fairs to discharge the duties Of auditor
as very few persons are. The voters of
this county will make no mistake in Sc
iecting her for the office
Your Uncle John L, Dolly must have
been absent from his headquarters on
Richards street yesterday, for right in
front stood a sign announcing: Voters.
If you can trust party with the presi-
dency OF the nation, you can trust 1t with
the affairs of the county. Vote for the
party that made a silver victory possible.
Mark your cross up by the rooster and let
it go at that" The other side read: The
county is in debt $3.50, 9S2. 10. Taxpayers
will you re-elect the men who helped put
1t there2 a vote for Armstrong, Rawlins
and Hall is vote for Honesty, Economy
and Reform"
Geddes' personal organ, the Tribune, is
STRIVING to defeat Armstrong on the
grounds that at one time he is said TO
nave declared: 1.-The people be id" 1t
strains at q gnat in order to swallow
It's camel N SO oolng, too. 1ne facts OF
the case are that MIR. Armstrong. with
others, owns a section of land west of
Jofdan, which is crossed by the road
from Bingham. Teams drove across the
same in diagonal direction, cutting il
up in deep ruts. Mr.. Armstrong said
to the taxpayers If they would make their
road follow the section line, according
to law, he would assist in building the
road, hut he did not want the land all
teams. That is all there is to the matter
Joseph, the county surveyor, attempted
TO make bluff by saying the road had
been there for 20 years, when the fact is
that it never was a road in the sense the
term implies at all. 1t was a succession
of trails and those who made them had
no right on the ground. The road should
follow the section line. People living in
the vicinity understand the subject and
the rantingS CT joseph and Geddes Will
not receive attention:
A mass meeting of Scandinavians will
be held at Democratic county head
quarters, 246 State street, on Monday
evening, commencing at 1870 o'clock. G.
G. Johnson, James G. Jensen and Judge
Burton ez VIII be the principal SPEAKERS
recitations. Emil Johnson and Harry
Livingston will give banjo and guitar
duet and Joe Dangerfield and another
gentleman will give harp and guitar
explanation of the Australian ballot sys
TEN in the Swedish language by Charles
Gulbransen. All Scandinavian Demo
Gratis are invited to attend.
The Mckinley people in vain en-
deavor to stem the tide which is flowing
to the Democracy with irresistible force,
are organizing what they call Republican
Silver leagues" throughout the city and
county. These leagues shave the SEM
blance of silver. but in reality are organ
lied for the purpose OF teaching Mckln-
leyism, which is gold, pure and simple.
A man named George Wilson appears to
be the chief organizer, and it is believed
he is working on a dispensation from
Mark Hanna through Senator Brown and
Gus Holmes, both rank Mckinley gold
bugs.
The fact that there are two gentlemen
rejoicing in the name of Taylor running
on the Republican Legislative ticket is the
cause of considerable confusion in the
minds of Republican voters, who find 1t
hard to determine which is which, and
a. V. Taylor's friends are advising him
to issue a card stating that he is not
the ex-dog catcher, w. w. Taylor.
