The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-23
Park city, october q, 1895.

l am at the home of the great silver
mines OF Utah and the home also of
three at least of the New York World s
prosperous condition and the business,
which necessarily is confined to one
street, makes the town look crowded
from early morning until work is over
for the evening.
l sought the political workers of both
parties and have talked with them and
with the keen observers in both par
ties, and if one is to believe the state
mentS which are made in all earnest
ness this city is safe for the entire
Democratic ticket. I found the Repub-
lican headquarters locked and no one
around who could tell me the name OF
the chairman or where 1 could find
him. In front of the postofTice 1 found
Mr.. Thomas Kearns, one of the
staunchest silver men in Utah and one
who has contributed literally to the
Bryan campaign fund. l asked Mr..
hearns how he felt regarding the sue
cess of the Democratic candidate.
I feel confident he said, that MI
Bryan viii be elected
How about Mr.. Kings chances in
this county2" asked.
Well, L hear you are in the county
course know that l am for MIR. Hol-
brook. But Mr. King is popular and
may carry Summit county. l am not
taking a very active interest in the To-
cal campaign because [ feel the cause
OF silver will be safe with either candi-
date for congress. 1 would prefer to
see Mr.. Eolhrook elected because
believe in protection, but l can stand
Mr.. King very. comfortably
low H. .o,
Well / think Mr.. Chambers will
probably carry the district Still. as I
have said, 1 am not much interested in
local politics, but if you hear of any
Mckinley man who win bet on Ne
braska send him to me-"
The Republicans have adopted a diff
ferent method OF holding their party
together in this city than has been
used in the past. They are making a
still hunt from house TO house saying
in effect that they are for Bryan and
silver but the autonomy of the Repub-
ican party must be preserved. They
are urging upon their party members
the necessity Of getting the local offices,
so they may profit thereby, and the
congressman and legislature, in order to
secure legislation favoring protection
and bounties
| find among these hardy miners that
THESE arguments are taken with a grain
or salt. One said to me that the party
who had made the fight and risked
their very existence for the cause of
silver should get his full support from
congressman to constable and that he
but voiced the sentiments of many men
who in the past had voted the Repub-
lican ticket
The county ticket put up by the
Democrats at their late convention is
giving satisfaction. Especially is this
the case among the Miners union who
have number of representatives
upon it who are able men and can draw
out the full strength of that vote.
l have not met a Mckinley man in
this city. l doubt very much if l per
cent of the vote will be cast for the
syndicate candidate
There are some things I find that are
very distasteful to the Republicans of
this part of Utah One is that SEN
ator Brown persists in being a factor
in Republican politics and will not
down
Judge Norrell and Judge Cherry have
been renewing old acquaintance to-
day, and this evening go to Kamas.
tomorrow evening a great meeting
is expected here, when Colonel Ellis,
state Senator Chambers and Judges
Norrell and Cherry will speak.
Park City will surely be found in the
Democratic column this year. and when
that is said it means also summit
county.
