Hon. A. ". MeCune, member of the
Democratic national committee for
Utah. has received a query from the
New York World regarding prosperity
and its effect on the silver question in
the west He replied and said that the
cause of silver was just as firm in the
hearts of the people as it ever had
been, and that the present prosperous
wave was looked upon as the result
Of short crops in Europe, and not the
outgrowth of the Dingley bin. He ulso
added that ". J. Bryan was stin re-
Sarded here in the west as the stand
ard bearer Of the silver forces, and that
he WAS more popular than ever.

It is said the citizens committee
held a meeting on Friday night. at
which it WAS decided to put a ticket
in the field and combat the elements
of craftsmanship which prevail, but the
organ of the -partisans which had
the only "hunch" on the proceedings.

Now, full has q double meaning, but
no explanation is vouehsafed ana the
reader is left to his own coniectures
as to which is meant The meeting
of the committee was the result of an
effort to check any movements on the
part Of the Republicans TO nominate
a ticket 1t is believed that this an

influence the city committee of that
party and prevent them from getting
into the field. AS is well known. that
committee meets on Monday evening,
and the sO-called 'citlzens' wanted to
be all ready to make a statement,
either through Parsons, Campbell or
kimbal. that the n-partisans are
all ready to go to work and place a
ticket in the field.
However this scheme is rot going TO
work Members of the committee have
been told by their constituents that
they must make the apportionment
and go ahead with the work; that no
monkeying would be permitted. Hence
the city committee will issue its call
in due form and the convention win be
called and viii make nominations
When the citizens" are checked in
this manner another movement will be
attempted. Ii the agglomeration
holds a convention and really nomi-
mates someone, then all nominations
will be presented at the Republican
convention in the hope that it viii en-
dorse the action taken by the banker
ines and the other ines. The result viii
be that the most part of the Repub-
hcan ticket Will be non-partisan and
the greater portion Of the non-partisaus
Mill be Republicans
