The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-11-12

all kindly towards the tribune, winch
yesterday morning announced def
niteIy that he was of counsel that
would contest the recent election on
behalf OF certain candidates. The
Judge explained yesterday that as yet
it had not been decided as to whether
a suit would be brought or not; that
the attorneys v%2e undecided as to the
law in the case and were celebrating
on the points to be considered.
Judge Loofbourow does not care TO
talk much upon the matter and was
very guarded in his utterances, declar-
ing there was nothing yet which could
be construed as definite.
Il did not intend to talk for publlca-
tion,' he said, land the Tribune had
no right to quote me as it did. l have
not said there was TO be suit brought,
and do not yet. OF course the matter
has been brought to my attention and
I am examining the law upon it, but
that is all l have nothing to say con-
corning the matter at all.
Whose interest will the suit, if it is
brought at all, be in?" queried The
Herald man.
Now 1 am not at liberty to say"
was the reply. 1T would be unfair to
those who have asked me to look into
the matter. | must decline to say.
Further than this, Judge Loofbourow
would say naught.
Senator Brown was pictured as one
of the counsel in the case, and SEN
ator Brown was asked what he knew
of the matter. The smile which the
senator permitted to play over his
elastic features was as cheerful as a
sunshiny morning IN January.
You will not get me to say any
thing said the senator between the
ripples Of that marvellous illumina-
ton of face. L refuse to say anything
on either side. In other words'-and
look Of grim determination, quite in
contrast with the senator's usually
sunny demeanor-"I decline to be in
terviewed."
rs it not a fact that one of the de-
feated candidates for district judge is
a promoter of the scheme?' was asked,
whereat the countenance of Judge
Dey, who was with Mr. Brown,
underwent change Of expression be-
tokening intense interest.
LAS I have remarked replied the
man whose term expires on the day
Mr.. McKinley's begins, II refuse to say
anything"
Then, ere Brown could be catechised
on the restoration of good times as a
result Of the new administration, he
fled, taking Judge Dey with him, and
from the sounds which emanated from
the building below the White House
hotel few minutes afterward, it was
evident that Lea vas being disciplined

One defeated Republican said yester-
day: The law may be unconstitution-
al, but the people have asserted them
selves l might say they have en-
phatically asserted themselves, espec-
tally in my case. 1t is not charged
that any fraud resulted-the election
was a fair and honest one and 1 do
not believe there is court in Christen-
dom which would reverse the peoples
verdict in a case of this kind. Suppose
the election was not strictly constitu-
tional; the officers elected are officers
de facto and can do and perform legal
acts. The next legislature can amend
the law and there will be no trouble

1t Is given out that the new admin
istTafion will distribute some patron
age in this state in the shape of three
or four consulshsps. all of which will
be divided among those who have stood
among the faithful aillerents of the
pr'esident-elect. These consulships will
be those of San Salvador. Guatemala
and possibly Chill and Peru, if reports
received from the distributing bureau.
which was managed by Senator Brown
during the campaign, are true.
Up to date the western states have
not had any great amount of patronage
in the shape of consulships, or anything
else, and It is proposed TO have some
thing here, or explode all combinations.
Up to date no one has been mentioned
as candidate for consulship lightning
except Frank Lea, VINO is said to be
STATED for the place occupied by A. L.
Pollock, deceased, Who was carried off
with yellow fever while representing
the republic most ably al his post of
duty friend Of Lea stated yester-
day afternoon that he had perfected
himself for the place by mastering the
Spanish tongue, with the Salvadorean
variations. and had been practicing the
gadt of the country, in which he had
attained such perfection that he can
now walk Spanish with an elegance

Ralph Guthrie, deputy sheriff was a
staunch supporter of Mckinley He
wore a button and talked for the ma or
on the side whenever the occasion de-
manded. He is said to have voted for
him also. although it will take an open
ing Of the ballots to prove this. unless
his word is accepted as good. which is
without doubt the case, and as a re-
ward for all the josthing which he re-
oeiveG during the campaign, he is now
looking for the official shoes of Nat NJ

where Guthrie wifi get his strength it
