THIS WEEK.

Ladies Will organize-Other Po-
litical News.

The week which has just come to a
close has not seen anything remark
able in connection with the political
situation. on the part of either of the
two parties, owing, in a measure. to the
fact that conference was being held,
and that many OF the people through
out the state were in attendance.
True, the opposition has kept up. the
tactics which have been pursued since
the holding of the state and county
Democratic conventions. but no effect,
other than adding to the strength or
the Democratic ticket, has been noted.
But during the coming the week the
campaign will be conducted with the
greatest vigor. Advices from all over
the state are to the effect that the
Democrats are getting together every
where, and the state committee is De-
ing importuned for speakers. Just as
fast as the announcements can be ar
ranged for they viii be given TO the
public. Hon. b. H. Roberts will speak
at Nephi tomorrow evening, when it is
expected t ere viii be an immense
gathering to hear him.
At state Republican headquarters 1t
was announced last evening that the
celebrated John p. Meakin aggrega-
ton was going to begin a tower" of
the state, and would entertain the peo-
pie at the following places, the weather
permitting: On the 18th at some place
in Davis county; on the 18th in Car
bon: on the 18th in SanDete, and on
the 21St in Sewer; on the 22nd in P1-
ute, MarySvale at noon, and CircleVllle
at I ,ght: Sunday being the 23rd, the
combination will rest from its laborS.
while Mr.. Meakin Will practice on his
new effort, The Village Merchant" ar
ranged especially for this tour. Pan
guitch will be invaded on the follow
ing day, and Glendale on the day fol-
lowing. On the 26th the party will de-
claim at OrderVille at noon, and at Mt.
Carmel and Kanab later in the day. st.
George Will be visited on the. 9th. c.
dar City will get the party on the next
daS. AT noon of the 18th the comblna-
ton will meet at Parowan 1T noon, and
at Beaver at nigh Then another sun
day having arrived, the party will take
a rest. Oct. 81 Will see the people at
Milford. and on the first of the month
at Fillmore. On the 2nd at noon the
party will be at Holden. and at Des-
eret at s o'clock in the evening of the
same day, returning to NeDhi for the
evening of the 3rd.
It Will be noticed that no arrange
mentS have been made at all for the
appearance of the combination in this
city. The chairman and secretary of
the state committee have made no ar
engagements as yet for the exhibition Of
their combination in any of the larger
cities of the state, but 1t is believed,
after the candidate has 'practiced' on
the rural districts, he can be permitted
TO say a few words to the people in
towns. Perhaps on the evening before
the election his voice will be heard
here, and an evening or so before that
in the precincts Of Ogden.
1t was stated yesterday that the Re-
publicans have been considering the
matter of a joint debate with Mr.. Rob
erts, but at the earnest solicitation OF
Mr.. Eldredge that subject was per-
united to go by default. The pro-
gramme was accordingly arranged as
given.
