A STRONG, POPULAR TICKET.

county convention Of last Saturday.
however. nothing of this kind has hap
pcned but Just The reverse.
On the afternoon and evening of the
day on which those nominations were
made. everybody was enthusiastic for
them Everybody was shouting that il
was the best possible ticket. aud that
the convention had done its work in
splendid style.
The days of reflection which have in.
tervcned have not in any way modified
the Judgment expressed AT the time of
the convention and when the convention
had Just adjourned Everybody was
full of enthusiasm for the ticket then ;
everybody is full of enthusiasm for it
now. There is no question but the
ticket is strong one, that it was well
launched, and that 1t is standing upon
"A platform of Justice, and with a 6ne
certitude OF efficient service on being
installed into office; a service lacking
now in the administration Of county af
fairs, but always desirable.
h,,t Il nd
words for the nominees. nothing but
praise for the convention itself, the sub
stance OF the work which it did, and
the way in which it did that work. 1t
was glorious day altogether, a white
letter day for Amercanism in Utah.
This is the universal public judgment,
not only in the American party, but it
is also the Judgment of members of
other parties who know the men who
were nominated. and who are capable
of candid judgment on their merits and
qualifications,
And so the ticket being n particu
larly good one, and standing upon r.
platform which pledges the county nom
lnees when elected TO the best possible
public service, and the legislative nom
inces TO hold aloof from any combina
ton with other parties, a thing dis
tinctly desirable to avoid, the Ameri-
can party appeals TO the voters of this
county in behalf of its ticket, knowing
that it is well worthy of their support,
and that the service which the nominees
will give when inducted into the offices,
will be striking advance in efficiency
and impartial service to all members of
the community alike, and to the advan'
'age of the taxpayers in every way.
The nominees for Representative IN
Congress and for Justice of the Supreme
Court of the State, are also of the most
desirable citizenship of Utah. They do
not expect to be elected, but they con
sent to the use of their names In the
public interest, and to vludicate the
great principles for which the Ameri'
can party stands; and in so doing they
give a noble evidence of their devotion
70 those principles in the sacrifice they
rake in consenting to make a hopeless
run for Office They deserve we'll of the
public of this State. and particularly
well of all the citizenship which stands
for purity III politics, against bossism,
and Of those who desire to shake off
the usurping and soul-killing control
of corrupt, lecherous and ayaricious
priesthood.
