Show JUDGE M'BRIDE HERE He Speaks Briefly Concerning: tbe Local Campaign. THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS. They Are Simply Working in the la. tcretsts) of UawIIuis and Are Wasting Wast-ing Their (shot The Tariff th Great Issue in the East Harrison's Chances Better Than They Were Four Years As A Quiet Campaign. Cam-paign. Judge John R. McBride, one of the old-time old-time residents of Salt Lake, is in town visiting visit-ing relatives. For many years the judge was one of the leading lawyers of this territory, terri-tory, and during all that time he was one of the most active men in the Liberal party, He was a Liberal when victory seemed too far off to be thought of, and he remained with that party until that party bad-met bad-met its Waterloo, and the new" era of peace - dawned in Utah. Judge McBride believed in fighting a substance, and when there was nothing left but a shadow he saw the wisdom of a division upon national party lines, in order that the people of Utah might be educated upon tbe burning issues of the day, and prepared for the greater responsibilities which they must some day bear. Although no longer a resident resi-dent of this territory, Judge McBride takes a deep interest in it welfare, and naturally he hopes to see the grand old Republican party triumph here. To a Times reporter ho stated this morning that be had been traveling travel-ing so much of lata that he had not been able to keep posted on general affairs. "Both of the national parties have lost all interett in the Liberal party, and the Liberal Republicans who vote for Allen ia the coming com-ing election will simply throw their shot away and assist the Democrats to elect Raw. lias. They must be blinded by prejudice not to see that." "How did you find politics in the EastT" "Well, the tariff is the great issue of tha campaign, and the people seem to have made up their minds upon it. The campaign is an exceedingly quiet one, but Harrison appears to have the best of it. The impression im-pression it that New York will ba the battleground, battle-ground, and Harrison's chances of carrying the atate are better than they were four years ago. I feel confident that ha will bo re-elected." Judge McBride will remain here several days before going west. He ia one of the attorneys for the Northern Pacific railway, and his headquarters are at Spokane. He ia enjoying: excellent health, and Is glad to be back on his old stamping-ground enca saore. - ! |
