Salt Lake City, Oct. IA, 1896
The expose of the object of the visit
of Senators Proctor, Shoup and War
rem to this city has resulted in many
political "reminiscences being retold.
The fight in the Wyoming legislature
two years ago and the fight for Shoup
in the Idaho legislature only a few
months ago give credence to the stories
published, and well-poSted citizens de-
clare that Senator Proctor'S principal
occupation during the past few months
has been the fixing up of Mckinley
fences in senatorial and congressional
districts wherever they were in need
of repairs. l am told that their con-
ference with George @. Cannon on
Tuesday resulted in failure, and that
they now understand that they can
not receive any political help from him.
1 also understand, from a person who
has intimate knowledge of the Utah
Development company's business, that
this is the second time George Q. has
refused to deliver votes, or to express
a desire that they be delivered, and
that, although
PRESSURE MAY BE BROUGHT
to bear upon him in a financial way,
he will remain firm in his determine
ton not to again interfere with the
political liberties of the people.
This morning the visiting senators
had numerous callers. Senator Proc
and parlor D, his apartment in
the knulsrord. was not free during
the morning hours of the presence of
politicians. Senator Proctor break
tasted at 8 o'clock, and at 9:45 o'clock
! Harry McCallum, the gentleman who
| has retired from politics, was ushered
into his presence. The retired politi-
clan presented his card and then
/ letter, which was undoubtedly a letter
of introduction, for after reading it the
/ senator from Vermont grasped Browns
! lieutenant cordially by the hand. Then
! the door closed and for half an hour
/ Me" had the senator's ear. ~ 1915
Hon A l.. Thomas called, and fifteen
minutes later Judge Mckay sauntered
| in. He was followed by Bishop Elias
| Morris. Shortly before the noon hour
John Z. Dolly, the Mckinley chair
man of the state Republican commit
tee, and r. H. Campbell sent up their
| cards, and few minutes later were
admitted to the Proctor parlor.
| In the afternoon there were no call
| ers of note, but at o'clock in the
! evening
HON. A. c. CLEVELAND
of White Pine county, New, and one
of the twenty-six boiling st. Louis
delegates, called and remained for half
an hour. Tomorrow morning Senator
Arthur Brown will arrive on the scene
If all goes well with his train he will
reach the depot at a. m. and will
consult with his senatorial colleagues
in the forenoon. In the evening, at the
Alta club-if the programme as now
arranged is carried out-Senator
Brown will banquet his colleagues, and
among the invited guests will be prom
! inent McKinleyite politicians.
| In regard to their plans there is
nothing new to chronicle. They may
not succeed in capturing Wyoming, and
the indications now are that their ma
chinations will not result in harm to
| either Dubois or Borah in Idaho, but
that Browns fences in Utah will be
strengthened there is no doubt, for the
Brown workers here cannot conceal
TIER delight over the way things"
are shaping.
I.IPPMAN'S UNPLEASANT TASK.
Chairman Joseph Lippqnan of the
Independent Republican party and
candidate for the legislature on the
goldbug-silver ticket, is busy man
these days. He is boss. clerk, errand
boy and whipper-in of his party and
for the past few days has been busy
imporuning the candidates of the
! hybrid party to qualify, according TO
| law, for positions on the ticket Chair
man Llppman's duty, as member of
| a regularly appointed committee en-
tails upon him some very unpleasant
tasks. and not the least unpleasant
among them is the assisting of known
goldbugs to places upon the ticket the
political howlers are declaring is a
Is to / proposition. These candidates
will nor. only be placed upon the ticket
whose emblem is a beehive. but will
also grace the ticket surmounted by
the proud bird of freedom. In this way
the alleged silver candidates of an
alleged silver convention will be placed
upon what the people are asked to
believe is a. sinon-pure silver ticket.
Chairman Lippman will, of course,
vote for Holbrook, but he is a silver
man in all that the name implies in
Utah, and if elected to the LEGISLATURE.
will not vote for any man VINO is not
silver man of the purest ray serene.
SAM KENYON,
another Republican candidate for the
legislature, is also a silver man who
believes in the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver without waiting for
the consent of any other nation on
cstI ILL., he. tOO, ne says, can De U8-
pended upon to vote for a silver man
If he is elected.
MRS. MARTHA CAMPBELL
is for silver The Campbells and the
Browns are on the most intimate
terms and the latter know, she says,
the position she holds. regarding the
senatorial proposition. Her opinions,
as now held, are subject to change, but
she said enough to me to satisfy me
that if she is elected she will be true
to the silver cause.
MRS. EMMELINE B. WELLS,
Republican candidate for state SEN
ator, has not yet made up her mind
as to what presidential electors she
will vote for. She told me today that
a great deal of influence was being
brought to bear upon her to declare for
Bryan but that up to date she had
nude no announcement with reference
to that matter.
Why" said Mrs Wells, should 1
be subjected to SO much quizzing? I
have lived in Utah for years and have
| in my way done my full duty to Utah,
and certainly should be entitled to
some consideration.
There is some talk of you declining
| to rum I said. Is there any truth in
| the report
Not one word of truth" declared
