the spectacle. Last night the Demo-
Gratis of the entire territory arose and
started the tidal wave which VIII make
a clean sweep of the territory for a
separation Of church and state in the

= Salt lake did its share. Notwirh-
standing the very short notice and the
great scarcity of Chinese lanterns the

still great good feeling in the party.
AL over the city loyal Democrats show

to the party by decorations and lights
in windows.
From the residence of George Y. Wal
lace in Darlington, with its blaze of
light, 10 the far southern and western
limits Of the city demonstrations were
found. Every precinct contributed to
the lighting. Houses were found on
every hand decorated more or less with
Chinese lanterns. flags bunting and
other evidences of good feeling, or with
lights shining in the windows Every
where pretty things were seen.
a Republican houses were wrapped in
Enlpenetrabl bic darkness. Richard Mack

found gloom and faced evidence of
Democratic cheer. Charley Crane S
house looked deserted. Heber NJ. Wells
house looked forsaken. Colonel Trum-

Judge Goodwin. John T. Dooly and
other senatorial aspirantS were careful
to hide their lights under bushels OF
anything else that came handy. G. E,

But these are mere instances. Repdbli-
S&Sns seemed solicitOuS lest any ray OF

closely drawn by them. They retired
to the rear portion Of their houses.

between Republican and Democratic

electric lights, lamps, candles Chinese
lanterns and other things until it was
a blaze Of light, showing to the people
Of the surrounding region. Around it
were other houses decorated more or
less, but all giving cheer. In suburban
lesidences, il farm houses, in cottages,

The First precinct made a good show

southern and eastern parts, where the
Democrats are found in profusion

beautiful effects were to be found here
The Annex and Tenth ward furnished
severe houses that compared we'll with
any in the city.
The Second precinct was lighted
clear over Jordan, where the "over- the
river Democrats testified to sheir 10y

houses lighted with lanterns, candles

arable darkness. and around il were
the residences Of other Republicans

houses were found decorated with Chi
