CHICAGO. July 6.-Judge Powers, of
Utah, is among the delegates who have
received letters from a bankers firm of
this city in regard TO the effect that a
silver declaration would have upon the
business interests of the country. In this
letter it is stated that $4Sl, 600 have been
invested through the firm in Utah.
Referring to the circular Judge Powers
said:
If this company and the clients of that
concern do not care to play in our back
yard they need not. If they do not want
TO invest in Utah some one else will.
Their clients will receive whatever is due
them, for Utah will pay dollar for dol
lar, as nominated in the bond If these
bankers think they can intimidate and
prevent US from carrying out the will of
our constituents by covert threats then 1
say to them that we are not brought Up
in the mountains to be scared by owls.
If they intend to help create financial
panic in order to drive eople to support
the gold standard, 1 have only to say to
them that in pulling out the pillars of
the financial temple they will bring the
edifice upon their own heads as wen as
ours, and we can stand it as well as
they. 1 think the bankers had better let
us run politics our own way and devote
their attention to business. Perhaps there
would be fewer failures"

WEST OF THE RIVER.
These states comprise all west of the
Missouri river except California and
the two Dakotas.
The meeting was organized by the
selection of ex-senator Martin of Kan
sas as chairman and L. T. Dashed of
Texas as secretary. In taking the
chair Senator Martin made vigorous
speech in support of the Bland candi-
dacy. On a call of the states a dele
gate from each of the states repre-
sented, spoke of the Bland sentiment.
Governor Overmeyer of Kansas de-
clared Bland was the only candidate
who could be sure Of carrying Kansas,
and that the delegation from that
state would stand for him first, last
and all the time. Representative
Bailey of Texas talked in vigorous
style in support of Bland, but eau
toned the friends of the Missouri can
didate to be prepared for that opposi-
against the foremost candidate.
Speeches were made also by represen-
tatives from Indian Territory, Utah,
Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Colorado They were uniformly en-
thusiastic and voiced the sentiment
that Bland was such an exponent of
silver as TO make him the
STRONGEST AND MOST AVAIL
ABLE
candidate in the western states.
One of the strongest speeches was
made by Buck Hinrichsen of the
Illinois delegation, who is regarded as
next to Governor Altgeld in influence
in that delegation. He spoke strongly
in favor of Bland and expressed the
opinion that the forty-eight votes of
Illinois would be given to the Mis-
souri, candidate.
No action was taken beyond hearing
the reports of the various states and
exchanging congratulations on what
the Bland managers regarded as a
most favorable showing. They pointed
out in particular that the caucus was
representative Of the western states,
and besides these Bland had large
following in the south. The sentiment
was that the delegates of the west,
having thus met in caucus and
EXPRESSED THEIR PREFER
ENCES.
should now exert their influence upon
the delegates of the south with a view
to persuading them that the west and
the south united could command the
situation.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again at 10 o'clock tonight, at which
time further accessions were ex-
pected. 1t was explained that the
two Dakotas and California were not
represented by reason of the fact that
the delegations from these states had
not caucussed. The Bland managers

The Herald special car with the Utah

seeking hotel accommodations met at the

was filled with callers all day and the

DR.. Ellen B. Ferguson, who comes as
one of the four women delegates elected
from Utah, was besieged by interviewers
today.
She will be the only women member Of
the convention. Mrs. Ferguson stated to
interviewers her belief that $1,000 women
would vote in Utah this fall, and that a
vast majority of them would vote the
Democratic ticket. The Utah delegation
held a caucus at II O'clock this morning.

The Boies Boom.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The managers of the
Boies campaign say they are very much
encouraged by the reports received today
from their scouts and skirmishers, who
have been canvassing the incoming dele
cations. They declare Boies has developed
a great deal of unexpected strength, and
that he is the second choice of two-thirds
Of the delegates. They are sensible of the
rise in Bland stock, but they say that
Bland will never be able to secure two
thirds of the convention, indicating that
the Boies men will not favor the abroga-
ton Of the two-thirds rule The Boies
men think the prejudice against the Sc
lection of a southern man will operate
against Mr.. Bland and prevent his nomin-
action. The Boies men say that as soon
as il becomes apparent that Bland cannot
be nominated Boies will, be selected.

Three days of carnival did not seem to
have exhausted the pleasure loving pro-

of the carnival visitors who remained
over Sunday, to the extent of detracting
from the business of the lake resorts
yesterday. On the contrary, both places
did a heavy business and a t Saltair. it
was better than on any Sunday yet.
A great many went out on the morning
train with their luncheons and remained
the day, but the greater number pre-
ferred to sleep in the morning and took
advantage of the afternoon to swim. All
during the latter half of the day, the
water was spotted with bathers and in
the evening large numbers loitered IN the
cool breezes and listened to the music.
The temperature of the water was just
right to make bathing a pleasure and
the day. though very much less exciting
was apparently as fully enjoyed as any
of the three preceding ones.
