Show thing I am ashamed of. Tou may telegraph tele-graph every word I have said to the Salt Lake era.'.." "Who is Tatlock? What's his baptismal name?'' "I don't know," said Brown, smiling grimly. "I guess he never had a front name, lie is a damned fool from Iowa and nobody knows anything about him and nobody cares anything about him out there." "Where does Governor Thomas stand in this factional fight?" Again that grin illuminated Brown's features. The question surprised him, but he evidently recorded it as funny, for he chuckled several" times to himself before answering, when he said: '"Governor Thomas is a liberal; he is not with us." ''Will Governor Thomas resign now that the distinctively republican party is on top?" "I don't know what he will do. I don't see how the president can keep either him or Varian in office when they are not in touch with the representatives of the president's own party. When Harrison came into the White house, he removed Governor West because he was a democrat and because, as he asserted, he wanted a man in the office who represented the principles prin-ciples of the republican party. That was all right; that was good polities; nobody objects ob-jects to that and well now, what's he going to do with Thomas. Thomas is a liberal, he is not a republican. If the president wants to be logical he'll have to remove him as he did West and for the same reason, namely, that he isn't a republican. What I have said applies, of course, w ith equal force to various vari-ous cases." "Shall you bring this matter to the president's presi-dent's attention?'' "I don't know yet what will be done. Perhaps Per-haps Thomas may have come over to our party. He was a liberal when I left home, but he may have shifted to our side then." And attain Brown chuckled knowingly to himself. The Hrrahl 6ays editorially: "It would seem that the national committee has taken a hand in the local quarrel between republicans republi-cans and liberals and adopted a resolution recommending that the factions settle their ditlerences and 'unite to rescue the territory from the danger and dishonor of future democratic control.' The committee com-mittee recognized the straight-out republican republi-can committee elected in this city last September, Sep-tember, thus repudiating the faction which is liberal all the time except on theoccasions ovulational conventions, when it is republican republi-can for a day or two. This w il cause some rejoicing on the part of straight-outs, but we. assume, it will not trouble the other branch of the party to any great extent. The family quarrel will continue just the same, and when it comes to dividing the spuils the straight-outs won't be 'in it.'

A Democratic View. Seated in his own office much refreshed by a recent pilgrimage was United States Commissioner Norrell, one of the original signers of the democratic platform in Utah. The commissioner had discussed the despatches de-spatches iu both of the morning papers and was arriving at his own verdict when the interviewer in-terviewer entered. "Of course I have been steadily and uncompromisingly un-compromisingly for division on party lines," said Commissioner Norrell, "and fur that reason the recognition of -the division representative repre-sentative on the republican side of the question ques-tion is gratifying to me.

A DEMOCRATICVIEWOF IT Notice to Get on His Own Side of the House How the Liberals Accept It Some Very Hot Stuff. Washington, D. C, Nov. '25. The republican repub-lican national committee yesterday afternoon after-noon settled the Utah light by the adoption I of a resolution recognizing the. committee elected by the convention of delegates at Salt Lake September 2d, as the republican territorial central committee of Utah, recommending re-commending that all republicans of Utah bury their local differences and unite to rescue res-cue the territory from the danger and dishonor dis-honor of future democratic control. Then followed a succinct statement from each member of the condition of the party in the various states. It was generally hopeful hope-ful and received with enthusiasm. Ex-Governor Pinchbaek of LoU:siaua varied the sameness of the reports by "indulging in a tierce attack upon the white republicans of the south, whom he held responsible for the lack of virility of the party in that section, and charged tliem with the supressiou of the negro vote for fear of race issues, lie held that their pussillanimous policy had resulted in untold losses to the party and maintained that a few vigorous contests and manifestations manifesta-tions of rightful power by the southern negroes would have a wholesome political effect and redeem the southern states from democracy. An important step taken by the committee was the reference to the executive commit tee, with full power to act on all matters connected with the preparations for the next convention The executive committee decided de-cided to assume active direction of the mat ter itself and make all the arrangements. Channing F. Meek of Colorado was elected sergeant-at-arms of the next national convention. con-vention. The committee then adjourned ,i'iie die. The Tribune this morning has the following follow-ing special from Washington in regard to th j Utah fight in the committee,: "The newborn new-born party of Uah has at last secm-ed recognition, recog-nition, by the" national : committee.

Lpon what rewinds could it have been relused themf ' Governor Thomas. The governor declined to say anything. any-thing. He did- not like to be quoted as saying anything without giving the matter careful consideration, and so' phrasing his observations that there could be no misunderstanding his views. He did. however, consent to say this: "From the dispatches it seems that the national republican repub-lican committee has recognized the republican republi-can party just organized iu Utah, but I am not yet prepared to say what effect it will have on the local situation." "W. S. McCornick Looked upon the action of the republican national committee in the seating of McBride as a recognition of the rib!ctiii.i of Utah, and he thought the different factions of the party were hot considered. But when Mr. McCornick gave this opinion he probably had not read the resolutions passed by the national republican committee. A. Ilanauer, jr. Thought there could be no doubt of the exact import of the dispatches and he looked upon it as a complete victory for the republican repub-lican party of Utah as organized last summer. sum-mer. He said he also understood that Frank B. Kimball was going to run for mayor on the. republican ticket because of the action of the national republican committee. Frank D. Kimball. "It is the beginning of the end. That is to say, the national republican repub-lican party do not consider those who are republicans re-publicans once in four years as being ineni-, ineni-, bers of that party, or as having any right to help mould its sentiments or dictate iis politics poli-tics in local affairs. Of course the local tight may be continued for some time, but the members of the republican party organized organ-ized in Utah last summer are iu control of the situation. They arc the republicans of Utah." lloyt Sherman Did not think that the at tion taken by the national committee in regard to the Utah member of the committee indicated any preference toward either faction iu Utaii. Judge McBride was made a member of that committee by the last national republican convention, and nothing short of death or his own resignation or the action of the next national convention could depose him. He did think, however, that the resolutions passed by the committee in regard to Utah matters was a square recognition of the straight out republican party as organized in Utah last summer, which declared in favor fa-vor of division on party lines. Tames .lenleniiin Paid he thought that hereafter no republican republi-can would tie recognized in national councils but those who hail atliliated themselves with the organization formed here last summer. . m M . Ag Viewed at Home. The telerr.m3 sent out by the associated press and special correspondents upon the attitude of the national republican convention conven-tion with reference to polities in Utah has awakened intense interest throughout the city. Its significance was debated indoors and out, in resorts and on curbones. In its presence all other matters of local interest inter-est have been temporarily eclipsed set aside. Those who have expounded division on party lines, no matter whether they were republicans re-publicans or democrats, have given themselves them-selves up to the wildest demonstrations of approval. They regard it as a triumph before, be-fore, national counsels that looks to the early mastery of one or the other great parties. On the other hand the auti-divisiouists view it in two different and two distinct ways. The ultra-liberal who refuses to surrender sur-render his allegiance to his party under any condition of logic denounces Judge McBride as a renegade, a traitor by whom they have been betrayed in a household to which he. was admitted as their messenger and their representative. The adherants of Judge McBride denounce this as an unprovoked slander and submit, while hoisting the report of the recent meeting meet-ing of the committee that he was driven from its counsels by a resolution which reads as follows: "Owing to the long continued absence of John R. McBride form the terntorj (two years) and 110 interest during that time having been shown by him in his duties, or the party in Utah territory, his tnrmbtrthip in the republican territorial committee wm declared vacant." This, contend the friends of Judge McBride, Mc-Bride, is proof of his exile and his expulsion from the committee which the Tribune declares de-clares dispatched him as its representative. And to emphasize their argument the friends of the judge are introducing the following fol-lowing editorial notice which appeared in the columns of the same journal on the morning after Judge McBride had been ousted. "The committee rightly felt that by his laches Judge McBride had forfeited his place on the committee. Mr. Varian was appointed a member vie Judge McBride. There were eight of the thirteen members mem-bers present, and the action of those present was altogether unanimous.'' This, say the friends of Judge McBride, acijuits him on any indictment charging treachery or a betrayal of trust and left him as an independent advocate of the party's territorial welfare before the national committee. com-mittee. Again, the ultra-liberals express their intention in-tention of overruling the decision of the National Na-tional committee, and are more pronounced than ever in their devotion to the standard uuder which they have fought. On the other hand, the conservative-liberal, recognizing the authority of tho national na-tional conniiUee as representing the embodiment embodi-ment of party wisdom, is in a dilemma, is wy.-titied. The democrat who has maintained main-tained his allegiance to the liberal lib-eral platform reflects, almost audi-j audi-j bly, tiuit it looks as if it was the ! servinar of a notice on hitii to get back, on j hi-, own side of the house; the republican : who lias adhered to the liberal platform saya j it looks to him ns a notice from his chiefs to let go of all extraneous alliance and come in out of the wet. These are some of the views that fell into the chronicler's kodak as he ambled through lobbies and lodges during the. day. The question everywhere -was a lively one. 3Iarttltai l'arson'd Vlow. If the United States marshal lias permitted the recent attacks upon him and certain of tion that was presented by the member from Idaho, to recognize the new-born party. The resolution was supported by Senator Shoup in a fierce talk. A few others chimed in, and the vote was taken and the resolution passed. Not a dozen members voted on the question, and not half that number knew what they were voting for. We were simply shut out by the action of McBride, who felt aggrieved at the effort of the committee to depose him. He threatened threat-ened to make us answer for the action, and thinks he has succeeded well.'' Regarding the same matter the Tribune says editorially: "A late dispatch last night brought the news that Judge McBride, on his own responsibility, has betrayed the great mass of republicans in Utah; has, to suit his own purposses, betrayed the meu who trusted him here, belied all the pretensions preten-sions which he has held out for a score of years, and, to satisfy his own soured and distempered dis-tempered soul, exemplified what he has more than once before shown a disposition to do namely, to either rule his party here or do his best to destroy it. He carries with him in the effort the comfort which men enjoy en-joy when they reach that point where even their own self-respect ceases to be a matter of solicitude to them." The Herald' Washington special says: "There was a finish fight before the republican republi-can nation committee today. The contestants contest-ants were the representatives of the republican republi-can party of Utah on one hand, and the representatives rep-resentatives of the liberal element on the other. Messrs. McBride, Bennett, Bartch, Brown and Cannon represented the republicans. republi-cans. The liberals were represented iu the person of Mr. Tatlock, and very unhappy he appeared as he flocked in one corner of the committee room all by himself. Today's contest is the final and logical outcome of the difference between U.e two elements which began months aa:o in the territory and which were brought before the national committee as the court of final appeal. The republicans tonight are jubilant over the result. re-sult. Frank Cannon gave a witty interpretation interpre-tation to their sentiments when he said: Why, we've not only captured the scat, but the man in it. "McBride arrived here from Idaho Sunday night. He was lull of tight. He knew tfiat Tatlock wanted his seat and he determined to beat him or die in the attempt. He found Cannon, Krown, Bartch and Bennett alrcady on the ground. All the latter agreed to support sup-port McBride as the representative of the re- j publicans of tire territory. They explained to McBride the ground of Tatlock's contet which was, first, that McBride was a nonresident non-resident of the territory, and second, that his proxy, Arthur Brown, was not satisfactory satisfac-tory to the liberals of Utah. Tat'ock tiled a written notice of his contest with tiie committee com-mittee at the morning meeting of the committee com-mittee yesterday which was devoted to the consideration of routine business. When the Utah case was considered, it was decided iu MeBnde's favor and Tatlock retired from the room with the best grace possible. It was a bitter disappointment to him but he trird to make the best of it." I saw Arthur Brown tonight at the Arlington Arling-ton and asked him what the political effect 'z of the committee's action would be in Utah. He repl:cd: "The effect will be good; it can't be otherwise. Our people represent three-fourths of the republb ans of the territory. terri-tory. The liberals are not republicans; they ore democrats, mugwumps, or anything eise you choose to cull them, but tiiey are not i"epublicans.
