MAY CAsT 4 VOTE.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA Sun spe-
cial from Montgomery, Ala. says:
Bryan is almost sure to lose one Of
Alabama's electors. NJ. D. Selbert
(Democrat), from the Seventh DIS
trict, died suddenly on Sunday. The
tickets have been printed In all the
counties and cannot be reprinted
Democratic managers have sent in
stTuctions out to voters 10 scratch Sell
bert and substitute c. C. Appleton. A
third of the voters cannot read, and
have been instructed to choose their
pominees numerically, as the names
appear on the ticket. These Hitter
ates naturally will vote for Seibert
so will many others who win not learn
of his death. Another complication is
that j. B. Appleton is Popu;dst
elector from the Seventh district. Dem
ocraFs here confess the chances are
that Seibert's death will cost Bryan
an electoral vote

seph v. Robinson, candidate for SER
ator from this district Mr. Robinson
made an exceptionally strong argument
on the money question and reviewed
the financial history of the country
from 1873 TO the present time and de-
nounced in very forcible language the
pernicious financial legislation en-
gineered through congress by the Re-
publican party. Mr. Robinso,'s argu
ments throughout were unanswe-slble
and viii add great strength to his sup
port here.
1t was announced that Fisher Harris
would speak, but he was detained in
Salt Lake and ii was impossible for
him to be present. DIR. H. j. Faust was
the next speaker. He spoke of the
merit of the Democratic candidates and
admonished his audience to elect a
congressman and a state legislature in
sympathy with Bryan. Mr. Faust also
gave few instructions on the Aus
tralian ballot He said the only way to
sbe sure of the ticket was to put an X
up by the rooster and let it go at that.

Them for their untiring efforts.
c. NJ. Nielsen, Esq. of Salt Lake,
expounded Democracy and silver to a
good-sized audience of Scandinavians
at Hyrum last evening. He proved
beyond a doubt that the Democratic
party in this campaign had espoused
the cause of the masses of the people
of the United States, and, in fact, all
humanity; and that all true Ameri-
cans, in justice to themselves and
their fellow men, ought to support the
entire Democratic ticket and place
their x up by the rooster.
Cache county, to all appearances,
will double her former Democratic ma
jority, although every power and in
huence in the possession of some men
are used in favor of the Republican
Citizens movement" and it is almost
apparent that Arthur Brown or some
other aspirant of his ilk is making tfrs
election of the legislators the only
object of the move.

Vasrancy.
Frank Robertson, the young man
who was responsible for the downfall
of Josephine Littlefield, whose story
was told in the papers yesterday, was
yesterday charged with vagrancy and
his trial is set for today. City Prose-
cutor Shoup was asked yesterday why
the charge placed against Robertson
was not more severe, when he replied
that a conviction for vagrancy per-
mitted of a heavier penalty than any
other charge under a city ordinance,
and that as the county attorneys Of
flee had taken no steps in the matter,
he had decided to prosecute him on
that charge. Mr.. Shoup expressed the
belief that there was sufficient evil
dence to convict the man of pro-
curing, but it was the county attor-
ney's duty, and not his, to bring such
a charge.

THE LAW VIOLATED.

Section 80, laws of Utah, relating to
county governments, says: mo mera-
Der of the board must be interested,
directly or indirectly, in any property
purchased for the use of the, county,
nor in any purchase or sale of the prcp-
erty belonging to any county nor in any
contract made by the board, or other
person, on behalf of the county for the
erection of public buildings, the OPEN
ing or the improvement of roads, or the
building of bridges
1t will not do to say that the lumber
was specially adapted to the
needs of the county and was
sold cheaper than other firms sold
it, The law says that officials shall
not deal that way. and the law should
have been obeyed.
These are matters too serious to be
dispensed with by parading columns of
figures showing how much was turned
over the county by the coroner. how
much by the county to the coroner, and
similar i.ems.
Both the Ogden Republican papers
in their last nights issue copied bodily
much of the matter which the Tribune
paraded with such show. They copied
errors and all, and do not need TO be
specially referred to.

WAYS THAT ARE DARK.

The addition and subtraction of the
above is correct but notice how adj
roitly the expenses of the fore part
and the latter part of the year have
been estimated. The first estimate
closes at June 80, while the second be-
gins at Oct. "a. This leaves the period
between those two dates unaccounted
for In other words nearly third of
the years expenditure is totally ig-
nored.
Furthermore no mention is made of
the s25,000-an extra $1,000 having late
Iy come in-worth of registered war
rants now drawing interest because the
county has no money to pay them.
1t is clearly a waste of time to point
out the other manifest taisrepresenta-
lions with which the Tribune article
teens. Those two corrections are
nearly sufficient to wipe out the boosted
but fictitious surplus.
But the most serious phase of the
irregularities are the ones which the
Tribune ignores. The treasurer is
made the legal custodian of public
money. He gives a bond of $4,000 for
its proper accounting. The county
commissioners, whose aggregate bond
is only $4,000, saw fit to practically
depose him and place the funds in the
hands of other parties who give no
deny that. Instead of attempting it
he recounts a lot of matter about the
excellence of the road up Ogden can
yon and the fact that The Herald has
praised it. The Herald has never for
moment disputed the excellence of
the road nor the fact that it is great
convenience. However, 1t was an ex-
pense which the stringency of the
times and the need of other sections
should have curtailed. 1t Is true that
a numerousiy signed petition asked
that the road be improved but not one
of the signers thought it would cost
anywhere near $4,000, nor need it have
done so. This is not meant as reflec-
ton on the ability of Commissioner
Child's brother-in-law who superin-
tended the work. When given plenty
of money he can make good roads
This was demonstrated in the case of
the North Ogden canyon road built last
year at an expense OF several thousand
dollars.
The point emphasized is that the law
was set at defiance by the commission
ers. 1t is admitted that William G.
Wilson has sold and received money
for hundreds and hundreds of dollars
worth of lumber from the county.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-28

The Herald eongratulates the Tri-
bune on the judicious manner in which
its Ogden department has avoided dis
cussing the work Of two of the mem
bers of the board of county commits
sioners. The Ogden correspondent
adopted the only method possible by
which the cause he sought to bolster
up could receive any benefit whatever.
The fact that there was no defense
force to the writer and consequently
he conceived and carried out
the plan of publishing mass of ir-
relevant facts ard figures with great
show of injured innocence and pre-
tense of -thoroughness in the vain
hope that people would be deceived by
| the mass of matter into believing that
a real defense had been accomplished
when in fact one has not been at
tempted.
The attempt will fail-has failed in
fact, because people will not be fooled
by mere mass of matter which is
totally irrelevant, immaterial and
meant to be misleading.
The Herald has charged, and now
charges again that the county COM
missioners borrowed between Dec. 81.
1895, and Aug. 8, 1896, $50, 800. Yet the
Tribune says the county is prosperous
and has been prosperous all the time
The statistics and parade of figures
arranged by the Tribune's inexpert
accountant are not worth the paper
they were written on so far as their
service in showing the condition of the
county's finances is concerned.
The Tribune expends about half a
column trying to show that there were
reasons why greatly increased ex-
penditure was unnecessary this year;
then devotes lot of space to try and
prove that the expenditure was not
made and next attempts to prove that,
though made. it was justifiable. But
for the purpose of showing the way in
which the figures have been juggled
The Herald here presents a section
clipped almost at random from the
labored article.
