UINTAH CAMPAIGN.
Candidates For Legislature and
County Offices-Convention Date.

County Ofices-Convention Date.
VernaI, Sept 9.-The Democratic
county convention has been fixed for
Oct. / The call recommends that the
precinct primaries be held on the 24th
of the present month. A lively time is
anticipated at the primaries, more par
ticularly in the Vernal precincts
1t is not believed that the name OF
Hardin Bennion will come before the
county convention for representative,
should he fail of the nomination for
state senator at Price next Monday,
although some of his friends are deter
mined that he shall go to the legis-
lature. if not as senator, then as rep
resentative.
The action of Lycurgus Johnson in
presenting the name of Bennion for
the consideration of the convention
last Tuesday, and the efforts there put
forth to have the delegation instructed
to work for that gentleman at Price,
is looked upon by many as a shrewd
move on the part of Johnson to clear
the way for his own nomination at the
county convention, to be held on oct. l.
Mr.. johnson was a member of the
territorial legislature from this county
at one time, and also of the constitu-
tional convention, and at that time had
the united Democracy of Uintah county
y
mitted the indiscretion of bolting the
regular local organization and allowing
his name to appear on the Republican
ticket for county commissioner, after
having participated in the convention
of his party, and securing the nomina-
ton of two of his friends upon the
Democratic ticket
The woods are full of candidates for
sheriff, and the number is daily in
creasing. Town Marshal John Pope is
now considered in the list of candi-
dates, and it is generally believed that
the contest will be between him and the
present incumbent, Sheriff William
Preece.
Full-fledged candidates for the office
of county commissioner have as yet
not appeared upon the political hori-
zon.
From present indications, Peter Han
son, the present incumbent, will have
a walkover for the office of county
clerk.
The name of William Ashton has
been mentioned of late in connection
with the Office of county attorney. Mr..
Ashton has served in this capacity be-
fore. and. in fact, has probably been
elected to county offices more times
than any other man in the county.
Should Mr.. Ashton conclude to allow
| his name to go before the convention
in this connection, he will find opposed
/ to him the name of Charles P. Gable,
who has many friends who would like
to see him capture the nomination.
George A. Slaugh, who is at present
a county commissioner, is an avowed
! candidate for county treasurer. The
name of Ward Z. Pack is also men
| toned in this connection.
While there is no active contest on
in connection with the office of as
SCISSOR, the names of Snellen Johnson
and Herbert Tyzack are mentioned.
There are no candidates in sight as
| yet for the office of surveyor.

to contract, be in perfect condition"
The paving company Is ready to make
needed repairs, and that they may be
properly done, the board recommends
that the council give it authority to
employ an inspector. Heretofore, when
no inspector has supervised the work
in the interest of the city, some repairs
have been effectively made, and the
consequential cost to the city, as after
ward demonstrated has been much
more than would have been in the first
instance, if good repair work had been
done
STREET NUISANCES.
The wooden aprons used as a means
of ingress and egress by vehicles over
curbS and cutters to and from private
property, were pronounced a nuisance
by the board. They catch filth in the
cutters and interfere with the flushing
and with the street sweeping. The
board recommends the abolition of the
aprons and in lieu thereof the cOnstruc-
ton of return curbS and paving, at
the expense of abutting property.
In the same connection, Mr.. Hale
called attention to the deplorabie con-
dition of the cutters along First and
Second South streets. The accumula-
ton of filth emits foul odOrs and cannot
fail to create unsanitary conditions OF
the worst kind. WaterwOrkS Superin-
tendent Game suggested that the con-
ditions were so aggravating that if the
discussion of the subject were prolong-
ed he would feel unsafe in passing

polluting the cutters with the contents

Correspondence of LIE Temps from
Manila: 1t was only the 18th of May
that the chief of the Philippine insur-
gents. Aguinaldo, having quilted Hong
kong. where he had retired after the
convention of Biacnabato. landed at

was recalled by Commodore Dewey,

welcome That of the natives was en-
thusiastic.

of the Philippine archipelago, which Is
the title that he proposes TO assume
shortly, has much pleased the Amerl-
cans. and they, on the order OF the

until the rebellion. His family titled

ready to strengthen the party in the
county Some of Utah's best speakers
and campaigners have already been en-
gagged and speeches will be made in
every precinct in the county during
the campaign. Hon. William II. King
has signified his Willingness to canvass
the county, and there are several others
who will be heard between now and
election day.
On the other hand. the Republicans
are hopelessly divided. and there is but
one man on their ticket, the candidate
for representative, of which they have
any hopes. The impression is abroad
that the coal companies at Castle Gate
and Scofeld ran the late Republican
convention in their own interest and
permitted the naming of only such men
for office as were agreeable to them.
The colored individual in the woodpile
hobs up in the shape of rebate of
taxes against coal mining property,
which amounts to several hundred dol
lars and which was paid under protest.

mated Hardin Bennion of Vernal for
senator over NJ. E. Johnson of Emery

only one ballot was taken.
Bennion is a strong silver man, and,
though not pledged, will. it is said, sup
port King for the senate.
The convention adopted resolutions
reaffirming the Chicago platform, en-
dorsing Kings record in congress and
denouncing the efforts of the Mckinley
administration to fasten the gold
standard upon the people. It also
praised the services rendered the coun-

and denounces the treatment of the
soldiers in camp and in hospitals by
an incompetent war department.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE 20-round
bout for the lightweight championship
of the world between Frank Erne and
kid Lavigne, that vas to have been
the opening contest at the Hawthorne
Athletic club at Cheektowaga tonight,
was stopped by Sheriff Kilgallon before
the men came together in the arena.
a crowd of about 1000 people had
gathered in the big arena early in the
evening. The sheriff and a score of
deputies were in the ring, when Lon
Beckwith of Cleveland and Jack O'Con-
nell were ordered on for the prelim-
mary bout. The sheriff declared that
he would not permit any contest to take
place.
John w. Fisher, attorney for the town
of Cheektowaga, demanded that the
club be given the use of its property,
and the boxers were ordered to shake
hands.
Before a blow could be struck, the
deputies seized the boxers and forced
them to their corners and then released
them. once more the boxers We're or
dered to get together. O'Donnell rush

grappled with them, and for few min

and Beckwith and O'Donnell were once
more compelled to take their seats. The
spectators were greatly excited and
roundly denounced the action of the
sheriff, but no open act of violence was
committed.
A long and wordy wrangle between
the sheriff and attorney then occurred,
and after a long delay, Beclxwith and
O'Donnell left the ring.
~ Erne and LaVi~ne were then intro
duced to box under the provisions of
the Horton law" The men We're in

be prevailed upon to let them come to-

Finally it was announced that the
bout was off The club therefore OBJ
tanned a long list of witnesses, and de-
clared that the club would Immediately
bring action against the sheriff for
damages. The crowd then dispersed.
The sheriff did not arrest either of the
participants in the early bout, not
withstanding the managers ordered
them TO resume fighting, evidently with
that purpose.

for Oct Is, will depend upon the result
of the action brought against the

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-Joe Choynski
had all the best of his bout with Joe
Goddard tonight at the Arena. God
dard was considerably heavier than the
Californian. but he lacked in science.
Choynski made a choDping block OF
the Australian, and several times it
looked as though Goddard would not
be able to stay the full six rounds.
There was but little fighting in the
opening round. The men exchanged
rights on the face, and Goddard landed
a light left on Choynskis chest.
In the second round Choynski landed
several hard lefts on Goddard's face.
but the latter could not get in a good
blow.

landing almost at will. In the closing
round Goddard fought wildly, while
Choynsh was calm and banged God
dard on the jaw, sending him to his
knees Choynski landed hard and often,
but he could not stop the Australian.
When the gong sounded spectator
jumped into the ring and attempted TO
hit Goddard. but he was quickly thrown
from the platform.
