A NEW POLITICAL PARTY.
Made Its Appearance In Zion
Last Evening.
ITS SPONSORS ARE AMONG THE
WEALTHIEsT MEN HERE.
W. W. Ritter Conceived the Idea-The
Keynote Is the Necessity of Re
form In Municipal Affairs.
a new political party has been borI


A new political party has been born
in ZION.
As yet it is unnamed. Its sponsors
are the richest and most influential
men the city assessor has on his list of
taxpayers. The ACCOMPLISHMENT, after
seven days of travail, was recorded last
evening at meeting held in the Des-
eret National Bank building. The idea
OF establishing a new party was con-
celVed by w. w. Ritter less than two
weeks ago. He preached his scheme
to number of his friends. 1t received
their endorsement. Thereupon he issued
Gala personal call-for a meeting,
which was held a week ago last even
ing AT that meeting, w. S. McCor-
mex was elected chairman and John O.
cannon secretary. Several speeches
We're made, in all of which the key
note was the necessity of reform in
municipal matters. Cases of alleged
administration in the conduct of Of
hcial affairs We're cited, and great
stress was laid upon the fact that the
rate of taxation had increased from II
mills in 1890 to 2715 mills in 1897 After
the speaking, it was decided TO inaugu-
rate political movement on the lines
indicated, and Messrs. w. W. Ritter. O.
Il ~
Williams and James Sharp were ap-
pointed a committee TO draft aDDro-
pirate resolutions for submission to the
people and to outline a plan of pro-
cedure for inaugurating the campaign.
AT last nights meeting their report
was submitted. The resolutions are
said to bristle with denunciations of
the present municipal government and
TO set forth facts of vital interest TO
inf ho n1o of
cedure did not materialize, and the
task was delegated to a committee
composed of Messrs. w. w. Ritter, L. S.
Hills, LIE Grand Young, Farley L. Will
Jams and w. S. Mccormick, who will re-
port at the next meeting, which will be
held subject to the call of the chair
man.
Among those who are said to be ac-
tive in the movement, or who have
promised it support, are w. S. McCor-
nick, l.. S. Hills. o. ]. Salisbury, A. W.
McCune. c: c. Goodwin, Franklin S.

L is the purpose of the organization
to conduct the campaign on a strictly
non-partisan basis. When the plan of
is adopted lists for signatures
of supporters will be circulated, and
at an opportune time the call for the
viii be issued. In no way
has the new organization any affilia-
ton with the Municipal Reform league.

SEA AND SAIL.

Cottage City. Mass, Aug. 1.-THE big
ocean race for the commodores' cup,
between representatives of the New
York Yacht club fleet was started from
here this morning. The course was
from here to Bar HARDER. Me-, dis
lance of 1875 miles. 1t is the first time
in the So years of its history that the
club has sailed such a race and great
interest was taken in the event. The
cups to be given as prizes were offered
by J. Pierpont Morgan commodore of
the club and are valued at $4,000.
The handicapped boats, sloops and
schooners crossed in this order:
Sayonara, Navahoe. Queen Nab,
Gevalia, Conlonia, Emerald, Fennell,
Sachem, Montauk, Hildegarde, Alert,
Gloriana. Clytie. Viking, Varuna and
Crusader.
The start was run dead before the
wind. 1t was blowing very lightly.
There was barely breeze enough to
carry them across the line, and at 2
o'clock they had not made more than
FIVE miles. At that hour, however,
there was some indication of a fresh
ening breeze form the southwark which
would give them a good run over the
shoals before morning.

shovelers are on a strike. The labor
ers demand one gang boss to each gang,
the gang boss to handle the line to

the boss dividing the money, taking a
certain share from each mans pay and
running from two to seven gangs, and
doing no work. The men say they do
not care to support bosses this way. If
the company wants them, let them pay
them. The men refuse TO work. and the
