Thomas Kearns, who hy the grace of his chock liook is senator from Utah, a number of his faithful followers were called together for consultation. Since Ills senatorial highness was so rudely jostled by Iostinasler Thomas ho has condescended to ask wor am I at? When Tommy found that Arthur L. Thomas was as big and Influential as he was, if not bigger, he nearly lost his breath and meandered around the 'capitol gasping like a man who had swallowed an overdose of tobasco sauce, all the while appealing to the Almighty In an excited manner. The s blow was so sudden It dislocated several feet of his brain, and it will roqulro an Increased Silver King dividend to make Tom happy again. As soon ns Tommy recovered Supo .Tones was hurriedly ordered to sound the tocsin and call the faithful to merlin and hold an autopsy to discover the cause of the sudden death of Tom find Perrys scheme against Postmaster Thomas. solar-plexu- Mr. Lippman, Mr. 1Toy wood and Mr. Stuart were not. there, they being Federal ofllco holders and not allowed lo Interfere In politics, but the United States attorney, the United States marshal, the county clerk and the revenue Inspector for Utah, accompanied hy Perry Heath, Tom Pitts, A. J. Davis and a few other worshippers of Torn wero present. Mr. Perry Heath, ns the least assuming man present, was called to the chair. Mr. ITenlh briefly stated that an unheard of thing had happened. Mr. Kearns, Utahs favorite son, In the discharge of his senatorial duties, had decided to have n change In the ofllce of postmaster of Salt Lake City. Some charges had been fixed up as It was necessary to have the appearance of a case, when to the surprise of the nation tho postmaster resented and and denied theso charges, and defeated Mr. Kearns honest efforts to have his own way. This wicked opposition was dangerous and threatened to undermine the very foundation upon which Mr.' Kearns wns building. Prompt action wns necessary. Tho spokesman could not find words to express his Indignation, at the effrontery of Postmaster Thomas In opposing a United States senator. The United States marshal said Mr. Thomas that tho charges wero false In an assumption of Independence in opposition to Mr. Kearns which no republican In Utah should exercise. Utahs great and good man must be supported. Resolved, That although In this fight with Postmaster Thomas Tommy and Perry are slightly disfigured; they are still In the ring. The resolutions wero adopted, ahd after singing "Praise Tom From Whom Our Dollars Flow the pa- triots adjourned. o The am. Mr. Pitts. My Cod T cant speak. I cant get over it. Whereupon tho following resolutions were unanimousT ly adopted: Itesolvod, That, this meeting of repIn behalf of tho people of Utah commend Hon. Thomas Kearns for charging Arthur L. Thomas, postmaster, with being short In Ills accounts the sum of $1,100, the amount of salary paid James D. Adams while on his death bed and in the employ of tho government. Resolved, That the secret preferring of such charges, and the effort resentative citizens to have them approved without Mr. Thomas knowledge, is an evidence to the people or Utah of the courage, manly conduct and honorable motives actuating Mr. Kearns. Resolved, that we. and an Indignant public, severely condemn the action of Postmaster Thomas in leaving his post office, and neglecting his duties, to proceed to Washington to answer the charges made. A proper regard for his duties required that he should have remained at home and permitted himself to.be removed. Resolved.

But I will do what this association has never done, although it has had many opportunities, and that is if it or its paper will let me know' where I made a false statement or misplaced a truth, I will cheerfully take it hack in public print. This association and its paper are like the anarchist, willing to dynamite a whole state to reach a few of its people.
