will apply today between and o'clock
will be employed, The committee wants
to shut off all the Democrats. so that
when election day comes there will be
no means OF transporting Democrats to
the polls.
There was meeting of the candi-
dates at headquarters, too. Perry and
Chris were there, but the face of Ged-
des was not seen. Geddes is too far
in the lead of the man from Sandy
or the man from the fruit tree farm to
take any chances with them, in the
opinion of his friends, although there
are those who say that Perry is carry
ing the other two. Be this as it may.
Geddes wears a sorry look. He APP
pears as forlorn as Condie does when
he sings song, and his voice has the
same kind of a quaver. If Chris was
to attempt to sing what he would do
If he was president, he wouldn't get
farther than school trustee. He is hav-
ing a hot old time all by himself and
is being boosted by Belts and Hart
bank on And, by the way, the latter
is i'll, and Belts has all he can do to
keep Chris head above water.
The scrap which took place inside
headquarters yesterday was a lively
one, if the onlookers are to be believed.
David R. Parry of the Twenty fifth
precinct was the victim, and as a re-
suit the reunited Republican, ticket
will lose several votes.
Fred Price, fruit tree inspector, is
not well liked by many people in the
Fifteenth ward on account of his ac-
tons at several of the primaries down
there. He is also disliked by the same
people because, according to Missing,
the registrar there, he is not citizen.
But Price is working for the ticket
just the same.
Mr.. Parry is a heavy taxpayer and
one of those who have asserted that
Price ought not to hold office or draw
pay until he is a citizen, although he
declares he has never uttered a word
of abuse against the young man. He
AYERS that some time ago Price abused
him badly, but as to the merits of that
matter there is nothing to say. Yes
terday Parry, who was chairman of
the Twenty-fifth precinct, went to
county headquarters after some infor1
nation, and states that when he en-
tered the room where Price, George 3.
Squires, Sam Westerfield and others
were. Price began abusing him. The
result was that Price struck him, SO
he alleges. and knocked him down.
While they were both on the floor,
Parry says that George B. Squires
kicked him in the face, but Squires
denies this and says he did not.
Squires, however, is reported to have
said that mo man can abuse Fred
Price in my presence. and those
Swedes cannot down him. This as
sertion is presumed to refer to the
Wissings.
Parry's face was badly bruised ar
ter the fight was over. He at once
notified the secretary that he could
take his name off the books; that he
wanted nothing to do with such a
crowd. He declares it is very hard
that a citizen cannot be permitted to
visit headquarters without being as
saulted, and declares that from this
time on he will vote the Democratic
ticket from top to bottom, and as he
is a man with much influence, he
will doubtless do some good in his
section.
The affair created sensation at
headquarters and there were plenty of
those who said that it was disgraceful
to have such happenings there.
An effort was made to have the mar
ter hushed up, and no information
could be obtained from headquarters
anent the details.
The following qualifications of Peter
Condie are taken from the Tribune:
Oct. S.-"Mr. Condie, the nominee
for sheriff, may be a good selection;
we hope So
Oct 9.-''Mr. Condie, the Republican
nominee for sheriff, is vouched for as
a good man. It is also said he can
lift 900 pounds, which encourages us"
Oct. 9.-"Mr. Condie is well know
in the Second municipal ward, though
not widely acquainted elsewhere in
the CITY,"
Peter took a trip to Bingham recent
ly and made a canvass of the miners
over there, with the result that he
came back home with ductile face
and a sad heart. He got the chilly
cheek everywhere he Travelled. The boys
over there are all for Lewis and do
not hesitate to say so. Although Peter
can sing, they did not receive him with
the cordially which he expected to
receive.
BY the way, Peter, here is something
for you to read. It comes to this Of
flee under the caption of An Open
Letter:
ITO Mr.. Peter Condie, Candidate for
Sheriff of Salt Lake County:
Dear Sir-When you get through
warbling about what you would do II
you were president, will you kindly
come down to the main issue and tell
us truly, we implore, what you would
do if you were sheriff?
ANXIOUS VOTER"

E. G. Rognon feels aggrieved be-
cause this paper repeated the remarks
of a Republican voter who said there
was an impression that he, Rognon,
was tinged with the gol6 s ris.
words IN that effect. ROgnOn states
that he is for silver first, last and all
the time, and that he would not vote
for a candidate for the senate of the
United States who would not pledge
himself to make silver the paramount
issue. This paper did not intend to
misrepresent Rognon at all and the
statement is cheerfully made as he
puts it. Outside of mis- politics RoSnon
is a good fellow. but this is his off
year, no matter what his position. he
Will go down with the balance.
Ike Jennings has been over in Tooele
trying to defeat the election Of VIII
Nebeker. He has been doing some
terrible hustling and has a story
against Neb. which this paper dislilSes
very much tc print 1t is a fearful tale
and if true, Will will go down to the
defeat he so richly deserves. Listen
all you good Democrats; listen all you
good Republicans, If sucn persons W
exist listen you miners. you farm
ers, you sheep men, you-you-you;
well listen anyway.
Years ago, when Nebeker was
younger than he is now he bought
two theatre tickets. One was for hlnl-
self, the other for his best girl. He
contemplated taking her to the show.
