The supreme effort Of the spoilsmen to re-
tain their gnp upon the public service was
made in an investigation of the civil ser
vice commission before Congress and In an
attempt to prevent appropriations of money
for its support. Mr.. Roosevelt made the
fight before the congressional committee to
sustain the commission and to strongly In
trench the civil service law. This was one
Of the most memorable contests before any
committee of Congress.
The bitterness of feeling aroused among
the advocates of the spoils system found
violent expression, and infamed with the
hope of victory they assembled their ut

Amateur Photographers Fooled.

Asupposed amateur photographer. who was
probably along the line of the procession
today taking snap shots, "got left' in front
of the Metropolitan Church yesterday just
after the conclusion of the morning service
President Mckinley's carriage was waiting
at the door, and in the large crowd of Gu
rious people was the man with the kodak.
He was in a good position to get a snap
shot, but the police directed him to get
where he would not be so near the carriage
door. Then the photographer changed his
position to near the rear wheel on the off
side of the carriage and had his instru-
ment in position. The Presidents footman
was not ignorant of what was going on, for
just as the President approached the car
riage he lifted the carriage robe and OBJ
structed the photographer view. Then the
latter endeavored to get a snap at the
President he was seated in his carriage
but the driver started off his horses and
cheated the photographer.

Banquet in Honor of A. W.
McCune's Supporters.

One of the prettiest banquets ever
given in Salt Lake was that at the
Alta club last night by A. w McCune
in honor of the members of the legis-
lature who compiimented him by their
votes in the joint session for United
States senator. A number of other
friends participated in the festivities
and a jollier crowd was never as
sen1bled around a festal board In the
absence of his father who was un-
avoidably detained in New York. E. V.
McCune acted as host and right royalty
did he play the part.
The tables were laid in the form of
a hollow square in the main dining
room Of the club. IN the centre of the
square was great bank of palms and
American beauty roses Around the
sDOtless cloth carnations were sprinkled
and at each plate was a Marechal Mel
bOutOnniere. In the ordinary Christen-
sens' orchestra gave a programme be
tween tOasts and the music contributed
much to the success of the event
The guests took their places at 9:45.
As soon as they had bees seated Mr..
McCune arose and in a few well chosen
words explained that his father could
not be present. He introduced Fisher
Harris as toast master and amid great
applause the eloquent Virginia gentle
man was assigned the seat of honor
colonel Harris was in his hapDiest
veins. He called on guest after guest
for responses to toasts, introducing
each in his own inimitable style The
talks were all felicitous and were re-
ceiveC with round after round of ap-
plause and laughter.
During the course Of the evening Mr.
McCune read these kilograms
Il have received your invitation to
be present at the banquet to be given
IN honor of the Democratic members
of the Utah legislature, to whom 1
wish to express my profound gratitude
and esteem l regret exceedingly that

less, although L am not in Salt Lake

every ballot two years ago, and he
was not ashamed of it. He considered
Mr.. McCune still the leader of the De-
mOcracy and hoped the day would
come when he would be elected to the
United States senate
County Treasurer W. H Dale was
asked to respond to the toast, "A Close
Shave" This reference to his narrow
majority for the Office he now holds
brought forth shout of laughter Mr..
Dale made the most Of his subject.
Secrets of, the McCune Campaign, -
was the subject CT an exceedingly
clever talk by B. S. Young. Mr.. Young
handled his theme in a manner that
cOnvulsed his hearers at times, and at
others he held their most serious at
tentiOn. He didn't tell any secrets, but
he had lots of fun with ex-Manager
Harris.
To Moses Thatcher was assigned the
toast, THE Future of the Democratic
Party in Utah" Mr.. Thatcher thought
the future of the party in this state
was most p 'Omising if il would follow
Mr.. McCUne's leadership.
Abel John Evans was asked to tell
why Utah County Went Republican"
In a talk that caught the banqueters
he said the only reason he could assign
was that John Henry Smith had gone
down there and camped too long dur
ing the late campaign.
Why William Glasmann Was Sent
to the Legislature" fell to Senator
Kiesel of Ogden. The senator con-
feSsed that here was mystery he had
never been able to fathOm. COntinu
ing. he spoke of the virtues of A. w.
McCune and predicted that when an
other Democratic legislature is elected
he would be chosen for senator.
