last. A triumvirate has controlled the
political destinies Of Park City for the
past two years, a virtual sat
rapy who in their inebriated
egotism, thought they owned the
moral, physical and political al
legiance of this free and enlightened
people AllegoricalIy they are called
Effendi. After the results of the late
campaign became known to the all
powerful PaSha he mathematical the
infidel rabble that had deserted his
standard for that of the enemy, and
vowed he would yet make them eat
crow, certainly not an epicurean NOR
sci. Poor Hughes who has had mis-
fortunes enough of his own in all con-
science. is the unwilling instrument of
the Pasha's visitation of retributive
justice on the defenseless heads of his
old time followers. Nominally the Pa
sha is the directing genius, yet the
Bey is the diplomatist who makes the
balls which the Pasha fires from his
Maxim smooth-bore gun. The EMendf
is the courier and has charge of the
caravans. Hitherto they have been in
vincible but a modern Cyrus came
who by good deeds and a common bro
therhood delivered them from a cank-
erous Vassalage. 1t has been the custom
of the triumYirate when an employees
services were no longer desired that
they have him placed in a sinecure
berth at the expense of the taxpayers
"a form of Superannuated pension. A
place could not be found at the mine
for Mr.. Hughes for the reason that his
services were no longer satisfactory to
the management on account of mis-
fortune that occurred while discharging
his duties as engineer when two men
lost their lives in consequence. The
catastrophe is yet green in the men,
DRY of the people and especially to the
men who are employed at the mine.
His residence here has not been of suf-
ficient duration to have acclimatized
him, much less make marshal Of him.
The following is the aye and nay vote
by the council on Mr.. Hughes appoint
ment: Aye-Raddon. Kescel, Reynolds
and Mayor Farrell. Nay-Tallon, Ras-
band and Thompson. AS to the police
men, Simpson, Johnson and Williams,
there is no fault to find with their APP
pOintment.
Friends who love fair play better
than they respect questionable friend
ship have come to the writer and said
the combination had it in for me and
would not stop at violence. Therefore
! did not err in my estimate of their
low methods-intimidat the resort of
the puSillanimous, and threats the
refuge of towards. Business men and
the public generally warmly support
the contention your correspondent has
made in their behalf. The editor of the
Record is understood to wear an Anchor
Amulet as preventative against sue
cumbing to aldermanic trials and trib-
ulations(?). AS for that animated
vacuum of stale beer, the Parrot,
his Polly cry will not avail him. All
know where his bread and butter
comes from and the poor old bird is
remarkably susceptible to saccharine
condiments, the kind that is most es-
sential away down in Arkan-saw-see.
A strike of some very good ore is re-
ported from the Cumberland workings
as having been made last Thursday.
Arrangements are being made to put
on at once three shifts to further de-
velop this promising property
Senator r. c. Chambers came up
from Salt Lake yesterday morning. 1t
is the first time his Park City friends
have seen him since he assumed SEN
atorial duties. Mr.. Chambers will dis
tribute the checks to the various mines
and mills which is always a pleasure
to him and his hundreds of employees.
