GREAT ENTERTAINMENT.
Given nv Members of Flynn and Sheridan
Company at Davis Thcatcr.

One of the most entertaining attrac-
tions seen at Davis theater this season
is the Flynn & Sheridan's company
which opened a three days engagement
at that house yesterday afternoon. 1t
was a large audience that saw the
opening performance and 1t Is safe to
predict that standing room will be at
a premium during the remainder of the
engagement.
The company contains about thirty
women, about One-third of whom are
creOles. There are also a number of
male comedians, some white others
colored. The performance given by
the creOles and colored men Is blended
with the performance of the white peo-
pie in some respects but In reality there
are two distinct shows. The members
Of the chorus are neatly costumed and
sing and march In a very credita BILE
manner.
Prince Flotow did q "silence and fun"
act that provoked much applause and
Miss Julietta Nelson gave the most
wonderful performance on the high wire
ever seen In the city. Snyder and
Buckley did laughable musical turn
and Carrie Dunn and Ida Collins were
seen In review of contemporaneous
song and dance successes.
The performance concluded with a
humorous burlesque, "On the Island"
participated In by all the members of
the company. The performance will
be repeated this and tomorrow after
Moons and evenings.

Well,

If you don't know what to buy for
Christmas presents, and will take
my advice. you will pay a visit to
China Hall. I felt as you do--not
knowing what to buy or where to
go to buy it. went to Weichel &
Millar's, and saw so many things
that were useful as well as orna-
mental, that it was a real pleas
ure instead of labor in making my
selections. They have so many
little conceits, such as Trinket
Sets, Comb and Brush Trays,
Flower Vases, Ink Sets, Jardin-
ieres, s o'clock Tea Kettles, Chat
ing Dishes-no end to Lamps, and
Onyx Top Tables, Dinner Sets in
open stock. 1t is surprising how
cheap you can buy a nice set when
you can select such pieces as you
need and not have to pay for a
lot of pieces that you do not need;

An Army OF Them Invaded the Stores OF

Never on a corresponding night in
recent years were the streets in the

these made the sight. sound and spirit
of the scene a combination of gaiety
and joy that comes but once year. The
street cars as early as $3.50 o'clock be-

possibly six or seven thousand persons

the harvest belonged to the stores
whose profits from Z to 10 O'Clock are
incalculable. In the dry goods and
large department stores 1t was almost
impossible to reach the counters. and
then one would have chance to ex-
hibit patience while waiting to be
shown goods.
Had to Lock tho Doors.
Three stores on Lackawanna avenue
were obliged to lock their doors before
8 o'clock, when the crowds about the
entrances extended across the sidewalk
and onto the pavement. The doors
were kept locked until a dozen or fif-
teen women in tatters and with their
hats at all sorts of angles wanted to be
let out; then the door was opened, only
to be closed after a dozen or fifteen
from the outside had filled the gap
made by the hair disheveled females
from within.
Tonight's crowd promises to be even
larger than that of last night.

That delightful idyl of country life,
"The Old Homestead" which, like Ten

that crowded 1t to the doors.

GIVE US A CLEAN CITY TICKET.

The ticket for members of the
city council nominated by the Demo-
cratic precinct conventions, is worthy
of all praise and will receive full DEM
ocratic support as we'll as some Re-
publican aid 1t is notorious that the
Republican municipal ticket is re-
garded with disfavor by many of that
party.
Now let the city officers be selected
with care. We want a strong candi-
date for Mayor, a man who possesses
not only the business qualifications,
executive ability and practical good
sense necessary for the incumbent of
that important position, but one
whose character habits and reputa-
ton will be such as to gain the entire
confidence of the people and their re-
spect and esteem, and be guaranty
that all the ordinances of the city
without exception will be fully en-
forced.
Every other city officer who is to
be elected in November should be cho-
sen with view to his fitness and
special qudHIICdtlOHS LOE Inc poSl, anu
none should be placed upon the ticket
through deals and intrigues and the
placation of certain districts or rings,
Give the citizens a good, clean, ca

support in body, and many Repub-
licans who are sick and tired of the
blunders of their party. and cannot
conscientiously swallow the dose pre-
pared for them by the self constituted
political doctors, will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket and help to secure to this
city a capable and respectable muni-

AS no DECENTRALIZATION.

Whenever there is a conflict among
Republicans in this city or territory,
the morning Republican paper, which
is mot a Republican organ" makes
great outcry about decentralization
among the Democrats" That is the
theme just now.
AS a matter Of fact the excitement
of the past week has had the effect
Of drawing the Democrats closer to-
gether, in their stand against what
they believe to be an attempt at
church control in politics. Where is
there a single sign of decentralization
in the Democratic ranks? 1t is not
discernible to the naked eye And
there is no magnifying glass of what
ever power that will reveal any indi-
cation of it,
But are there not ample evidences
of decentralization in the Republican
ranks? Are not Republicans greatly
dissatisfied with their tickets, state,
county and municipal? Do not large
numbers of prominent Republicans
openly declare that they will not vote
for large number of candidates on
those tickets?
Is there not strong dissension over
the conduct of the Republican cam
paign? Are there not propositions to
change its management? Is there not
a big feud among prominent aspirants
for offices to be voted for by Repub-
licans?
Are Trumbo and Crane In sweet
unity with Cannon and Allen? Does
the large faction led by the for
mer chant the praises of the Trib-
une ring? Do the morning and evea-
ing Republican sheets in this city
spread together in peace? Between
the two is not the party being damned
into utter Generalization?
Let no one be deceived. The Repub-
lican party Of Utah is in a fearful
state of discord. The Democratic
party is compact, determined and full
Of energy. There are no issues divid-
ing them. They are proud of their
ticket. They are one in the face of
the foe. They are confident of a sig
nal victory. They will do their ut
most to achieve it.
This is Democratic year!
