The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-06-20

another week has ended and Nc
Kinley has announced no selections for
the principal Offices in Utah. The boys
are getting nervous. This delay is
killing in its intensity.
Hoyt Sherman has been perspiring
blood all week. He and his Washing
ton friends have been keeping the wires
hot between this city and that place.
The mails have been entirely too slow
for him.
Harvey Hardy has maintained a
serene expression all this time, and
while he has been waiting for news,
has hammered away at some claims
over in the West Mountain district.
John Lu Taylor is practicing his pro-
fession ana saying strictly nothing, but
metaphorically saving wood.
CHANGING around the city one finds
more friends of Boyt Sherman than
any other candidate. The general i'm
preston is that Uncle John VIII pull
his younger relative through all right,
although WheE man asks what they
base this belief upon, none of them can
answer. II may be stated right here if
Sherman sets that appointment il viii
be against the opposition of ex-senator
Brown, unless some combination is en-
tered into which viii 0e forced upon
Brown. Ii may be stated, too as an
place it will be after John Sherman has
walked over to the White House and
made demand that Hoyt be appointed
over the opposition of Brown.
Now some days ago communication
was shown among select few in this
city, in which John Sherman declared |
he had no wish TO interfere in Utah ap-
pointments and would not interfere. 1t !
was this which started Hoyt's friends |
to working up a lot of signatures to a !
telegram to Brown at Washington, to |
use his efforts to have Hoyt appointed. /
From all indications it would seem |
that Hoyt had better take chances on |
the land office and let the marshalship |
alone
No word has been received from
Dykens of late Since the candidacy of |
Lindsay. Rogers has been made a seTi-
Gus matter at the capital. Dykens
hasn't had the support he should have
received; would have received from
Rogers, his attorney. who urged him TO
enter the lists. And it seems TO be a
fOregone conclusion that Lindsay is so
ing to be appointed, that $1,000 matter
TO the contrary Notwithstanding. AS
announced in the Washington dis
patches TO The Herald Whittemore
has given up all hope and is doubtless
now on his way home. When White
more gives up hope it is usually after
every one else has quit and abandoned
the ground. Eichnor isn't receiving
any encouraging news from the seat
of trouble and none of the balance have
anything to say, so ii is fair to pre-
sumo Lindsay has the inside track.
One of the delegation sent to Wash
ington to invite Mckinley TO come to
Utah during the jubilee said. yester-
day. when he was al Washington ne
Brown would be the man who would
control all the patronage from ,Shis
state. 1t was stated by a member of =
the cabinet the administration would
not listen TO anything from opponerss
of Mckinley during the campaign, and
especial mention was made Of the .
Tribune. y was told said the gen
tleman. that it would be considered
the height of improperly for Mr.. Ian

matter of that sort. and thai if he did

Mr.. Lannan didn't spend any time
with Mckinley, but wandered away to
see friends in other portions of the
east. while edr. Cannon. the other

In connection with the visit of the
president to this city during the iu-
)ilee there has been a great deal OF "
old water throwing by several of the 5
organs, the Provo Enquirer Ia
