IN HARMONIOUS REPUBLICANS.

If the Standard likes anybody In the
republican party save only Charley
Crane, it has no where appeared as
yet. If anybody else loves Charley up
to this date. he has kept his mouth
very closely sealed. Charley loves one
republican ardently and the name OF
that patriot is Charles Crane of Kan
osh. Now Charles is in position
where he can make that love for the
Kanosh patriot quite effective for the
nomination, and thus it happens that
every other patriot, with the Tribune
at their head, is moving heaYen aud
earth to unseat Mr.. Crane from the
position. They'll accomplish it if 1t
is within the reach of human republi-
canism to do it. Of course Governor
Thomas shares this all absorbing pas
sion for Crane, but yet ii Patriot
Thomas has one bright dream of the
future it is to be able at no distant day
in the future to have the exquisite
pleasure of dancing Jig upon the new
made grave of the Kanosh chieftain.
The Tribune and Thomas should be
very formidable team in anv enterprise
within the republican party, and we
await the denouement In this case
with no little interest. Bill Glasmann
and Charley Crane, Pat Lannan and A.
L. Thomas. That will make fight
which surpasses in interest any that
those other republican patriots Jim
Corbett and Fitzsimmons can put up
in Dallas or elsewhere.
Southern republicans in the region
about Beaver are beginning a mild
wRrefare on Judge Bartch. This is
valuable only as it shows the warning
humor the patriots have put them
selves into in their wild scramble for
Office this fall.
In Weber if there is any two patri-
OTIS agreed upon one man for either
Office to be filed under the state au-
tholity nobody has ever yet heard of it
and Bill Glasmann has not as yet come
out squarelY in his new role of peace
maker and may al last throw down the
Ito him) thsnkless task at any moment.
In Utah county the harmony is
equally narrowing. John E. Booth
has succeeded in having himself nomi-
mated in the good old aLte convention
style for about forty of the leadirS
positions in the gift of the people.
This is agonizing because there are
few republicans who have the temeIity
to lock horns with Booth. There
would be some show for faint shade
of harmony if only Booth would settle
dswn upon the place he really wants
and stick. But the wiley Booth has
no such intention, he is reaching out
for all there is in sight and is unwill-
ing to throw over single chance. This
is conducive to a high grade Of har-
mony and it will require all the skill of
the bosses, the machine, and the rank
and file to keep this bit of harmony
from playing the very devil right here
at home.
The fact is the spoilsmen are hope
lessly together by the ears and forty
state conventions will never be able to
lick the unkempt cubs into order. Un-
less this is done, and that right speed
lily, the &. o. p., will have no more
chance of winning this fall than cat |
is said to have in hades without claws. |
Then, too, to do the republicans simple |
Justice, they are all at Sir Isaac Trumbo |
from the coast. They talk glibly about
the assurance Of the "interloper' in
coming in here on the very heels of Rd-
mission with the openly avowed pur-
pose of Juggling off one at least Of the
very best places to be disposed of. The
infelicity and inharmoniousnesS that
this has produced is immeasurabie.
There are more sore hearts over this
matter in Salt Lake city than any out.
slider would be willing to believe. And
yet the beautiful team, the beautiful
driver, with the beautiful carriage
continues to fash about the streets, and
high teas and recherche dinners and
original entertainments follow each
other with amazing regularity, and all
this is not harmonious. In fact it is
quite the contrary.
