The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-08


The san Francisco Examiner has APP
parently opened up on the Utah cam
paign. = short time ago it sent a man
here to look into the situation and he
spent a great deal of his time looking
into the Trumbo side of it. The idea
was spread abroad by the Trumbo
crowd that the next move on the pro-
gramme would be the opening up of
warfare by the Examiner. In the is
su6 Of Tuesday morning appears the
following article, which is written in
such a manner as to lead one to be-
leve that it is merely Introductory
and simply paves the way for some-
thing stronger:
Colonel Isaac Trumbo, well known in
California, where he has spent most OF his
time during The last few years. Is en-
gagged in n not political fight IN Titan
just now-One of The hottest eTer fought
in that territory of pitched battles. Inc
fight now on has 10 20 with q seat in
the United States Senate, for which place
the colonel Is The leading republican can
didate.
Senatorial Struggle.
Last year an act was passed by Con-
gress and approved 10y the President b.
whose terms Utah was permitted TO adopt
q constitution and he admitted into the
Union. Already the people of the terri
tory have drafted Il constitution. Next
November they will vote on the ques-
titn OF ra1fYing OF rejecting 1t ana al the
safsle time, in accordance with the terms
of the Grabbing act they will vote for
the state officers mentioned i'll the FRO

struggle has apparently taken preced-
ence of everything else, ana one nearS
more about It IN Utah now than about
all the other political questions COM
The Republicans there seem 10 take i
ssr granted that they will badly distance

Wak is on basis OF dividing all me OIL

polled 21.343 votes as against 19.52S for
the Democrats. and they count on sub

sprung discussion: for IN the feeling that

Utah have not steered clear of it
Colonel Trumbo entered the fight, for

hard at work Cor months His iirsr ef-
forts were quiet, but now the nght is on
the open. and every battery IS heichlnG.
The growth of his boom has led to the
making of a very bitter personal attack
upon him by the Salt Lake Tribune. the
leading Republican newspaper of the ter
titory. The editor Of the Tribune, judge
u {. Goodwin. IS himself q candldate
f6E the Senatorship-a fact which Trum-
hos followers declare is the rea reason
for the Tribune's anu-rrumbo tlgnt.
Goodyvin's Campaign.
Judge Goodwin opened fire on the colonel
very recently in "a long leader headed

and must make their choice.
That Cleveland Speech.
One of the amusing features of the row
played by Colonel Trumbo in the silver
convention at Cleveland. The CLEVELAND
World publishes an elaborate report OF
the work of the convention. and repre-
scented that the colonel was its leading
spirit. Among other attentions paid hlm
by the World was lengthy report of
sDeech, which ii declared he delivered
at A meeting of the committee on resolu-
TONS The meeting was executive, but
The transom of the room in which 1t was
held happened TO be open, and reporter
accordingly gave verbatum a speech
made by the colonel-a speech which the
World represented as eloquent and stir

ne of Utah. Ana now comes me Irlnune
Cleveland the DAY after the Worlds re-
pert. The letter, the judge says. is open
for inspection, and in it his correspondent
saws. That the person who is said TO
have made this speech before said COM
mittee did not open his mouth before 1t
unless in private conversation.
The colonel's friends are indignant over
this accusation of bad faith, and protest
that not only did the colonel deliver
speech but that it was classic and ought
TO be permanently preserved as a mastery
argument in favor of Justice for the white
metal The foamy wars raging over that
Cleveland speech are heard all over the
territory Meanwhile the colonel sits in
his elegant study and smiles. The colonel
