II WAS the pleasure and fortu

II WAS the pleasure and fortune
of the editor Of the Broad Ak to
have a three hours interview with
the Hon. Moses Thatcher at his
elegant home in this city this week.
We found Mr.. Thatcher feeling
quite well and greatly improved in
health. While our talk was of q
private nature and not intended for
publication, yet we can say this
brilliant Democrat is as true as
steel to the time honored principles
Of true Democracy and American
ism, and will stand for the interests
of the West as against the money
power in the East in the ensuing
contest. We trust the party will
honor him by putting him at the
head of the Utah delegation to the
Chicago Convention. He desires
to express his gratitude for the
sympathy of the ladies of this city
as exhibited by the floral decora-
tons of his home during his illness;
also for the hundreds of kind and
encouraging letters received from
all classes, creeds, and parties,
which were a source of much COM
fort to him and his family. He
also expressed a warm admiration
for the Broad AK, and heartily en-
dorsed its position on the leading
questions of the day. The Broad
Ak feels well repaid for the time
spent with this grand and noble
man.

which was full of inspiration, and
very patriotic. The principal

the Utah Central Railway, of Salt
Lake, also delivered a short adj
dress, and his words were full of
hope, encouragement and enthusi-
asm for the young. Professor Alb

deserves a great deal of credit for
his untiring efforts in arranging
and perfecting the program, which
was so successfully carried out, to
the entire satisfaction of parents
and pupils. Professor Abbott is
one of the best and ablest instruct
ors in this magnificent new State
