Nc, 1 do not. 1t is an important
issue, but in my opinion, protection is
a far greater issue
Then you indorse Senator Browns

Why will people persist in making
Senator Brown an issue? He is not
an issue and do not think he will be
nominated

HARKER A GoLDBUG.
visited Taylorsville Tuesday for
the purpose of interviewing Henry
Harker who is also a candidate for the
pendent Republican ticket. He was not
at home, having gone to Ais sheep
range the day previous, but neighbors
told me that he was uncomproniSingl
for Mckinley and the gold standard
and staunch adherent of Senator
Browns. He is one of Bill Glassmanns
silver converts, and in his zeal he al
lowed himself to be elected president
of the local branch of the Silver Knights
of America. Harker is also a member
of the Salt Lake County Sheep Grow
ers' association, which last year adopt
ed resolutions endorsing Senator
Brown. Harker's McKinleyism is also
vouched for by w. L. Packard of this
city. who told me today that there was,
no doubt as to Harkers position on the
silver question and of his friendship for
Brown.
sTRATEN FOR SILVER.
Albert c. Straten, Murray's legisla-
tive representative on the state ticket,

Kinley man." said he, land l would
rather go down to defeat a thousand
times before l would endorse his pol
icy or consent to vote for a. man like
Brown. 1 have been employed in the
Hanauer snelter for over ten years and

RENEGADE DEMOCRATS OF
CACHE.
The Citizens movement in Cache
county has resulted in the nomination
of a ticket composed mainly of Repub-
licans. but which is headed by Bishop
Hughes, of Mendon, a disaffected Dem
ocrat The fact that the Republican
party. as a party and in convention,
declined to name ticket, but endorsed
the hybrid instead. proves conclusively
that the movement was, as l stated in
letters from Cache county, engineered
by Republicans, and that persons high
in authority were active assistants.
Private advices from Cache tell the
story The Citizens convention was at
tended by twenty-five so-called Dem
ocrats and by about 100 Republicans.
Among the prominent Democrats was
Charles G.. Hyde, the county recorder,
who failed to secure a denomination
from the Democratic convention. My
correspondent says: 1.-THE fact that he
accepted the nomination on the indie
pendent ticket, goes to prove that his
love for office is greater than his love
for the party" OF different stripe is
N ". Crookston, whom the citizens
nominated for sheriff. He has declined
to run. What action the Democratic
county committee will take is not
known for a certainty, but it is posi-
BILE that Hyde will be asked to resign
the Office that he now holds by Demo
cratic votes and that he. as we'll as the
other Democrats who accepted nomin-
a.ions on the Citizens ticket. VIII be
read out of the party. Chairman
Powers has already issued a ukase to
that effect and will in addition at once
inaugurate campaign in Cache that
will carry the war into the enemy s
camp Most interesting developments
will result.
SILVER MEN TO BE KNITTED.
A strong effort is being made by GER
tain disgruntled politicians to put into
the field a so-called Citizens ticket.
The object of its promoters is to ensure
the defeat of Joe LiDDman, Sam Ken
yon, Albert c. Staten and Jack Daveler
uncompromising silver men and Re
publican candidates for the legislature,
who are opposed to Arthur Brown, and
to elect in their stead men of wishy-
washy and plant natures. The pro-
gramme is to also knife Arthur Par
sons, Republican candidate for asses
sor, in favor of 3. 3. Bittner; Martin
Christopherson, candidate for county
commissioner, for the benefit of Cap
tain Egan, and Geddes, also a candi-
date for county commissioner, for some
patriot as yet unnamed. Today the all
was full of rumors and several nom
inees on the county ticket were busy
fixing their fences. Mckinley men de-
clare that the disturbed nominees are
chasing a rainbow and that the move
ment has been abandoned.
BEN HARRIsONS RAKE-oFF.
/ was shown a letter today which
was received by well-known resident
from friend who is in an eastern
state. The writer states that in the
banking business he has witnessed
many queer proceedings, and then re-
1ates the following, which he pro-
nounces the queerest OF all: Some days
ago a Vanderbilt check, signed per
