The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-07-21

just now, or at least, little that takes
more definite form than runor and
conjecture, is to the effect that a new
cally paper is to make its appearance
in the field by the time the campaign
is well started. Just what title the
threatened journal is to sail under,
rumor has not grown sufficiently dis
tinct to indicate, but its purpose the
Jade has defined. 1t is TO be the organ
OF the Mckinley branch Of the RepubL-
{ can party, that is if the report in the
abstract is true that another paper is
really to inErude itself into the already
crowded Journalistic field Of Salt Lake
According to the report, which has
become quite current, the adherents to
the Mckinley ticket, and consequently
the gold platform, realizing that their
cause was hopeless by the lack of an
organ to advocate its principles, The
two morning papers having declared
themselves unequivocally for silver and
Bryan, had decided to organize a COM
pany and launch an enterprise in the
form Of a newspaper which should
stand for Mckinley and his supporters
1t is stated by the same indefinite
authority that a capital of 100000 is
behind the scheme to set the presses OF
the Mckinley spokesman in motion
and keep them rolling off reams OF
Mckinley arguments during the cam
paign. The names of the persons con-
nected with the scheme, the promoters
have not seen fit TO allow even rumor
to make public except that of ex-Editor
White of the Murray American, who it
is said will occupy a chair at one OF
the as yet mythical desks.
All of which will avail the gold men
absolutely nothing.
Anent the rumor that a new paper is
to appear to champion the gold cause,
it is known that some of the Mckinney
men are opposed to the idea These ar
que that there is not room for another
paper in Salt Lake, if it is the intention
to make it a permanent thing, for the
reason that the field for advertising is
already covered by the present papers,
whose foothoid is SO secure than an
other paper would be sure to be a los
ing proposition, and as to circulation,
everyone who knows anything about a
newspaper knows what it is to estab-
! lish a paper and work up a clrcula-
ton when the field is SO thoroughly
covered as it is in Salt Lake by papers
whose circulations have been eSfab-
lished for years.
AS to putting the paper in the field
ius6 for the campaign only those who
oppose the scheme hold that the cap
ital required is so large that the money
could be put to far greater advantage
and be made TO go much farther by
publishing campaign literature in the
form of pamphlets, establishing a mall
ing headquarters and sending McKin-
ley documents to every man, woman
and child in the land.
In response to a. call published in the
last issue OF the Staats-Zeitung a, pre-
was held at the Athletic club Sunday
afternoon looking toward the organiza-
ton of a German silver league. The
vital question Of the day was discussed
at length and great interest manifested
by all present. It was decided to call
a meeting of all German citizens of this
city and state to meet next Monday
/ evening at a time and place to be des-
ignated by a committee. chosen. The
object OF this organization is to answer
+ the allega tons and pleadings sent
forth by the German Gold league, re
Gently organized in New York, and
which is and has been distributing Ger
man literature throughout the western
states. The league will, as soon as a
/ permanent organization is effected, get
down to hard work and carry the war
! into Africa. II is proposed to issue Ger
man pamphlets and mammoth editions
of the German organ-the Staats-Zei-
tung-which is to contain articles of
enlightenment on the financial ques-
ton, and these to be distributed
/ throughout the entire east and north
west among the German voters. 1t is
l. 49,.
man newspapers in this country have
4 declared for silver, all others being
controlled by the goldbugs. 1t has long
been foreseen by leading Germans
throughout this section that something
must be done to offset the rot sent out
TO the German people of the country
/ by the goldbug press and the German
Gold league Of New York, to enlighten
the Germans of the country and prop
erly submit the question on the silver
side, and the league expects to accom-
plish the greatest good by eXerted and
united action on the part of the Ger
mans of the west.
The time and place of holding the
next meeting, at which a permanent
organization is to be perfected, will be
announced in due time. Every Ger
man Of this city and neighborhood is
earnestly requested to attend this meet
ing.
Chairman John E. Dooiy, of the Re

replied: Il am not preparing an ad

An incipient boom which as yet ha.
taken no definite form but which it i.
said is being shaped preparatory to {
launching when the proper time comes
| is that of Thomas Kearns, ex-delegat,
! to the Republican national convention
| for congress. Mr.. Kearns' candidac!
! is thing that is frequently talked O.
among politicians although no one ha.
yet been found who appears to be be
hind it. 1t is asserted that the ex-dele
/ gate has congressional aspirations anc
! that many of his friends would like Il
| see him supplant Mr.. Allen at the ma
tional capital.
Very little is heard these days con
corning Democratic candidates for tn.
higher places to be filed this fall There
/ is no doubt, however, that plenty O.
men will be found who will be willing
to have the Office seek them and bt
willing to sacrifice themselves anC
their time for their country. In th..
the Democrats with the bright pros
poets ahead of the party will not b.
! behind their Republican brethren. A.
yet the most prominently spoken C.
candidates are David Evans for con
gress and ]. L. Rawlins for the senate
