POLITICAL.

Things are beginning to get warm il
the Republican camp in this part o
Utah, and it is said the combine real
( ize that something must be done t,
keep the rank and file of the party il
line. Inactivity breeds discomfort, anc
while the managers have plenty to d,
to keep them busy the privates hav,
nothing to do, and there is troubl,
brewing.
1t is most too early to open the cam
paign, but it is understood that a 10
of neighborhood conferences have beei
planned, which will serve the purpose
it is thought. Some question over tn,
division of the spoils has arisen amons
the managers of the confederacy
whether by agreement or common con
sent is not known. but Weber seems t
have been accorded the nomination OF
a supreme justice and the secretary OF
state, but now comes Cache county
and the question is asked, what is
Cache to have?
While Cache is in the combine, she
is considered a weak sister by the Re
publicanS, and there IS not been
much of an inclination to accord that
neck of the woods anything on the
state ticket, and in this connection Box
Elder comes in, and the Republicans
there say that they ought to be consid-
cred because they did elect two dele
gates to the constitutional convention.
a1Zcl Cache went solid against the e. o. D.
Now, both counties can't be considered
in connection with the state ticket.
hence there is trouble, not very serious
yet, yet it may grow.
n
from the country north of Weber, but
the north fellows have suggested that
Weber is not such a rip-roaring Re
publican county, judging from the last
election returns, and it might be as
well to cut Weber down to one repre-
sentative on the state ticket and give
Cache and Box Elder each a place
This latter proposition does not suit
the Weber men a little bit, and thew
propose to stand pat and claim the
two places.
While the Republicans are discussing
who shall be who on the state ticket
the Democrats are discussing the mat
ter OF party organization. There is a
general feeling among Democrats that
the hrst and most essential thing to do
is to get organized, not like the Repub-
hcans are organizing, but to get the
voters interested, because thew will
control the nominations, and if thew
get together and discuss the situation
now, when the time comes to choose
sta sdard bearers they will choose
wisely.
Organization of the voters first. and
then the selection of candidates will
be the TF-tto of the Democracy of
Weber, at least, and it is sure to win
1t was the plan of the campaign last
fall, and what was good sense then
should prevail now
When the time for nominating state
officers rolls around the Democrats of
Weber will be on hand, and in recoe
milton of their fighting ability they ex-
pect their share, but no more, and they
will be satisfied. A great deal depends
on Weber county in the legislative
eIectlon, because the chances for the
Republicans to elect in Salt Lake are
to say the least, very favorable, and to
advance them well on towards a ma
jority they want the six votes from
this county, which they are determined
to have if possible. The Democrats of
Weber realize the task they have il,
hand, and they will not be found want
ing at the critical moment.
