large part of the Republican voters in
Park City have been very sore over the
fact that last year, after solemn pledges
had been given by the candidates to
| the voters, that recent converts should
not be preferred in filing appointive Of
t1ces. Said candidates, upon election.
held the most remarkable session in
the history of Park City. This session
of a full Republican council for the
appointment of officers lasted all night
and into the next day. The ring fac
ton won at last and smashed all the
pledges, so fondly trusted. The Strike
faction was very sore and vowed a row.
The hurt was deep and did not heal
but ranked and the cry is for ven
geance.
On the 26th inst. seven caucuses were
held by the Republicans in this pre-
cinct, three in town and four at the
mines. The ring gang had managed
everything very nicely up to this date.
all seemed smooth and serene, but alas;
for plans well cut and dried, the
strikers" were everywhere in force
In the First ward the strikers took
possession and showed the ring gang
entirely under and got their chairman
/ in. Some fourteen names were rapidly
placed before the meeting from which
five delegates were to be selected for
the county convention. In the general
scramble and excitement the strikers
without any plans, only got mixed
result, but in the main downed the
ring in noisy triumph and boosted OF
| revenge.
The Second ward was another smash
on the ring. Some of the long time
bosses could scarcely talk, their excite
ment and Indignation was so great In
the tumult they offended and forever
lost the only Democratic convert in the
room. He got out and returned to the
Democratic fold, completely cured OF
his brief hypnotism and a stronger
Democrat than he had ever been before
in his life, swearing that one such ex-
perience was plenty.
The Third ward caucus opened up.
and the strikers" got one delegate
elected, when the ring talent secured
a recess; got out and hustled and came
back and bagged the balance Of the
delegate game.
At the mines the ring faction had
better luck. Both factions will get into
the county convention with force
enough to revive the memory Of the tale
of the Kilkenny cats.
The trouble is too hot to keep
within the party, and many
of the strikers boast ooh!
show the gang a trick or two" While
the one-time bosses and party owners
are so mad they are taking to drink
in way that threatens to consume the
campaign supply, while they swear by
the beard of the prophet that the riff
raft who pay no taxes shall not lay
the corner stone of the great Republic
an state of Utah, mol not If we find
tickets with Democrats in them"
This hotbed of delegate strife is be-
sieged by dozens of candidates hungry
for promises. Each faction has slate,
and lively war is expected.
