a Silly SENSATION.
Ogden Paper Erects a Story Without
Foundation.


The Standard yesterday had another
scare head" sensation. Under mass
of black head lines that paper asserted
that the county auditor had refused to
approve the expense accounts of the
county commissioners. The paper took
the matter up editorially and congratu-
lated itself on it's vindication- That
there has been differences of opinion
over the proper form for making out
expense accounts is we'll known and
that the law of this year is different
from the law OF last year governing the
subject is also we'll known. This being
the case. it may be that the commits
sioners decided to withhold their first
expense accounts until the law could be
investigated. There is nothing appar-
ent in the statutes to compel the COM
missioners to send in their bills until
the eEd of the year, and just how the
law is enforced or any paper ''vindi-
Gated by the commissioners holding
back bills aggregating not to exceed
SIS is something that many people Will
have difficulty in understanding.
How the Standards article was view
ed at the clerks office is shown by the
following open letter, sent to that paper
last night:
A DENIAL
Editor Standard.-Your issue of this
morning does me a great injustice and
unnecessarily reflects on the county
commissioners in the reference therein
made to a refusal by me to audit the
expense accounts of the commission
ers. There is positively no excuse for
the statement made.
When Mr.. Macmillan, your local."
asked me why the commissioners ex-
pense bills We're not audited. told him
that they had not been filed with me.
There was no intimation that there
was or would be a hitch in their ap-
prevail, nor had 1 informed the COM
misSiOnerS that ii would be necessary
for them to change the form of their
expense accounts.
The law of 1896, under which the
present commissioners were elected,
provided in reference to expenses that
the commissioners should be allowed
their actual travelling expenses each
quarter, not to exceed $500 each, and
none of the commissioners exceeded
that amount The revised statutes
change the section not to exceed al
lowing $500 per annum fer expenses,
and none of the commissioners have
exceeded the legal allowance Consid-
ering the above, it would appear they
have not overdrawn at all, as you
state.
1t appears TO me that less haste pub
licly to injure men III office would be
creGitable alike to the head and heart
of all men in the journalistic field.
Yours in fairness to all.

A Timsly Speech.


The speech delivered yesterday by At
toruey General Grlggs at the New Jer-
sey Republican convention is deserving
Of a careful reading. 1t is a splendid
review OF the administration Of Presi-
dent Mckinley, "ln the time of storm
and stress, in the midst of great per-
plexities, and under the weight of enor-
nous responsibilities" during which the
President has retained the confidence
and support of those who aided US in
1896"
The address, coming from a member
Of the Presidents cabinet, is Of import
ance, for it is a calm, dIgnihed, cnnser-
vative and eloquent defense of the Chief
Executive of the Nation from the parti-
san assaults that are being made upon
him at such an hour as that above re-
ferred to. ,Mr. Gdsgs' reference to the
course that is being pursued by these
psrtisans in the face of the facts which
should arouse patriotic impulses, rather
than a miserable and most contemplate
attempt to make the Inevitable results
Of a war, fought and won within so
short a time, and which means so much
for the country, football of politics.
II Is a severe rebuke that Mr.. GrIggs
utters when ne refers to the conduct of
certain newspapers and others in trying
70 make leading issue of the sufferings
Of our soldiers, as follows:
"ForgettIng the glory, the achieve
ments, the success with which an army
Of 100000 men was raised out of nothing,
and a hostile nation was almost wiped
out In ninety days, they are lowering
ike bu7zards over the batue-fields and
hospitals and graveynrds, looking only
for the misery and suffering and death
which were inevitable In war. Surely,
the Democratic party has not been re-
duced 90 low in its supply Of proper sub
tects for political division as to need to
rely upon yellow fever and yellow liter
ature."
This utterance viii strike a responsive
chord In the hearts of the intelligentcIti-
zsns OF the country. It expresses the
truth briefly and polntedly concerning
the despicable resort to which dema-
roRues have been driven in their search
for a partisan Issue. It is but a brief
reference to a phase of the campaign
which is already disgusting the country
as the people begin to realize the pur-
pose of the exaggerations and the as
saults that are not stopping short of the
white house.
The remainder of Mr.. Grlggs' speech
is OF the results of the war" OF the poll
Giles which are to call for wise states
manshIp, and his utterances are OF the
deepest Significance. His review of all
that has been accomplished is masterful
and convincing.

Judging from the ridiculous figure the
Register is cutting in an endeavor to ex-
plain to Its readers the reason why the
Republicans are working in harmony in
this county, and the absurdlty OF the ex-
plantations, we may fairly assume that
the Democratic organ and managers are
worried exceedingly about something.
The latest is an Interview with an al
legged Republican who fancies he knows
a great deal, but who, II he is correctly
reported, knows little about the Repub-
llcan situation.
We sincerely trust that the Register
will continue its campaign Of canards
and freaks of imagination. 1t helps
along wonderfully. Discretion. how
ever might have dictated to the organ
the lack oE political sense 1t INDUCED in
when It quoted the so-called Republican
as SAYING that he would vote and
SPEND MONEY to defeat the Republic
can nominee and place Democratic
free trade and free silver advocate in
Congress. Republicans who do such
things are not Republicans from prlucI-
pie but are moved by personal mo-
aves. Republicans in name only are not
the men who make up the party. The
Register is welcome to all the consola-
ton II can thus get.

Ex-Minister Angel. who has returned
from Turkey, says the sultan has great
respect for the United States since the
war with Spain, and took a deep interest
in the feats performed by our navy. He
was anxious to know all about our ships
and guns after the Dewey victory, and,
presumably, also on the receipt Of the
news of the destruction Of cervera's
feet But the sultan may not be easily
induced to pay our claims for damages
suffered by American citizens In Arme-
MIA by long distance knowledge Of the
efficiency of our ships. A close inspec-
tIon OF them from the sublime porte, in

parade was credltable in size and in the

appearance. The weather is something
which cannot be governed to suit US.
and the colored citizens, who had gone
to so much trouble In preparing for big

enjoyment, bore their disappointment

The incident of the weather recalls
that the 22d OF September Is not the

this nature 1t is Mt this time that the
