for congress this fall, as an administra-
ton Republican.
General Taylor, when seen by a reporter
for this paper, said he had decided at

TINS announcement on the part OF CEN
eral Taylor will be hailed with delight by
all good Republicans, for il has been
known for the past two years that he, or
all men. stands out in the light OF the
political day as the ableSt and best
equipped Republican in the state for the
place. His hdelity to the party has never
been questioned and his ability as
speaker on the most important questions
has been long recognized so great
man is he that his political rivals nave
endeaVored to keep him in the back
ground; have declined to give him a
chance TO speak at meetings. because IN
these places he would have risen superior
TO all those who surrounded him. At the
convention at Ogden two years ago. GEN

ton of a silver Republican and was

the man he had secured TO make his nom
ination speech. and as a result his name
did not get before the convention. When
it was noted that Hon. L. c. Camp did
not arise to present the name OF the gen
eral, questions began to be asked con-
corning il. and the coterie spread the ru-
NOR that the general had decided to with
draw and permit Holbrook to win. This
caused a great COB of gloom to settle over
the convention, and for a few moments.

Not until after the convention did the
majority of the delegates learn that their
choice had been defeated by q trick and
then sentiment ran so high that another
convention nearly resulted. a plan which
was only defeated by General Taylor him
self.

Hon. William Roylance. member of
the last house. was in the city yesterday.
he relates that matters political down in
Utah county are not yet as lively as they
mentioned as = candidate for the senate
this fall but had nothing TO say concern
ing tire matter.
Speaking Of Utah county. however.
brings TO mind the news which is being
circulated that down there an effort is
being made by enemies OF the Democracy
to create schism among the members
of the party by stirring up strife on ac-
count Of the tight over the SenatOrskip
two years ago. Democrats agree there is
no necessity for any such work and ad
wise those who are compelled to listen to
these stories TO give them no credence
whatever, but regard them as schemes of
the common enemy.
Hon Allen c. Campbell was quoted yes
terday morning by the Tribune as having
declared for Cannon Tor the senate. When'l
seen yesterday afternoon he did not deny I
this but intimated that he believed the /
sentiment in the state was such that !
Cannon would have a large following. |
Mr.. Campbell was ready to admit that I
he had been away from here a long time /
and did not readily understand the senti- !
ment of the people. However. it seems |
from the drift of his conversation that |
Mr. Campbell Is friendly to Cannon be- |
cause the senator was loyal enough to |
leave his party convention and take a /
firm stand for the white metal. Had Sen 4
ator Cannon. when he bolted the conven- 1
ton at st. Louis. made d declaration to !
the effect THAI from that time on his eff 1
forts political would be made with the I
Democratic party, he would have been a I
very popular man with the masses.
