The Teller Interview.

the silver question.
Now if the Tribune wanted to he
TAR in the matter, why did the editor
not enclose the whole interview, and on
that make good its claim that the in
terVleW was a fake, etc.? On that one
particular point the Herald did not
pretend to give the senator's language
and his own statement is evidence
that he did not care to attack the pa

Gid say the Tribune had seldom been
consistently right on any proposition
The editor contents himself with say

interview was just as false" but ex-
cuses himself from putting it to the
test on extremely flimsy grounds. He
is invited to write again and ascer-
tain whether or not his own statement
as to that isn't absolutely false, and
apprise the public of the result.
The Herald neither knows nor cares

not publish the entire letter so the
public can judge its full import, also
the letter sent to Teller, which brought
forth a reply apparently in contradic-

Star did not charge the Tribune, but
c. c. Goodwin with being inconsistent
on the silver question, and quoted
Senator Teller as referring to the
Minneapolis record of the judge. The

Within ten days or thereabouts, this
paper will be able to demonstrate tc

Arthur Brown appeared to be in a
very good humor yesterday.
The registrars report that the wo-
men are taking great interest in pol
tiles now and are registering by the
hundred.
1.-THE Coming Campaign will be dis
cussed by the workingmen at the cor
ner of Third South and West Temple
streets tonight.
The Willard county Republican con-
vention instructed it's delegates for
Crane. It is said that many other coun-
ties will do the same.
If the Tribune succeeds in disposing
of Trumbo and Crane as completely as
it has read itself out of the Republican
party the service will be gratefully re-
membered by the people.
The Tribune, having discovered it's
inability to make slate for the Re
publicans, is now industriously en-
gagged in manufacturing them for the
Democracy. But the Democracy does
MT deal in states. The people are able
to attend to those matters.
The Tribune clique, Notwithstanding
their big bluff in claiming a victory,
know perfectly well that they met with
a Waterloo on Monday and from this
time on will work the dark horse
racket for all it is worth. Thomas will
be put forward to prevent Crane from
going in with a whoop and an attempt
will then he made to stampede the ag-
gregation to dark horse. The Re
pubMcans seem to have monopolized
the whole fight, and with perfect har-
mony in the Democratic ranks, victory
seems certain.
The regulation weekly meeting of the
Worl0ngmen's Political Reform club
was held last evening, with r. G. Slea-
ter in the chair and L. Cracroft secre-
tary. F'ifty-five names were added to
the membership roll. Interesting adj
dresses were made by Messrs. .SIeater.
Cracroft, Parsons and Coombs, and j.
f. Crowley urged upon all the import-
ance of registering at once and seeing
that the women do the same Meet
ings will hereafter be held each Tues
day at pm.
