minus check marks and signature of a telegram sent yesterday yester-day to exSenator Brown by one of his friends I Is but an indication of how the solitical fight Is warming up There olUcal fht are other Indications but as yet details de-tails are alarmingly scarce But i one had the privilege of looking at all mes vrlvieGe sages sent from this I city to the capital abe or could read all the letters there would be some interesting tales written The cry seems to be on to Washington Washing-ton Cr there is a general stampede m that direction by all who are able togo to-go Thomas left Sunday in his usual quiet ind unostentatious manner He dldn bio any one farewell in public and made no noise about his trip From reports whlrh float around the streets it appears that the antiBrown faction are becoming worried over the bituation A private telegram received In the city on Saturday was to the effect that Brown and Lindsay Rocers would have a conference with the president yesterday yes-terday I was determined to walt no longer but to act So Thomas flew to join the array of talent which is already paying its board by the week in the city where congress meets 9 < s > 0 Thomas however wasnt the only man who left Charlie Post who wants to be receiver of the land office also folded his tent and when he next pitches It it will be somewhere in the neighborhood of I I Fourteenth

appointment I ap-pointment of registrar of the land office has left for Washington also He goes on the same kind of an errand From this time on until the appointments are made the streets of the nations center will look like a scene in Zion Charlie Vhittemore Is down there Glen Miller Is camping in the vicinity Brown and Rogers are buzzing senators and congressmen con-gressmen Thomas will be there Oh the leading men of the nation will suffer for a few days now nowd d t < Browns friends want him to be aware of every movement which Is being made by his opponents and have telegraphed him on every occasion when it was deemed best he should be informed So < up to date he has been posted as to what was being done to circumvent his plans I Is believed he can checkmate any move that is made against him He has two Ua > s and a half in which to prepare the way for Thomas and make his paths smooth and will doubtless have a warm reception for the exgovernor by the time he arrives 000 Candidates for the marshalship and at torneyshlp are beginning to act warm these days There is a look of anxiety on all their faces Jim Devlne and Guthrie Harvey Hardy and Pratt all of them are becoming agitated and are wishing it was all over Devine has been led t actually believe he will secure the j place Hardy thinks things are coming A his way aid Pratt well Pratt doesnt sav anything but his face has an ex vcetant look Hoyt Sherman pegs along In much the same old way and relies entirely en-tirely on Uncle John for his aid 4 > i > < f Dykens will have his chances belittled bItd tlls week by the arrival of the applies tim and endorsement of Wesley 1C alton al-ton who would take the land office i he could get I Up to date Rich county has been the only county which had a single candidate The balance of them were better fixed Take this county for instance and every man who voted for McKinley i a candidate Dykens figured fig-ured as he was Rich countys only man lii would stand a good show but now comes Walton and creates a discord by putting the appointing power In a dilemma di-lemma I they appoint Dykens where does Walton get on and if Walton is favored fav-ored woo will care for Dykens Other candidates for the marshalship say D lens has no business with the place that he is more of a Wyoming man than a Utonian that he does all his uu > ness at Evanston that he ships cattle cat-tle from Evanston bun Hour at Evan Mon bacon at Evanston gets his clothes at Evanston obtains bahys shoes from f an Evanston storc in short belongs to Cvaiiston entirely that he has nothing in j common with Utah people except to vote i t t Iis support of McKinley amounted to nothing as he was never heard of be I lore in connection with a campaign and is a matter of fact wouldnt have been t beard of as an aspirant for marshal had j i not been for his being a client of Lindsay Lind-say Rogers who thought to ge n Ms I good grace further by ursine nlm to enter the lists z It is stated by many members of the fire department they would be very glad to see Chief Bovine promoted to the po bition of marshal He has the sympathy and good will of the men in this particular par-ticular especially at first glance although when one pursues his Questioning It is with the result of ascertaining they want to get rid of him as chief < > 0 Toe opponents of Brown are rolng to make a strong pull with the executive tht he is not responslCIe for the work done by the party in Utah that he Is not a man whom the people of Utah like that his services do not entitle him to recognition But he has his friends too On of them said on the subject yesterday yester-day in this wise If Brown isnt the man who is That is the autdtlon asked by all his friends Dd he not stand up In the convention at Louis and declare for the part no ntter what its declaration of principles prin-ciples might be They speak of the sylendid nerve and valor of Frank J Cannon In bolting the convention When that bolt was over he and his associates came back to be received with open arms by all Utah Bands met them at the debts 11 de-bts speeches were delivered at them their pathways were strewn with flowers cvervthlnc was lovely But in Browns case it was different He was met with black looks with gibes and jeers no man grasped his hand and cal him noble But finally from all over the state the scattered apostles of the gold standard John C Graham John E Booth Wesley K Walton Dykens Joe Smith the shepherd shep-herd Guthrie Clove and even Thomas the man who now seeks to cloud the bright escutcheon of Brown showered cnconlums on the man who had the moral courage to stand for his convictions convic-tions despite opposition But the rank and file of the people turned their heads away from him they pointed the finger of scorn at him for his conduct railed at him sneered at him and made hi dally walk and conversation one of extreme unpleasantness Brown nothIng daunted paid no attention to what they said but took the stump for the party of protection promises and poverty te and shrieked from one end of this I commonwealth to the other for sheep and wool sold and giltedged times I and raliyinff the scattered cohorts managed to make t showing for the aggregation I which went into power under false pretenses pre-tenses That is history The Tribune 11 didnt have anything to do with i It i was fighting the battles of Bryan Thomas played second fiddle to Brown t from the start Mr Dooly ard It S tampbell were engaged in petty politics all the time endeavoring to harmonize I I the two factions of Republicans so they could capture the legislature and fleet a Ii senator and get what plc there was Insight In-sight The work was done by Brown I t Thats one view of the Republican quarrel s quar-rel I Is the judgment of the friends of Brown the rank all file of those who vated for McKinley Of course the Bryan I V men would be glad to see him downed Thats natural Otherwise the Democrats

strawherres and will again hear the rush of the wind through the whiskers of the farmer who chased them across ots with a threelined fork for tramping down his hay just as i was ready to cut He will acain hear the Hnvio of the bell on the old cow which they drove arm In arm from the pasture The rush of memories will surge through his mind like the water on the old overshot wheel behind the spring
