proposition proposi-tion reputed to have come from Mark Hamiawards that his excellency should appoint George Q Cannon a true ex J 1OflCllt of Republicanism up to date to till Utahs vacant chair in the United States senate the fad remains that the necessary negotiations are going on l = from rashington to establish a new p precedent and make possible the seat r ing of Mr Cannon along with the gubernatorial r gu-bernatorIal appointees to the senate from the other states whose egisla i tures have faile to elect a senator That George Q Cannon will be the governors appoIntee when he gets k ready to issue the commission there is i little doubt Quoting the words of a Republican state official who stands 1 high in the councils of his party P There is only one man in the entire t state who stands any chance of being appointed to the vacant senatorship and his name is George Q Cannon It has already been decreed that he is to be the recipient of Governor Wells favor fa-vor and aU the George Sutherlands l the John Henry Smiths the Alma EI e dredges the John E Booths and the Arthur L Thomases might just as f well lay down and quit wishing for the coveted plum to fall into their hands r Mr Cannons declination a most Im Jrobable contingency is all that would cause the lightning to hit somewhere elseAdditional Additional confirmation of the story f how things are working in Washington Wash-ington to seat appointed senators to the vacant chairs came yesterday in the following special dispatch to the Dcseret News Washington March 20A Salt Lake dispatch announcing that Governor Wells would not appoint a United tates senator untn a precedent was tabUshed admitting an appointee 1i0m some other state was read with interest here HIt is probable that Pennsylvania will

precedents in the past the other way and furthermore fur-thermore llr Quay was one of the senators sen-ators who vote to seat men who presented themselves with gubernatorial gubernatori-al commissions a few years ago Pre edents can be and have been reversed in the semlte Mr Quays popularity with the older senators will help him if he should ask to be admitted 011 the I bnernors certificate A test case will be made with Mr Quay and of course if he should be seated the governors of Delaware Utah and California ould immediateI appoint senators The Republicans will have fortysix or fortyseen straight Republican yotcs in the new senate anyway which will give them a clear majority However How-ever Quay cannot count on obtaining Democratic votes as the question of his eligibility c is likely to be made a llarty matter School Superintendent Canvass It ought not tobe long now before a superintendent of Salt Lake Citys hools is chosen by the board of education edu-cation The subcommittee appointed a few weeks ago to examine the cre dfntlals of the fifty or sixty applicants and jf need be to olicit applications fNm suitable timber anywhere within this broad land will resume its duties tomorrow afternoon The committee consists of lessrs Henderson Moyle alll NeldCn and there can be no doubt ht their recommendations to the board will represent careful and con ientious work At this

due to the fat that it was deemed desirable to wait until the legislature had adjourned ad-journed for fear that one unwelcome pg1s1ation might be enacted on the t ubject of scnool superintendencies

appointment of Chief Pratt to succeed himself as the h ad of the police department under He rJlan of reorganization now forming The ordinance providing for the rear mization in pursuance of the lately natlfl law was agreed upon in com 11ittee of the whole council last Thurs tLy evening c and will come up for pas rage at this evenings session In con srquence it will be a week or more yet b > > fore the name of the gentleman who w ants to be chief of police for life will to sent in AnctJlc canvass of the council shows that Chief Pratt will have the support i f only the Republican and Simonpure nnnrJartian members two short of the number of votes necessary for confir mUon The entire Democratic majority major-ity in the council according to wellin fcrmfd city officials will resolutely stand against his confirmation as was he case a year ago last month New Commissioners Clerk Those who unsympatheticallr classed Joslph W Eldredge as a dead duck in the political pond when at the dawn of the
