The Democratic convention will be
hummer.
From indications the Democrats may
expect that next Tuesdays gathering
win be the most momentous in the
history of the territory The party
by its actions, will give living DEM
onstration Of the seriousness of the
present crisis and Will refute all at
tempts to belittle the great issue that
is now confronting the people.
From every county comes word such
as has never before been received be-
fore convention. Promises made now
would indicate that several bands ana
drum corDs from the various counties,
heading enthusiastic delegations, will
be on the scene and viii make Salt
Lake see what an issue has been
raised for the special consideration Of
the people
The latest advices are received from
the Democrats of Nephi, who propose
to come UP with their full delegation
and a band al the head of it. Such
thing has never before been heard
from Nephi. as the Democrats there

before this content to let the nearer
counties furnish the musical enthusl-
asln. However. they now want to
show that they are deadly in earnest.
It is the settled policy Of the Trib-
une to helittle the issue in the hope OF
being able TO make the convention a
failure and an evidence that the DEM
Ocratic party itself doesn't care for
the principle on which the leaders are
now fighting Orders have been given
out for this line to be followed, and
locally and editorially, an attempt is
being made to help the Republicans by
guiding the Democrats. But with It's
own party suspicious of its motives
disgruntled with its utterances and
trimming politician who hopes by his
course to he lifted into office. it is not
likely that the Democrats will pay any
heed to it.
The Tribune policy. of course, is the
policy of the Republican party, for
George II. Cannon is running the cam

the whole policy of the machine and

What They Hear.
Weber county officials say that they
will send down delegation that will
give an evidence of their thorough IN
tention TO win this fight They will
probably have the great brass hand
and perhaps drum corps. The Young

turn out heavy force for the occa-

Evans Sanpete Democrats have al

port. Cache county Democrats, who
have been making the fight along these
lines for the last three years, will
not be backward. They claim the

1t may be given as absolute assur-
snce that the Democratic ticket Will
not be taken from the field When
the issue was first brought up its grav-
ity appeared so great and the party
seemed 50 demoralized that it was
thought there was no other remedy.
1t was believed that the cup was to be
dashed from the lips of Democracy
and that nothing could stop the move

leaders was lie the touch of A torch

burst their bonds. In forty-eight hours
proof came that the marty was abso-
iutely united, unterrifed and deter

for 1t was seen that the party would
win. and the same feeling Of buoyart
hope again took possession of the
leaders.
The best indication of how large the
convention will be was given yester.
day. when Judge Powers began to be
fearful that there would be a ire
mendous lam at the theatre and Chat
the crowd could not be kept within
bounds. In order, therefore. to give
visitors from outside counties a chance
to go in the house it was determined
to resort to the expedient of Issuing
tickets of admission. This will be the
first time in the history of the two
parties here that such an expedient
has been deemed necessary. IT would
