as follows: The Democratic primaries
and convention is to be captured by
the fusion of Democrats if possible.
The first BATTLE was lost, as the con-
vention was controlled by the anti
fusion people. 1t win be remembered
that the silver Republican committee
was in session all of Saturday after
noon and the developments at the
Democratic convention were of no COM
fort to the fusion people. Thereupon
letter was sent to the P6pulists ask
ing them to adjourn their convention 10
meet at some future time with the sill
yer Republican committee. In the event
of complete failure in the Democratic
camp the Populists might come in
handy. The PopuliStS aSsented readily
but they have not yet been asked to
reconvene.
8 8 @
The plan now is understood to be the
capture of the next Democratic con-
ventiOn and primaries and have this
convention name men for the leSisla-
ture favorable TO Cannon. If this can
be done there viii then be no further
talk of a bimetallic party. An effort
will also be made 10 get the Republican
convention TO name candidates favor
able TO Cannon. Such candidates as
would assist in the reelection of Can
non could be endorsed by a silver
party or a ''bimetallic" party, as might
be determined.

Business Course For High School.

The effort to establish a commercial
course in the ogden high school ap-
pears 10 meet with earnest popular IA
vor. AS at present outlined, it is un-
derstood the course contemplated is a
broad and liberal one. While paying
| especial attention to the mechanical
branches of a business education, the
course on the other hand includes
mathematical and literary studies, to-
gether with work in commercial law
and civil government valuable in any
walk of life. The course is to be for two
years and should prove a great adyan-
tage to those pupils who at the close
of eighth grade work feel insufficiently
equipped for the career Of bread win
ming and who, nevertheless. feel that
the full high school course of four
years, with a number of studies which,
however useful are not strictly essen
tial to a business career. is a luxury
they can i'll afford. Typewriting and
shorthand are features OF the proposed
commercial department, and opportun-
ity for the study of Spanish is afforded
This language became especially inlpor-
tant to commercial interests between
the United States and the South Amer
lean countries, which were extensive
even before the days of the Pan-Aner-
lean congress. The recent war with
Spain and the attendant acquisition of
Spanish-speaking colonies has also
made the language of even greater i'm
port TO the American man of affairs.
The high school is we'll equipped for
making such an addition to it's curric-
ulum at little expense. There is un-
used room at the building. The ex-
tension of the working hours of teach
ers gives them the time necessary to
impart the instruction. There is on the
present faculty of the school profess
sor We'll versed in Spanish. while an
other is an excellent shorthand report
er, and a third is about to receive rec
ognition from an eastern college for
special proficiency in commercial law
and political economy. Thus without
the addition of an extra teacher and
with very little expense the required
subjects might be taught.
There are private schools in ogden
covering this work of the business
course, but a man who pays taxes to
support a teacher of Latin should not
be forced to pay tuition to have his
son or daughter taught bookkeeping.
especially when the Latin teacher is
able and willing to teach the book
keeping also.
1t is expected that a special meeting
of the board of education will be held
this week and the subject considered.

OUT OF WHOLE CLOTH.
Judge Thurman Denounces State
ments of a Lying Contemporary.

Provo, Sept. 17--Friday morning
Tribune charges S. r. Thurman with
deserving his friend, D. \. Rideout, in
the late Democratic convention. The
charge states that Mr.. Thurman had
promised to nominate Mr.. Rideout in
the convention; that the former had ar
ranged to meet the latter last Tuesday
for the purpose of arranging the ma
terial for the nominating speech; that
he failed to keep his appointment, and
that when approached next morning
by Mr.. Rideout he denied ever making
the promise.
The Herald's correspondent inter
viewed Mr. Thurman today concerning
the charge and the judge made the
following statement:
Il am quite indifferent as to what
Republican newspapers say concerning
myself in political matters. If they
tell the truth it doesn't hurt me; if
they lie about me my friends don't be-
lieve it.
'As regards the statement concern
ing an alleged promise to nominate Mr.
Rideout, l shall at present decline to
go into details. The statement, how
ever. is both remarkable and singular
from the fact that not a line of it is
true from start to finish Until l am
advised otherwise, 1 shall simply be-
lieve that the object of the statement
is to disrupt friendly relations now
existing between myself and others"
When asked if he were a candidate
for the senatorship, he replied:
1.-The parties who say 1 am candi-
date do so on the same ground that
they made the repeated charge that l
was a candidate for the supreme judge
ship, and for congressman. l am not a
candidate, most decidedly not"

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Russian Crop Failure Bugaboo Used
With Effect.

Chicago. Sept. 1.-THE wheat situation
had no fresh light shed upon it by early
cablegrams or dispatches, but the market
started at a slight Improvement for De-
cember delivery. September, however,
showed a tendency in the opposite direc-
ton, and that becoming more pronounced,
it dragged the active option in its wake
A factor which helped the market some
what at the start was the report that a
prominent business man of Ohio. who Is
now travelling in Russia, had written to
this country that he had learned from a
Russian official that the wheat crop IN
the Volga district was a failure and that
50. 600 050 bushels of wheat from other parts
of Russia would be required to feed the
population of that province

crowd was like the leaves of the aspen.

and that SupersenSitiVeneSs was shown by
the flutter in the market that attended
the spreading of the oft-repeated tale from
the Volga. The Atlantic clearanceS of
wheat and flour for the day amounted to
cause of considerable firmness in the mar
ket near the close. Including clearances
from New Orleans, Galveston and New

Corn was dull, but firm. The initial up
turn was due to moderate buying by COM
mission houses. Prices held steady on a
very dull trade throughout the session and

Oats demonstrated their ability to fol-

Provisions were firmer but very quiet.
Packers We're inclined to buy and there
was no pressure to sell. The feature of

the rangs of prices inconsequentaial.

same time have fallen off more than SIS

A CANNON SCHEME.
Scheme. to Capture the Democratic
Primaries.

1t developed yesterday that number
of the silver Republicans are prepar-
ing to second the efforts of the fusion
Democrats at the Democratic prima-
rieS. A number of the prominent sill
yer Republicans are known to have
advised others of their way of thinking
% attend the Democratic primaries
and vote with the fusion Democrats as
delegates favorable 10 Cannon. The
convention once captured, it is said, the
Cannon people will insist on the nom
ination of legislative ticket favorable
to their man and will distribute the
other nominations in a way to make
votes for the legislative ticket. The
only thing which they care for is the
legislative ticket. In the event of fail
ure to'capture the convention, it is said
to be the plan to form an independent
party under the name of Bimetallic or
Silver party, and put up a set of legiS-
lative candidates favorable to the re-
turning of Senator Cannon. These can
didates will include such Republicans
and Democrats as might be favorable
to Cannon. Support for candidates,
Republicans or Democrats, on the
county ticket would be traded for sup
port of the Cannon legislative ticket.
Just how far these plans have matured
cannot be stated. All kinds of rumors
are afloat regarding the same.
