SALIVA, Oct. 2s.-From Piute coun-
~ to Sewer county is but a step, but
fertility supplants barrenness. thrift
takes the place of apparent poverty,
and pleasant and well-ouilt homes are
to be seen instead of the rudely built
pioneer nuts which dor the landscape OF
Piute, outside of the settlements. 1t
was at Junction, in Piute county, that
Hon A. j. Weber and Sam King separ-
ated for the first time during their cam
paign. Weber continued on to Marys-
vale, while King deployed further into
the mountains His destination was
Coyote, in the Grass valley country,
and his mission was 10 convert, il pos
sible, certain recalcitrant members OF
the King family. In that section reside
four uncles and innumerable cousins.
Talbot and john King are Democrats,
yolney King leans towards Democracy
but is still tinctured with Republican
ism in a mild form, and Thomas p.
King is a Republican of the kind thar
existed thirty years ago and is past the
reforming age. Sam King, / am told,
did his duty nobly. and 10 an audience
composed almost entirely of relations,
preached the gospel of humanity in a
manner that his hearers wiz never for
get. The King forefathers were promin-
ent in revolutionary times and in the
veins Of some of the Kings of today
flows the blood of Patrick Henry, the
patrior who struck the keynote of
American independence, King, the cam
paigner, appealed to the patriotism of
the Kings of Piute with such signal
success that all We're brought into the
silver fold except Thomas f., who will
not vote for his nephew, VIII II. King,
because as he expresses himself,
will is too good a Democrat TO vote
for me if l were a candidate and ] am
too good a Republican to vote for him
although | am proud of him."
SOUTHERN CAMPAIGN SUCCESS
Full.
The entire campaign in the southern
tier of counties was successful, but the
most effective work was done in Sewer
county. The campaigners found the
Democracy of the county, with the ex-
cepton of Monroe precinct, in q badly
organized condition This condition of
affairs they learned to be due to the
apathy of the members and not to de-
1noralization, as the opponents of Dem
ocracy claim. The pronounced apathy
was found to be due to two causes-the
lack of money with which to wage an
aggressive campaign and the dis
grunrled attitude of a number of sore
heads, who, defeated in the convention
are now using the knife of disparage-
ment in order to heal their wounds
Weber and King addressed several
neutrality-suspicious. alone at Annabelia,
VerTnilion and Salina, and King alone
at Elsiaore. Glenwood and Richfield
where he divided his time with Warren
Foster. the Populist nominee for Con-
gress. All We're well attended, but the
largest audience was at Salina, with
Richfield a close second. The meeting
at Salina was the largest in the his
tory of the town. A brass band emily
ened the proceedings and Weber's ora
tory fired the people. Many converts to
the cause of silver were made, a record
also made by King at Richfield. The re-
suit of the meetings was the putting of
some ginger into the anatomieS of the
Democrats, and if the good work con-
tinues victory may be wrested from ap-
parent defeat. The county has been in
the possession of McKinleyites since
the campaign opened. Money is plen-
tifEi among them and that some of
Mark HannaS campaign fund has
seacl1ed Sewer county is apparent i'm
Ihe. furnishings of the Republican head
quarters in Richfield. They are the
best in the state; newspapers from all
over the Union grace the reading tables
and piles of goldbug literature attest
the interest the Hanna COMMITTEES has
taken in Sewer county politics.
