Other Political News.

Generally speaking, the politicians
yesterday remained at home, or went to
church. But a few of them were on
siastic over the work of the cenven-
ton, which was pronounced first-class.
1t is conceded that all classes have OBJ
tanned representation, and that geo
graphically the location Of the candi-
dates is a first-class one. The county
now has five members of the leSisla-
ture, one commissioner, the recorder,
the assessor, which is considered as an
ample share, and the best Of good feel
ing is expected to prevail on that ac-
count.
An effort is being made by the op-
position to belittle the ticket. but it is
feeble one. The Tribune, foiled in it's
purpose in defeating the nomination Of
Clerk Dunbar has a kick coming. 1t
will doubtless keep up the fight on him,
but nothing will come of it.
REPUBLICAN CALL.
In all probability the county commit
tee of the Republicans will hold a
meeting early this week to formulate
a call for a county convention. 1t is the
intention of the party to nominate a
full and complete ticket for the county
offices, although up to this time no can
didate has appeared, with the exception
of Bryan Young for the clerkship and
I. NJ. Fisher for auditor.
By the way. Fisher was disappointed.
He was laboring In the belief that be-
cause George Swan was selected as city
auditor against two women, he could
be elected if the Democrats would NOM
mate woman. So he hung around the
Democratic convention, an interested
spectator, with a yearning for a wo-
man candidate When Wood was Sc
lected he was disappointed. However,
Fisher will make the race just the
same, and will no doubt be favored
with the nomination.
REPUBLICAN ASPIRANTS.
Just who the candidates for the other
county offices will be is q question.
There is no particular rush for the
places. The Republicans console them
selves with the statement that the
office will seek the candidate, and take
high moral grounds on that basis. 1t
was not always thus. Time was, when
the Republicans were in power, that
the rush for place was such that it was
hard to decide who was the man. By
the way, perhaps J. ]. Greenewald can
succeed in landing as county commits
sioner this fall, that is to say, for the
nomination.
Then, too. it is understood that Peter
Condie wants a vindication, and as he
has some money to burn this autumn,
as a result of transactions in sheep, he
is going to try to make the race again.
Peter is going to try a new tack this
time. He will speak instead of singing.
Charlie Post is candidate for legiS-
lative nomination. He will doubtless
run for the state senate. Charlie lives
down in the Second. is a pleasant gen.
tleman, fairly good-loOking, of kind and
gentle disposition. and ordinarily quite
popular. He would get as many votes
as any man the Republicans might
nominate; perhaps more than some of
them. Fred c. Loofbourow, who consti-
tuteS all that is left of troop A of the
Utah national guard, is a candidate for
the same office. He banks on getting
the unanimous support of the entire
organization TO which he belongs. Par
ley P. Christensen, former secretary of
the constitutional cOnventipl, who is
now IN our midst" is anGther candi-
date. Farley stands very highly with
the members of his party, on account
of the stand he has taken in yielding
answering devotion to the administra-
ton and silver at the same time. he
has not firmly decided to enter the lists,
but thinks OF it.
Judge Wiley Brown is a candidate for
county attorney. Wiley expects to re-
Ceive the nomination on the first ballot,
and viii then enter the race with all
his old-time Vigor and vehemence. But
he has a hard man TO go uD against
in the person of Graham F. Putnam,
and realizes it.
