IT Is SILLY TALK.
Story of a Proposed Boycott on Coun-
Gilman Hartenstein.

story Oh Proposed Boycott on Coun-
Gilman Hartenstein.
Some currency was given Yesterday
to a story Of a boycott that was to be
made on Councilman Hartenstein's
place OF business by irate wheelmen.
and as usual the foundation of truth
in the story is as fiimsy and elusive as
the prospect of a midsummer frost. A
canvass of the respectable element of
cychsts Yesterday failed to reveal any
one OF Y m who would advocate any
such measure.
such talk is all nonsense" said
President G. l.. Berry of the Opal club
one of the most prominent wheelmen in
lhe city. Il don't know of any wheel
organisation in the city that is in that
Kind of business and | don't know of
any rider who considers himself among
the respectable riders who would adopt
those methods of obtaining satisfaction.
As TO the ordinance itself. | think The
Herald expressed ii very aptly when il
stated that its days would be short and
full of trouble. The first big storm that
comes along will show the utter ridicu-
iousness of such law and a speedy
repeal will follow.
No L know of no steps being taken
for the formation of a wheelmen's
pedestrians union. l think that if mat
ttrS are allowed to take their course
the absurdity of the ordinance will be-
come so painfully apparent that a re-
peal viii be necessary
President Berry was not the only one
VINO derided the idea of a boycott on
Mr.. HdrtenStein-in fact there was not
q vince nan To be found within the
corporate limits OF Zion whose opinion
on wheel matters is worth anything
mat did not characterize il as absurd
Why. you might as well begin to
work out bOycottS on every man who
voted against it, said A. w Game
including the mayor. / think the idea
ridiculous on its face and not worthy
of serious consideration. But Just the
same the wheelmen ought 10 have some
say and the proper way for them 10 go
about it is to get together at the next
election and call on the candidates and
get from them pledge that they will
vote for a repeal of this obnoxious
ordinance. | am a good Democrat my
self, but | would waive my political
feelings and prejudices to vote for a
man who opposed this ordinance in
preference to d Democrat who favored
it."
There were others innumerable who
expressed the same opinions as Mr.
realize that something ought to be done
they look on he proposed boycott as
infantile and nOnsensiCal.

Democrats Preparing to Celebrate at

Democrats N all parts of the state
are looking forward to the ratification
meeting to be held at SaItair on Thurs
day. July 10. as something that will
eclipse anything of the kind ever be-
fore attempted by the party workers.
The movement in favor of this meeting
was started BY the Woman's Demo-
cratic club of this city, and the pro-
ceeds of the day are to be turned over
to that club to be used for campaign
purposes. The ladies' were shrewd
enough to secure the cooperation of
the Democratic state committee. and
by this means the affair was given a
state significance Enthusiastic Dem
oCrdts N al parts Of the state have
taken the matter I'D. and the gather
ing promises TO be a whOpper
Fortunately Senator John w. Daniel
is expected 10 be In Salt Lake at the
time Of the gathering; if he is here he
VIII deliver one of those Democratic
speeches that have made him famous
as an orator. If Senator Daniel comes
II $ tho intention of the committee to
nave him sneak in the Salt Lake
theatre as experience has demonstrated
that the Saltair pavilion is no place for
public speaking.
TO add still more to the significance
OF this gathering on the 18th. the state
committee is called to meet the follow
ing day and the natural supposition =
that the time for holding the state con
Nentlon viii be determined at that
meeting Taken altogether it means

opened IN earnest by the Democracy of

that the heat had a tendency to give

The ball opened about II o'clock in
the morning by sorry looking plug,
attached to a light wagon. which was
cOmplacently standing outside of the
Masonic block. developing violent
Mysteries. Without any apparent
reason the animal threw his head down
and his heels up simultaneously with
great eclat. Thoughtfully placing his
hOOfs in the proximity of the dash
board. in the twinkling of an eve he
kicked a large hole in the current quo
tations of kindIing wood, likewise in
the dashboard, while the atmosphere
became surcharged with slivers and
profanity Up the sidewalk went the
horse. He didn't want the wagon or
a couple of cigar signs that thanked
the walk, but in his haste he took them
along with him while pedestrians raised
the cry Of To your tents. oh Israel"

the vehicle and then the real circus
commenced. Bucking. kicking and
squealing he proceeded to call in at
the Hill drug store. but changing his
mind on the threshold. he charged over
to the other sidewalk to give Druggist
Mathis a call.
AT this juncture he stepped on his
front feet to stand on his roman nose
with an air of extreme irritation. Up
he jumped again to give the breath
