Political Notes.

Caine is on the ascending scale,
Wells on the descending.
". b. Preston will make a strong
campaign to elect John T. Game
Which shall it be? Rawlins and
Thatcher or Ike Trumbo and Frank
Cannon.
Fisher Harris feels greatly compli-
mented because the nomination came
to him by reclamation.
He is now known as Majority of
One Allen. After election he will be
known as Minority of 5000" Allen.
w. II. King has told B. H Roberts
that he may count on support from
himself and the Utah county Demo-
Gratis.
Republicans all over the city think
that Roberts is a perfect whirlwind
4 and that he will sweep Allen off the
/ face Of the earth.
! Manti Sentinel--"We pledge our unfaI-
/ tering support to the public school sys-
! TEN looks well in the Republican plat
! form after their attempt to take the
! means from them 20 pay bOdnties.
/ Utah Patriot-Hon. Henry Shields re-
/ ccIVed the unanimous endorsement CT the
Summit county Democratic convention
! for the Office of district judge The dis
| trict is composed of Summit, Salt Lake
I and Tooele counties.
/ Some of the Republicans for revenue
/ only are beginning to read the signs
/ of the times and to wonder whether
they We're not just a little to precipi-
! tate in going over.
! The Tuscaroras are solid for the
/ ticket as their motto indicated. They
would have been under any circum-
stances, but they are more so because
! of Fisher Harris on it.
Down in the bloody Third heavy
prepare tons are being made to de
/ feat the Republicans this year. The
/ Democla ats are determined to win. THE
people are feeling better.
| The new system of organization,
whereby chairmen of county commit
/ tees are made members of the state
committee insures absolute harmony
/ in the campaign to be made by the
/ Democrats.
If there was any doubt of Demo-
cratic victory in Salt Lake city ii
may now be removed. r. H. McKaig
has moved in from Farmers ward
with an express intention of helping
! the Republican ticket.
Alanti Sentinel--The fact that the Re
pubiicans are hunting good men to nut
on their ticket this year shows that the
yellow dog campaign has not been as
! successful as at first believed. The DEM
| ocrats made things 100 warm to be com
! Portable last year.
There are no gaping wounds to be
! healed among the Democrats. There
are no soreheads. Not one of the gen.
/ tlemen who attended the Ogden con-
vention has taken voyage up Salt
river. There was no occasion for it.
Eastern Utah Advocate-'rhere seems to
| be a general feeling among Republicans
! that their state ticket is exceedingly
| breed confidence in the wisdom of the
delegates and at best the nomination of
! Heber NJ. Wells was but a compromise
( to catch the Mormon vote.
On the corner of Eighth East and
First South the Democrats have built
a large open air platform that will
hold 500 spectators Over it is hung
an incandescent light. There is room
in the lot for about 1000 more persons
TO stand up. 1t is designed by the First
precinct Democrats to hold meetings
/ there every week.
Reports from all over the county
and from various counties in the terri
tory are to the effect that the people
are wondering why conditions are i'm
proving under Democratic legislation.
Many Republicans are ready to be con-
verted. They are attending Demo-
cratic meetings and are ready to be
impressed with the proof. Nothing bet
Ter is wanted by the Democrats.
The Democrats declare that the free
coinage of silver is the paramount is
sue. The plank adopted by the con-
vention at Ogden is the strongest dec
I laratfon ever written. Part of it is a
reproduction of a resolution prepared
by Bryan of Nebraska, Bland of Mis-
souri, and other silver leaders of the
house of representatives and recon-
mended for adoption in all silver
states 1t has been adopted in Ne
braska by the Democrats.
There is now a great deal of inter-
/ est in the judicial convention of the
Republicans at Park City next week
The candidates who will so before it
are Barlow Ferguson. Wiley L. Brown,
j. NJ. Bowman, j. r. Bowie, c. w.
1 Burris. w. 1. Snyder, J. H Harris,
R. r. Shepard, George F. Goodwin, c..
F. Loofbourow. Z. D. r. Thompson,
NJ. l.. Richie, c. w. Morse, Grant II.
Smith. D. n. Straup, Harmed Pratt
and John A. Street. A merry fight is
expected
Eastern Utah Advocate-For the first
time in the history of the Democracy of
Carbon county a united front IS presented
to the political foe. The factionaI feel
/ ing, brief but bitter has passed into OBJ
livion. and from the chaos of spleen
! rended craftsmanship has arisen the United
| Democracy which WILL with the mighty
! broom Of Jeffersonian principles sweep
from Utah's newest county the last yes
! tige of Republican dictation, mal-admnis-
tration and slave driving methods. Po-
litical necessity and the strength of the
Republican party IN his county demanded
! Democratic harmony. There appeared 10
the regular organiza ton but one way by
/ ulich this might be accomplished. The
county convention was called to meet on
neutral ground and there in committee
and on the floor was the battle fought
tor and the vanGuished shook hands
| across the grave of the bad, bad Ratchet
| and pledged themselves to support with
! heart and hand our party's candidates
John Hood and VIM. K. Ingle.
