Where to Plant Lights.

While the city officials are taking into
consideration the removing and the put
ting in of electric lights in the resident
portion of the city, if they will investi-
gate they will find that more people get
off and on the Highland Avenue and Belt
line at Culoms station than at any 9th
err point until Five Points is reached, and
the difference in these two stations is
very small, IL there be a difference, yet
the majority of these stations, except
Cullom's have electric lights. Instead of
acting on hearsay altogether or on petit
tions, little investigation will Outlines
reveal that the point i'll greatest need of
attention is more often overlooked than

Hartman Confident.

Congressman Hartman is very con-
f1dent that Bryan and SewaH will be
elected. He was confident before the
silver convention endorsed the ticket,
but is very much more so now. He
deplores the action of the Populist
convention in refusing to nominate
Sewal, but is pleased with the action
Of the convention in nominating Bryan,
for now he believes there can be no
possible doubt that ne will be the next
president.
Concerning his own state Mr. Hart
man said that there, like everywhere
else. there are a few Mckinley Repub-
licans, but says they are so scarce
they viii cut no figure whatever in
the election. He predicts that Bryan
and Sewall will carry Montana by at
least 81, 900 majority. The state offices
the Republicans hope to keep Repub-
!ican, and according to Mr.. Hartman's
idea there is good prospect for their
doing So
Mr.. Hartman says it is a matter of
Indifference to him whether or not he
is reelected; that he is not candi-
date, but that he expects to receive the
nomination of the Republican conven-
ton for congress. That he has very
little fears for the result of the cam
onstrates by the fact that he intends
going east to stump Illinois and other
eastern states for the silver ticket
Il shall support the head of the
Democratic ticket said Mr.. Hartman,
not because it is Democratic, as any
body must know, but because Mr..
Bryan stands for all that the term
bimetallism implies. Prior to the Re
publican convention at St. Louis BIZ
metallism was a Republican principle.
If it was good then it is good now and
1 decline to yield my faith in that re-
gard / think the silver Republicans
everywhere should unite with the par
ties which have declared for free silver
and have made Mr.. Bryan their candf-
date, and do their utmost to secure
his election"
Concerning state tickets, Mr. Hart
man said he thought the Republicans
should find some common ground upon
which they could get together to Sc
cure the election of Republicans. and
especially Republican congressman.
But" said he, IF they split on the
Mckinley issue there is no hope for
them
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-07-26

L regard Mr.. Bryan as being better
than his platform, and outside of the
Populislt party he would have been my.
personal choice of all the men 1 know.
He is brainy, young, vigorous and hon
est, and has nothing in his public rec
ord to apologize for or explain.
Tom Watson is one of the great men
of the day. He above any other man
in the Populist party would have been
my choice for president. This is to be
the greatest campaign of the century.
1t is the first time in twenty years
where the issues were clearly drawn
1t is in my opinion a fight to the death
between the masses and the classes.
The Republican party has at last been
compelled to place it's feet squarely
and unequivocally upon its real
grounds. 1t has always, that is for
the last twenty years at least, been the
representative of the interest of the
classes. 1t has always denied 1T until
now when, being compelled to define
its real position, 1T has openly done SO.
No one need doubt longer where that
party stands. 1t is practically new
party In taking this stand it has
driven from its ranks every conscien-
tious leader it had. The Democratic
party on the other hand has taken
a new stand, and adopted a platform
very largely in the interest of the peo-
pie 1t, too, is practically new party.
BY the bold stand it has taken it has
sloughed off lot of its former lead
ers who have gone over to the Repub-
lican party where, it is hoped, they Will
ever stay"
"Wiu the Populists of Utah support
Bryan?"
'"They certainly will, with very few
q
who will not. They have no conf
dence in the Democratic party and be-
ieve that Populfsts should contend for
all of their dernandS-men who fear THAT
a coalition will result in the disruption
of the PopuGisIL organization; but the
number is comparatively small. All
Populists more or less feel the same
way, but l think that fully ninety-nVe
per cent. of them are willing TO FISK
these things in order to elect MI. Bry-
an and get what the reconstructed
Democracy demands in their platform.
Personally, | believe it will help Pop
ulism in Utah. The great difficulty
hitherto in introducing Populistic ideas
in Utah has been that the peoples
minds have been poisoned and preJu-
diced against it SO that they are hard
to reach; they would refuse to come out
to hear a speech or to read PopullSt
papers. and had the Populists refused
the ove1rtures of the Democrats at this
time, they would have placed them
selves almost beyond recognition But
now it will be different. BY showing
disposition to assist in obtaining what
the people at this time most need, the
sneakers will be accorded more respect
fun hearing and these speakers Will
never lose an opportunity to DISCUSS
the land and transportation question,
both of which when once understood,
will be quickly endorsed by the people:
Yes, you may say for me that while l
am ordinarily opposed to fusion with
any party that I shall do all L can Tor
the ticket nominated today"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-07-26

going over boots and breeches into the
Democratic camp. The facts are that
these people have been fighting the
Democratic party ever since the Pop
ulist party was organized, and the
feeling between them is very bitter
and l only wonder that they were as
moderate in their demands as they
were. They are excusable for all they
did, and I think showed a great deal
of patriotism.
The nomination of Watson will do
Mr. Bryan a great deal of good, and
will not hurt Mr. Sewall in the least.
Sewall will get all the votes he would
have gotten had he had the entire
field. My opinion is that the topmost
aim of the convention was to defeat
Mckinley and his policy, and I do not
believe that any personal favoritism
Will now be allowed to work
against either Sewall or Watson.
If that be the real end in view there
will be some equitable arrangement
made in choosing presidential electors
by which one or the other of the can
didates for vice-president will receive
the entire vote of the Democratic and
Populist electors. 1 cannot think for
moment that they will allow Mr..
Hobart to get in if coalition of the
forces can prevent it.

The Mantle Idea.

Senator Lee Mantle echoed the senti-
spects. MIR. Hartmans ideas are
NINE" said he, ION the issues that are
paramount at this time. 1 will add,
however one injunction to Republicans
who propose 20 support Mckinley
that is, the Republicans of the west.
l think there is little doubt that they
Hence they must be supporting Nc
Kinley for the protection principles
that are involved! l wish to say to
them that if they would have those
principles subserved they will support
and vote for Bryan and silver.
This is my point of argument and
I don't think it can be successfully
controverted. The senate is now Re-
publican; hence if Bryan is elected
tariff legislation, or tariff legislation
that will be unfavorable to the Repub-
lican idea Of protection. If the Re-
publicanS of the west split on the pro-
lection rock there is little doubt that
senators will be elected who, though
they will be safe on the silver question,
will be either Democrats or PopuliStS
whose views on the protection idea
will be averse 10 Republican principles.
1T seems to me, then. that the only
reasonable thing for the Republicans
of the west to do is to support the sill
yer ticket and maintain the party or
ganiza ton within their different states,
so that Republican congressman and
senators can be elected and secure the
country against unfavorable tariff leg
islation. If they do not do this, but
divide the party strength on the pro-
lection idea, I cannot see any way but
that the complexion Of congress VIII
be changed and become sufficiently
Democratic and Populistic to enable
the two parties to make still further
reductions in the tariff schedules, if
they see fit, for Bryan and Sewall are
certainly going to be elected, in my
judgment"
