Letter to John Iiu Tny lor Tlie Answer That John C Gruhniii Ueceived from the Silver Men at Thistle All the Political New of the City The Republican who is seeking a nomination nom-ination for an office at the hands of the county organization this fall is in a quandary There are several of him too and he does not know just where he is at Because there may be two conventions conven-tions in this county after all That has been said and done The McKinley McKin-ley men may hold one all to themselves and the Independents may also do a little work of that kind Matters are in a state of chaos Nothing definite seems to have been agreed upon although the old time workers in the party who I I are out for the gold standard candidate candi-date are making herculean efforts to have the matter adjudicated satisfactorily satisfac-torily so that the spoils of the county offices can be distributed without a clash and the workers aforesaid and hereinbefore mentioned provided for The McKinley men seem to have shown their hands a little too prematurely prema-turely in this that the Argus the organ or-gan of the faction in its issue of last Saturday came out boldly and invited all Republicans who were not in favor of the man who lives in the city named after a Chinese town to go to the Democratic Demo-cratic party as the sate was wide open to receive them This brief article arti-cle was taken as a challenge by several of those who are interested in the success suc-cess of silver and there is but little doubt that many of them will follow the example set by Hon W L Dykes and join the Democratic party No one save a person who has been around the circle and talked with the old time Republicans knows the disaffection dis-affection which prevails Nearly every Scandinavian in the city is for Bryan and Sewall and it would take but little urging to bring them all into the Democratic Dem-ocratic fold for the entire ticket from electors to constable Not only the Scandinavians but the Germans are coming over in great numbers num-bers and for once in his lifetime Bruce Johnson cannot say that he can deliver the colored vote Editor Taylor with his little Broad Ax has been doing a lot of missionary work and the class he represents is becoming aroused to the situation Up to date the Republicans of this city have done nothing for this class of voters although they have had ample opportunity of showing their appreciation of the services which have been rendered in the past Hence the quandary alluded to Even should all factions of the party unite as to local matters i is not at all likely the ticket nominated would win The many dteaffections endanger its success suc-cess more than the most sanguine are willing to concede The e are several fine offices to be filled this seera sheriffs is perhaps per-haps the most important Harvey Hardy the present incumbent wants to sacceed himself but will be bitterly antagonized by men in his own party convention not because he has not made an efficient officer but by reason of the fact that after he was chosen there were several of the ward workers whom he forgot to remember Some of his appointments did not suit either and those whom he neglected like Achilles are sulking in their tents and will come into the open only when they have il a chance to knife the candidate alluded Adam Paul is still hammering away Adam is after the nomination and after it hard He buttonholes more people every day than any other two men in the city Adam has a mysterious man ner when he captures a victim He get him off all alone and pours into his ear a tale which must be harrowing in the ertreme if the countenance of the person per-son approached is any guide Adam may get the nomination although those who oppose him say Nit One thing is certain he would be a very good man to run against Joe Y Smith is making a careful can vais of all his friends and several other men He has a strong following and i is composed of the boys who live I down in the wards where they pack the primaries and elect the delegates He is liable to go into the convention and raise merry hades with some onas chances Billy Lynch was a candidate some time ago but he isnt any more He said so a day or two ago Asked if he was going to run for sheriff he replied I that he was not a candidate repled any political office But you would take the place if it was tendered you Office does not come that way was the reply I repeat I am not a can didate for any political office Then William walked away and talk ed horse to Jake Moritz Unless something turns up in the way of a candidate who is1 I as yet unknown John D Spencer has a cinch on the nomination for the office of county treasurer which will in the future have I with it the duties of collector John is entitled to the nomination by reason < of precedent and will doubtless get it although there is said to be a dark horse or two in the stable who may be brought out Penn Lynn doesnt want the place after his term expires and will not have I Penn has a good thing in the bank Al Reese is the man who is expecting I to walk away with the nomination for the dual office of clerk of the county I court and district court In line with the usages of the past Reese ought I to get the nomination easy but there is going to be a stumbling block in his way in the perton of a man from Sandy The outside precinct say they want something this time Bingham wants the sheriff but no one there seems to crave the pleasure of running on the Republican ticket so it is likely that our own Colonel Squires be may prevailed upan to go back there to live and ruq for clerk Squires iint saying a word I but then he is sly devlish sly you know and he will bob up when he is leavv expected as he always does Charlie Stanton hasnt the least idea of going in for another race He Is like Tom Reed knows when he has enough Dick Conely by ream of his long experience ex-perience in the office is fitted so his many friends think for the place which will be made vacant by the retirement of William Lynch But Dick hasnt said a word as yet Harold JMtt so rumor mor says would be delighted to do the work for the salary attached but Harold Har-old isnt successful in politics poltc somehow some-how He fails to conneotgets left sloughed off as i were falls down misses his train and makes a general I

over in Bingham Chris might sell fruit trees and Geddes could draw dividends div-idends from Barton Co but that isnt the point All that would come anyway any-way The coin must be obtained from the people Now that the bonds lave I been readvertised and there is a good chance of sellng them it would be unfair j un-fair to have some other men handle the skads That is the argument used But Roberts

vote and that is all The intelligerot voter will go inside where free from 5nOrusion he will fix his ballot t suit himself I is a good thing that this is so Hitherto the ward worker has been an infernal nuisance a bore a wart on the body politic A man couldnt g t the polls and g a ticket but what he wanted to see how it was fixed and when the voter had got everything to his liking the ward worker would look over his shoulder and tell him to throw th ballot away and take the one he had In hand Ten the intelligent voter was compelled t I say jam or something which rhymes I with it This yea i will b different I There is only one way in which the Australian system can be beaten It can be beaten but it requires a little shrewd manipulation on the part of i th workers One must first

finance and is considered the most reliable of the money publications It is issued daily and reaches the office of every broker and banker in the city of New York The News is for silver In its last issue it says As Bryan progresses westward the crowds that gather to hear him are greater than any heretofore known in the regions where he has spoken and a they are composed largely of Republicans Republi-cans who have heretofore voted the straight Republican ticket but now announce an-nounce their intention to vote for a change The enthusiasm brought out by his speeches is unprecedented This is easily explained He is speaking on the one live issue on the one thing that every producer in the land has felt the bitter effect ofthe destructive power of the gold policy He is speaking speak-ing not only for the producers of our country but of all gold standard countries and the fact that he la speaking to such great crowds who receive re-ceive him with such enthusiasm Is haying hay-ing its effect abroad The bogus international in-ternational bimetallic league of England Eng-land formed not to advance but to retard re-tard bimetallism Is being shoved aside by the real blmetallists who
