ences existing in the Democratic party
were settled at a conference in which
the legislative candidates, their oppo-
nents, the county central committee
and Judges Powers and King and Hon.
John T. Caine took part, and now the
whole ticket Is on the road to victory.
Judge Powers began the work of concil-
iation at Wellsville Thursday night,
and ever since has been active in pro-
noting peace and harmony. He took
the position that the people hereabouts
should not allow local or church diff
ferences TO influence them in political
matters and hesitated not in declaring
that all who opposed the candidates on
such grounds would be enacting the
part OF apostates to their party and
would jeopardize the success of the
silver cause The meeting at Wells
vile was well attended and the judges
remarks on that subject were we'll re-
ceiged- It is believed now that the
Citizens movement will die aiborning
and that in accordance with custom
the Republican party will be buried
with fitting honors under an avalanche
OF ballots on November 8.
REPUBLICAN CHICANERY.
At the conference it was demon
strated that the plan to disrupt the
party was conceived by Republicans,
whose tools represented that their work
was approved by authority. Bishops
Vaughan, Hughes and Wright were
cited as conspicuous opponents, and
their names were used in order to have
the impression go abroad that it was a
church fight and that certain of the
Democratic legislative candidates were
obnoxious and therefore under the ban.
People were also induced, as was dem
onStrated by testimony given at the
conference to sign a petition request
ing the Inauguration Of a Citizens
party, who believed that the petition
was in the interests of silver and words
were put in the mouths of honorable
men that the utterance Of would have
blistered the lips Of pothouse polite
jans. The attempt to drag the church
into a petty quarrel which at no time
hardly attained to the dignity of q.
tempest in a teapot, has signally failed
and the result will be that at the Citi-
zens' mass convention Democrats will
be conspicuous by their absence.
UNION PACIFIC NOT IN POLITICS.
d. S. Taggart of the passenger de-
partment of the Union Pacific rail-
way at Salt Lake city, has been in
AdCuS COuuly Oll d QCLOOLlNC iAA4SS1OAA-
Like all detectives, whether amateur or
professional, Mr.. Taggart was close
mouthed and at times his desire to
escape observation and his general air
of secretiveness were positively pain
full. His actions aroused my curiosity,
and during a lull in the political tu-
mutt 1 investigated and, of course,
learned his mission. 1t appears that
some weeks ago there arrived in Logan
g. number of Union Pacific railway
tags, on the reverse side Of which was
printed rhyming jingle, the object OF
which was to influence people against
Bryan and in favor of Mckinley. The
Journal published this doggerel and
it was clipped from its columns by a
San Francisco clipping bureau and for
Warded to Union Pacific headquarters
at Omaha Ed Lomax promptly re-
turned it to the Salt Lake office with
instructions to investigate the matter,
and Mr. Taggarts mission to Logan
was in accordance with the edict OF
his chief. From what l consider a
good source learn that, notwithstand-
ing the belief that exists to the con-
trarv, the Union Pacific is not engag-
ing in politics to any great extent this
wear: that its mana gers are in quleS-
cent mood, politically, and that the en-
ploveeS of the road are free to express
their convictions and to vote as they
please l also understand that Genera
Manage" Dickinson denies that litera'
rure Of a goldbug tenor has been sent ou'
nv the company and that il any official
has been instrumental in the dissent
nation of such literature he will, if he
learns of his Identity, at once summon
him to a carpet Interview and furnish
him with his discharge papers. Tht
fact That the Union Pacific has 10 de-
sire TO influence its employees will bt

its lines in the west and will add heav-
lily to the vote that will be polled fol
BRYAN and Sewall in the inland EN-
pire.
A Willy POLITICIAN.
In my letter from Logan 1 mentioned
the fact that V. Rapp. an attorney-at
law. was believed to be active in pro
noting dissension in the Democrats
ranks Mr.. Rapp is a clever poll
tician and is believed to be the man
ager of Senator Browns interests il
this county. His cleverness was shown
at the recent Republican county con
vention 1t was / am told, silve
convention and yet he. by clever ma
njpulation. succeeded in naming tn
Mckinley delegations to both the Mt
Pleasant and Ogden conventions Hi
following however, is small. It coul
not be otherwise in a county whicl
will. 1t Is cOnSerVaI1Ve1y ESTIMATED
poll from 70 to 80 per cent of its Vot
for Bryan and Sewall.
THE LEGISLATIVE NOMINEES.
Cache county is the Second senator
ial district and the Second representa-
tive district. It's candidate for senate
IS Joseph Monsoon, and for representa-
tives. Joseph Kimball of Logan, l. c
Thoreson of Hyrum and Moroni Pric
of Snithfield.
Joseph Monsoon. the Democratic can
didate for senator, is well and favor
ably known throughout the state, be
cause of his good work as membe
of the legislatures of 1894 and 1896 Hi
record as legislator has earned 70
him the sobriquet of Honest Joe,
and no party member stands bette
with his party. On all questions af
fecting the interests OF the people h
is sound, and conservatism is a par
of his nature. Monson is not an orator
but he can express his desires in
straightforward, manly way and is
valuable man in committee. He wa
born in Logan in February. 1862, bu
has resided in Richmond since infan
cy. For years he was member of tn
Richmond city council.
INGWALD c. THORESON.
Ingwald c. Thoreson, a candidate fo
representative, for over thirty year
has been a progressive citizen. H
