and 1898 is being groomed by some OF
his church Democratic friends Tor the
nomination again this fall At the time
OF his former candidacy and election MT
Hall was the candidate OF both the Dem
ocratic and Populist parties. There will
be objection to Mr. Hall at the present
time, upon the ground that he Is
Socialist, it being claimed that he affl-
liated with that party TO certain extent
during the past few years Mr Hali
says, however,. that he is n Democrat;
and he certainly ought to know

present campaign that has apparently
been overlooked. Up to date not single

young. and the ladies may be heard from

The Smoot press. in very weak way,
is attempting to answer The Tribune
expose OF how the taxpayers in Utah
county are given the double Cross by
the Smootites An attempt is made to
explain away the interest warrant OF
Sl47041 on which WAS issued another
warrant Of 5000 on July TO pay in-
terest on interest. The Smootites can
figure till doomsday and they cannot
alter the fact as stated by The Tribune.
The figures as given by The Tribune can
easily be verified by reference to the
Utah county records. In speaking OF the
salaries as paid to the Smoot hirelings
in Utah county, the organ" printed in
Salt Lake City. says: Probably salaries
have crowded up, but then the county
has grown. But in the financial state
ment OF the county for 1878 the sal
aries appear as s20.0S0,S7." The writer
of the sentence quoted knew he was
quoting an untruth when he so states
because the Auditors report for the
year does not show anything OF the kind

The figures given by the County All
ditor. s20.0s0.S7. as paid in salaries in
1S979S are correct in so far as the
Smoot expert CD could see, but IL he
had taken the pains TO find out what he
was talking about he would have plainly
seen that the period for which the
$4,000 covered WAS for more than four
teen months, and is 30 stated by the
