dent Depew's opinion that the disaster
of last Sunday morning on the New
York Central was the result of a dyna-
mite explosion planned by enemies Of
the company finds many uphold
ers among railway officials and citizens
familiar with the conditions.
If the embankment was torn UP by
dynamite the motive was not robbery
but revenge" was said by one official
of the road today. when the party
of 26 roadmasters of the New York
Central system arrived at the scene
early Monday morning and commenced
IA critical survey OF the section of the
embankment which has been either
washed away or blown out, one Of the
roadmasteTs, n man who had great
experience in the use of dynamite, said
the excavation looked to him very
much like the work of dynamite. The
tendency of dynamite is TO blast down
ward rather than upward or outward,
and one of the most expert track
builders of the railroad says a very
light charge of dynamite would have
collapsed the track fully as extensive
as the section in question. 1t is known
that the engineer shut off steam and
applied the air brake before the crash
officials to believe that Engineer F'oyle
saw something was wrong with the
track in time to apply the air brakes

engine. still, it is argued. that he
would instantly have applied the
brakes the moment he felt his engine

FEARFUL CONSPIRACY.
These Who Oppose Republican Rule
Are Plotters Against Ogden, Says
the Standard.

The Standard yesterday had a Ia
bored editorial devoted to an attempt
to prove that the Herald is fighting
the shyster methods of Republicans in
Ogden simply to advance the interests
of salt Lake. OF course this is no new
cry for the Standard to make. 1t is
made with due regularity when the
Standard has been put in a corner by a
Salt Lake paper. But this time, at
least the Standard can not charge such
motives to this paper without also &C
cusing hundreds of loyal citizens of
Ogden The Herald is simply lighting
the battle of Democracy of the people
and sensible government; of govern
ment that will pay its honest debts
when they come due. Furthermore, The
Herald is insisting, as the Standard has
insisted on many occasions in days
that are gone, that there is an attempt
to overthrow the cause of free coinage,
and that the city election will have an
important bearing on that issue in the
nation.
But who are the men that are thus
charged by the Standard with adYanc-
ing the interests of Salt Lake. They
are practically all the Democrats of
Ogden, with a goodly number of Re
publicans. They are such men as Hon.

+ OF course the Standard claims that
the reduction of taxes is being fought,
when it knows the Democratic party
and candidates are in favor of reduc-
ing the taxes in every possible manner
consistent with real economy. How
ever, they believe in meeting honest
obligations and of working at the sit
nation squarely, instead of promising
a reduction which can not be made,

SOME CROSS QUESTIONS
For Binford and Davenport i
Answer.


Answer
William Driver has denied that he
has promised to appoint j. e. Daven-
port chief of police in case he is elected
mayor. This denial was called out by
The Herald's statement that Chief
Davenport and Chief Binford were ac-
lively working in Drivers interest. OF
course no one ever expected Mr.. Driver
to say anything else. The Herald never
charged that Mr.. Driver had made
direct pledge to Mr.. Davenport or TO
MIR. Binford But the fact is not con-
troverted that the two chiefs have
furthered Drivers candidacy in every
manner possible. Mr.. Davenport says
that Mr.. Driver has not promised him
the office. No one expected Mr.. Dav-
export to say anything else. but it can
not be denied that Mr.. Davenport ex-
poets to get the Office in case of Driy
er's election, and that Mr.. Driver ex-
poets to give it to him. A mutual I'M
derstanding may not be called pledge.
If Mr.. Davenport has no expectation
in line, why has he been going about
and saying: If you vote for Boyle you
put another nail in my coffin?''
Why has he circulated the report,
first, that James Sprunt. and after
