on. JAMiESON'S GOOD WORK.

DIR. T. n. Jameson seems to he one
Of the Republican national committee
men who thoroughly understand the
duties OF a member Of the national or
ganizatIon. Jameson IL u practical
politician, ana as such he Ii without a
peer In Illinois or elsewhere.
His idea Of the duties Of u national
committeeman Is that each member Of
the committee shall attend to and he
responsible for the affairs Of his own
State.
Jameson Ii taking care Of Illinois.
lie IL seeing to 1t that the Prairie State
will be In the Republican column when
the vote for presidential electors Ii
counted. He Is not running the entire
national campaign; he Is not attempt.
ing to do so. He Is helping to carry
Illinois for Mckinley.
DIR. Jameson does not believe In
mincing matters. He likes to tell the
truth and shame the devil. He knows
the public pulse In this State and its
variations more thoroughly than any
man In Illinois, with the possible eX.
ceptiOn of Tanner himself. A few
weeks ago he found that Illinois was
In the grip of the silver movement,
and he walked down to national head
quarters in the Auditorium and told
the great men there what he believed.
Vie was ut first regarded as calamity
bowler, but subsequent events proved
the truth of his assertion. As a result
Of his warning, Mark Hanna himself
came on here from the East and per
sonally superintendent the workings of
the campaign In Chicago. Jameson
gave him few pointers. He told him
where the weak spots We're In the Prai'
rle State; he pointed out the necessity
of an adhesive plaster here, bandage
there and a compress yOnder. When
Hanna got through dOctOring Illinois
under JamiesOn's advice, the Prairie
State was once more In healthy con-
dltlon from Republican standpoint.
DIR. Jameson was enabled at the de-
parture of Mark Hanna to assure that
gentleman that Illinois was once again
solldly Republican. There Is nothing
sure about that, so far as the national
election Is concerned. II looks as
though Tanner will carry Illinois be-
yond a doubt, because the people are
disguised with Populistic alliances, bu;
there Is nothing dead sure as to the
Canton's Majors claimed victory.

AGAINST THE CITY.
The Jury Awards Guy G.. Royce
$500 Damages.


$500 Damages.
The damage suit of Guy C. Royce
VS. Salt Lake city. which was on trial
for the past three days, reached the
jury yesterday afternoon about $3.50
o'clock, and after three-quarters of an
hours deliberation the jury found a
verdict for the plaintiff. assessing his
damages at $500.
Royce, who appeared to be quite a
respectable man, was arrested by the
police in 1892 on the charge of vag-
rancy There was no warrant issued
for his arrest and although he had $40
in money in his pocket and gave a
good account of himself ne was found
guilty and sent TO work on the rock
pile for sixty days, and while engaged
in breaking rocks sustained the loss
of an eye by being hit with a piece
OF flying rock.
The counsel for the city admitted
that Royce had been wrongfully con-
victed and that he had been detained
a prisoner for sixty days without even
G. commitment being made out, but
set as a defense that the city was not
responsible for the Illegal acts of its
servants The law, however, appeared
to be that as the city got the benefit
of Royce's labor, it was responsible,
and the jury thought Royce was dam
aged to the extent of 81, 500.
