the sentiment for Bryan is growing
and he is gaining ground every day.
The momentum which the under cur
rent IN his favor is acquiring will sur
prise the country. The feeling in Chi
cago has changed wonderfully within
the past week even, and Bryan is re-
garded with a great deal more favor
tnan he was; but, as have stated,
thus far il has been a singie-handed
fight. Although Bryan is a powerful
speaker and worker, it behooves every
worker in the cause of humanity and
the freedom of the people TO lend
every aid, both financial and intellec-
tual, TO make his election a certainty.
There was not day during my
three weeks stay in Chicago that you
could not see crowds, and IN the hotel
Iobbies such as the Palmer, the Great
Northern, the Saratoga, Grand Pacific,
and in fact all of them, discussing the
money question. Every night on the
lake front great crowds assemble TO
discuss It. They begin in the morning
and talk matters over until after mid
night The silver question is the all
important one, the tariff seemingly be-
ing lost in the depths. Laboringmen,
VINO ordinarily would be home with
their families, now stay out late at
night in an effort to learn all they can
about the financial questions which are
2gitating the country. There seems to
be g. well-grounded belief among them
that the advocates of silver are en-
deavoring to do something in their
interest, and they are investigating
the matter with great deal of ear
nestness. These men are generally in
telliSent mechanics and laborers who
are striving to better their condition.
1T is hard fight and battle to
the bitter end this year. Silver men of
all parties-Republican Democrats
and Populists-ought to unite and pre-
sent a solid front, for we have power
full enemy to fight in the money power.
But by the unison of all our forces
we can and must win, for the right
will surely triumph. Silver literature
is in demand everywhere, and more
money and more men are in demand
at the front. There should be nothing
left undone which can be done to aid in
the cause"
The second number of the Great Cam
paign appeared yesterday and the per-
sonality of S. A Kenner sparkles
through every page. Essay Caign is
a pioneer in the silver fight and will
keep his end up until the end of the
contest.

the time and place Of holding the meet
ings.
Bert Raybould and a few choice spir-
its, representing a faction of the Re-
publican party of the Second precinct,
met on Wednesday evening and decided
to stand with the call issued by the
county committee in relation to the pri-
maries. This done, Bert was elected
with the approval of the voters of the
precinct. Neither does it meet with the
and sanction of all the precinct
officers. The sentiment in the Second
is to fall in line with the Independents
and if the parties who held the meet
ing had waited until the publication
OF the call made by Chairman Varian
this morning, the action would have
been entirely different. There is not
man in the precinct organiza-
ton in the Second. They are all for
Bryan. The Second precinct will give
4 majority for the silver candidate, and
4 big one at that. There was talk on
the streets yesterday of a meeting to-
night to take action in the matter and
attend the primaries which will be call
ed by the silver men
The attention of the Democrats of the
Secondhand in fact all other precincts
n a similar condition-is called to- the
TACT that an organization should be per-
aected and at once. The primaries are
coming on and there should be unity of
action right away. Several prominent
Democrats of 1.-The largest precinct in
he state" spoke about the matter yes
Ierday and wanted to know why this
had not been done.
Next Wednesday is Bryan and sewall
lay at Saltair and a large attendance
is anticipated. Good speakers will be in
attendance and a great time is antici-
pated.
Frank R. Margetts is going to try for
the nomination for justice of the peace
on the Democratic ticket in the Third
ability and legal sagacity and would
make a good candidate for the ancient
and honorable position alluded to.
Several of the old time friends of Hon.
dadley d. Johnson are booming him for
a place on the electoral ticket.
Jim Bolitho of Richfeld, member of
the last house and a Republican to the
core, is out for Bryan Jim knows a
thing Tim or two and the people down there
like him. He will doubtless be a dele
gate to the Independent convention here
this month and will be heard from.
Attorney James r. Pardee has come out
as candidate for the nomination for
county attorney ON the Democratic ticket
Mr.. Pardee is not very demonstrative in
this running for the office, but at the same
time is quite anxious to receive the nomin-
alton. AS some of the claims he has on
the people of Utah for their suffrage it
is urged by his friends that he is an old
timer here, having for fourteen or fifteen
