SPECIAL to The Heraldl


Springville. Utah. March 15.-The Re
publieans opened their campaign here
tonight with ex-senator Brown ana u.
S. Tanner as the speakers. F. c. Boyer
introduced the speakers. The house
was fairly well filed, and rippIes OF ap-
plause rolled over the house occasion
allv.
Tanner was the first speaker. and be-
gan by saying the special election was
caused by the mistakes of the Democ-
racy. This statement aroused not even
a litter. He attacked the last legisIa-
ture for falling to elect a senator.
Senator Brown, on being introduced,
looked 60 savage that one would have
thought that he came to eat his aud
fence, and not entertain them. He ar
ralSned the Democracy, reviewing the
situation, past and present. The Demo-
cratic platform. he said, was nothing
but an attempt to find fault with every
thing. He then reviewed Americas his
tory since the Louisiana purchase,
dealing with our territorial expansion.

ton of what we should dc wit ne
foreign possessions, and especially the
inhabitants of the possessions, the ex-
senator became somewhat mixed. and
then branched off TO the American IN
dian and the negrOe as regards 10 their
equality with the white man. From
the Indians he landed on the Porto
Rican tariff bill. and said no matter
what the Republicans did in the matter
the Democrats would find fault with
their work. In speaking Of the declara-
ton OF our late war with Spain. the
senator raked Senator Rawlins and ex-
Senator Cannon over the Goals and con-
demned their positions. He said that
We had no use for silver, except as a
subsidiary coin. and it's place could be
taken by any other medium for sub
sidiary coin. He declared that our war
debt was forced upon US by the Demo-
Gratis.
Senator Brown secuted the idea Of

BoER REPLY TO SALISBURY.
Secretary Reitz Shows That Great
Britain Began the War.


Pretoria. Wednesday, March a.
State Secretary Reitz's REPUTATION Of
Lord Salisbury's arguments in the reply
to the Bloemfontein joint-note was is
sued today. Mr.. Reitz says:
The British government after the
Bl0emfOntein conference, endeavored TO
enforce by threats certain changes in
the internal government Of the Trans
wal republic, contrary 10 the London
convention. They also imported troops
in great numbers and broke off negOtia-
tions with a threat to take their own
means to remove the grievances Of their
subjects.
After waiting a fortnight, while an
army corps was prepared and the re-
serves were being called out by the
British, President Steyn asked the rea-
aon of these proceedings. Sir Alfred
Miner refused to reply
Meanwhile Mr. Chamberlain. in his
speeches. showed the world that Eng
land had decided on war Accordingly
the Transvaal republic addressed to the
British government a demand for the
withdrawal of their troops. as other
wise it would accept the presence Of the
troops as a declaration of war. That
was not necessarily intended ASA mes
sage of war"
Concerning the ornaments Mr. Reitz
says: These were bought openly in
England and in Europe and the high
commissioner boosted full knowledge Of
them at the Bloemfontein conference,
and also full descriptions of those arm
aments were found among the officers
papers at Dundee.
Both the army and the ultimatum
were protective measures, subsequent
40 the raid and 20 the discovery through
concealed cables, that British cabinet
ministers were implicated in the at
tempt TO filch away the independence
OF the republic. Now all doubt it re-
moved by Lord Salisbury's telegram.
The burghers must fight for their ma
tiOnal existence. trusting that God will
defend the right"

TO a county Office unless he has been
an elector Of the county for six months.
The witness explained that this law
applied TO an elective Office. He was
closely questioned as to his alleged eff
forts to secure testimony from Simp-
kins. He said it was reported to him
that Simpkins had damaging testimony
to the effect that three of the prisoners
in he 81 ZEN D TT patad in b Ow ng
UP the mill but he was afraid of his life
if he gave this testimony. He (FOrney)
then assured Simpkins of protection
and said he would recommend TO the
court his exoneration, but Simpkins
would make no statement
The witness said he was an attorney
for the Bunker Hill mine about year
prior to the disturbance and now he
was attorney in a case against them.
The witness was examined at length
on the legal rights involved in the sus-
pension of the writ Of habeas corpus,
etc. He said the writ had not been
suspended in Idaho although the action
Of the governor and the holdings of the
court might have had that practical
effect. He maintained, however, that
the denial of writ of habeas corpus
in particular cases did not operate as
a general suspension Of the system.
The crOss-examinatiOn by Mr.. LentZ
and Mr.. Sulzer was directed to showing
that the attorney general of Idaho
demurred to the application OF habeas
corpus and in effect held that the writ
was suspended.
A heated controversy arose over the
hypothetical question by Mr.. Lentz as
TO whether if a sister of charity had
been put in the bull PEN she could
have secured a writ Of habeas corpus.
The answer was that no such condition
could have existed.
When Mr.. Lentz pressed the question
Mr.. Stevens of Minnesota sharply pro-
tested that the question was absurd
and nonsensical-"
Mr.. LentZ declared the witness was
seeking to evade the question where
upon the witness turned TO the Ohio
member and said:
Declined TO Answer.
'T am perfectly honest in this matter.
I want you to understand sir"
The witness finally declined TO answer
the question further
Representative Hay Of Virginia
raised the point that this placed the
witness in contempt and asked for a
vote on holding the witness to be in
contempt
A controversy of half an hour fol-
lowed, bringing frequent sharp and
rather personal exchanges between
Marsh Of Illinois and LentZ OF Ohio.
The question was finally changed and
the controversy closed.
When the witness was asked as to
his politics Mr.. Jet OF Illinois inquired
if the investigation was to be On politi-
cal lines. Mr.. Marsh answered that in
his opinion the investigation was con-
ceived and executed for political pur-
poses.

lN---~--(~-y
Provo. March 15.-Statements were
made by the Hammond contingent
while campaigning Utah county that
Democrats here propose to refute. In
Provo, Pleasant Grove and other places
in Utah county, George A. Smith, in an
endeavor to illustrate the benefits IF the
protective tariff, pointed to Lshi as
manufacturing city, and said there was
not a single taxpayer there published
as a delinquent last year. The gentle
man either told something that he knew
to be absolutely false, or else he had
not taken the pains to look into the
matter thoroughly. The county records
show th4t in 1897 the name Of sixty-one
delinquent taxpayers Of Lehi were pub
lished. and that nine sales were made
by the sheriff to satisfy the delin-
quency; that in the year 1898 there were
ninety-nine delinquents and thirty-six
Gales. and in 1899 there were eighty
three delinquents and thirteen tax
sales. In addition to this, there are
forty-one unredeemed sales on file in
the tie suIer's office today. 1t is an i'm
position on the people for stumpers to
come out in either a willful or ignorant
miastatement of facts.
