ion has had no more persistent oDpo-
nent than our morning contemporary.
On the It'll inst. lit said:
The Tribune would like to see a sill
yer congressman elected and a legisia-
ture which would hold fast Republican
principles in the government of this
state, and which would elect silver
! senator to be a notice to the ReDubli-
can party in the east that the men of
Utah told the truth in the past when
they insisted that silver, protection and
reciprocity made I'D the trinity Of Re
publican belief, but of these three sill
yer was paramount, but the Mckinley
Republicans will not indorse this, and
without it the election might just as
well go to the Populists.
A few days later, commenting on Mr..
yarian's address, our contemporary
said:
The call is all right, but we presume
the chairman, in preparing the call,
omitted to state what was in his heart,
that he would be glad to see the Re
publicans in each county, if possible,
agree to send delegates. not only the
Republicans who propose to vote for
Mr.. Bryan. but also those who propose
to vote for Mckinley electors. that if
possible the party may be held together
on the county nominations, and like
wise in nominating candidates for the
legislature and congress, because, while
silver Republicans propose to vote for
Bryan electors, and propose to be care
tul to vote for a. silver candidate for
congress, and no candidates for the
legislature, who will not, if elected,
make silver the paramount issue in
voting for senator, they go no fur
Their. That is, they want, if possible, to
see the majority of all the Republicans
unite on every office that they can.
AS further evidence of the sincerity
End good faith of the Democrats of be-
ing willing to fuse locally and share the
offices with our Silver Republican
friends, the Democratic state conven-
ton which meets at Provo today to
name a candidate for congress, and
three presidential electors, will name as
one Of those electors a, Silver Republi-
can. This simple fact shows a high
sentiment OF appreciation and graft
tude for the proposed action of the Sill
yer Republicans who are for Mr.. Bryan.
No one. not even our contemporary,
has a higher appreciation of the loyalty
of the Silver Republicans to the cause
of free silver than the Democrats have.
In, view of the facts above stated and
the citations from our contemporary,
whether our contemporary is in any
way warranted in the charge it makes
against the Democrats in regard to
fusion on local candidates sis, of course,
altogether matter of taste and judg-
ment''

ABOUT REGISTRATION.

Numerous complaints have reached
US that the registrars OF voters are not
doing their work thoroughly Back
of this charge there is another one
that they are doing tfledr work in this
manner purposely: that there is a
thorough registration of all who are
known or believed to be in favor of
Mckinley electors but that the regis
tration of those who are known or be-
lieved to be in favor of Bryan electors,
cans, is by no means thorough Of
the truth or falsiEy Of these charges
we know nothing, but they are brought
to us. 1t is true, we are reliably in

THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic state convention for
the nominate of a representative to
congress and three presidential cleo
tors, meets in Provo today. The men
nominated today viii in all probability
be elected in November. The candidate
for congress should be first Of all a
Democrat who is an out and out free
silver man, who cannot be swayed from
his devotion TO silver by any pressure
from any source. Free silver being
the paramount issue, the congressional
candidate must be representative CT the
issue. He should be an able man in
all other respects; he should be a man
well known and popular with the peo-
pie, man who will strengthen and
difference from what part OF the state
he halls There are in the party plenty
of such men: all fhe convention VIII
have TO do is to choose from among
them.
What we have said in regard to the
congressional candidate applies equally
well 70 those who shall be named for
presidential electors. They must first
of all be silver men. pledged to vote for
Bryan and SewaI Into the selection
Of these candidates considerations other
and entirely different from those that
enter into the selection of congress
sional candidate, enter The Silver
Republicans of Utah propose 10 vote
for Bryan and Sewan electors; their
adhesion to the Bryan and Sewan cleo
toral ticket makes it almost absolutely
sure that the ticket will be elected III
Utah. The Democrats generally
throughout the state concede that they
are entitled to recognition on The
ticket: and no doubt il will be cheer
fully accorded. The same question con-
fronts the convention in regard to the
Populists That all just claims in this
regard viii be duly considered there is
no doubt. But whatever is done nom
inees for presidential electors should
be pledged to vote for Bryan and Sew
all
Utah is for free silver, Bryan is for
free silver; Mckinney is for the main
tenance of the gold standard, and is
against free silver. There should be no
in the world whether Bryan
electors viii be elected in Titan.

According to figures published by

into voting for Mckinley and a gold

in wages in the event of the triumph
of free silver. The Globe-Democrat is
