fected, that all was serene and thar
the grand old party would go march
ing on in the wake of the immortal
John Brown
Whether or not this will be the case
remains to be seen. Secretary Ham
mond was not as exuberanE as he
might have been over the result, con-
tenting himself with saying that he
hoped good would come out of it
and that all arrangements would be
satisfactory to all parties.
And there the matter rests. The
passage of the resolution cannot be
said 10 be the action OF the silver men
and must be cIassed as an attempt on
the part of the goldbugs to bring about
peace.
What the convention of next lhurs-
day will do remains TO be seen.
From all the indications it appears
as if e. M. Allison, jr., of Ogden would
not have as easy a walkover for the
nomination for congress as ne could
wish. 1t appears that our own George
NJ. Cannon is being talked Of right
smart these days and that large con-
port him. George NJ. is a Bryan and
port him. George NJ. is a Bryan and
Sewau man and will vote for the DEM
ocratic nominees, but as to the balance
of the ticket will vote the straight
Republican if he has chance and can
discern which is the straight" ticket.
If George NJ. should be successful,
Utah will have half a battery in two
houses. There will be Cannon in the
senate and Cannon in the house.

1t is said that the Republicans of this
county want short campaign and that
there wall be no county convention IN
til Oct. 10. This may be all right as
an excuse, but the knowing ones say
this delay is on account of the disrup-
ton which is now prevalent in the
ranks of the party. AS soon as the
chairman and members of the county
committee find they can safely proceed
a call will be issued. But at this mo-
ment they are united in an effort TO
ascertain where they are at.
A meeting of the old and new county
committees is called for this afternoon
at o'clock at Democratic headquar-
tiers on State street. The old commit
tee will make statement of the con-
dition of affairs and the new will be
indicted into office and will select
chairman, in accordance with the &C
ton of the county convention.

A meeting OF the people who favor the
election of Bryan and Sewall will be
held in the Fifteenth election precinct
in the Burlington chapel tonight for the
purpose of forming a, Bryan and SewalI
club. The place of meeting is in Pop
lar Grove, and all interested are invited
TO attend.
7. NJ. Fisher. present incumbent. is a
candidate for reelection 10 the office
of county auditor. Mont is a RepubE-
can and anticipates he will have an
easy victory over Mrs. Game, but the
fact of his being a good fellow and
capable man too, will not have any eff
feet with the people who are demand
ing a change. Mrs. Game will begin
keeping the books Of the county on the
LIST day Of January, 1897, and can be
found at the Office from till 5 each
day, Sundays and holidays excepted.
unless a pressure of business should
save the interests of the county. Fisher
is the logical candidate of his party,
however. the matter of succession in
Office being a cardinal principle of the
party.
Will Nebeker, the superintendent Of
the Ophir Hill mine at Ophir, has SHE'D
his castor into the ring as a candidate
for the office of state senator from
make the run on the Democratic ticket,
for know ye that William has renounc-
ed the fallacies of Republfcanism and
has becCine a full-fiedged Democrat.
bTim full of silver arguments and
eager to do something to advance the
cause Of silver and prosperity. He
has strong following in the counties
where he will make the race and it will
not be a surprise if he is elected by an
overwhelming vote.
George H. Robinson, the well known
mining man, has been an independent
Republican for a great many years. But
of late he has arrived at the conclu-
sion that Mckinley and his policies are
all wrong and is out as plain Demo-
crat with no object in view save the
election Of Bryan and Sewall As a
reward for his conduct and in appre-
citation of his ability the people of Juab
are going to push him for the state
senate and the chances are he will be
nominated on the first ballot. George
is bright man; one of the brightest
in this section and will make a good
race. He will be elected if nominated,
as the miners all swear by him.
@ g @,
Through inadvertence The Herald an
nounced that James G. Jensen. candf-
date for county recorder on the Demo-
cratic ticket, was from Sandy. Tt was
mistake pure and simple, which this
paper hastens to correct. Mr.. Jensen
Is popular Salt Lake man and has
lived here many many years.
