vi dCcOduI OI the previous SllSdSS-
ment of the Ogden Opera house, on
next Monday evening, j. IL. Rawlins
will open the campaign at Park City.
Other speakers will accompany him
and they will be given a rousing re
ception in the mining camp. A change
will also be made in the schedule sof
Messrs. Game and Roberts so that they
will be able to hold a meeting in Hy-
rum.
Judicial Ticket Doomed.
Wilson 1. Snyder, Barlow Ferguson
and e. D. r. Thompson have almost
ceased TO hope for victory. All over
town they have met with the utmost
GOODNESS. All the support they have
been able to CLEAN has been from those
Republicans who would support their
party ticket no matter who might be
put on it, and some personal friends
who would support them no matter
how good were the men put up against
them. Thousands of Republicans have
declared that they will vote for the
nominees of the Democratic party. All
over the district, in Salt Lake city and
county, in Tooele and Summit, the feel
ing against them is high. Bets have
been offered without takers that Sny-
der will not carry even his own county.
Men in position to know say that not
more than half of the delegates from
Summit who voted in the convention
for nomination will! cast ballots for him
on election day. There is a strong feel
ing against Silver King dictation and
the ticket is recognized as a Silver
King ticket, put up by Kearns and
Keith.
Perhaps the worst thing that can be
used against the judicial ticket is the
attitude OF the Tribune. That Enarvel-
Gus paper, with all its pretensions of
high patriotism and independence, is
generally ready to swallow anything
labeled Republican. 1t swallowed the
Denver Straddle on silver. 1t called
the action of the Cleveland convention
a great victory. It stands ready to fol-
low the Republican party into the gold
camp. 1t defended John Henry Smith
and the Republican majority lin the
constitutional convention. To cap the
climax it has defended Geddes and
Roberts, the mileage and salary grab
bers, the eXtravagant, incompetent,
narrow county selectmen. 1t has even
gone so far as to call them patriotic,
honest and capable.
But the Republican judicial ticket
went just little too far. With all it's
predictions the Republican flute could
not swallow that. Truly the climax
of weakness was then reached.
The Democratic judicial ticket will
go in with a heavy majority. Judge
Powers is not worrying about that 1t
looks as though the three candidates
will make a clean sweep and have up
ward of 1000 votes to spare. Never
was public sentiment so much against
ticket as it is against that Of the
Republicans. The only nope of the IN
fortunate nominee is that before cleo
ton time sentiment may so settle down
that everybody will vote the straight
ticket. Vain hope!
The Wheel in Politics.
The Social Wheel club has sent out
copies of the following circular letter:
Salt Lake City. Utah, Sept r. 1896.
Dear Sir:-The following resolution was
passed at our meeting held Sept 10. and
it is earnestly requested that we put
forth our best efforts in accommodating
the nomination and election of men who
are friendly to the interests of cyclists
and upon whom we can safely count for
proper support in our council chamber.
Failure now, on the part of wheelmen
to show their strength in the primaries
and at the polls means defeat for any
enterprise which the wheelmen might in
the future advocate.
Resolved. That it be the sense of this
meeting that the members of the Social
Wheel club take an active part in local
politics this fall; that all members use
their utmost efforts to encourage the
nomination and election of proper men
for the city council and for a suitable
protect the interests of wheelmen: that
so far as we can consistently do So we
will vote first, regardless of political
affiliations for those candidates for office
who pledge themselves for the interests
of wheelmen and who will remedy the
sprinkling nuisance and urge improve
ment of streets; also, we request all
other wheelmen and friends of wheel
men to join in this movement

Democratic Headquarters Open.
Democratic headquarters will be in
formally opened today for business
purposes. All the partitions were COM
pleted yesterday and only the finishing
work remains to be done. A nrge
force of carpenters was busily en-
ployed all day and the cheerful sound
of the hammer and saw made the
transaction of business rather difficult
When they finished in the evening,
however, the committee rooms were
ready for occupancy. The electricians
put in five large arc lights and pre-
pared to put in such incandescent
lights as will be needed by the work
ers in the committee rooms. Major
Dave Levy was at work with the bunt-
ing and decorations. John Montgom-
cry. who has the cigar and tobacco
privileges, had moved his show cases
and pictures into the northwest corner
of the large rotunda.
Today the various committees will
take possession of their quarters. The
ladies, who will have the front room in
the southeast corner, will Immediately
make their quarters the most tasteful
in the whole place. They will carpet
the floor and hang pictures on the
walls. When they have finished khe
room will probably be such a cozy lit
tie nest as will make politics a great
pleasure
Judge Powers, Secretary Piper, /. L.
Welsh and 10 Cohen, with the COM
mittee's stenographer will take pos
session of the state committee rooms
and Chairman Dunbar and Secretary
Jennings of the county committee will
move into theirs. Preparations for the
formal reception, to be given on Octo-
Der 2, just before conference, will also
be carried on.
Many Democrats and Republicans
