Well, the result is that a meeting Of
the committee has been called, and
there is a strong probability there will
be an additional assessment levied
upon the candidates.
There is a feeling of jealousy pre-
vailing among the colored people anent
the nomination of Taylor for the leg
islature, and that he will be cut by
the members of his own race on cleo
ton day, is an assured fact The
workers who have done all the hew-
ing of wood and drawing of water
for some time have been overlooked in
this matter, and are declaring that
Taylor has had a good thing long
enough; that he made coolies of money
as dog catcher, all of which he has
kept, and it is high time he was
checked, lest he get suddenly rich
and forget his friends. In consequence
there will not be many KS against
his name on the day of election as he
could wish for.

The election in this county is going
to cost the taxpayers not less than
SIS, 0G0. There are more expenses con-
nected with the same than one might
presume. To begin with, the cost of
registration will be about $1,000. Then
there is the printing of all the ballots
and the advertising, and the sample
ballots. which will run the amount up
to $1,000 more. The printed matter for
the judges of election, the mailing of
the same and the revising CT all lists
and returns viii cost in the neighbour
hood of $1,000. The booths for the
voters cost $1,000. There will have to
be over $50 special officers appointed
on the day of election, which will cost
the county $780, Other expenses not
calculated will, according to an author
ity in the clerks office, run up to So, 800
more, which will make the total as
stated.
There will be an effort made at the
coming session of the legislature to
have the registration law changed so
that registrars Will sit in certain por-
tons of the precincts and register vot-
ers, instead of having q house-to-house
canvass made. Then no one can say
that neglect has been INDUCED in be-
cause he is not registered. The re-
sponsibility will be thrown on the
voter instead of the officer. The plan
is to have a county official act as reg
istrar and appoint all ASSISTANTS who
shall be required to pass an examina-
ton as to ability. This will do away
with the errors which are now being
made by the several officers in the
spelling of names.
Rev. E. G. Hunt of the NJ. E. church
at Park City. delivered a sermon last
evening which is unlike many of the
addresses of the ministers of the time,
in this that instead of declaring all
voters who intend supporting Bryan
and SewaH anarchists, he announced
that he intended voting the ticket.
The speaker said the advocates of
the gold standard had declared that to
open the minis to the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio of is 10
1 was to cheaper money and rob the
creditor who had loaned his wealth
when the value of a dollar was more
than it would be under the workings
of the proposed law. This was the
moral issue of the arguments OF the
gold men. Had the use OF silver been
discontinued N this country and all
over the world for, say a century or
more, perhaps this argument would be
a good one, but for 1900 years silver
and gold have been the standard money
OF the world. The change to a gold
standard in this country was brought
about by the manipulators Sf money,
the creditor class and the nations
which have to purchase silver for use.
They have bought control of all the
leading papers of the east and are
compelling the editors of the same to
support the gold standard cause. The
truth is being kept from the people
and The press subverted in the inter
ests of the money power of the world
and against the common masses. AS
d result business men have had to con-
tend with a decline in prices and de-
preston has held sway. The borrower
has been compelled to pay N gold
what he borrowed in silver Owing 10
the appreciation of gold he has to
pay 81 for the one he borrowed. Thou
sands have lost their honsss while
thousands more are toiling and toiling
to pay interest in order thar they may
keep shelter over their heads, while
they deprive themselves of ne neces-
sites of life in order that they may
not be turned from the homes they are
struggling TO keep.
And yet men can be found who will
saw that we mean renudiation when
