The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-27

Hon. John Lu Taylor who has an
nounced himself the candidate of the
Mckinley element of the Republican
marty for congress. is exceedingly
wroth at what he considers luke warm
ness Of Chairman Dolly. of the Repub-
lican executive committee. He has
satisfied himself that the interview be-
tween Mr.. Dooly and Joel Shoemaker.
which was published in The Herald a
few days since, was authentic in all
respects. and is convinced that in thus
expressing himself TO one OF the rec
ognized Mckinley leaders of the state,
Mr.. Dooly outlined The policy TO which
he intends 10 stick very closely
throughout the campaign, that is, if
ne is reelected to the chairmanship
This is what has aroused Mr.. Tay-
Tors ire for he believes that no Repub-
hcan is entitled to the name who does
not propose to support the Republican
platform in che spirit and the letter.
and William Mckinley as the candidate
of the party; much less does he believe
a man has any right TO be at the head
OF the party organization who does not
propose TO give the party candidate the
most undertaking, unqualified uncir-
cumscrlbed and unconfined support lhat
he can summon.
Believing thus, Mr. Taylor has been
revolving the subject of Mr. Dooly's
position in his mind since Colonel
Shoemaker's interview with the chair
man appeared in The Herald and yes
terday came to the conclusion thar a
vigorous calling down was what Mr.
Dooly moss needed. Constituting him
self chairman, for he wanted to do the
talking, Mr.. Taylor started out to raise
a delegation Of Mckinley men to ac-
company him on a visit to Mr. Dolly.
He experienced no difficulty in finding
number of gentlemen who enter
tanned the same views as himself and
VINO were willing to become members
OF the delegation bur when he reached
Harry McCallums Office he encountered
all the reserve force of that astute
poIinlcian's conservativeness and after
prolonged argument was convinced
THAT While Mr.. Dolly undoubtedly de-
served lecture, to administer it at
this time was not expedient, as Mr..
DooJy was headstrong and TO beard
the lion i'm his den might do more harm
tHan good. 1T required all the force of
MT. McCallum'S eloQuence to dissuade
Mr. Taylor from his determination. He
assured Mr.. Taylor that such an action
on his part would undoubtedly cause
his chances of securing the congress
slonel nomination to deferiorate. to
which MIR. Taylor replied that it was
matter of principle with him, to
which his congressional aspirations
We're but as a secondary matter, but
he concluded to fOrego his intention of
enhghfening Mr.. Dooiy as to the duties
OF chairman of a political party.
Thus did Mr. Dolly escape hitting the
ceiling with terrific force for Mr.. Tav-
Tor was prepared to speak some pretty
Plain truths out of his righteous indig-
nation ait the treatment McKinley's
campaign IS TO receive from the Repub-
ican organization, in his Judgment.
Mr. Taylor was seen att his Office in
the Eagle block during the afternoon.
He was suffering from a slight indis-
position and was reclining on a divan
when the reporter entered but when
the subject of politics was preached
ana he was questioned concerning his
intended visit to Mr.. Dolly. a patriotic
fire lOindled in his eye, the pain was
gone instantaneously and the old spirit
returning, he addressed himself to Mr..
Oooly most vigorously. Il should like

as the leader Of the Republican party"
SAID he; by what right he occupies the
position of chairman of the organtza-

the candidate of the party ON the plat

the success of the candidate? ann

ton. l wanted to tel him some plain
truths and would have pur sc,ne
things to him that would nave set him

IT.
Mr. Taylor then addressed himself to
the political situation generally. taking
up the subjects of the silver Republi-
cans, whom he declares have left the

ton, s9id he, its absurd; they're no
more Republicans than are the Demo-
Gratis and have no more right to a voice
in Republican convention. Suppose
they were to, hold a convention. 1
wouldn't consider I had any right to
participate in il / would consider ia
dishonoTable to pretend l had and 1
insist that they are in the same posi-
ton wish reference TO a Republican
convention.
'Ine trouble with those who have
left the Republican standard for the
silver fallacy, is, that they haven't gone
into the subject deep enough to fully
understand the financial question.
There are only a few of the most prom
ineTt ones of us. like Senator Brown
and myself, who have. If there were
more there would be fewer boilers. But
I say. let them go over to the Demo-
Gratis; they'll all come back. or the few
who stay will be greatly outnumbered
by the Democrats who will come TO us
TO stay"
Concerning his congressional aspira-
tons. Mr. Taylor said:

said there was not a Mckinley man
who dared to come out for the nomin-
