The Republican Rally.

The Republican candidates could carry
away with them very comfortably all
the hope and inspiration they received
here last Tuesday afternoon. Spanish
Fork Republicans, thanks to the manip.
nlations of John G. Graham, as party
are very nearly non est this fall. The
candidates felt the lack Of the customary
Spanish Fork enthusiasm and 1t seemed
to dampen their ardor somewhat.
A Democratic correspondent to the
Salt Lake Herald sends the following
account of the affair to that sheet, and
| 1t is submitted for what 1t - worth:

campaign speakers and singers hold
Yesterday. H. NJ. Wells, James Chip

C. Z. Allen were the speakers. The first
three gentlemen named spoke, and the
singers rendered five selections all in

Grover Cleveland had vetoei more bills

presidents put together; said the Demo-
cratic platform was an insult to the
people; its tendency was to stir up the
old party strife in Utah; referred to the
old chestnut story OF ballot box stuffing
In Sanpete; said that protection and tbt
restoration of silver ran Ogether; so oul
only hope WAS in his party.
"Mr. Allen also scored at Presiden
Cleveland for his financial policy; tn
burden of bending would rest upon Oul
shoulders aud those of our children

port of his wet tests.

One OF the most conspicuous figures in the
Etageland of America to-day IS John w.
Norton. Born in the Seventh ward of New
York city forty-six years ago. the friends
of his youth were Thomas w. Keene and
Frank Chanfrau. We find Keene star at
the age OF % and Norton in the flower of
early manhood, the leading man for Edwin
Booth at the famous Winter Garden Thea
ter He was starred with Lawrence Bar
rett early in the 70s, and alternated the
leading roles with Charles Thorne at the
Variety theater in New Orleans. Early in
the Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton
met our Mary Anderson, then fair young
girl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and, as everybody
knows, led her to fame. MIR. Norton is now
the proprietor of the Grand Opera House in
St. Louis, the Du QueSne Theater, Pitts
burg, and one of the stockholders in the
American Extravaganza Company
One afternoon early in June he hobbled
into his New York office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager. George
McManus, who had also been a rheumatic
sufferer for two years. Norton was sur

Winfield special: Reports from the
different parts of the county indicate
that the recent blizzard has worked i'm
mense damage to growing wheat and
left it in a precarious condition. The
violent winds removed all the loose dirt
and piled all the snow IN drifts. In adj
dition to this, the cold was so severe as
to freeze the ground very hard. The
ground has been exceedingly dry, and
the falling snow was depended on to
moisten the earth and save the growing
crops. Farmers to the west as far as
the Arkansas river say that unless warm
weather sets IN, and rains commence,
the prospects of wheat crop will be
very slim.
