committee meets tomorrow niuht tn con-
slider the Democratic proposition. Chair
man Aver said today, conliClentially. that
1T would not be accepted in it's present
shape, He said the Populists were s;ltis-
lied with their Congressional arrange

alone remained possible with the Demo-
Gratis was the displacing of Watson dem

outcome.

BANK OF SALT LAKE

William B. and Frank L.. Holland
Deny an Unfounded Statement.
Dear Safeguarding our reported
connection as partners of Mr.. James
h. Bacon in the Bank of Salt Lake
the. failure Of which none deplore more
than ourselves, we desire to state the
following:
We have never been partners of Mr.
Bacon. We have never said to any
body that We were partners We have
never held out to anyone in any way
that we We're or ever had been part
ners with Mr.. Bacon in the Bank of
Salt Lake, the First National Bank of
Mercur, or any other business enter
prise in which he has been engaged.
Further, our business relations with
Mr.. Bacon at all times since coming
among this people have been simply
those existing between employer and
employee. We have received salaries
for our services and there the matter
ends in truth and justice.
Our advice or counsel has never been
asked nor given as to business policy
or the acceptance or refusal of securi-
ties in the course of business.
This attempt on the part of credit
ors to drag US in and cover us with all
kinds of scurrilous scandal does us the
grossest injustice.
The above is the absolute truth,
which an honest investigation will es-
tablish. Meanwhile we know of moth
ing we have ever done that we should
be pursued by either covert assaults or
open innuendoes. Very truly yours,

The electors will meet in various dis

A letter is published today from Hon.
Matias Romero. Mexican minister at
Washington, resigning his post on ac-
count of an article published in an Off
cial journal during the tendency of the
Guatemalan question, and which Minister
Romero felt TO be severe in its Judgment
OF his views regarding the proper settle
ment of that question.
Minister Romero reviews his patriotic
labors in behalf of the country, often
at great personal cost and inconvenience,
he adds: I have continued in my post
believing my long residence in the United
States, my knowledge of its public men
and above ALL the kind welcome | have
fortunately been given by all classes in
that country would enable me to lend
effective services to Mexico, but If the
caused me to lose the confidence of my
government, 1 shall not remain a single
day longer in that post. and shall regard
it as an especial favor that 1 be re-
lieved of so burdensome an employment in
which it is necessary above all to have
the confidence and the decided support
of my government
Minister of Foreign Relations Maris-
cal, in replying to Minister Romero assur-
ed him of the entire confidence of the
government and says the article in the
official journal was made necessary by an
editorial in an opposition paper which
had awaited itself in making a rude at
tack on the government on the minister S
arguments and that rectifcation in
the official journal did not involve
any reproach, but was an explicit
contradiction of statements made in
opposition papers. In conclusion the
minister urges Mr.. Romero to put
aside the fears which his delicacy have
inspired and continue serving the repub-
lie with his accustomed zeal
The Associated Press interviewed Mr..
Romero tonight to see if he had recon-
sidered his resignation in view of the
fattering terms of the letter of Minister
Mariscal, but he said he could say moth
ing.

During the absence of Rev c. T.

ing filled by DR.. f. O. Holman, and
his success thus far has been pha-
nomenal DR.. Holman is what might
be called an inspirations speaker. lie
has no notes, but speaks with Won
de4'ful clearness and power, and each
discourse has profoundly impressed MS
hearers. Inc congregations have been
growing each Sunday, and yesterday
morning chairs had to be placed in the
aisle to accommodate the people. There
is an utter absence OF the least sug-
gestion of sensationalism in DIR. Hol-
mans d!scourses, nor is there the
slightest straining for effect. 1t is his
own deep earnes lness, the soundnesS
OF his reasoning and the beauty of
the language in which his thoughts
are clothed that make him so erfec-
tive.
Yesterday morning he spoke upon
Faith d subject suggested by a
member of the congregation, and he
was listened TO with wrapt attention.
Any synopsis would fail to do justice
to his sermon but it is safe to say
that it cleared up the ideas of many,
and that there were none to dissent
from his views.

TARSNEY ON SILVER.
SILVER MEN WILL HAVE A MAJOR
ITY AT CHICAGO.
vention so Hard to Forecast
Thinks the "SiIver Folly" Will
Not Last More Than Year or
Two.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 2S.-Hon.
John c. Tarsney, eX-congressman from
this city, and recently appointed
United States judge at Oklahoma, is in
the city on a short visit From here
he goes to Chicago to attend the Dem
ocratic national convention. When
asked what he thought the Democratic
convention would do on the silver ques-
ton and whom he thought would be
nominated, Judge Tarsney replied
without hesitation:
THE silver men will have majority
and will doubtless nominate the candi-
dates. Beyond that it is Impossible to
say what will be done. There never
was a national convention which it is
so hard to forecast. No one can tell
what may transpire for there are dele
gates coming together from so many
portions of the country each deter
mined to carry out instructions on the
money question given by their various
states. One section of the country will
be opposed to the other and there will
be many delegates who will have no
compromise to offer
After ALL continued Judge Tars-
ney, Slowly, IF it should carry the
country and become embodied into law,
this folly will not last more than
year or two. l shall rely on the pa
triotism of the legislative branch of
the government to prevent the dis
turbance of our currency laws, and,
while voting for the free silver noni-
nee, will use every effort to prevent
the enactment of 16 to l free silver
measure
do you think the party, in declar-
ing for free silver in this way, be-
comes what might be termed another
party or new party in any respect?"
Not at all. This is simply a dues-
ton of legislative detail. The cardinal
principles of Democracy are unchanged
and the party remains intact Neither
free silver nor the single gold standard
can ever be called principle of the
Democratic party. 1 am a Democrat
and would MOI sacrifice the principles
of the party merely because some leg
islatiye detail which it may endorse
is in opposition tc my opinion If the
anti-free silver Democrats should bolt,
where would they go? l could never
vote with the Republican party. with
whose principles I am irreconcilably
opposed, and will always be a Demo-
crat while the party sticks to its prin-
ciples. BY party principles 1 under
stand problems that embody theories
of government and no mere matters of
policy in legislation"

in good hurnor On the big steam
ships, carrying hundreds OF passengers
each trip, a death is no uncommon
thing, and if there are friends of tine
dead person aboard they are likely to
have the body brought to port. 1t has
become common custom, too, to ship
the bodies of persons who have died
abroad home by steamship, and on
several occasions small mortuary
chapels have been constructed aboard.
Otherwise the collins are carried as if
they were an ordinary part of the
ships cargo.
The skipper already quoted told of
one of the many examples of the
sailors superstition on the subject
that had come under his observation.
A friend of his was a few years ago
commanding 4 big clipper ship en-
gagged in the South American trade,
He was kindly man and sailors were
always glad to ship with him. not only
because of his not being hard task
master, but also because his ship was
known as good feeder" which is
the highest encomium Jack can pro
nounce upon skipper or vessel. On his
last voyage the captain was bound
from Callao for Antwerp with a cargo
of fertilizer. He fell sick and died
soon after passing the Horn. His
body was prepared and boxed and
placed below in the depths of the
cargo.
The first mate, who succeeded to
the command, was not the best of
sailors or popular with the crew. Head
winds and gales were encountered in
rapid succession, and the grumbling
of the men soon broke out into almost
open mutiny. Il was the presence of
that body in the hold of the ship that
was causing all the trouble, and it
must be got rid of. The men went aft
and so informed the mate, and then
without ceremony heaved the body of
their aake captain over the side
Whether the weather improved then
the skipper couldn't say. But he was
certain of one thing, and that was
that seamanstip and superstition,
which always go together, would be
things of the past when the paint
scrubbers' and iron FOUNDERS have
crowded the real sailormen off the
seas-NeW York Tribune.

Opal. wyo., June 27-Manager
Knutsford: Please notify wool buyers
at hotel that there is half a million
pounds wool for sale here.
RATHBUN & MILES.
In consequence of the above dispatch
which was tackled up in the Knutsford
yesterday, there was great consterna-
ton.
Ludwig Eiseman took long look at
it and said: Il wonder if dot was a
joke?"
why, no. Ludwig; Burke is on the
way row. He left the hotel not an
hour ago"
Ludwig explained that no one could
get ahead Of him, so he packed right
up and left.
What schemers wool men are and
how they do josh one another. Poor
little Ludwig will find when he gets
there that the wool has been pulled
over his eyes, and that Opals are very
unlucky.
Some one looked in a mirror at the
hotel last night and said: Il can see
fat little Ludwig in there, can't you?
There's q, broad. healthy grin ON his
chunky coUntenance. and he is telling
Rathbun and Miles that I vas gom-
ing anyway
