Were Some Very wild Scenes.


paign of last year the Republicans here
were helped in their street parades
and general displays by the c.
E. Loose Silver Marching club,
magnificent organization of
enthusiastic and wide-awake young
voters. Hearing that Mr.. Loose
had remarked that if he had any in
f1uence with the boys they should
march and shout this year for Bryan
and Sewall, the managers Of the rati-
fcation meeting to be held tonight in
Provo approached Mr.. Loose and Sc
cured his hearty consent for the use Of
the equipments of the club in the pa
rade tonight. He explained, however
that he had turned them over to the
Central Republican League club and
the secretary Of that organization was
sought out, who at once wrote the fol-
lowing:
Provo City, July "A, 1896.
ITO the Custodian of Central Republic
can League Club of Provo:
please deliver to Thomas Osborne,
custodian of the w. J. Bryan club of
Provo, all the C. Z. Loose capes, caps
and torches. DAN R. CORAY,
Secretary Central Republican League
Club, Provo. Utah.
Mr.. Osborne being busy, added TO
the order a request of Charles De
Moisey that these things be turned over
to Mr.. Field who presented the or
der, and was politely informed by De
Moisey that he would at once look up
the matter, ascertain whose property
the things mentioned really are, and
in whose possession they are. If it
was in his power to deliver them he
would. In making this inquiry, of
course john c. Graham had to be
consulted, and thus he became ac-
Quainted with the move that is on. He
and his paper are strongly anti-Bryan
and the smallness of his soul could not
let these silver Republicans-bolters
whom he despises-thus get around
him and use anything he might have
control of in any way that would help
them in assisting the Democrats to
make the Bryan ratification meeting
tonight a success in the way of show
and brilliancy. Therefore he at once
bestirred himself called his chief lieu
tenant, John Coltrin, and together they
hied themselves to the Knights build
ing on l street, where the things were
stored, ard from there carted them
away over to the Enquirer office, and
so they will not be used in tonights
parade.
Graham and his clique are moving
heaven and earth to induce Republic
cans to refuse to join in the ratiffca-
ton, but their efforts are mora or less
unavailing, Tor we have here many
enthusiastic silver Republicans, and
preparations Tor the grand ratification
have gone on all day with an enthu-
siasm seldom experienced here, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans working hand
in hand.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
The board of county commissioners
have been in session again ali day re-
ceiying, auditing and adopting reports
of various officers, such as sheriff, clerk
and recorder, coroner, justices of the
peace, road supervisors, etc, for the
quarter ending June 80. The regular
quarterly salaries and bills were also
allowed. H. Oakley of Springville, a
blind man, asked for assistance. His
petition was referred to Commissioner
Reynolds with power to act.
The payment Of bounties for
squawks, looms sparrow eggs, etc, be-
gan today, and Clerk Jones drew war
rants for $40 and distributed them
among seven applicants, mainly boys.
TRIBUNE COMMENDED.
No fewer than a score of earnest
Republicans have approached this
writer since Wednesday and asked him
to say for them that they think the
action Of the Salt Lake Tribune in adj
vislng Republicans 10 vote for the
year is advisable and warrantable, the
assertion of the local Republican or
gan in its issue of the date above men
toned 10 the contrary notwithstand-
ing. They think also that that advice
is good and sound, and ought to be
followed by each and every true silver
Republican in the state. They adj
vance as an argument in support Of
their views not only the urgent neces-
0T ha i'm, nf ell
money of ultimate redemption, but the
fact that both conventions this year
have made concessions on the tariff
question and come as near together on
all questions except the financial Ques-
ton as it is possible for two great
parties to do, and by the election of
Bryan and Sewall with congress as
nearly evenly divided as possible be-
tween the parties. will insure the iiv-
ing up to those pledges and save the
business interests of the country being
seriously disturbed by tariff tinkering,
at least during the four years we mean
TO devote TO the getting Of the bime-
tallic monetary standard established
and in safe and permanent operation
in the United States. The timid cry
of wait, watt being raised by the
Enquirer is denounced bitterly by
many Republicans here. who say that
it is only subterfuge to stay the
silver-Bryan sentiment, and by this
means get more of the voters to give
their votes to the gold Mckinley
ticket, which should be given no sup
port whatever IN Utah.
