SALT LAKE, Jan. 4.--To.day is election
day, called by Governor West to fll the va.
cAncy of Clarence Hall in the Legislature.
Both candidates, Hall, Democratic and
Farian, Republican are sterling men and the
result is at present doubtful. The campaign
though short one. has been vigorous one
from the start the recent debate 10 the
theatsr causing intense interest.
One of the strongest features of the pre-.
sent campaign is to ses such men a. Powers.

has proved himself to be perfect hornet in
the Republican bonnet. Varian and Hall
have already measured swords and their
supporters have followed their example.
Aspscia from Washington last evening
says: 1T is understood that the appoint.
ment of Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court Of Utah will be made within few
days. Col. Sam Merritt ia said to stand for
the position. A Receiver of Public Monies
for Salt Lake will also be appointed at once
and while there are many candidates, it is
believed Frank Harris stands the best
chance Of receiving the appointment. Cabi.
net officials say they want to close up these
Utah appointments at the earliest posi- BILE
moment. Some interest is felt here 10 sFF
local election in Salt Lake to fill the legsla
ture vacancy. 1t is confdentially expected
that in view Of early Statehood for Utah, no
mistake will be made. The Democrats have
been almost unanimous in both branches of
Congress for the admission bill and leading
DEMOCRATS in the Senate will do their ut.
most to secure the passage of the Utah
Statehood measure. Delegate Rawlins has
had several conferences with the Secretary
OF the Interior with reference to opening the
Uintah and Uncompahgre reservations and
Secretary Smith assures him he will make
favorable recommendations to Congress as
soon as practicable.
Another special from the National Capitol
dated last evening says concerning State
hood for Utah: "The Post to-day has an
editorial answering the London Standard
about the danger of admitting Utah, be.
cause that English organ fears polygamy
would be reinstated the moment the Terri.
tory becomes State. The Post ridiculss
the Standard's article and fears its editor
has been reading some of the silly speeches
made by men Of Moses metal calibre sud
failed to present the realty and truth FROM
the spseches Of delegate Rawlins. The Post
editorial ably champions Utah's cause and
shows that paper to be earnestly in favor Of
the early admission OF Utah.
