Hurd, candidate for county attorney at-torney on the workingmen's ticket, is not a Mormon. Joseph B. Toronto, candidate for treasurer, is a Mormon, and was for fifteen years a professor in tho Deseret University, but lost his position some time ago on account of his connectiou with the Mormon church. Lorenzo Cracroft, candidate for coroner, cor-oner, is a painter employed by a Mormon Mor-mon linn, lie, however, claims to be a Liberal. He is the other of the two actual worklngmon on tho ticket.

His brother, Barlow Ferguson, is a prominent member of the Mormon church. Tho friends of Fergus Ferguson Fergu-son are somewhat surprised at Ids action ac-tion in accepting a nomination for tho purpose of defeating the Liberal party. Why he should now join a retrograde movement is rather singular, to say the least. Mr. Johu H. Kumel, the caudidate for recorder, although not a member ot the Mormon church, comes of a Mormon family. J. H. Clive, candidate for assessor, is a Mormon. Andrew J. Burt, caudidate for sheriff, belongs to a Mormon family.
