Show 1, f i DEMOCRATIC P0LITIC8. ' J Local Democrats aro awaiting the , ., , return of National Committeeman D. ,1 fjM II. Peery with considerable interest. ' It Is said among the knowing one. j j'l that his coming will mark a rovlval of ' , . ! Interest In party matters. Just now ' M there Is nothing doing. The drubbing ! I ho organization received last fall, . 1 and the defections slnco, have about H convinced many of tho erstwhile ac- .fl uvo members that there Is little I 'II chance for tho success of a ticket at ( of ; I llio fall election, although It is but I I lir to say there aro a few who affect 1 1 to believe that with tho issues pre-" pre-" fm ' ' anted by tho bond Issue, the fran- y 1 clilse asked for by tho Consolidated ( , VM ! Ight & Hallway company, the Demo- , '. I f, crats would have a chance to do j ' Eomothing. So far as Truth Is able , , J to ascertain there aro but few Demo- ,, ; J crats who want to fuso with tho Ro- ( i I publicans on a Citizens' ticket, no ' f I natter what tho American party may ' If do. They prefer to go down to do- fffl Icat as an organization to achieving ' til luccess by uniting with any of their l jfl lormor opponents. Tho Utah Demo- . 'I cratlc club has had tho question un- ' 1 der consideration and some of its l ' i 1 members aro gravely discussing what j 1 chould bo done. Tho Young Men's ' , f '1 Democratic club, formerly active, is f. .'; ,' I now dead, except on rent' day when ,j ' r?l Agent Lewis, for tho Walker estate, t , '' 1 Hustles up tho treasurer for a check. ' , ,1 A fow of tho faithful, however, declare t 'I thero will bo something doing as soon ' , i as Peery gets back, because ho is ox- ' "M pected to lnfuso some llfo into the outfit. Mr. Peery has been In Call- fornia and Goldilold for some time, i but his Irlends expect him home al- 1 i most any day now and upon his ar- 1 ' , 1 rival a consultation will bo held. Sev- ," ' oral members of tho club aro anxious . 1 j to ascertain tho position taken by '' Mr. Samuel Nowhouse, tho president - of tho club, and Its angel; tho man , j who staked It and placed It on Its i ' ': . ! feet. It Is suggested that Mr. New- .a, . . ; house, while still a Democrat, may , ' ... , not bo as active as ho was last fall, ' . and In that ovont tho club will have ,', ,t to hustle for Itself, because those who ; ;j were at tho front with their money ... during tho last campaign are not half ;! as cnger as they wore when pie was , .? in sight. Tho rooms of tho club aro ;;9 deserted nowadays, save and execpt !i when tho night watchman retires to ! 1 tho expensive Davenport sofa for a ,'i well earned rest. No ono goes there f 1 any moro. Tho ice box is dry and tho '! dally paper no longer Is thrown over , j 1 tho doorway. Tho assistant secretary ; ) has been cut off at tho pocket and no -1 ono Is loft to take care of things. All : 1 In all, it doesn't look like there Is go- , '5 lng to bo much doing. 't Mayor Morris Is understood to bo a i ' I candidate to succeed hlmsolf, in the f ovont a candidate Is named. Tho , ' . ' mayor wants a "vindication" nt the ft. .11 hands of tho citizens. Whether ho will get it remains to be seen, but the prediction is freely made that any old person can beat him this fall, either in convention o,r out of it. Recorder Crltchlow wants a re-election, but Recorder Re-corder Crltphlow will come out a long distance behind. Ho hasn't been at his ofllco long enough since election to get acquainted with tho routine and about tho only thing now Inaugurated by him Is tho salo of coal to city departments. de-partments. It Is stated that John wanted to win the affections of tho other city officials and employees and realizing that "absence makes the heart grow fonder," took this moans of making himself solid with everyone every-one on tlio north end of the Joint building. Fisher Harris is saying nothing, but is diligently sawing wood. Whether he will bo a candidate or not remains to bo determined. Judge Doy, Fisher Harris and Auditor Felt will nwalt tho pleasure of their party. |
