lican aggregation are looking over the
field in an effort to determine where
the victory really perches. Of course,
che Tribune-Thomas crowd was left
and badly left. There is nothing the
members OF the combination can see
to justify them in the belief that they
were even in the fight. Usually after
struggle the vanquished can point
with a degree Of pride to the many
corpses which strew the field and can
say, Although conquered, we were
devilish hard to whip"
But in This instance there is nothing
of that sort to be INDUCED in. In or
DER to furnish CORY remains for mar
tial funerals, where dead marches sob
fn walls the song Of death and draped
banners flap disconsolate, it is neces-
sary to have soldiers engaged. In this
instance the Tribune-Thomas crowd
had no warriors to lose. True, the fore
man of the composing room shouted
among the trumpets and the mighty
men; smelled the battle ike the war
horse mentioned in Job; literally paved
in the valley and clothed his neck, or
that portion of his anatomy just above
the neck, with thunder, still he was
not in it.
The Foreman of the Composing
Room.
Because the boys were onto him. In
vain did he talk labor and union and
all that sort of thing. 1t might have
IL
an issue real lady; when the eXige'1-
cies of the campaign demanded that
some sort of a sop had 20 be thrown
out, but in time of |! is kind when
nearly every man was determined to
take a fall out of the outfit with whom
he was working, all trivial matters
were overlooked and strict attention
paid to the main chance.
The nearest approach to ictorv he
achieved was when he Withdrew his
candidacy. 1t was the only measure
he was permitted to carry in conven-
ton, and as it was a measure of re-
lief. to the members, he was allowed
to succeed. The tenor of the conven-
ton was felt in relation to Tribune
Thomas measures when the alloting of
delegates by wards was proposed. Nc
Callum's report referring the matter
TO the precincts was opposed by the
Rule or Ruin crowd, because they saw
chance to gain q few delegates in
certain wards. c. E. Allen antagonized
the report, not knowing exactly what
1t was, and the Thomas men, grasp
ing the situation, raised a, cry against
the measure. The foreman of the COM
posing room Joined i'm the general
bowl; the report on this point was de-
feated and he sat down with a. com
placent smile on his .rhododendron
complexion.
His joy was short lived, however.
Tor the convention quickly saw its
mistake. reconsidered the action taken
and adopted the report without a dis
senting vote. Even the foreman of the
composing room dared not vote against
the reconsideration, for fear it might
SpolI his chances, and, as a result. Nc
CaIlum and the Oquirrh club carried
one of their most important points.
oquirrh Club Ran Everything.
The Oquirrh club ran the convention
yesterday from start to finish. IT was
nothing but meeting of the Oouirrh
cub when all the facts are summed
up. All of which must be faU and
NORWOOD to the Tribune-T Thomas
faction. The spectacle of c. S. Varian
presiding, with Louis Hyams in the
secretary's chair; with McCallum do
ing the ground work on the floor of
the convention and the final action in
Arthur Parsons as chairman
must Tankie in the bosoms of the gang.
There was but one act needed il
make the small following go and com
INIT pohtlcal hari-kari, and that Would
nave Deen to have nominated M K
Parsons for the state senate. Tho
name OF Parsons is very objectionabIa
10 the Tribune people. 1t is said that
lney dislike ministers of the gospel
over there simply because at times |
they are designated as Parsons.
Dykes Political Grave Dug.
w L. Dykes has dug his own poll
teal grave. If there ever was a man |
whom the Tribune fought with energy
ana Vltuperation, that man was DYKES |
Next to Sheriff Hardy, Dykes was the !
most abused man the paper ever on |
posed. But William is of a foreivine, !
nature; believes in kissing the hand |
winch sm1tes him; turning one side of |
MS lace 20 receive the blow which usu-
ally follows the first and all that sort of
lhlhg, and as result he formed a |
combination with Geddes, who is trv- /
ing to show gratitude for a defense |
made by the Tribune of his salarv- |
grabbing, and stood by the Tribune |
nonas combination. OF course Dykes
van go to the judicial convention, but /
that is all the reward he can hope to |
receive. He will sit there like bunp |
on log, for his influence has departed |
and he is forsaken hulk on the broad |
pond whose bottom is four miles from !
any place -N' = 0'i
Dykes had his nerve with him in
challenging the vote of the Sixth |
ward for chairman OF the county com |
inltCee. His political boss, Geddes. had |
just a moment before voted the Twen- |
ty-thlrd ward for Rognon, in the an |
sence OF Starbuck, who was outside |
a lemon sherbet. Had tbe |
convention sustained Dykes. a chaI- |
lenge would have been interposed m /
Geddes' action and Parsons elected /
Just the same.
How Mrs. Wells Was Nominated
There is an unpublished story anent
the nomination OF AIRS. Wells that is
too good to keep. This estimable ladv
varied to go, not to the lower. but tbe
upper house Of the legislature. When
the delegates from the country forced |
The nomination of women unon the

from the First precinct particinafed
until he was well nigh exhausted. Mrs
Wells saw an opportunity of doing
ine stroke of political work. She senr
word to L. G. Hardy, her worker on
he floor. TO make a statement to the
effect that she would withdraw from
he race and take her chances on q
nomination for the senate. Had this
been done, Mrs. Pardee would have
