| IJoa, Wayne County, Oct. Ia. =
This has been Democratic week" In
Wayne county. Good crops, good wea-
Their and good politics, have all put our
people IN a. most pleasant frame OF
mind, and the interest manifested in
the questions of the day is the best in
| dication of the growth of the Demo-
cratic spirit. During the week our
county has been visited by representa-
| tives of both political parties. First
came one D. J.. Frew, late ex-minister,
attorney-at-law, and just now filling a
special engagement for Chairman
Crane, and occupied in the business of
covering so many miles in so many
days, for so many dollars (out of the
S. 600 which Charley got from the ma
tional Republican committee). and of
telling just as fG)ew facts as possible
as to the attitude of the two parties
in Utah, and yet earn his salary.
IN FREMONT.
On Thursday, the 18th inst, Hon.
William H. Seegmiller, accompanied by
Hon. J. r. Letcher, swung. over into
the valley of the Fremont, and in the
place upon political issues. They were
greeted with crowded house, notwith-
standing the notice was short and
many were away winding UP the har-
vest. At the close of the meeting a
Democratic society was organized with
staunch Democrats at the helm. w.
l. Callahan was made president; I. ].
Tanner and H. E. Maxfield, vice-presi
dents; N E. Eckland, secretary, and P.
c. Turnbold, treasurer.
BY TEASDALE.
Although reports had been blown
over the valley that there were no
Democrats at Teasdale," the speakers
headed directly for that point, and ON
the afternoon of the 18th were favored
by a schoolhouse full of interested lis
teners. Here they found such faith
full Democrats as Charles Snow, T. M.
Pritchett, John Forsyth, Joseph Cook
and the pioneer settler r. n. Adams,
holding their own in the fight of open
ing a new country, as well as in the
struggle to maintain and advance DEM
ocratic doctrines.
For nearly three hours the hills and
reefs about the town were made to
echo to the sentiments of the party of
the people, and the least wind
chased away the fables and eX-
aggerations scattered there by the Cy-
clopean gestures of the violent Repub-
lican orator.
WITH THURBER.
AS the moon was rising into full view
over the ancient village of Thurber,
the champions of Democracy were well
coined to the stronghold of the faithful |
and greeted by a crowded house. On |
the evening of the 12th the largest |
political gathering ever held in Thurber
turned out. This is the home of that |
active and all-round thor |

Of the Wayne county Democratic CEN
trail committee Backed up by M. w.
Mansfield and an able corps of assist
ants, the machinery of the party or
saniation has been well set, so as to
insure a good thrashing for the Repub-
lean party 1T the approaching election.
It was in this town, few evenings
previous, that the expositor of Repub-
lean views struck a snag that sent Ii
lin limping out of the county. In the Il
course of his remarks, he made certain
statements regarding the .'hard times II
# 1887" and challenged any one to II
lsprove them. Very promptly, but
most emphatically came the refutation II
rom the bright young Democrat who

onvenient history soon f1oored the Tan
ocrat' of Republicanism and winged
lin so badly that he was glad to 90
imping out of the county.
AT LOA.
On Saturday night the good people of
he county seat greeted the Democratic
peakerS with an overlooking house.
1ong before the hour set every seat
