The announcement that Arthur L.
Thomas had left for Washington made
in The Herald of yesterday, occasioned
mo small amount OF surprise on the
part of the politicians, but the news
contained in the following viii no doubt
put a number of them on their mettle.
1t appears that the slogan of all the
members of the Tribune combination is
Anything to beat Brown" and when
the ex-governor boarded the train, Ell
route for the east, he carried something
with him besides the good wishes of
the aggregation which wants to do up
the ex-senator.
TO gain recognition it was desired to
present to Mckinley something Of
tangible nature, showing that Brown
was not the man the people of Utah
Ereposed confidence in. So it was decided
to give him an endorsement by the Re
publican state committee, of which
your Uncle John E. Dooly is chairman
and r. s.. Campbell secretary. The Her
aid has it on excellent authority that
Mir. Thomas carries, securely buttoned
up in his inside pocket, a paper certi-
tying that ii is the desire of the state
committee that he be accepted at court
as the accredited representative of the
organization, and be consulted in the
matter of making appointments for
this state.
This document. SO those who know
say, bears official signatures, although
no meeting of the committee mas been
I held OF late, to any ones knowledge. SO
confident are those who are standing
/ by Brown that such is the case, that
yesterday letters and kilograms were
sent to members of the state committee
advising them OF this overt act and re-
questing each to at once support Brown
/ by telegraph. A wordy message, ex-
planning the entire situation, was sent
TO Brown, and when Thomas gets to
Washington he viii discover that the
man from Michigan has had "A hours in
which to prepare for his reception and
has ample means of counteracting any
thing he may attempt.

The Tribune is carrying out its plans
with grace and elegance. 1t is playing
its hand we'll 1t wants to demonstrate
its friendliness for the administration,
but knows that slump back into the
ranks it deserted would bring down
upon its head the scorn of the men who
preceded ii in the desertion of the gold
bug organization, so, under the guise of
'upholding the hands of the president
in his effort to secure international BIZ
metallism," it is serenely pouring taffy
upon him, for the purpose of assisting
the syndicate which seeks 10 control
the distribution Of patronage.
However, this will count for very
little, despite the fact that the DaDer
arrogates 10 itself whole lot of in
.fiuence at Washington. 1t is believed
Brown went down to Washington in
good time, and that during his stay
there he has made every moment
count Thomas will arrive in Washing !
ton today at 2 p. m. He will have to so |
somewhere and get shave and bath, |
and let the president know he is in the |
city. Meanwhile the executive is going |
10 Nashville tomorrow. and viii be |
busy all day today. Brown is going 20 |
Nashville with him. Unless Thomas |
wants TO lose a lot more time, he viii |
have to make the trip, too, and as he |
viii have arrived in the capital too late |
to make arrangemen- to be one OF |
the presidential party, he viii have TO |
content himself with roaming around'l
Washington until Mckinley returns |
home.
There is a feeling prevailing around |
the city that some appointments viii |
be made today, or at least that selec- |
tons will be announced. 1t was stated |
that Brown was not going to take any |
chances Of letting the ex-governor have |
an audience if he can help it, although |
aware that if he can talk 10 Mckinley /
go minutes his natural talent for play
ing the part of IagO will do his sfsie OF |
the case more harm than good. L is
not presumed the attorneyshiD VIII be /
filed until the first week in July, but II /
is believed the place of marshal will be |
announced right away.
Among all the candidates for the po- |
sition of United States attorney there |
is none so patient and long suffering |
as Dennis Eichnor. If the place could |
be bestowed on account of personal /
liking, and the people had a chance in !
telling the president whom to appoint,
he would be the party selected. His |
ability is equal 10 any and his meth
DDS are those of peace. He has worked |
as hard as any one for the party, and !
the remnant of the aggregation which |
has its home in Utah can thank him
for lot of expended energy Ot course
Lindsay Rogers handled the funds, c. !
o. Whittemore called on Mckinley |
when the latter was a candidate and /
came back here and said we couldn't |
sell our bonds unless he was elected,
but that didn't count for anything, be-
cause no one relies on what the ex-
county attorney says in relation to
matters political What Eichnor did
was good, hard work. He cut loose
from nearly every political friend he /
had in order TO follow the banner of
yellow gold and thin Cruel, and when /
argued with pleaded with. coaXed and
caioled. refused 10 be shaken in his |
devotion TO the cause of Lazard Freres,
Heidelbach, Ickleheimer & Co., and
the balance of the crowd which fol-
lowed the orifame of the single stand
ard to victory. Dennis is an applicant
for the place, which will no doubt be
given to Lindsay Rogers. He has some
excellent Endorsements and is being
backed by several influential men from
his old home in the hills of Berks
county, Pennsylvania, where hand kase,
smear kase, ponhaus, scrappel,. head
cheese and pigs feet picked constitute
the daily fare. The backing he has
would secure him a place as attorney
for any business house in the country
which wanted a lawyer; but that kind
