The Tuscarora war whoop will again
be heard in Utah, and the braves viii
carry on a war that will fill their belts
with scalps and their wigwams with
Joy. For some time the members of
the society have been anxious to enter
the fray, and, as a consequence, a gem
eral meeting was held last night for
the purpose of putting the organization
on a war footing. Braves went up to
the C. A r. hall, whispered the mys-
terious password, and were admitted
to the councils.
In keeping with the well known Gus
tom of the society, the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The Democratic party Of
Utah. by its duly constituted conven-
tons, has presented a platform of prin-
ciples and nominated candidates for
the several offices to be filed at the
ensuing election in every way worthy
OF the support of all good citizens;
therefore be it
Resolved by the Tuscarora society,
That we do hereby endorse the decla-
rations OF principles and approve the
nominations, both general and local.
and pledge our unqualified support
alike to each and every candidate of
the party
1t was found impracticable at the
meeting to decide on a full plan of
campaign, and the work Of drafting
one and arranging for a general meet
ing for next week was left in the
hands of a competent committee, con-
sisting of E. w. Wilson. A. G. Norren
r. w. Sloan, Frank Harris and Chas.
S. Wilkes. At that meeting it is eX-
pected that full programme will be
adopted.
1t was decided that the society would
unite with the other Democratic or
CARNATIONS of the city and form good
marching club, 10 be well drilled and
uniformed There are several good
drill masters in the society, and this
club will be placed in their charge.
Chairman D. C. Dunbar, of the coun-
ty committee, has sent out notices to
all the chairmen Of precinct campaign
committees, requesting them to send
in at once the names of their commit
tees for the guidance of the general
county workers.
An Explanation.
The following self explanatory ad-
dress was issued yesterday:
To the Public: Since the Democratic
ratification meeting at the theatre on
last Saturday evening number Of
complaints have been made on account
of the system pursued of reserving
seats in the lower part OF the house
I am informed that a number of per-
hi.
committee was responsible for this 1
desire to say in behalf of the Demo-
cratic committee that they had nothing
to do with it, and had no intention of
reserving seats. It was done by the
managers of the theatre, who believed
that they would be better able to han
die the people. The house was thrown
open as soon as the committee learned
of the matter.
Without wishing to attach any blame
to the management of the theatre, in
behalf of the committee, l wish to ex-
press my regret for the inconvenience
to which many people were put.
o. w. POWERS. Chairman.
Judge Powers, for several days, has
been the target for the query, "Where
did you get that hat?" Nor did the
query lack excuse. The like of the
chairman's headgear was never before
seen on the streets Of Salt Lake. 1t is
a cross between a derby" and a sailor
hat. 1t starts out to be the former
and ends by being the latter.
Harry AIcCallum, envious of Powers
ability as politician. imagined it was
all in the hat, and yesterday afternoon
he donned an exact counterpart of
Powers topper" However, to equal
Powers as a campaign manager Nc |
Callum will have to go farther and i'm
prove what is under the hat
As to Campaign Funds.
The campaign liar of the Tribune is
an expert at weaving fairy tales. Yes
terday he started out by telling the
Republicans that the Democrats have
campaign fund Of $4,000 or some
thing slightly less He simply pub
lished q story that has been in circu- |
lation several days. Outside of the
general guessing of the Republicans, /
there was a two-fold motive in pub
fishing the story. The first part Of
the motive was to spread discomfort
among the Democratic workers and
bring down on Judge Powers an army
of strikers. The second was to brighten |
certain Republican moneyed men into |
giving freely to the Republican cam
paign fund.

tee sent out men yesterday to rustic |
something up to enable the committee |
to go on with its work and pay it's /
rent The committee met with the |
most discouraging reception. The |
Oquirrh club has never had enough |
to make it feel easy. So far in the |
campaign the state committee has
been the only one with funds. Soon
after his election Geo. NJ. Cannon |
raised $4,000 or more, about $4,000 of |
which he applied in payment of a note !
left as a legacy from the campaign of |
last year. The balance of the money |
has been spent. It has gone here,
there and everywhere. A goodly por-
ton of it has been used to pay for the |
glee club which is accompanying Can |
non, Allen and Wells. It was a matter
Of common talk on the streets yester-
day that bills had been presented and |
had not been paid. Geo. NJ. Cannon !
was known to be out for more of the |
needful, but he brought back little en-
couraS1ment. Republicans feel dis
gusted with the silver record of their |
