The cut in the price of hot tomales
from 10 to SC. followed closely upon the
passage OF the Wilson bill, and was
accelerated by a rumor that the Next
can government proposed to put in a
pneumatic tube to this city, whereby
the succulent meats covered by the
juicy corn husk could be laid down at
&C. apiece Our tomato merchants met
the cut however, and thus avoided the
crushing out of a most important in
FAINT industry.
1t was in a Main street restaurant
early the other morning that one of the
customers who had been shaking hands
with John Barleycorn grew rather
boisterous.
Put him outr' yelled vnan in the
rear.
Off went the coat and hat of the
hilarious gentleman; up went his
sleeves, and out came the declaration:
Put me Chic) out. Eth? (hic) Come

No one moved. He appeared to mean
business.

Do you know what George M. Can
non would say to any man who asked
him to back up with money that an
nouncement of his aboun this county
going so overwhelmingly Republican?
He would straighten himself up and
austerely reply, Il am noe a betting

Bill Nelson, managing editor of the
Tribune, chairman of the Salt Lake
county delegation to Provo! A new
county committee elected and the old
one politely shelved! Who says the
Pioneer Republicans are lin it, in any
sense. except that of being in the
soup?"
The truth is that the happy time has
arrived when Divisionist Republicans
and Liberal Republicans, like the lion
and the lamb, shall lie down together.
but any one who has half an eye can
see that it is accomplished by the Divi-
'sionist lamb lying on the inside of the
icapacipus stomach of the Liberal lion,
whicN has completely engulfed, alb
sorbed and swallowed it up.

the hordes of office seekers for county
positions on the g. o. p. ticket.
The Republican who thinks the Dem
locrats of the territory are dead or
sleeping is liable to receive a galvanic
shock on the morning after election
day. The Democracy has not made
much noise as yet, but it has
been lying with one eye
open, taking in every movement of
the enemy. The best sort of medicine
for your apathetic Democrat is to feed
him on newspaper accounts of the
preparations Of the Republicans: let
him but realize that the other side are
hard at work. and he rouses himself
with an angry snort, starts in like a
giant refreshed, and never rests till he
has brought home his enemys scalp or
yielded up his own.
Frank ]. Cannon was very much in
evidence. in, around. about, upon.
alongside, and lying appertaining
thereto-the person of his relative of
the county committee all day Friday.
Mr.. Cannon looks a little older than
his picture on the famous Nuggets of
Truth pamphlet, but he will be very
much older still before that stupendous
blunder is repeated. Report says that
/ the question engaging the attention Of
Mr. Cannon was as TO who should
make the speech nominating him in
Provo, and that he is undecided wheth-
er to accept the offer of Wiley Brown,
! Bill Glassman or key Woolf
! 1t looks very much like it would be
the same old fight over again-Rawlins
versus Cannon; and it will be the same
old result-only much more so.
All this talk about the Republican
party being hard up sounds fshy.
What's the matter with asking
.'colonel' Trumbo to pawn his halo?
1t strikes me he might raise" more
on it now than he will in the sweet
subsequently.

name of a certain gentleman. Now,

a man as there is in town. Yes, sir,

never be afraid of him beating you,
for he is honest to the backbone When
you buy his vote, you may be sure he
will do as he promises. If he happens
