Samuel B. Westerfield
the Speakers.

There was Il rouslng American rally
nt Alta. the famous old mining camp,
last night. The speakers were y, o.
Jacobson, who has extensive interests
mt Alta; Tom Pitt and Samuel B. Wes-
terfield. The hall in which the meet
ing was held was inadequate to accom-
modatc tho crowd which turned out
and many people could not gain admit
lance. The speakers were frequently
interrupted by applause and the meet
ing, as II whole, was one of the most
enthusiastic ever held in Salt Lake
county. The speakers left Salt Lake
last evening in an automobile, which
took them to Sandy and from there
they went by horsepower to Alta.
They took with them q large number
of American flag-buttons and, with one
exception, every miner in the camp
sigma. Tonight the same speakers will
address n gathering ct Sandy and 1T
is expected that the American drum
corps will be in attendance.
Judge William IL King, who was
the principal speaker at a church Demo
cratic meeting in the Sixth ward meet
falls out of the church Republican
party in general and Apostle Smoot IN
particular. Judge King criticised, IN
the most severe manner, the editorial
appeals of the Smootite organ to Nor
mon Democrats to stand by the Repub-
lican party, declaring that, If the adj
vice is taken and Mormon Democrats
combine with Mormon Republicans, the
result will be that all GcntlleS Will be
driven into the American party and
that the very thing that the Mormon
people wish TO avoid will materializc-
Judge Powers and d. j. Williams also
made speeches along the same lines as
those followed by Judge King.
The announcement in Fridays Trib.

the Pinkerton force had been here for
two weeks past in the interest OF the
hierarchy, the object being TO spy upon
Salt Lakers for the purpose, if posi-
Bile, of besmirching and blackening the
character of certain citizens, was like
a bolt of lightning from clear sky to
the church crowd
The band of twenty-six was under
the impression that their detectives
would not be run down and spotted as
the latter were spotting certain citl.
zens. Hence the announcement startled
them as IL did all Salt Lake.
The result of the announcement was
that the three men were consplcuously
absent from their usual haunts yester-
day. They had taken to the woods.

Mt a political rally in that city was
the portion of Joseph Howell there
Thursday evening. There were not TO

", at Republican rally, standing room
at the opera house is at n premium
Even w r. Rydalch. the we'll known
orator. with horid display of oratori-
eal pyrot technics, failed to inject any
enthusiasm into the audience. Con-
gresham Howell is not the popular can
didatc in Sewer county that he has
been in the past. Sewer county did
not want his denomination, and from
present indications is not very anxious
about his reelection.

announced to be held in the open air
in front of the Cullen hotel Friday
night was postponed on account of the
incemency of the weather. A due re-
gard for the comfort of the crowd
