MARYSvALE, Oct. 26-In Piute,
Piute is for Bryan and silver and will
elect, so well-informed men tell me.
the entire Democratic ticket.
The population of the county is esti-
mated at 1900, and its registered vote
is about 675, of which Circleville has
17S; Junction, IS; Kingston, AZ; Koo-
sharem, 1853; Wfhnct2s; ATarysvale, 1876.
Piute is the Twenty first Representa-
tive district, anc with Sewer, Wayne
Bnd Garfield forms the Tenth sena-
toriaI district.
James Forshee of Wilmot is the
Democratic candidate for representa-
tive and Charles Morrill, of Junction is
the Republican candidate.
Forshee is a stockraiser, is popular
and is considered able. He is a Demo-
crat through and through, and looks
upon the Chicago platform as his
gospel.
OF THE RIGHT KIND.
Morrill, is a miner and represented
his county in the last legislature. He
Is an uncompromising silver man.
I am for silver" said he, in response
to my query, land consider it the
paramount issue. 1 do not endorse
Senator Brown, and will not vote for
him if he is a candidate for re-elec-
ton
If he is the caucus nominee of your
party. what them"
Il will bolt the caucus. / did it be-
fore when he was a candidate and I'll
do it again.
For senator of the district the Demo-
cratic candidate is l. K. Wright of
Richfeld, Sewer. county. His opponent
Is James K. Bolitho, also of Richfleld.
Bolitho was a member of the last leg
islature and made a good record.
Under normal conditions he would be
sure of reelection, but in his canvass
OF his district he is accompanied by
r. H Whipple, who is a veritable old
man of the sea. He is a McKinleyite
and Bolitho poses as i silver man.
Whipple is muzzled by the Mckinley
state committee and cannot talk freely;
Bolitho wants to talk but ne is afraid
if he does that he will lose Mckinley
votes. Like Holbrook he is between
the devil and the deep blue sea.
BoLITHo's POSITION.
I had a talk with Bolitho today. The
Interview was an amusing one. Whip
pie was present and talked as much as
Bolitho. l started in on Bolitho in the
usual way. His reply was:
silver
What do you want to talk for?" in
teriected Whfpple. ''I't wiz do no good. -
do you endorse Senator BROWNE" 1
uueried.
Now" responded Bolitho. 81 can't
say
Brown is not an ISSUE interrupted
Whipple.
oh, yes, he is" 1 ventured to say.
Al In
not as diplomatic as usual, ''Bolitho
Will be very indiscreet if he allows
himself to be Interviewed
He is of age" 1 responded, and
surely is able to answer for himself"
Yes" was Whipple's reply, but I
know what you are up to. No matter
which way he answers he will get the
worst of it,"
l hammered away at Bolitho just the
same, but all could get out of him was
that in matters relating TO the silver
and senatorial questions he would be
guided by the desires of his constitu-
entS. Later / had another talk with
the genial Bolitho. After again assur-
ing me that he was for silver he said,
In response to a query as TO whether
DR. not he would vote for Brown:
"A majority of the Republican vote
Of my district win rule my vote, and
as ] understand the people of my dis
trict / shall vote according to their
wishes
IF Brown is the caucus nominee of
your party, what then?"
Il shall vote for a protectionist if it
is the wish of the majority of my
constituents"
On the eight-hour law Bolitho is
will advance the interests of labor
MUZZLED REPUBLICAN CAM
PAIGNERS.
Whipple and Bolitho were in Marys-
vale for the purpose of holding a meet
ing, but the hall had been engaged
by the Democrats. Sam King left
Weber at Junction. after holding most
successful meetings at Circleville and
Junction, for Coyote, where he, this
evening, will expound the silver gospel.
Weber was willing to share his time
with Whipple and Bolitho, and the re-
suit was a debate between Whipple
ard Weber, which local enthusiasts now
describe as "a hot number" Whipple
was placed at disadvantage because
of his not being permitted TO discuss
the national candidates by the McKin
ley state committee. His campaign is
of the hokey-pokey, hunkywunk or
der. a sort of a straddle see-saw. and
one in which it is conceded hereabouts
that he is doing more harm to his
party than good Think of Mckinley
stumper not being permitted to eulo-
gize or even speak of his party's cam
didate for president, or to say one
word for fear it might jar the feelings
of a free silver Republican. That is
the position Whipple of Ogden is in.
Bolitho is in a similar Dredicament.
While for Bryan and Sewall and for
silver he dare not even hint that a
McKinleyite is a goldbug. and when
addressing an audience devotes most
of his time to explaining the Austral-
ian ballot. He generally concludes his
turn by saving: Il want it dis
tinctlv understood that am for Bry-
an, Sewall and silveri" Bolitho is on
his way to Garfield county, where nine
tenths of the Republicans are for Nc
Kinley.
WEBER AND WHIPPLE DEBATE.
Weber opened the discussion with
30-minutes' talk. In that time he fea-
tured all the essential points of a two
hours speech He took the position
that silver was the paramount issue;
that the tariff was not an issue. and
that the Republican party of Utah last
year was in favor of the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver without the
consent of any other nation. What
q pitiable spectacle ii is said Weber,
in passionate tones, as he pointed at
Whippie, .'for the Republican party
now to say that this country is so
weak. so cowardly, so servile as to
have to cringe at the knee of En-
gland and beg like a whipped spaniel
