uTAH's MIDSUMMER FESTIVAL.

A number of prominent citizens,
backed by the approval and to be helped
by the aid of the chamber of commerce
have decided that there shall be held
in this city on the End, 3rd and 18th
day of July a Midsummer Festival;
first, for the purpose of giving our
own people an opportunity for a grand
jollification, in which they will in be-
coming manner celebrate the nation S
birthday for the first time under state
hood; and, second to attract the at
tention of outside people to Utah, that
they may at once become acquainted
with Utah people; Utah's sociability
and hospitality and also with Utah S
climate, scenery, fruitfulness, industry,
wealth, progress and general desira-
capital and for the establishment of
homes.
1t is a proposition that combines en-
joyment and business; merriment and
advertisement; fun and progress; an
outburst of happiness and an invitation
to all worthy people of our country to
come and participate in it with US,
not only temporarily. but permanently
in fact to become one with us and
of US, and help make our Utah a grand
old commonwealth.
There can be no doubt but what this
is a worthy undertaking, both as a
reunion of our own people, and as a
business proposition in advertising our
state.
To make complete and 'overwhelm-
ing success of it, however, will require
the complete harmony and united and
energetic effort of our whole people.
Nothing short of that will produce the
desired results, and that we must have.
Shall we not have it, fellow citizens?
Shall not our whole country be made
to bear witness that in Utah there lives
a happy, a prosperous and united peo-
pie, proud of their state, and confident
in her future glory and greatness?

INDIANA DECLARES FOR M'K1NLEY

1t was somewhat of surprise to the
country the other day when the Illi-
nois Republican state convention in
structed its delegates to St Louis for
Mckinley 1t was known that Cullom
was a candidate and expected and was
making fight for the delegation from
his own state. But he did not get it.
receiving in lieu thereof an honorable
mention in the resolutions; nothing
more. Now Indiana, thought to be an
other doubtful state, wheels into the
Mckinley column. The anti-McKinley
forces in the Republican party con-
ceded that when Illinois went for the
Ohio man it made his nomination at
St. Louis almost certain. Indiana go
ing for him must convince them that
hope itself is gone.
1t is true that some time ago ex-
President Harrison said he would not
be candidate. 1t is also true that the
declaration was regarded as having
something of a string to it. There was
in General Harrison's statement moth
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-05-08

ing to warrant any inference that it
was not honest and sincere, save the
we'll known fact that politics makes all
men doubters and many of them liars
The possibility that the Indiana con-
vention would come out for Harrison
lent an element of uncertainty to the
whole situation, and caused much in
terest as to what it's action would be.
That is settled now. Harrison is not
a candidate and Indiana is as enthusi-
astically for Mckinley as Ohio is
After the question of candidate the
most interesting one of all, in fact al
most before that of a candidate, is the
one of money. The Republican conven-
ton of Indiana straddled the question
more completely, if possible, than the
Ohio convention. 1t favors the use of
silver as currency, but to the extent
only and under such regulations, that
its parity with gold can be maintained
and in consequence, we are opposed to
free and unlimited and independent
coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to l."
Such a plank can be made to mean
anything or nothing as circumstances
may demand. And it is for just such
reasons that it was made that way.
The only thing positive, if positive it
be, is that the Republicans of Indiana
are opposed to free and unlimited and
independent coinage of silver at a ra-
ito of 16 to 1.
The convention of course declared
for protection, lauding Mckinley as the
protectionist par excellence.

TILLMAN is A CANDIDATE.


It has been quite evident for some
time that Senator Tillman was taking
himself seriously as a possible presi-
Dental candidate While this is So
it was thought scarcely possible that
he would allow that one little bee to
sting his head until it swelied to the
size 1T has. He is really a candidate,
and so announces himself in letter
to DR.. A. G. Rell, of Denver. His letter
runs as follows:

Aonal conventions to put me forth as

forces, then the announcement of my
candidacy at this time would do more
harm than good. If the masses of the
people want me. the politicians will
lind it out, and then will follow with a
keen nose the way the people are go

late conventions will hold back. The

To put the case just as it is, the
senator from South Carolina simply
makes himself ridiculous. To what

He is good friend of silver, but
the silver men in either of the great

would not choose him for their
standard-bearer. The Populists would
scarcely want him. for he has not
been thoroughly identified with them,
and then they have older and more
tried leaders in whom they have
greater confidence The Democrats
certainly will not choose him, and he
is not likely to be picked up by the
Republicans.
But the senator says ''if the mass

will find it out. This is very true, but
the senator need not lie awake at
night waiting for the people to call
him. Before that time comes he will

M,k1N1EY AGAINST FREE COINAGE.


1t cannot be denied. that at the pres
ent time all the indications are that
Major Mckinley will be the nominee of
the ST. Louis convention. The way in
which state convention after state con-
vention is 1nstructing for him makes
this seem almost sure. 1t also shows
that the various states have about
come to the conclusion that he may
write the financial plank of the Repub
lican national platform to suit himself.
In view of all this it becomes Of much
Importance TO know what sort of a
financial plank he will write if given
the opportunity. He is said to have
written that in the Ohio platform, and
he has made no denial of it. What is
he liable to do at ST. Louis?
The Chicago Times-Herald of Tues
day last had an article on the ques-
tfon. In full face type it said:
A year ago in ThOmnsvilIe, Ga.
Minor Mckinley, when offered the
delegates of three southern states
if he would declare for free silver,
said in tn presence of the editor of
this journal: "If the Republican
platform declares for free coinage 1
will not be candidate. l would
not run on free silver PLATFORM"
That is the most positive declaration
we have seen regarding McKinley's at
titude on the silver question. He de-
clares in as strong and plain terms as
possible that if the Republican plat
form declares for free coinage he will
not be a candidate; that he would not
run on free silver platform.
What do the Republicans of the sill
yer producing states think of such a
declaration as that?

An interesting suit has been begun in
the United States circuit court at
Cheyenne. It is suit brought by the
government against Marshall Field and
Levi Lester of Chicago and James H.
Pratt of Denver, to compel them to
take down fences from government
lands, which it is contended they have
enclosed unlawfuily. The lands in cues
tion aggregate 5000 acres, and are in
johnson county Similar suits are to
be commenced against all persons in
Wyoming who have government land
enclosed. 1t is not at all unlikely that
there are plenty of grounds for such
suits in Utah. This fencing in Of gov
eminent lands generally occurs when
railroad lands have been purchased,
they being alternate sections; and
where any considerable number have
been bought the fencing of them in viii
enclose government land. This suit
against Field and others may have its
origin in circumstances similar to-
these.

TALES or THE DAY.
Senator Mills Tells nm Anecdote

Senator Mills Tells nm Anecdote
Which is Received with Cheers.
When Senator Mills delivered his great
speech on Cuba in the senate on Tues
day, says the st. Louis Republic" a
speech described by that competent critic
Senator Morgan of Alabama, as males
| tic and splendid and brilliant oratory,"
he related an incident that called cheers
from the galleries and aroused deep in
terest on the floor of the senate. Mr.. Mills
was describing the cruelty of the Span
lards and their habitual murder and vio-
lation of women. Then he drew this
contrast:
Mr.. President, while thinking of the
slaughter of this girl, who attempted
to save her father. there comes up in
my mind the recollection of an incident
that occurred in Alabama during our
civil war. A colonel of an Ohio regiment
was in command of a district of North
Alabama, within whose lines the family
OF a confederate officer resided. Some
times the bold rebel would slip through
the lines, undiscovered, and visit his
family. On one occasion he was discov-
cred by some one more DEVOTED to the
Union than his personal welfare. In
formation was given to the colonel COM
manding the district, who took half
dozen of his men and under cover of
night went to the house to capture his
confederate foeman. Arriving at the house
he rushed in the door, pistol in hand,
and found the Confederate soldier in the
midst of his family, his pistol and belt
lying upon the bureau and within reach
OF his daughter, a beautiful girl of Is
summers. In an instant she grasped her
ather's pistol to shoot in defense of her
fathers. person. The colonel sprang for
ward and seized the pistol in her hand
to disarm her. Not being a Spanard, it
never entered his mind to shoot her. In
the struggle her pistol fired and she was
shot through the hand, but her father
succeeded in making his escape. The gal
liant officer returned in a few days to
see about that wounded hand He came
again to express his profound regrets
for that wound, and again and again
to hope for its early recovery. He did not
stop coming till he carried that hand
off with him. clasped in his. 1t is his
hand now, and has been for thirty years.
Around that family hearthstone there
stands group of noble sons, half Yam
kee. half Southern, but all Americans.
We did not shoot women and children.
We did not shoot prisoners in our great
civil war
Soon after the senator concluded his
speech L met him and inquired regard
ing the identity of the Ohio colonel and
the fair Alabama Confederate. He told
me he referred to an incident in the
lives of Colonel S. w. Fordyce and his
accomplished wife. Col. Fordyce is the
president of the st. Louis Southwestern
railroad, and is known and loved from
the lakes to the Gulf.

MIR. CANNON AND SILVER.

Hon. George Q. Cannon appears to
take a rather gloomy view of the cause
of silver since his return from the east.
In his interview with a Herald re-
porter, published in yesterdays issue,
he is represented as having said:
OF course one cannot be in the east
when politics is the absorbing theme
and fail TO take note of the predomi-
nant. features. In this way two things
impressed themselves upon me very
forcibly. They were the very great SEN
timent in favor of Mckinley for pres
ident and the very discouraging out
look for silver. do not say this author
itatively as the result of any inquiry
or investigation, but merely from the
utterances of the prominent people
with whom 1 came in contact, but it
seemed to me that the cause of the
free coinage of silver has never been
so far from the realization of the hopes
Of it's advocates as now. There is GER
tainly everywhere in the east a great
cutlery going up against it.
Westerners, however, at any rate
Democratic westerners, must not be
discouraged by these impressions of Mr..
Cannon. 1t must be remembered in
the first place that his associations
while in the east, being first of all en-
business connected with his railroad
interests, would throw him in contact
chiefly with capitalists, whose hostility
to silver is weli-known; while his po-
litical associations would be principally
with those of his own political faith,
the Republicans, who are also known
to be hostile 90 silver; and from such
associations he very naturally would
be impressed with the idea that the
cause of the free coinage of silver has
never been SO far from the realization
of the hopes of its advocates as now
And that doubtless would be true if
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-05-08

the fate of free coinage of Silver were
left to the Republican party and east
ern capitalists to decide. But the Amer
lean people have yet to be heard from;
and the political party of the people,
the Democratic party, has yet to speak;
and we are very far from believing that
TINS Is silver's darkest hour. Or if it
De, then we shall still believe that it is
that darkest hour that is said to pre-
cede the morning; and which morning,
as figuratively associated with this
subject, will bring to the people the res
toratlon Of the white money metal.
