The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-09-25

There is all kinds of sentiment pre-
vailing concerning the Republican
ticket nominated on Friday. The Nc
Kinley faction, or wing, is jubilant
over the matter and the manner in
which they hoodwinked the silver
crowd, and the latter are in deep gloom
because they were outgeneraled at
every point, and the Tribune people are
sore because they were not in it, ex-
cept to a limited extent.
Arthur Brown is smiling and happy.
It's a good ticket" he said. That was
all that need be said, because Arthur
ran things to suit himself, especially in
relation to the legislative ticket. 1t
was Arthur who scanned the list of
| names, and it was Arthur who said
this man and that man could be NOM
| mated. He only fell down once. That
! was when Mrs. Emmeline 3. Wells was
! selected. Then Arthur said something
which sounded like jam, or ram, or
| ham or Sam, or something similar.
She is a Frank Cannon man." was
! his rather paradoXical remark. Down
| her. Well, the Brown boys tried, but
! they could not pass the word quick
! enough. 1t was too late. Had the in
! formation got out quick enough it
would have been all right.
! Jim Devine helped spoil Arthur's
plans. Politically speaking, Jim has
| head as thick as a bridge plank. He is
all right making a speech; has bass
voice, which vibrates and rolls around
quite pleasantly, but when it comes to
! getting bright ideas through his skull,
he is slower than the approaching
wrath. Jim didn't know that Aunt
! Emmeline was Cannon man, and he
did not know who Mrs. Edna L. Smith
] i
| thought Mrs. Smith was the wife of
Grant H. Smith, and the manner in
which he poured out his soul on the
/ floor for the nomination of the two
| ladies. was so earnest and toilsOme that
! Brows sat in his stall and prayed for
! some one to go over and hit Devine
with "a club, and a big club at that.
But otherwise the ticket was all right
| for Brown, and if he is a candidate
next winter, as he will be, and by any
sort of miracle the ticket, or a portion
of it, should be elected, all, with the
exception of Mrs. Wells, will vote for
Arthur. That is as sure as the fate
which awaits all of US.
Brown was we'll satisfied when the
/ legislative ticket was selected. ITO
think of it, he soliloquized. Got that
fellow Thomas in the chair, where he
cannot work, and run the machine.
That's glory enough. Let's go outside
and get a breath of air"
But his lieutenants said no. Stay
here and finish the job. Nominate Nc
Kinley men for everything in sight. So
they stayed and that is why it is a
mystery Mont Fisher is on the ticket
They didn't do a thing to the balance.
Note how the Philistines slew Paul and
Matson and the balance of the silver
men who dared put their heads above
water.
The Tribune did not comment on the
personnel of the aggregation at all yes
terday morning. 1t had not sufficiently
recovered from the shock to make an
intelligent effort. All eyes are waiting
to see what it contains this morning.
Some of the candidates declare they
expect cold comfort from the organ
OF the reunited today.
CONDIE WILL PUT UP.
One nomination has pleased the boys
who go down into the wards and DO the
buttonholing, and that is the selection
of Peter Condie. 1t is rumored that
Peter intends spending from $4,000 to
81, 900, and as a result the hearts of the
gang are glad. Peter will be the recip-
lent of more attention from now until
election day than he ever received in
all his life. Two years ago he spent
money freely, and his managers made I
for him quite reputation, but he could
not land, and now a herculean effort |
is going to be made.
1t is announced by friends of Peter !
that he will not sing this fall. He is !
going to try to make some speeches. He |
has been told that a man cannot sing |
himself into an office, but has got to |
display some ability as a man of orig |
inality before he can hope for advance
ment.
The nomination of Graham did not |
meet with the lusty bowls of approval |
which were expected. The laboring ele- |
ment declare he should not have made |
the attempt. What they wanted was
for Artie to go to the legislature, so |
their faction could have secured some |
favorable legislation, instead of seeking !
to jump into an office where he can do /
no one any good save himself. And /
now that ii is all over, the boys are /
questioning the competency of the |
young man to fill the place. True, Joe |
Cottle, as chief deputy, would help |
along, but what can Urry do to make
the situation any better? Graham will |
have to have some good man in the
Office to keep matters straight, and this
fact will initiate against the party. OF
course, all this argument is based on
possibility of his being elected. Moth
ing will ever come of it, save talk.
The anti-fusionists lost a thousand
votes Wnen they rejected the oVerlureS
to elect Hall, or endorse him. Henry
W. Lawrence would have added
strength to their ticket to the extent
of his support. But the McKinleyites
did not want to fuse because this would
cause comment down in Washington,
and might not tickle Mark Hanna and
the balance, and who knows but some
patronage may be in sight soon?
The nomination of Gill S. Peyton was
a mistake, so far as securing the votes
of silver Republicans is concerned for
he is a man in no wise favorable to the
interests of silver, being so thoroughly
identified with the policies of the party
that he would support any measure
adopted by it, so long as it was en-
dorsed by the members of the party to
which he belongs.
The Herald was in error yesterday
when it stated that L. NJ. Earl filed
place at the st. Louis convention. He
did not. This statement is made of The
Herald's free will and accord, and not
because attention has been directed to
it. But this cuts little figure, for he is
q supporter of Mckinley at this time
and of the administration, no matter
what he may have been two years ago.
Pickard is said by his friends to be a
