WEBER COUNTY PoPULIsTs
Scrapped Over Fusion and Called a
Convention.

Ogden, Aug. 27.-The PopuliSt coun-
ty committee was called to order today
by Chairman S. S. Smith in rooms over
the State Journal office. A silver Re-
publican committee meeting was in
session in the rooms underneath. There
was a whole lot of discussion, and
things We're not very harmonious. Mr..
Grant offered an anti-fuSion resolution,
and arguments were poured on him to
induce him to withdraw the resolution
by some who did not think it good poll
tics to go on record at this time on
the fusion question. Grant refused
and the resolution was voted down.
A committee was sent downstairs to
ask the silver Republicans if they had
anything to say about fusion or any
thing else. The adjective Republicans
had nothing to say, but presently
committeeman strolled in and said the
silver Republicans had adjourned and
the Populists ought to do likewise.
Then MIR. Grant and some others got
mad and Mr.. Grant did little talking
right out in meeting. Mr.. Grants view
was that the Populists had been jobbed
and tricked and were being made a
tool of, and that the party would never
on Gods green earth amount to a -
begged for an opportunity to play sec
ond fiddle to some other party.
Finally a call was issued for a con-
vention for Sept. 10, 1898, at 10 o'clock.
There is to be one delegate at large
from each precinct and one for every
20 votes cast for Moroni H. Thomas in
1896. The Grant section of the party
declares it will fight all fusion propo-
SltlonS to the bitter finish.

CONVENTION VERY TAME.
Cache County Republicans Dominat-
ed By the Goldites.

Logan, Aug. 27.-The Republican
county convention to name delegates
to the state convention met here this
afternoon. Thirty-fiv Republicans
We're present. ]. c. Knowles was elected
chairman and Herschell Bullen secre-
tary. Delegates were named as fol-
lows: Hans A. Petersen, E. T. Hyde,
Joseph Knowles, Joseph Odeil, H. Bull
len, 7. A. Thoresen, a. B. Irvine, Rob-
ert Murdoch, P. w. Vaughan, j. A.
Hendricksen and Mrs. j. A. Hendrick-
sen, all of Logan; Thomas Muir of Men
don joseph A. Smith of Providence,
and the following from other parts Of
the county: Peter Christensen, c. u.
Harris, James 2. Law, joseph Howell,
J. n. Hansen, Abraham Smith, Mrs
Joseph a. Smith, Mrs. Lou Rucker,
Thomas Godfrey, William H. Lewis and
Soren Hansen. OF this number about
two thirds are straight Mckinley men.
None OF them seem to have any oref-
erence for congressman or supreme
judge, and are either playing quiet
game or waiting to receive instructions
when they get to Salt Lake.
Joseph A. Smith and H. A. Petersen,
two stalwart goldbugs, practically ran
the convention. Joseph A. Smith made
the only speech, which commended Nc
Kinley and his expansion policy. No
resolutions We're adopted.
The convention was very tame.

Kaysville, Aug. PA rumor has
reached here and was being talked OF
with many expressions of approval to-
day to the effect that Hon. w. H. King
is thinking seriously of reconsidering
his determination to seek senatorial
honors, and that it is not improbable
that he may decide to again become a
candidate for the house. Such a course
on his part would meet with the most
hearty approval of prominent Demo-
Gratis of Davis county, who regret MIR.
Kings aspirations for the senate, not
because they underrate his ability, but
for the reason that they believe his
best work can be done at the other end
of the capital, where his experience has
given him prestige. 1t is evident to
one who has noticed the drift of senti-
ment during the past week that the de-
sire to have Mr.. King accept the nom
ination for congressman has been
growing and spreading in Davis coun-
ty, and it is not confined to politicians
The whole people who have watched
and applauded his achievements in
congress, want him to remain where he
is, at least for the present, and not bury
his talents in the senate. Judge Kings

be watched with keenest interest.

an idle man. The work he is doing and

desire to have Judge King accept the

Mercur Politicians Not Anxious For
the Legislature.

Mercur, Aug. 27.-The legislative
nomination does not seem to be want
ed by the members of either party in
Mercur. and it is more than likely that
the nominations will go down in the

nee for attorney, commissioner, and.
perhaps. another county office, but do
not seem to care for the legislature, be-
ing satisfied with a good Democrat.

Who Will Be Our Next President?

Politicians are now planning for the
presidential campaign of 1900, but the
war has so oVershadowed all other
matters that politics is almost unno-
ticed. Many people are of the opin-
ion that the candidates will be the
same as in 1896, but there may be a
dark horse" who will win the race.
Popularity has much to do with candi-
dates. This is also true with medicine.
The most popular remedy today is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and it has
retained this for many years. Science
never discovered the equal of this med
icine for stomach, liver and kidney
diseases. 1t builds up solid flesh It's
sues, imparts vigor and vitality to all
organs, and makes life worth living.

the better Try it.

The pleasure party was made up OF
the Whiting family and some of their
immediate friends of Bondville. and
they were going to Forest Lake in a
covered wagon drawn by four horses.
On one side of the crossing there is
quite a steep hill running down to the
tracks. AS the wagon came over the
crest of the hill and started down
toward the railroad track, the hagboy
at the foot of the hill was seen to come
out of his station to flag an approach
ing train. The momentum of the We
hicle on the steep grade was so great
that it went by the f1agboy and out
on the tracks just as the Northamp-
ton and Ware accommodation train
came along. The engine struck the
wagon in about the middle. tossing the
occupants on all sides, killing the
horses and demolishing the vehicle
