Colonel TrumbO Replies.

Colonel Trunlbo was seen regarding
the matter. and expressed 2 wiling
ness to give his version of the matter,
which he did in q. very emphatic man
ner. He said: 4 have no quarrel with
President George Q. Cannon. L have
made no statement that is untrue, or
which cannot be easily proven. As to
the incident to which he takes eXcep-
ton, perhaps further statement may
refresh his memory, but whether it
does or not, it is the truth, as others
know.
Along about 1851 am not exactly
certain myself as to the precise date
I was n washington looking after
some matters Of legislation in which
the people here were interested. In the
course Of a talk with Senator Ednunds,
who was hostile to the people, said
/ could bring some young men to
Washington from Utah who would size
up with the young men from any other
part of the nation as to intelligence,
and so on. and that il they did not
come uD 10 that standard, I wouldn't
ask anything more at his hands in be-
half of the people. The matter rested
there until I came back to Salt Lake
Sme time later, when, in calling on
president Woodruff, 1 incidentally
mentioned the conversation had with
Senator Edmunda
of having some Of our young men go
on to Washington, but no action was
taken at that time. l went to CalifOr-
MIA for a short time, and on my re-
turn met President Woodruff again,
when the subject again came up. He
suggested Judge Elias =. Smith, Heber
NJ Wells and some young man from
ogden as suitable persons TO go east.
] then suggested that Frank J. Cannon
be selected from Ogden, and expressed
my confidence in his ability and use
fulness. On this occasion President
George Q. Cannon and President 10
seph +. Smith were present, and when
the conversation closed and I was
lea-ring, President Cannon expressed to
me his qualification at my statement
concerning his son. but added that he
doubted the correctness of my judg-
ment as to Franks availability for that
particular mission. That was all there
was to il, and there was nothing in the
conversation, perhaps, to impress it
self as strongly on President Cannon's
mind as upon my own, for the reason
that of those named, Frank was the
only one sent east, and L was asso-
ciated with him at different times in
washington for a considerable time.
He did deport himself in a creditable
manner and did good service. as I
stated in my address. This took oc-
casion to state, in writing to Salt Lake.
and President Cannon expressed his
satisfaction at what / had said. This
is substantially what 1 said at Ogden.
N,apd my belief is that President Cannon

hart of it.

Ogden. led up to the point OF saying
that Frank J. Cannon had not kept
faith, had betrayed his friends, and SO

we were at Washington together.
Whether that is correct or not is a
matter of record, and the people may
judge Of it,

salt Lake cLty. utah. Nov. 6. 1S98:

To the Editor of The Herald:
I am informed by reputable gentle
men who were present at a political
meeting held in the opera house at
Ogden on Saturday evening, the 5th
inst, that Colonel Isaac Trumbo, one
OF the speakers, delivered himself Of
a statement to the effect that on re-
turning once from the east, he called
on President woodruff, asking that
three young MoTmOns be sent back to
Washington to show Senator Edmunds
that, in character and intelligence, the
young men OF this community were at
least up to the average, and were quite
1itted Tor the duties OF statehood; that
Heber NJ. Wells, Elias A. Smith and q
young man from Ogden were chosen
for this mission; that he Colonel
Trumbo) personally requested that IN
stead OF the unnamed young man from
ogden, Frank j. Cannon be selected,
which was done; and that at the close
of the interview tat which l had been
present. 1 followed him Colonel Trum-
boz out of the office, thanked him for
his request Tor and interest in Frank.
but expressed the fear that he had
made a mistake, inasmuch as he
Drank was Enthusiastically, unreliable,
etc.
Silence on my part When' my own
honor and that Of my family is as
sailed, win hardly be deemed a virtue.
Averse as 1 am, and have been, to en-
tering into or saying anything which
could be construed as likely to have
an effect upon the political campaign,
this astonishing statement forces me
TO an utterance. !, therefore, take oc-
casion to declare that the entire incl
dent above narrated is a myth and a
fiction, so far as my connection with
it is concerned. ! know Of no such
interview with President Woodruff; /
know Of no such selection of men to
go to Washington as specimens of
young Utah; 1 was present at no
meeting where Colonel Trumbo offered
tsuch a proposition and made such a
sTequest; and accordingly had no such
Conversation with him, as he quotes,
q with reference to the untrustworthiness
or unreliability of my son. Simple JUS
tice to the latter, and my own self
respect, compel me to say that [ can
not recall a single circumstance which
would furnish even the slightest foun-
dation for such story-and that in
so far as Colonel Trumbo associates
me with the incident. his statement is
altogether untrue.

Chicagoan Thought to Be Kidnapped
For Purpose of Blackmail.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-The Times-Herald
says: Edgar V. McConkey, formerly a
commission merchant . South Water
street, was lured from mis- home at $50
Wlimot street at $50 this afternoon. Abb
ance an Ga ort nn I'M ms pf hs
family to locate him or to explain the alb
duction have proved unavailing. They be-
leNe it is a clear case of kidnapping for
bachmail, and the wife and mother fear
Mr.. McCOnlley has been murdered, al
though they can suggest no explanation
or motive other than a possible plot form
may have been bested in some transaction
or other. McConkey left his home in
response to a telephone call which sum-
moned him to the Upton pharmacy Mil
Waukee and Oakley avenues at $50. He
was met by two men and. although APP
parently hesitating to go with them, he
finally boarded a street car in their COM
pany. Nothing has been heard from him
since.

of other very inelegant expressions,
but he makes no reference to the chap
who turns political sonersaults or the
one who eats crow. If he wants
really good story, that describes his
character and fttingly illustrates his
present position, 1 commend to him the
story of the express train and the bull,
first applied to him by our mutual
friend, Bishop Whitney, in the consti-
tutional convention. 1t runs thus: A
bull was feeding in a pasture through
which railway track extended, along
which an express train was advancing
at lightning speed. The bull got on
the track and tried to prevent the
train from passing. He did not seem
to know what was coming, and pre-
ferring his free thought to a throne,
planted himself squarely in the way
of the invincible power that came
rushing and roaring along. The bull
did not seem to know what was COM
ing, but the farmer, his owner, did,
and with a gasp of establishment,
mingled with admiration, exclaimed:
well, admire your courage, but
damn your Judgment
What was only lack of Judgment
when the comparison was made by the
worthy bishop, 1 fear has ripened into
something worse. At that time he was
only at loggerheads with a convention,
later it was with his quorum, and now
he is engaged in cold-blooded plan
to bring trouble upon the best friends
he has in the world.
There is absolutely no religious prin-
ciple involved in this discussion, and
Mr.. Roberts attempts to drag some
thing of the kind into the campaign
are only pitiable appeals to divert pub
lie attention from the fact that his
enormous greed for office has worked
all the mischief. Aside from the trou-
bic his election would create. a man
whose character is marked by every
act that may define a demagogue and
who seems to be in constant need of a
guardian to keep him in his party
and in his church, is scarcely worthy
the suffrages of his people.
AS to my political associates and
what they have said about my father,
am quite willing to compare them,
from any standpoint, with the political
associates of Mr.. Roberts and what
they have said and what they still
say Of him. Very respectfully,
HEBER NJ. WELLS.

Ironton, o., was found drowned in the
bathtub in the fat of Frank II. Wood
row. in the Alta building. this morn
ing. a mystery surrounds the case
The woman, in company with Wood
row, Boyd Vessel and Mrs. Josie Ger
rold, a widow, had spent the night to-
gether in WoodroI's fiat, in a drunken
orgie. Today none Of the three surviv-
ors could. or would not, give an &C
count of Miss Eversleigh's death. Both
young men are under parole arrest
and surveillance, pending an examina-
ton to ascertain the cause of the
bruise on the dead girls temple. None
Of the survivors have made any at

cane, though they left no stone IN

NEW SPAPERS WIN.

Strike OF San Francisco stereotypers

pressmen and stereotypers on the daily
papers has virtually ended in a victory
for the publishers. The Sunday issues
appeared as usual. several outside engin-
men who had previously been subs aid
ing the stereotypers who remained on
duty. The strikers have practically adj
miIed their defeat by asking that the
matter be submitted TO arbitration They
demand, however, that the non-union men
who have aided TO prevent the papers
from suspending publication be discharg-

the arrival of experienced workrnen from

time the publishers are confident that
they can issue their papers with little if
any delay.

The splendid bin running at the Main
Street Vaudeville Park this week was as
popular with the audience last night as
on any former occasion. and the crowd
was a large one. Newell and Shevette
have big card in their marvellous hori-
zontal-bar act, and Harry Mcbride would
himself find il a difficult task to say
whether his songs or dances bring him
the greatest applause. or the other fea-
lures. Falk and lillian are prime favor
ties with their illustrated songs. and the
Misses Bigger and Dreher have good
voices which are most acceptably heard
i'm several artistic duets.
There will be a ladies' and children's
matinee this afternoon at 4:SO O'Clock
and the closing performance of the week
will be given tonight at the usual hour.
The bill next week will be an entirely
new one.
