had all I could do TO get the man that
shot me- ] guess he won't bother US

The suggestion being made that he

STILL TRUE TO C0LORS..
Prominent Democrats Deny a Repub-
Iican Campaign Canard.

A@Nc~-A O@~-~ OcN-@e~A -
The Republican national committee
has been circulating a list of prominent
Utah Democrats who will this year
support Mckinley. This list has gone
all over the country and was no doubt
used effectively by Chairman o. j..
Salisbury to induce Mark Hanna to
send in gold and speakers to redeem
the state from free silver. On this list
is to be found the name of eX-MayOr
John Clark. Mr.. Clark was told about
this yesterday, and asked what he had
to say about it.
oh he said; this is the first I have
heard of this. There is nothing in it.
John T. Gaines was another name
that appeared on this list that is being
sent over the county Mr.. Caine re-
pudiated it when the matter was called
to his attention.
Some fellow called upon me some
time ago" said Mr.. Caine, and told me
that he was going to put me down as
Democrat who was out this year for
Mckinley. / told him if he did 1 would
break him in two. That is the only
foundation that Ifknow of for anybody
making such a statement
Charles s. Burton, cashier of the
State Bank of Utah. is another victim
of this fake. His name is on this list
and is being circulated about the coun-
Try to bolster up the failing spirits of
the Hannaites. He repudiates it and
is the same stirling Democrat that he
always was.
The list was made UP for the most
part of Republicans who supported
Bryan four years ago on the silver
issue. and who this year are support
ing Mckinley and the gold standard.
Prominent among these are, of course
Tom KearnS. Governor Wells, o. J.

SURE OF A BIC
BRYAN VICTORY
Democratic Managers Figure
on Basis of Maine Result.
CLAIM A GAIN
OF EIGHT STATES
Hanna Refuses to Comment
Payne ''POOh-POOhs."

Chicago, Sept. 11.-There was rejoic-
ing today at Democratic headquarters
over the result of the election in Maine.
Secretary Walsh and National Commit
teeman Johnson prepared a set of fig
ures based upon their percentage gains
in Maine, upon which they claim these
states for Bryan:
Maryland by a majority of 5000; In
diana, $4,000; Michigan, $4,000; Mime
sofa. 1000; Kentucky, $4,000; West Vir-
ginia, 10000; California, $1,000; Della
ware, 1000; North Dakota, 1000; Hi
nois. $4,000.
The Democratic gain in Maine was
% per cent" said National Committee
man Johnson, and the Republican loss
was Il per cent, based on the vote cast
in 1896 If similar results are obtained
IN other states now claimed by the Re
publicans, Mr.. Bryan cannot fell of
election The ratio, if maintained, in
New York would not give US that STATE,
but it would cut down the Republican
majority TO $4,000 from the majority
of 26S GOO in SO
The result is more than gratifying
coming after the Republican slump in
vermont. 1t shows that the ReDub-
hcans of Maine are dissatisfied
William J.. Bryan, who remained in
his room at the Auditorium hotel all
day preparing a number of speeches
which he viii begin Thursday at Fort
Wayne, Ind, declined to discuss the
Maine election further than to say that
the result was no more gratifying
tnan he had expected, and that similar
Democratic gains would follow all over
the country in the November election
Mr. Bryan will leave for Fort Wayne
tomorrow afternoon.
Hanna Refuses to Talk.
Senator Hanna, whose time WAS oc-
cupied in informal conferences with
members of the national advisory COM
mittee, declined to express an opinion,
but Vice Chairman Payne of the Re
publican national executive commit
tee, speaking for him, said: The re-
suit in Maine has no bearing on the
national election and was in no sense
disappointment TO the Republicans
We are cofident as ever and our conf
dence is growing I do not pretend to
say the cause of the apparent Re0ub-
hcan loss
An afternoon visitor at Republican
headquarters was Senator Thomas H
carter of Montana, who held a confer
ence with Senator Hanna. Senator
Carter said:
Montana is conceded to be a close
state, Sbut my opinion is that it will
go Republican this fall, regardless of
the fact that the Republicans have a
majority of more than 1900 to over,
come Free silver is playing an insig-
nlfcant part in our campai0n''

Coloneps Friends Shocked.

The death of Colonel PrOuse was a
shock to his many friends. They knew
the bullet fired by Lynch had penetrat-
ed the delicate parts of the body and
they. knew the patient was weak, but
his condition through the day had been
so encouraging that when the last re-
port came. they could scarcely believe
it At o'clock in the afternoon. Colo
mel Prouse told his story of the at
tempted hOld-Up and the shooting TO a
Herald man and earlier in the day he
had discussed in a jOcuIar manner his
failure to make all the bullets he fired
effective. He said at $50 he was not
feeling well and from that time on his
strength seemed to decrease. But not
until did the attendants at st. Marks
note any great change for the worse.
