The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-30

The publication by The Herald yes
terday Of the resolutions passed by the
Wool Growers association at its ses-
sion last April created profound sen
sation among the supporters of the Re
publican ticket. Harker's chances are
decidedly slim, now that his true posi-
ton has been exposed. He has been
posing as friend of silver, and there
were those who would have voted for
him had not the mask been torn off
and he left standing before the public
in his true light.
Farker is a Brown man and the
records show it.
But Harker is not alone There is the
candidate for the upper house of the
legislature in the district which is
composed of Box Elder and Tooele
counties. He is member of the same
association and although his name
does not occur in connection with the
resolutions, it is understood he en-
dorsed them in all they express.
Mr. Sharp, the gentleman alluded to.
is running against w. G. Nebeker for
the state senate. In the Tooele
Transcript a short time ago he made
-
for silver. That is all right so far as
it goes. Arthur Brown is for silver,
100. The miners in his district now
want TO know how Mr., Sharp is for
silver. If he stands by these resolu-
tons or not. The voters can govern
themselves by his action in the next
few days, and it is dollars to doughnuts
that Sharp will not say a word on the
matter
Sharp is Mckinley man and will
vote for Mckinley, if all reports be
true. His neighborS say he will and
that he is making an effort to carry
the district in which he resides for the
gold standard candidate, William Nc
Kinley. jr., of Ohio.
Nebeker is a silver man. He Will vote
for William j.. Bryan at this election.
He will vote for the balance of the
Democratic ticket. In the senate he
Will vote for no man for the upper
house of the national legislature who
does net believe silver is the para
mount issue and wno viii slano f.. 81
Yer first. ard who will say to the men of
the east: You shall not receive from
us the protection to your interests you
demand until you have given TO us the
protection to our interests which we
demand
John Sharp will never make any such
deelaraIion-not if he lives a thousand
years He is welded to Mckinley and
the gold standard, although he con-
tends he is going to stand for silver.
The miners and farmers of Box Elder
and Tooele counties understand this
and will vote for Nebeker.
q e, e,
On Aug. of this year the Wool
Growers association issued an address,
which has been printed and which
the chaHTaan CT ne ks1r5iican
state committee was so anxious to have
sent out that he asked the acting sec
rotary to come over and address about
a thousand envelopes, a task which
the latter declined very promptly end
emphatically. This circular contains
some things which will interest the
miners of the two counties comprising
the district in which Sharp lives. How
does this excerpt strike the men of
Box Elder and Tooele, who have been
commencing Cannon, Allen, Kedrns
and Earl, who bolted the ST. Louis
ccnve1- On:
eve have no use for men who bolt
our conventions, without authority, and
we want them to know it. 1t is the
acme of idiocy to suppose that the
judgment of % is paramount to the
judgment of 800 equally as intelligent
and honorable men. Let US an
nounce at the ballot-box our disap-
prevail Of such men and methods"
How do the silver men of the two
counties comprising the district relish
the following declaration: Fellow
wool growers, the questions at issue
are very easy of solution. They are
free trade, coupled with the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, without the
cooperation of other nations on the
one side; and protection to American
industries by wise and suffi-
cient tariff laws, coupled with the free
coinage of silver by international
agreement, on the other. The
controversy over silver we regard as a
trick of politicians to divert our at
tention from the real issue which Till
give us the relief we desire.
How viii more money help US if it con-
tinues to circulate in the same chan
nels?''
This is the kind of argument the
Wool Growers association, of which
John Sharp is member, is using.
There were some lively times at Re-
publican county headquarters yester-
day. There were meetings, caucuses
and fight. Several hack drivers
called to see the chairman and a few
leaders of the colored and other ele-
ments. Gus had a good time.
To begin with, the chairmen of all
the precincts in the county outside the
city came in to get instructed" That
is what they said and it is presumed
they told the truth.
The meeting was a private one, the
doors being closed to ALL and Old
Man Appleby of the Second acting as

Lippman proceeded to instruct the
grangers on the mysteries of the new
ballot. Joe's address was very affect
ing, many of the unsophisticated being
moved to tears. When he spoke of
marking a cross against the eagle or
the bee hive, it was noticed that a
great deal of interest was manifested.
and one man went so far as to ask:
But The Herald says mark an X up
by the rooster and let it go at that.
Shall we do ft?"
Joe looked at the questioner with a
look of infinite pity and replied.
That's Democratic trick; don't let
them fool you"
But all our people down where /
live are going to do that same thing
replied the man, and then Joe began
all over again.
After the Australian ballot had been
explained the Checkers watchers
and challengers were appointed for the
country districts. Great secrecy was
manifested during all the business. The
judges had orders not to open the en-
velopes in which they We're sealed I'M
til they were far beyond the city limits,
lest some vigiIant Democrat get some
information. and the whole scheme be
exposed. The judges promised compli-
ance and went away in their several
