The first was one demanding that the Democracy of the subscribing stockholders to be, be certified by a leading member of the party. The population of the city and county was asked for and all the little matters of detail. The second related to the amount of cash that should be put up. Hy the way, Hill was very anxious that the Democrats should put up some cash. He was anxious to have a morning Democratic newspaper started in Ogden. He assured his friends that the Standard would thrive on opposition. The party who had the matter in charge did not care to do business on the plan pursued by Hill, but Glasman assured him it was all right; to go right ahead; that the Democrats up there were a lot of suckers who were easy; just like getting money from home, and all that sort of thing. ft ft JVora GleafonJ : Teacher of Well, having arranged this little Music. scheme to his satisfaction, Glasmann went down east.

Ue asserts that Truth's writer does not know a newspaper man in Ogden. Well lie doesn't know many, thats a fact. The town paper men isnt so blessed full of news- that one stumbles over them in the dark. And no one would ever suspect or accuse this fellow of being a newspaper man. , He isnt going to get any free notoriety by being advertised as such, either. Because if he had to depend on his ability as a newspaper man for TVhat he eats, it would be short commons with him most of the time. But as to knowing who he is, why bless the innocent, little kindergarten student, there are plenty of people in Ogden who know all about him and can predict to a certainty just what he is going to say every week and it does not strain their minds either.

R. A. Ramsey, who joined forces with him some time ago, has skipped and left the major to hustle for money with which to meet expenses, Ramsey having, it is alleged, collected all he could get his hands on. Major Littlefield will keep right on however, and, although the loss will be felt, will not go out of business by any means, Ramsey's going was nuts for Glasmann, whose personal organ played the matter up in great shape. The Standard insists that Ramsey was a blackmailer, because, perhaps, the State Journal 2:30 p. has been making it a little warm for Hill. D.

Hut it may be said that Glasmann, over the name of another man, related a talk be had had with Glasmann concerning the newspaper business in Ogden; that Glasmann wrote that Glasmann said if the jovial Democrats of Ogden would lease Glasmann's plant, he Glasmann, would turn over the franchise to them. That Glasman said he did not want this franchise; that he did not care about runuing a newspaper in Ogden. That all he was after was to teach the owners of the Ogden Standard a trick or two. ft ft By the way Glasmann has an alias when he is away from home. It is Maud. Pretty name too.
