Upset the plans FOR Recognition.

PARIS, Oct. 5.-The late departure
of the imperial family from Cherbourg
upset the plans for the reception of his
majesty here this afternoon, and
greatly disappointed the vast throng
of sightseers. 1t is supposed that the
train on which the car is travelling is
running slowly so as to prevent its ar
rival here at too early hour in the
morning.
An immense crowd is gathered about
the station at which the car will ar
rive. They are evidently prepared to
remain there all night, in order TO be
present and witness the cars entry
into the city.
Special guards will be stationed at
the streets opening into the route Of
the procession to prevent the occur
renee of any untoward event.

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 5.-Town
elections were held in all the 16S towns
of the state. with the exception of
Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, An
sonia, Derby and Naugatuck. Returns
show that the Republicans have made
large gains over a year ago, having
nearly doubled their number of towns
from 1893. In Hartford county, in 1895,
the town stood: Republican, II; Dem
ocratic, IA; divided. Z. Returns show
that the Republicans have gained three
towns and the Democrats have lost
one, five being divided. Middlesex

towns against Democratic. In two
towns National Democratic" tickets
were voted for. 1t is probable that the
complete returns viii show that the
Republicans have gained at least 10
towns.

FARMS vs. CITIES.

You come to us and tell us
that the great cities are in
favor of the gold standard.
tell you that the great cities
rest upon these broad and

spring up again as if by
magic. But destroy our farms,
and the grass will grow in the

that today's events would probably de-

mk1NLEr SPEAKS AT LAST.

For two weeks or more past the
whole country has been anxious that
Major Mckinley speak out and tell
what his financial views are. At last
he has spoken and here is what he had
to say:
The greatness of the American peo-
pie is evidenced in nothing more than
in the interest they take in the exer-
else of the suffrage. In every election
they manifest the greatest enthusiasm,
and so long as they do so this nation
is safe from its enemies within and
without The people keep at it year in
and year out and have made office
holding the servitude of the man to
the mass. Public Office is the peoples
honor. Public service we'll done is its
own honor
These are sentiments that ali Ameri-
cans, irrespective of party, will in
dorse. The goldbug and the silverite
alike can accept this, for there is no
straddle there. How beautiful the
sentiment expressed in this sentence:
Public Office is the peoples honor. -
And how equally true is the sentiment
expressed in this sentence: Public
Office is private snap"
We have always felt that when the
proper time came Major Mckinley
would speak out. The proper time has
come. he has spoken out And how
clearly he has defined his financial

MENACE TO THE PEOPLES HEALTH

From gentleman just in from Sum-
nit county we learn that there are
many dead sheep lying along and in
almost all the streams in the |moun-
tains of Summit county. He said he
thought the number was not less than
twenty-five thousand. These sheep
have died as the result of the~cold and
stormy spring. The loss to their
owners is great, but damage to
the people of Summit county
who use the waters from the
mountain streams is very much
greater The decaying and cor
rupting carcasses are but sources of
disease, and disease germs are very
liable to be carried in the waters. The
owners of these sheep that have died
should have removed the carcasses as
far from the streams as possible, while
to allow any to remain in them was
most culpable negligence. If there is
any law aginst such neglect of COM
mon sanitary precautions it should be
enforced against those who have been
guilty of this negligence. If the au-
thorities of Summit county are aware
of the condition of things along the
mountain streams, they should take
immediate steps to remedy it. 1t is a
matter that should at least be looked
into, and Immediately.

DIsINTEGRATIoN OF DEMOCRACY.

The great majority of the Democrats
of the country are for silver and it is
the general belief that the Democratic
national convention will declare for
free coinage. Because of this many
think they see the beginning of the dis
Indignation of the Democratic party.
Those who think they see this are
mostly those who advocate the gold
standard. Consciously or unconsciously,
they make the assumption that the
party is held together by the gold
standard. If the party is really be-
ginning to disintegrate (Which it GER
tainly is noD should not that disinte-
grafton be traced to the attempt of
Mr.. Cleveland and some other leaders
to commit the party to the gold stand
ard? What but the attempt to force
the gold standard upon the party as
its fundamental principle has led TO
so much talk about bolt at the Chi
cago convention? The gold men of
the party have arrogated to themselves
all the virtues of the party. while their
talk has been of the pcEasous-patriotic
kind, as though they a1one were at
tached to the principles of Democracy.
1t is not denied that very many able
and distinguished Democrats are OPP
posed to free silver and believe that
if the party takes it up it will bring
disaster upon the party. If it brought
defeat, that would not necessarily
mean the beginning of disintegration.
The party has often met defeat in
the past third of century, but there
have been no signs that it was going
to pieces. If the very great majority
of the party go over to- free silver,
why should it break up? Is it not
far more likely that the small minority
that would refuse to accept silver
would disintegrate?
Those who predict the disintegration
of the Democratic party forget that
it is not a party of one idea; that its
fundamental principles are those of
eternal liberty; that the great source
of it's life is its faith in the people
and their capacity for self government.
with that Of the nation itself. that
while other parties have come into
existence, run their race, then passed
away, the Democratic party still lives,
having seen all these others die. And
what are the Democrats demanding
today? They are demanding that the
party shall return to the principles of
Jefferson, and Madison and Jackson.
When a party goes back to the prin
ciples of its founders, to the source
of all its inspiration, there is no danger
that it will go to pieces. The danger
that it will is when it neglects to do
this, when it departs from the teach
ings of the fathers and runs after
false gods. Some of its trusted leaders
have been trying to instil into it new
doctrines, to have it forsake the old
ones and follow false gods. It has re-
fused to follow them further, and it
has done well.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Dem ocrats of Utah have met in
state convention and adopted plat
form, elected six delegates to the ma
tional convention and adjourned.
The platform is just what it should
be. It declares adherence to the prin-
ciples Of the Democratic party as an
nounced from time to time, and es-
pecially to those principles announced
by the reconyened convention of 1895.
and declared in favor of the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to l as such coin
age existed prior to 1873 regardless OF
the action or policy of other nations;
gold and silver coin to be a full. legal
tender for all debts public and pri-
waite. That is all the platform contains,
and it covers all the issues of the day.
1t is model.
The delegates were instructed to vote
as unit in favor of the adoption of
the foregoing principle Of free coin
age by the national convention for the
nomination of candidates for president
cerely and steadfastly in favor Of car
rying the principle into operation.
These elected as delegates are thor
oughly representative Democrats and
silver men, and in their hands the
interests of Utah will be safe. The
nomination of Hon. Moses Thatcher
was by reclamation and was re-
markable tribute of respect to that
gentleman. To him it will no doubt be
most gratifying to know how dear he
is to the Democracy of the state. His
election by reclamation was a unique
distinction. In naming three ladies for
alternates the convention extended
well merited recognition to the women
voters. All the ladies named are we'll

should certainly accompany the dele
