Democratic voters of the Third pre-
cinct will assemble at headquarte.s this
evening for instruction on the Aus
traian ballot. j. r. Letcher, peda-
gogue.
Charlie Stanton is casting anchors TO
windward with the shrewdness of an
old politician. He goes out Of Office on
the first of the year, but if Joe Smith
is elected sheriff he allows that ne
will take the position now held by Chief
Deputy Clarke in Hardy's office. If
Reese should get there he viii fall in
line for deputyship. and there is the
situation. Rotation in Office seems to
be a Republican creed.

Democratic rallies, VIII be held at
Mill Creek on the Sth of this month and
at Bingham on the 10th. The speakers
for the first are to be arranged for by
the committee, but at the last named
and s. A. Kenner will be the ones who
will preach the living truths of Democ-
racy.
The Democratic county committee has
adopted the Washington and Bryan en-
velope for its correspondence and has
a neat letterhead in red for its commun-
ications on all subjects.
State headquarters are adorned with
a new Autograph of Bryan in colors,
while county headquarters have water
color of the next president by a Salt
Lake artist.
George W. Stewart of Boston is in
the city and is ail the Knutsford. Mr..
Stewart resembles Mark Hanna so
much that several of the faithful were
on the point of striking him for cash
yesterday. and were only deferred from
SO doing by the fact that he wore an
unusually grim expression, which BODIED
no good for cash hunters. Stewart Is
a jolly good fellow, but makes a bad
impression by claiming that Colorado
is liable to go for Mckinley.

Chairman john W. Burton of the

Joe Y. Smith, candidate for sheriff
on the Republican ticket, must not be
COMPOUNDED with Joe Smith. the sheep
man, who is a pronounced Mckinley
supporter.
In the event of deadlock between
Hardy and J. Y. Smith for sheriff the
supporters of Colonel W. j. Shields ex-
pect him to come in for the nominal
ton. He has good following from
the country, and will draw heavy in
the city in such an event as alluded to.
