Juug6 Bennett from the Craftsmanship of
the Republican city committed There
were numerous protests over his holding

had been done with the idea that it might
inJure his chances of success if he were
nouna up on the committee. A PROPOSE

pressure was brought to bear to have him
coHtlnue; me reason for this lay in the

democrats that it is against the white
metal were creStfallen Yesterday II has

a victory, because it looked very much as
though the Republicans were determined
to adopt straight gold plank, with the
east and south voting for it, To keen
them from doing so was undoubtedly a
great task. But what the people of Utah
are looking for Just now is the party that

fight for it that they will make for tine

southern delegates as they will next
year. Nor did they press the tariff issue
as much as they will next year a
chance was offered for the Republicans
to show some signs of conversion The
people OF the west cannot be satisfied
with the result
VIII Help the Democrats.
The result, therefore, will help the Dem
ocrats. How can it help but do so? 1t will
not be long before a Disguised peonIe
