GAINED IN ST. JOHNS.
People There Have Been Convinced
BY Democratic Speakers.

ST. JOHNS, Tooele County, Nov. g.
Our small settlement received its full
share of attention from Democracy
this year, having been honored with
visits by Messrs. Rawlins, Roberts and
Game. Their remarks were very con-
vincing and made some converts to
Democracy.
Messrs. j. C. De La More and a. j.
McCuistion from Tooele also interested
our people upon two separate occa-
slons, demolishing the false arguments
of our Republican orators.
The mass meeting on October 80 was
attended by nearly every man, woman
and child in st. Johns and many from
Glover Creek. The address was read
and then Mr.. J. c. De La More made
appropriate remarks thereon. All pres
ent thoroughly appreciated the gravity
of the crisis before us and determined
to meet the same squarely as sincere
and honorable men. Democracy has
gained in st. John.
Our people are very comfortable for
the Wi1I>er season, having reaped abun-
dant harvests. Our hay crop has ia
ken an upward tendency in price I'M
precedented for years. We are now
selling all we can spare for Sc per ton.
Our inhabitants are feeling much easier
as pertaining to finances. Surely some
cause is removing the hard times.

UNPARALLELED, OUTRAGEOUS LIE,

SO Mr.. Allison Names the Democrat
ic Church and state Position.
TOOELE CITY, Nov. 2.-The Repub-
llcan Big Three minus Allen and
Cannon, accompanied by the RepubH-
can quartette, held the boards ait Too
ele at o'clock p. m. today. Mr.. w.
b. Allison. of Ogden, was asked to
supply the deficiency caused ly the
absence of Clarence and frankie. The
Republicans felt sorrowful when their
| pets failed to meet with them, but
they received a balm in their discon-
sotIate hearts when Mr.. Allison told
them that this everlasting hurrah
kicked up by the Democrats about
church influence in politics was moth
ing but an Unparalleled outrageous
! lie
The Republicans of Tooele all turned
out in their Sunday clothes to give a
warm greeting to their standard bear
ers. Their numbers were grea tly aug
mentad by the arrival of their pogiti-
cal brethren from st. Johns, Clover,
Stockton, Grantsyille, Batesville. Lake
View and Mill precincts and by a
goodly sprnkling of Democrats. In
round numbers the meeting contained
/ about 800 people. The committee had
the hall nicely and appropriately dec
orated and the brass band lent some
enchantment. The quartette was es-
pecially in demand and was encored
at each effort. The Democrats joined
heartily in their applause and all en-
joyed the excellent singing.

day, and at a Republican rally he eX-

cure the bounty on canaigre root.
Governor West was satisfied the bill
ought to become a law but the doc
trine of his party rendered it neces-
sary for him to veto it."
A few Democrats, and only a very
few. in this town, have not the moral
courage to face the present issue, but,
to date, Democracy has gained.

HURRAH FOR FRANK ARMSTRONG.
Mr.. jacques Tells Why Our Welfare
Demands His Election.

Demands His Election.
To the Editor of The Herald:
1t seems TO me that every we'll
WiSher of the city and of the people
should vote for Francis Armstrong for
mayor. When he was mayor, years
ago, taxes were low, and there was a
surplus of cash in the trea sury. But
the last six years it has been differ
ent, 0 how different! How is it now?
where are we at" now? The last
six years the population of the city, in
round figures, has doubled, but not
withstanding all that, the taxes have
been trebled on each taxpayer; the city
is $500 600 or so in debt, and rents Will
scarcely pay taxes. These are the re-
suits OF six years enterprise and inn
provements, so-called. / want no such
results. Who does? No friend of the
city nor of the people. The only sur
plus that is gratifying to the taXpay-
ers is a surplus of income over eXpen-
ditures, and that with moderate taxa
ton. But the only surplus we have
now is a surplus of expenditures over
income, of taxes to pay, of debt and
bonds, and of interest to pay for The
next teWnty years or more. EXtraya-
CANT public expenditure always means
eXtravagant taxation and oppressive
debt. EXtravagant taxation grinds the
poor, oppressed taxpayers into dust
and nothingness. That is what Salt
Lakers have to groan under just now.
[ feel almost like saying d-n such en-
terprise, On such Improvements, d--n
such policy.
L read in the papers things like this:
'FThe 5000 population of Greensburg,
Kan, has dwtndled to 125 Bonded
debt did it. The remnant refuse TO pay
taxes" Who wants that to be the ig-
noble fate of our fair city of Salt Lake? ?
Well, it will be something of that sort
if extravagant expenses, enormous
debt, big bonding and oUtrageously
high taxation continues to be INDUCED
in. That granted, the fgnoble fate OF
reputation is bound to come!
Citizens, wake up! Taxpayers, wake
up! Voters, wake up! Public economy
is an imperative necessity Therefore,
put strict economists into Office. Low
taxes, no debt, and a surplus of means
in the treasury. That is the happy
condition the people want. That is a
state of things of which the state of
Utah might we'll be proud. That is the
triumphant condition in which this city
might have been if the voters had put
the right men into 'office the last half
dozen years. That is true statesman
ship. That is the policy to make the
hearts of the people leap within them
for very joy.
Frank Armstrong is rigid econo-
mist
Vote for Frank Armstrong!
Hurrah for Frank Armstrong!

At kaySyiIle

Both the Democrats and Republicans
held meeting at Kaysville last night.
w. H. Cassidy, of Salt Lake, who
spoke for the Democrats, challenged
the Republican speakers, George A.
Smith and Charles Cottrell of Salt
Lake, to a joint debate on the issues,
but nothing could induce the g. o. p.
men to accept. Mr.. Cassidy talked for
two hours, and was followed by P. L.
Williams, of Salt Lake, who went UP
from Layton and spoke for half an
hour.
Davis county will give larger Demo-
cratic majority than ever today, and
Roberts will run ahead of his ticket
all through the county.
The Democratic city ticket will be
elected at Kaysville, and many Repub-
licans will scratch Murphy for Rolapp
for district judge.

PAYSON, Nov. A stormy night did
not retard the people from coming out
to fill the opera house to hear Hon. j.
L. Rawlins. who was announced to
speak here tonight The Payson Silver
band discoursed fine music until the
speaker was introduced by Chairman J.
E. Belts. amid cheers and applause. He
spoke of the admission of the new state
and the immense land grants given Utah
mora than double her sister surrounding
states when admitted. Utah people to-
morrow must honor the party who
granted the gift of statehood and carry
a Democratic victory at the polls. The
Democratic party have placed the best
talent on their ticket to maintain the
peoples rights. Vote for them, regard
less of any influences.
The Republicans give a free ball hele

EUREKA SENDS GOOD CHEER.
Pike VIII BE Elected and Major
ity For the State Ticket.

EUREKA, Nov. 3.-As the time of
election draws near interest becomes
greater and greater in this place. AL
ready the Democrats are preparing
their headquarters, opposite the bank.
on Main street.
They are going to have a large can
vass stretched across the street, bear
ing this inscription, Democratic Head
quarters" At headquarters there will
be man attending to the wants of
all voters. Not a stone is being left
unturned so everything will be work
ing tremendously on election day.
Thorough organization means great
deal and the Democrats of Eureka are
thoroughly organized. Political circles
have been stirred up recently over the
action of George Q. Cannon. 1t has
been the principal topic of conversa-
ton, no matter where you go. Discus
SionS have been pro and con. Some APP
pear to think that his action has en-
dangered statehood. At least it has
among the people of Eureka. When the
votes here will have been counted, it
will show a strong opposition to state
hood. Judge Powers is being congrat-
ulated by nearly everyone for the
manly course he pursued.
Great interest is being manifested
here over the municipal ticket. Demo-
Gratis have the best ticket in the field,
and unbiased Republicans concede the
election of mayor, three councilmen out
of five, recorder, treasurer. and city
justice. There are candidates galore
for marshal
The town politically is very even as
regards the two national parties. The
Populists will poll quite vote. They
claim 100 votes. but they will fall short
of that figure. There will be a little
over 500 votes cast. There appears to
be no doubt but the Democrats will
capture the plurality upon the state
ticket The municipal ticket is a sure
winner.
The legislative candidates on both
sides are working like tigers. Edward
Pike, Democratic candidate for repre-
sentative, appears to have the bulge
on his opponent. Ed was elected last
election county prosecuting attorney by
a handsome majority over his oppo-
nent Ed is q, favorite among the boys
and they are going to send him to the
legislature.
II. T. McCune, Democratic candidate
for state senator, develops strength
every day. His opponent, James P.
Driscoll, is making a hard fight. Mr.
McCune will get a great many votes
on account of the senatorship. A great
many fear Trumbo and they well know
if they cast their ballots for McCune
they are sure of being well represented
in congress by such fntellects as Raw
Inns and Thatcher.
The Republicans calculate to loot the
last horn here. The buZz-saw orator,
c. c. Goodwin, will tell the people
next Monday night how boldly he
fought for silver at the Denver con-
veption. He will be accompanied by
Colonel Squires. K.

statesmen, on coming to "Baby" Curtin s
picture, were positive that he was the boy
whom they saw putting the paddock on the
front door and who had previously placed
wire across the side door leading into

The proprietor of the Olympic stables

the Whittier Reform School. That morn

scription at the depot, waiting for the
train to Lathrop. AS soon as the boy saw
that he was being watched he walked to a
confectiOnery-store and bought % cents
worth of candy, thinking to put the officer
off the scent. AS soon as he left the store
the officer arrested him and took him to
the prison. A Colts revolver and box of
cartridges were found in his pockets.

SCIENCE And TRUE RELIGION
REV. JENKIN LLOYD JONES SAYS
THAT BOTH STUDIES HAVE
ONE PURPOSE.
How SOCIETY May BE RENOVATED
AND GOOD MORALS RESTORED

Rev. Jonliin Lloyd Jones, pastor of All
Souls Unitarian Church of Chicago and
secretary of the Worlds Parliament of
Religions, occupied the pulpit in the Second
Unitarian Church, corner Twentieth and
Capp streets, last night Mr.. Jones is
well past middle age and is a speaker OF
unusual power and eloquence. The church
was crowded last night to such an extent
that seats had to be placed in the aisles
and around the pulpit platform in order to
accommodate all who came.
The subject of Mr.. Jones discourse was
''The Contributions of Science to Reli-
gion." The speaker treated the subject in a
manner that caused many to take a new
view of the two great studies and in their
minds to reconcile them as two great fac
tors working together for a common end.
He spoke in part as follows:
''With the growth of kno Wedge there is
a growth of reverence. Science enlarges
the realm of morals. Familiarity with
things strengthens the spirit. The realm
we call matter is hOspitable to the realm
we call mind. The study of nature con-

him he had just taken in Walter Dunlap,
the boy who had escaped from Whittier.
Gibson went to have look at him, and at
once Identified him as Curtin. The ''baby"
denied his identity at first but finally gave
in, and Gibson brought him to the city.
Since being here he has been identified by
Franklin's statesmen and others as the boy
who slipped on the paddock.
1t was the intention to keep his arrest
secret till Wilson was captured, but it
leaked out in Stockton, and Gibson ack-
nowledged yesterday that the 'baby" was
here and had been identified as stated.
Curtin is now 10 years of age In 1891 he
was arrested for petty larceny, but the case
was dismissed. The following year he was
arrested for picking pockets, and got three
years in the House of Correction. He was
released on December 10, last year.
Wilson, alias Sargent, is now about q
years of age. He is an ex-convict, having
served term in San Quentin for burglary.
In 1892 he was sent to the House of Correc-
ton for three years for burglary. He es-
capped, but was recaptured. On December
IL last he again made his escape and man
aged to keep out of the way. He is bold
and dangerous criminal.
Wilson was seen in Stockton about the
beginning of last week and left in the di-
rection OF Sacramento. Detective Gibson
thinks he has left the State, but he does
not despair of his capture.
All the diamonds stolen have been re-
| covered with the exception of two rings
and bracelet. 1t was thought that these
missing ones had been among those found
by A. P. Mcnamara, alias big Dutchy,'
who was arrested on suspicion of being i'm
plicated in the robbery and afterward re-
leased from custody, but such was not the
case. The "baby'' may be able to explain
where they are, but as yet he is not inclined
| to talk
