OGDEN'S FUSION DEMOCRATS.
All Now In Favor of Straight
Party Fight.
Especial to The Herald.

Especial to The Heraid.)
Ogden, Aug. 1.-THE assertions that the
signers of the recent fusion address mean
to stand by the plan of campaign outlined
therein are ridiculous in view of the real
state of facts. There is hardly a signer
of the address who does not admit priv
ately that the game of fusion is all up and
most of them say so openly.
Hyrum Belnap. manager of the Utah &
Oregon Lumber company, stated today
that he signed the address for the effect
such document would have in Washing
ton and the east lie understood that
party leaders in the east required assur-
ance that silver coinage was still held to
be of paramount Importance out here.
Il never" said Mr.. Belnap, expected
the address to have any influence on our
state or county campaign plans. Still, if
the silver Republicans had been ready to
accept our offer and cooperate. il might
have been advisable. Now l think there
is but ore thing to do. Democrats get to-
gether, work for free silver

When hostilities are opened by the

shell into the city every five minutes
ana if that is not sufficient to do the
work he will drop one into the city
every two minutes. This, in addition

OUR NAVAL SUPERIORITY.
Sec. Long Tells Why Our fiaV So Easily De-

Washington. July 1o.-Secretary Of the
Navy John u. Long says that we have
won on the sea because our ships arc
stronger and our men altogether superior
to the Spanish. TO correspondent who
asked him what contributed to the sue
cess of the United States fleets, Secretary
Long said:
"f can give you at least four reasons
olf-hand. First. | should say. the skill
and mechanical genius of our people in
building the best ships. Second the per-
sonnel of our navy is hsh-vcry high. Ii
is source of regret that the personnel
bill now pending in Congress did not pass
The navy is paid less than the army or
the marine corps. while many of its Off
GERS are men Of the highest scientific at
tainmcnts, ana the men are very eff
cient.
Third, no money has been better ap-
propriate1 by Congress for the navy than
that for target practice. All last sum
mer, fall and winter. our fleets engaged
in gunncry practice at floating ana other
targets. The crews for each gun were
| therefore. familiar with their pieces. ana
took pride in the greatest execution. The
| Spanish were very brave, but utterly in
! ferior in gunnery skill.
Fourth, the help had from my assis-
tant and the bureau chiefs. When the
navy department saw that war was ap-
preaching, the bureau chiefs were called

held personally responsible for the eff-
cheney OF their various departments. They
