Salt Lake City. Oct. 13, 1896
The presence OF three United States
senators from the outside in this city
at the same time has an uncanny
look. Senator George L. Shoup, of
idaho. Senator r. E. Warren, of Wy
oming. and Senator Redfield Proctor.
os Vermont, are all tarrcd with the
same Mckinley stick. All have given
evasive answers to questions pro-
pounded by interviewers of the daily
press and have by their ccn6ucr and
Ly their intercourse with prominent
citizens of this city demonstrated that
they are here in accordance with pre-
arranged plan. Shoup may say that he
was here for pleasure; Proctor may
declare that he is looking after his
sons graveyard business in the west,
and Warren aver that he is here in
connection with the piano business
he at one time was interested in, but
the facts all point to
A POLITICAL CONSPIRACY
which involves Idaho, wyoming and
LTah in It's meshes.
III has often been said during the
hast year that an attempt would be
made to throw Utah into the Mckinney
column al this election; that persons OF
high standing had promised to deliver
the goods. ard that the welfare OF
great business enterprises depended
upon this compact being carried cut
TO the letter. By many these asser-
A1ions have been received as lille vapor-
&,ngs of minds diseased. but the as
n ep1biing OF the senatorial trio at such
II interesting period in the great cam
paign now being waeed, gives credence
10 The assertions and the tale l will
now endeaVor to relate may or may
not corraborate them. 1t is well known
that some Of our citizens are heavily
INTERESTED IN ENTERPRISES
of railroad nature; 1T is popularity
believed that there are other enter
prises which are expected TO be de
veloped by the railroad enterprises. II
is shown that the success of these
ventures depends upon the securing OF
a heavy lean from eastern finanClers
who are training under the banner Of
Mckinley, but ii is not generally
known that they have written that the
giving of the loan depends upon the
success Of Mckinley al the polls The
Qetter was read at secret session Of the
CITY council. held about six weeks ago
~ this session Senator Frank J. Can
non was present. He asked for an eX-
tension of time in which to perform
the amount of work on the railroad
project whose object il is to connect
this city with the mines Of Deep Creek
and eastern Nevada. necessary to Sc
cure title to Pioneer square, which the
city has

in his declarations that the company
was unable to negotiate loan pro-
duced q letter. addressed to George Q.
Cannon, in which it was stated that the
giving Of the loan depended upon the
election of Mckinley.
The foregoing is one chapter in the
story. This chapter is political in its
nature. 1t is sworn that it is the desire
Of the McKinleyites TO defeat Dubois
for reelection TO the United States
senate. Their ally in Idaho is Senator
George L. Shoup. w. +. Borah. the
Silver Republican and Silver Demo-
cratic candidate for congress in Idaho,
is another silver champion whose de-
feat at the polls is desired In Wyom-
ing bitter fight is being waged and
it is asserted that Senator Warren S
visit to this city is for the purpose of
securing
AID TO INFLUENCE VOTES
in that state Votes in the wyoming
legislature were at one time in
fuenced by agents from this city and
il is not a secret that Senator George
L. Shoup of Idaho owes his position TO
aid received from this city. Bishop
William Bulge of Bear River valley
is credited with being the individual
who carried the Shoun deal to q sue
cessful conclusion. Bishop William
r H. al

the north on Monday at $3.50 o'clock.
Senator Shoup also arrived in this city

wyoming today on the $3.50 train. At

minutes after the arrival of the train,
