Should the next Legislature be
Democratic we could hardly expect
them to elect U. S. Senator, without
assistance. In 1897 Rawlins was elect
ed with the help of the Republicans;
in 1899 they failed to elect. These are
the only chances they have had and
we should see to it that they don't get
a chance this time. BY the way, it
was our Democratic nominee A. G..
Barber and his friends that sacrificed
a U. S. Senator in the election of 1893.

CONCERNING Mr.. BUllfN.

Herschel Bullen, Jr., Republican
nominee for State Senator, was born
in Richmond in 1870. His father is a
native of the State of Maine, his
mother coming from Haverfordwest,
Wales. His early life was spent on
the farm in Richmond and Lewiston.
He received his education in the pub
lie schools of the county, the Brigham
Young college, and the University of
Utah, graduating from the latter in
stitution in 1890. The next three
years of his life were spent in the
district schools at Richmond and
Lewiston, and in the Coop store at
Richmond. During the school year of
lS93-94 he taught school in Logan and
in April, 1894, left for Europe where
he filled mission, returning in June,
1896. Another summer was spent on
the farm, and another year in the pub
lie schools, Richmond. In July, 1897,
he was rendered, and accepted, the
position of secretary and treasurer
of the Brigham Young college, which
position he still holds. In the school
election of 1900, he was elected men,
Der of the Logan City Board of Educa-
tion, the only elective Office he ever
held. He is a man of culture, expert
ence and ability, always faithful to
the duties imposed upon him. He has
served as Republican county chair
man and has done loyal service for his
party's cause. He knows the needs of
the county, has visited every town
and hamlet and is well acquainted
with our people. The diversified oc-
equations of his life, his personal
popularity, his ability and integrity,
make him formidable candidate for
the dignified Office of State Senator,
and he goes into the campaign with
more than even chances i'm his favor.

In speaking of political gathering
at Richmond the Journal says that
"a. G. Barber proved that the country
had prospered under Democratic as
well as under Republican admins
tration." II Barber can do such
wonders as that he should give up pol
itics and travel as mesmerist or
straightforward man. The Democratic
party has long been looking for just
such man, and if the Democrats of
Cache county want to keep him in the
race for Senator, they had better keep
his fame from reaching the national
committeeman. Even Cleveland
would be willing to pay him big sal
AIRY and all expenses just to have him
travel over the country and produce
this proof. win the Journal please
give us some of this jugglery?

who went into that convention and
nominated a ticket, will hardly stand
up now and fight for those who turned
down that ticket. What assurance
have they that this faction has not
already prepared a ticket different
from the one recently nominated In
regular convention. How do the Dem
ocrats know that this faction isn't
conspiring to elect a large portion OF
the Republican ticket and but three
or four on the Democratic ticket?
What they were slick enough to do be-
fore they are slick enough to do again.
If Turner's statements are not true,
then he has perjured himself and is
liable to severe punishment; provided
the proof is forthcoming. It's up to
those interested to clear themselves,
or admit their guilt by silence.
This matter Is Of vital Importance
to every Democrat in the county and
we would suggest that they read Mr..
Turner's article carefully and then
think for themselves. 1t is sure
thing that hundreds of good, earnest
Democrats were spat upon at that
time, and when least looking for 1t,
were taken advantage of. AS an ex.
ample of what smallness was INDUCED
in by the sample ticket" people,
Turner's own case may be cited. In
the discussions between the factions,
Mr.. Turner, who had been nominated
for sheriff, very generously offered to
get of the ticket II they were dissatis-
fed with him, but they said mo" 1t
afterward turned out that they want
ed him to stay on the ticket so they
could defeat him, and they did defeat
him, but by only fifty votes. However
we have no disposition to argue this
case-Mr. Turner's article stands for
itself and is sufficiently plain.

Yes, the Journal is right, when it
says VIM. Burr is good janitor. And
VIM. Burr will be treated right and
receive his just deserts as long as he
has to deal with such friends Of the
laboring man as II. Bullen, Jr., c. c.
Jensen, J. w. Barrett and w. ii. Ap-
perley. Mr.. Worley is also a good
ianitor and should have received rec
ognition when the Democratic COM
missioners were raising their own
salaries, and the salaries of the rest of
the county officials.

According to Gordon, he has been
Republican four years and IA Demo
crat for six, and has never yet asked
political preferment.' Now isn't that
strange? win Gordon please state
why he has not sought political prefer
ment? Is it because his high sense of
the fitness Of things causes him to re-
frain from asking favors until he has
been in the party for twenty years?

TURNER'S x.RAYS.

On the first page of this paper is
to be found an article headed Cur
ner's X-Rays on the Disgruntled Dem
ocracy Of Cache county and Alleged
Church Influence" In that article
Mr.. Turner, under oath, charges the
Democratic County Chairman and a
majority Of the Democratic Central
Committee of four years ago with
having elected the Republican county
ticket at the regular fall election of
1893, and also alleges that these men
kept silent in regard to report to the
effect that the disaster to the Demo-
cratic party was due to "church infiu-
ence"-thus allowing the church to
rest under the odium attached
thereto.
Mr.. Turner in setting forth the case
says at the regular Democratic con-
vention of that year, two factions were
striving for mastery-one headed by
the County Chairman, a majority of
the executive committee and few
others; and the other faction headed
by Monson, Thoreson, Farr, Turner,
ct al. He further states that the lat
ter faction was successful and named
the candidates. AS a result the de-
feated faction became dissatisfied and
after three discussions, with both fac
lions and State Chairman Moyle pres
ent, this faction got up Sample
Ticket" to take the place of the regu-
larry nominated ticket, and proceeded
to work for its election. On this
sample ticket" were placed the names
of four Of the regularly nominated
Democrats and ten names from the
regular ticket put up by the Republi.
cans. Mr.. Turner gives fac simile
of this sample ticket" and the result
Of the election, showing that every
man on the sample ticket, with the
exception of three, were elected the
three who were defeated losing only
by 81, A, and 3s votes, respectively.
Mr.. Turner says that some of these
men whe voted against, worked against
and defeated the Democratic ticket
four years ago, are now asking Office
at the hands Of the Democrats whom
they outraged-hence these disclosures
on his part. Mr., Turner also states
that these men were willing to and
did permit their church to rest under
the accusation Of causing this whole
sale slaughter of Democrats.
Just how much merit there is in Mr..
Turner's statements, we are not pre-
pared to say. We do not know that
his honesty and truthfulness has
ever been questioned. lie bears an
excellent reputation and his state
ments are worthy of considerable con-
sideration on that score. That he has
sworn to the greater part of his state
mentS, makes them of the greatest
to the voters of Cache !
II his statements are true

ticket are surely in an unfortunate
position. The good, solid Democrats

In an article entitled "The Record
ership'' and signed with the initials
-. l.. D." some person makes a most
unwarranted attack upon the Repub-
lican candidate, Mrs. Rebecca Eames.
Just who this j. l.. ID. may be is
doubtful of course, but 1t is certain
that he is lust little Democrat" as
the letters indicate-in fact he is
about one Of the smallest of the small
fry we have heard of this season. This
fellow goes on to say that Mrs. Eames
"has no ability in that line, either ma
tural or acquired" and that "she was
nominated for that position because
she needed the salary. They do not
claim that she is in any manner fitted
for the responsibility" In writing
such stuff, j. l.. ID. does not stick to
facts and lays himself liable TO severe
criticism, The Republicans do claim
that she is fitted for the position.
That she has had any great expert
ence at clerical work is not claimed at
all, but that she is woman Of good
sense, careful management, and un-
doubted character is fact known to

plank down $3.50 to help "provide" for

along this line certainly are in bad

cised in behalf Of the paper on which
they now work for daily pittance.

The Republican has no disposition
to willfully misrepresent anything or
anybody, and in making the state
ment this week that Mr.. Hyrum Hay
ball was "out fair and square for
Turner" it was merely case of being
misinformed. The information came
from such source that we did not
feel it incumbent upon us to speak to
Mr.. Hayball about it. Hyrum admits
that he said Turner was an efficient
sheriff, and the are many who heard
him say even more than.this- hence
the statement. We regret that Mr..
Hayball was misrepresented in any
way.

NO IsTHMIAN CANAL WHY he sICKENED|
Remarkable Explanation of Lord
Pauncefote's Illness.
VISIT OF THE GERMAN PRINCE
Ambassador Wanted 1t Believed that
Great Britain Was Our Only
European Friend.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago. Jan, 21.-A Washington special
to the Chronicle says: Diplomatic circles
in Washington have q rare bit of gossip
to talk over. They have found what they
believe to be true explanation OF the
sudden and remarkable illness OF Lord
Pauncefote, the British ambassador. His
lordship was stricken the day before New
Years and he did not appear at the New
Years reception at the White House. He
was not SO Ill that he could not ride about
the city In carriage that day and on
several succeeding days. Neither was he
SO i'll that he could not transact the I'M
portant business of the embassy and re-
ceive calls from all Of his friends. His
lordship's illness appears to be Of that
character which prevented him from ap-
pearing only in public places.
The diplomats believe that it was caused
by personal cablegram from London an
nouncing in advance Of the official an
nouncement from Berlin the proposed
visit Of Prince Henry to the United States.
Nothing could have happened which was
more calculated to disturb the equanim-
ity of Lord Julian. He has worked over
time during the past three and half
years to give the impression to official
Washington, and, in fact. to the whole
country, that Great Britain is our only
friend among the powers of sEuorpe and
that Germany Is our constant and unre-
lent1ng enemy.
Lord Julian recognizes more than any
other person in the United States the, sig
nifcance OF the kaiser's selection Of the
presidents daughter to christen the i'm
perial yacht and the coming of Prince
Henry as the official bearer of an olive
branch from the German kaiser. The
diplomats and persons familiar with dip
lomatic usages all unite in saying that It
has but one significance, and that is to
emphasize the desire OF the kaiser to
establish complete cordially between his
own and this country. 2~1 -

AS A WHOLE ADVISED
Auditor Dunn Appreciates the Ap-

State Auditor Dunn to-day received a
letter from John Wilkinson, deputy state
auditor OF Michigan, acknowledging re-
ce1pt of a copy of-the new tax code. Mr..
| Wilkinson says: - .. liz --~
From, superficial examination of the re-
port, / am of the opinion that there are many
features in the suggested code superior to the

is adopted by your legislature you will have a
very satisfactory machine for the collection

his opinion concerning the reported

of Christ's miracles are mere poetic

BATTLE AT PANAM
-
Details Of the Naval Engagement Of
Yesterday.
REvoLUT1oN1sTs ARE REPuLsED
One Government Vessel Destroyed
and General Alban, Governor
of Panama, Killed.

Colon, Colombia, Jan. 21.-The erevolu-
tionary fleet, consisting of the steamers
Padilla, Garien and Gaiten, surprised the
government ships at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning in Panama harbor and a terrific
naval engagement occurred at close range.
Every vessel in the battle was damaged,
and the Lautaro, a government boat,
caught fire and sank. y General :Alban, the
governor of Panama; and many Of his fol-
lowers We're killed. IL 81 /.
Apparently the revolutionary forces In
tended to make a landing off SaQana when
they were discovered by the government
teet, anchored in the harbor. The first
move to thwart- the purposes of the revo-
lutionists drew sharp fire and the gov
.ernment forces suffered considerable loss
before the guns were manned.
The revolutionary forces apparently had
the advantage at the outset, and the tide
of battle continued in their direction
crew took to the boats. The Lautaro sank
in the harbor, while the other government
boats kept up a fierce fire that finally drove
off the attacking forces. The government
forces suffered greatly in dead and wound
ed.
The Dead Governor.
The governor of Panama, General Alban,
was thoroughly loyal to the interests of
the government and was Its mainstay on
tue lSIAu1uS. II Was ABDUL WuO recently
defeated the rebels on the isthmus and
arranged the terms for the evacuation of
Colon by the liberals. He was about so
years of age and a man Of brilliant attain
ments. Formerly he had been attorney
general Of Colombia. It is asserted that
the death of the Colombian leader may
have the effect of bringing to the govern
ment side large numbers Of men anxious
to avenge his loss.
The Lautaro, the Colombian vessel de-
stroyed, was formerly a steamer of the
South American Steamship company. She
came recently to Panama, where Alban at
tempted to buy her. Finding this could
not be arranged, he seized the vessel and
deposited in bank at Panama the amount
of her appraised value. The captain agreed
to serve the Colombian government but
the crew, supposedly composed of Chileans,
did so unwillingly, which may account for
their ready desertion of the ship. Alban
put two guns on the steamer and otherwise
converted her into government gunboat.
1t is not expected that there will be in
terruption of traffic on the isthmus as a
result of the engagement. Should such
danger arise, men will be landed from the
Philadelphia to keep traffic open.
