Hon. Peter Greaves of Sanpete county
was in the city yesterday. He is one
of the pioneer Democrats of Sanpete
and has stood with the party when
times were troublous. He says the
prospects are good down there this
year and with the proper efforts the
county can be carried for the Demo-
cratic ticket, there being considerable
dissatisfaction among the members of
the opposition. Mr.. Greaves came to
this city with the intention of getting
some assistance in the campaign and
will return this morning. with some of
the speakers who will talk at various
points in Sanpete.

day from an extended eastern visit
expresses it as his opinion that it will
be an almost even break between
Bryan and Mckinley, and the Bryan
SEtlliIl6Ilt Is SIONlIS TdDlu1N. T.
Black witnessed the Mckinney parade
in Chicago a few days ago, and while
he says that 1t was an immense affair,
it was almost devoid of enthusiasm
Later on the Bryan adherents had their
parade, and although the procession
was not as long, the enthusiasm and
interest was great and the streets
were packed with people who were
hurTahing for the Democratic nominee
Mr.. Black went east fully convinced
that Mckinley was sure of winning
with hands down, but now he is not
so sure about it, and is inclined ITO be-
lieve that there will be landslide and
that Bryan will win the race with
good majority.
Peter Johnson. the irrepressible Scan

in the language OF Hamlet is not for
one unacquainted with the accent to
say, but converted into plain English
the rhythm is a little imperfect-off
the key, so to speak. The words are:

The Republicans of this city are
making a very contemplate fight on
Barney Quinn, and are urging that
he is man with no standing in the
community where he lives. One of the
assailants of this young man should
go to Bingham and make an assertion
of that character. Barney is held high
in the estimation of all the good peo-
pie of Bingham, and, despite the fact
that he was for a long time about the
only Democrat in the camp, he was
elected and reelected over again as
recorder of the district, which is one
of the greatest in the state.

The Republicans in this city are in
sore straits at the turn matters have
taken in relation to Parsons and Bit
ner. Parsons thought by turning Bit
ner down before County Clerk Stan
ton he would be enabled to shut off
all opposition to himself from the Re-
publican ranks. But instead of the
protest doing him any good it is do
ing him harm. Bitner's many friends
are declaring for Quinn, and to offset
the slump in favor of Barney, Par
sons and his gang are resorting to a
campaign Of vituperation and misrep-
resentation. In the end this will prove
a boomerang. Mr.. Parsons is known
as chronic office-seeker, who has
posed before convention after conven-
ton for nominations and now that he
is confronted with defeat he cringes
before it and seeks to evade it by I'M
fair battle.
The way to settle Parsons and men
of his ilk is to go to the booth on
election day and mark an X up by the
rooster and let it go at that.
The pathway upon which the county
commissioners will have to tread dur
ing the balance of the year is one
flowers. 1t will be rocky in the ex-
IRENE. A prominent attorney in this
city has had placed in his hands the
matter of a suit to recover into the
county the sum of S3S, 900, appropriate
ed without authority of law by the
eminent trio who now fill the places.
Part of this sum is money paid expert
witnesses in the county boodling cases
for railroad and sleeping car fares,
dining car services between this city
and Chicago; money paid detectives
and appropriations made "for obvious
reasons" The suit will be brought
in the name of leading taxpayer,
who believes the county should not be
compelled to pay all the expenses
above cited. 1t is said the suit will be
planted some days after election, and
will include the bondsmen of the COM
missioners.
Many comments are heard upon the
street from those who attended the
meeting at Nephi on Saturday even

on the card. 1t is spelled correctly and
this is but a scheme to ascertain the
politics Of the sender of the postal
notice.
The Republican managers are in des-
perate straits and viii attempt almost
anything this fall If you believe your
name is misspelled ON the list go to
the Office of the county clerk and ask
TO be shown the list of voters for your
precinct. Hunt up your own name and
see that 1t is all right. Do not answer

The above is but one of many which
were returned to headquarters of the
Democratic party yesterday. Almost
every one reported their names were
not misspelled on the books and that
If any changes have been made they
were made at Republican headquarters,
where many of the registration agents
repaired after they had completed their
work.
The Republicans are going to do
everything they can to steal the cleo
ton in this county. They realize they
are beaten on all points if the election
is conducted honestly and are going
to take advantage of the ignorance of
their registrars to throw out every
Democratic vote it is possible to throw
out. Errors in names will be grounds
for challenge by Republicans, where
the challenger is certain the voter is
a Democrat With Republicans it will
be different
Democratic ladies who have been ad-
vised to vote for Mrs. Wells will do
well to consider before making any
scratches on their ballots. The Repub-
lican missionaries have been urging
Democratic ladies to mark an x up by
the rooster and then one opposite the
name of Mrs. Wells. Don't do it unless
you want to lose your vote for all the
candidates on the senatorial ticket 1t
is a Republican dodge pure and simple
and means a Democratic loss if the ad-
vice is followed.
When a Republican missionary tells
you anything, don't do it.
The instructions under the Australian
ballot are plain and when they are
carefully considered it is easy to vote.
Mark an X UP by the rooster and let
it go at that if you intend to vote
straight. If you do not vote straight,
do not mark an X opposite the rooster,
but mark an X in the space opposite
the name of every candidate you vote
for from presidential electors to con-
stable.
1t is asserted that there will be an at
tempt in some of the precincts on cleo
ton day to crowd the polls with Re-
publcans in the afternoon and prevent
Democrats from voting. Democrats, go

THE RING.
Said to Be Definitely Settled That
Maher and Choynski VIII Meet
Next Month.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The Journal
says: 1t has been definitely settled
that Peter Maher and Joe Choynski
will meet in a 20-round contest before
the Broadway Athletic club on Novem-
Der H. After these men had been Sc
cured by the matchmaker of this club,
there was some little difference of opin-
ion among the stockholders as to the
advisability Of permitting big men
boxing in their arena and counting po-
lice interference. This feeling has been
overcome, and the men have been no
titled that the contest will be decided
on the date above. Parson Davies and
Joe Choynski will arrive in this city
from Chicago on Wednesday, and on
Thursday they will take up their quar-
tiers at Oceanic, n. j., where Choyn-
ski will put the finishing touches to his
training. Maher will continue to train
at SheepShead Bay.
