum,
pure and simple, and not one OF its
presidential or congressional campaigns
has been carried on without attempt
ing to fool the country by making it be-
llieve that the returns from Maine in
dictated the subsequent victory for their
forces. 1t will be the same this year.
In Maine the elections are always
held "a little earlier than in other parts
of the Union, and the Republican lead
ers then begin to howl that victory is
assured and endeavor to bluff the peo-
pie into believing that they are the sure
winners in order to catch the floating
voters that always wish to be on the
winning side. So there will be nothing
really serious in the yell from the up
per country. Like classical music, Its
Ia DANCED sight better than 1t sounds"
Utah's Election.
In the election that will follow the
holding of the constitutional conven-
T+o(h will he jn1nOrfa Mt he
lcause party leaders are beginning to
make their campaign with the idea of
lcapturing states rather than majority
lin Congress. The Populists, according
Ito all reports that come in from the
country, are far from being dead. The
better element is endeavoring to reor-
ganize the party and place at the head
Headers without the visionary ideas OF
Those who thus far have come into
power 1t is felt that this is time
Iof political unrest, and there is a large
lelement that do not care to align them
lselves with either of the old parties.
Therefore, it is seen that there is
possibility of the next electoral col
ilege not giving majority Ito any candi-
date and that the election will be
Thrown into the House of Representa-
ltives. In electing the president in the
House each state will have vote and
Utah would rank just as we'll in the
list as New York. Therefore her one
Representative is highly important, and
1.-THE Republicans will spare no pains to
Icapture the state.
1t is an open secret that they will
send a great deal of money into Utah
for this and the next campaign. They
are backed by the tariff trusts, who
want their tools in power again, and
believe they can afford to spend a
great deal of the cash that has been
given them under the nefarious pro-
tective system in order to perpetuate
their grip on the threats Of the people.
No amount of activity on the part Of
the Republican machine, and no lavish
ness of money, need surprise the people,
for this is one of the things that will
follow in the wake of the dishonest pro-
lection that has been extended by the
Republican party for so many years.
The Presidents Action.
AS soon as the people begin to con-
slider well the action of President
Cleveland in allowing the tariff bill to
become a law without his signature to
it, they begin to see that this was
Illogical. BY all means the people must
be impressed-so say the leaders-with
the fact that this bill does not repre-
sent the full measure of the reform the
Democrats have set out to give them,
and that the party intends to proceed
along the same lines until every dis
eliminating duty is wiped off the stat
ute books
If the president had signed the bill,
the Republicans would Immediately
have gone to the voters with the mis-
statement that this was a fulfillment
of Democratic doctrine and would have
enlarged on the points in the bill that
no Democrat will endorse-that is,
those parts placed in it because of the
opposition of the conservatives, and
the necessity of securing the votes of
forty-three senators. Now they cannot
say that the Democrats endorse it fur
Their than to hold that it is a good meas
ure so far as it lessons the burdens of
taxation, and the party will make it a
great deal better.
The strongest fight to be made
against any Democrat in the coming
canvass will be that against William
L. Wilson. The hosts of the e. o. D.
: and their trust partners have deter
mined to make an example of him as
a warning to all those who would en-
deavor to make them desist from their
shameless robbery. They want to set
tie it once and for all that no pre-
sumptuous patriot can tamper with
what they consider their vested right
|, to pillage under the forms of law and
remain in public life. Chairman Faux
ner, however, says that a good fight
| VIII NC LiduS ny lne democrats as a
J matter of principle, to prove that this
is still a government in which the peo-
pie are supreme, and he has strong
Ihopes that the gallant leader of the
tariff reform fight will be pulled
; through with a good majority.
|, Only few belated congressman are
now in the city, and these have stopped
for the gayeties Of the Pythian en-
campment. The rest have gone off to
look after their fences, and the dis
tricts that have already been reached
are being whooped up with a vim
Those that are here will be gone by the
end of the week and the national cap
ital will have a rest for a month, while
the country must bear the heretofore
pent-up streams of political oratory.
HIPPoLYTE MORTALITY I'LL.
New York. Sept 1.-The steamer
Saginaw. Captain Rockwell, from
Azuaw. San Domingo, brings no news
of any disturbance in Hayti. President
. Hippolyte is said to be mortally i'll,
and when he dies it is thought a very
uncertain state of affairs will prevail
and a revolution would be among the
possibilities.
