ham. 1t would require so pages in g.
newspaper for him to explain. The
record of his mileage is one which
would take a. least eight columns in
this issue. It has been printed by The
Herald, from the bill he has made out
himself and sworn to and the public
is familiar with it. It is also cognizant
that this wealth belonging to the tax
payers of the county was wrongfully
taken and restitution is due them.

Gus gives Grover Cleveland a roasting
in choice Scandinavian and declares
there is no use in putting ones x up
by the roog.er. Down with Cleveland
and elect CriSmon for county recorder.
Don't put your x by the rooster, says
Gus. Vote for Taylor. Give US a better
tariff law; vote for Taylor.
Then Gus gives some instructions as
to how TO vote for Mckinley. Just
think of free siler Gus giving such adj
vice as that. Vote for Mckinley and
the dog catcher.

the rush.
John ]. DAILY, one Of the electors for
Bryan in this state returned from the
east yesterday looking very cheerful
He says the men from the west did
good work while away and that he be-
heves Bryan will be elected, although
the money power is concentrating all
its efforts to beat him. The working
men of the country now have a chance
to save it and he believes they viii ac-
cept the opportunity and vote for Bry-
an. Like many others, Mr.. Daily is Of
the opinion that the silent vote of the
country is the one which will elect
Bryan. The Mckinley men have every
reason to shout; they need not fear
dismissal But the Bryan workingman
must wear a button and parade with
the goldbugs. Look out for that eie-
ment when it gets into the voting
booth, for it viii cast a ballot as it
feels.
The name of E. w. Wilson. candidate
for the lower house on the Democratic
ticket, appears on the official ballot as
Everett W. Wilson. Under the law
the first name of all candidates must

orally known as E. W. Wilson, the
attention of the voters is called to the
matter.

chances are fading so beautifully that

The Herald is in receipt of a letter
from one of the former stalwart Re-
publicans of Tooele county, in which
he states the following: Il note the
Tribune asserts that Box Elder and
Tooele counties nominated Sharp in
Joint convention. BY referring to your
report in the Herald of Sept. 26 you will
note that Box Elder gave 16 to Sharp
and 10 for Mcbride, and you criticised
the same justly, showing the fraud.
The check of the fellows is apparent,
when they voted the six votes which
had bolted the convention. The facts
are these: Our convention last year
nominated Bishop Zundel and he was
elected, and this year Tooele was en-
titled to the nomination, but, as even
the Tribune report at the time showed

job the day before the convention at
