His. visit to Utah wan a business one, hut ho bore tidlnRa of the bright prospects for Republican success In his Slntn. " thought a couplo of months ago," said Chairman Gooding, "tliat tho Stato would give tho Republican ticket a majority ma-jority of 10,000. This, you know, considering consid-ering the small vole, io a large per cent, but now I bellcvo Idaho will glvo Roosevelt Roose-velt and Fairbanks electors fully 35,000 the greatest majority, based on population, popula-tion, of any Stato In tho Union. "Democrall3 do not feel enthusiastic over Judge Parker's nomination. They see too much Cleveland in it, and Cleveland Cleve-land lost cast in Idaho long time ao. Republicans, on the other hand, are greatly great-ly pleased with the work of tho Chicago Convention. Thev reallzo that they now havo a frinnd fn tho Whlto House a friend to the West, and It Is tho purpose of Idahoan.s to show their appreciation of her great Interest In tho West by giving I'resldent Roosevelt an overwhelming Chairman Gooding was an enthusiastic Fairbanks man many months lusforc the convention, and he is naturally plcasud with the Vice-Presidential candidate. He say3 Idaho will nanm a strong Stato ticket tick-et at Moscow August 11, and that southern south-ern Idaho Republicans will go to Moscow In a special truln. Chairman Gooding left for home at midnight mid-night last night. R. W. Livingston hns returned from a visit to Sanpeto county, whero ho found the Republicans busily plnnnlng for the campaign. He says the general feeling la that Sanpete will increase the Republican vote mid that llivre Is general harmony notwithstanding the lively contests for the local nominations. Chris Madsen of Gunnison is one of the new candidates for the Legislature, and Abram Johnson is not now a candidate. Mr. Livingston snys much Interest Is felt in the effort which' Ephralmltes are making to wrest the county seat from Slant. Senator W. A. Clark of Slonlana has written to Senator Thomas ICearns In informing him that he 'expects to visit Salt Lako about the last of this month. His brother, J. Ross Clark, will accompany accom-pany tho benalor. Senator Clark expresses satisfaction with the work of tho Democratic National Nation-al convention. Delegate George Russell of Nevada i3 in the city, en route home from the St. Louis convention. He. Is stopping at the Wilson, Wil-son, and will visit with two oT his daughters daugh-ters for a couplo of days. Mr Russell was chairman of tho Neva-ad Neva-ad delegation, and he feels that the party has named an unusually strong ticket. "That was a wonderful convention." said Mr. Russell. " It is impossible to describe de-scribe the stirring and dramatic scenes of some of tho more Important sessions. Sir. Bryah made two of the most wonderful appeals lo his party. I believe, that were over heard In a convention. His argu-mentn argu-mentn attempting to Jnstlfv his courso impressed every one, it seemed, but thev did not win vou-a. The convention was determined to cut loose from the radical policies of the two last campaigns, and reorganize on more conservative lines, and Sir. Bryan's o.loqucnco did not influence influ-ence the delegates when tho voting time came." Sir. Russell says he confidently believes Judge Parker will carry Nevada. SL Louis Globe-Democrat The telegram tele-gram sent by the Democratic convention In Pnrlfnr lioiHnc 'l!l Hin lnlllinnri f hood that "the platform adopted by this convention is silent on the question of the monetary standard, because It Is not regarded re-garded bv us as a possible issue in this campaign." The truth is that in a light lasting many hour. tho committee on resolutions rejected the gold standard bv a vote of .15 to 15. They decided to omit a financial plank after a discussion of all that were offered. The platform is silent In that respect because Bryan would have offered a minority report on the convention conven-tion lloor if a gold plank had been adopted. adopt-ed. But as tho committee, after a long struggle, rejected tho gold plank by 35 to 16. how could the writers of that Iving telegram have tho impudence to claim that the platform is silent on the question of the monetary standard because not regarded as an Issue? The issue was dodged by the silence. The barefaced mendacity of the telegram to Parker is astounding. 4 Every local and Stale politician will bo busy nt Calder's park today taking advantage ad-vantage of the big crowds and building their bridges, H is not yet known whether Fred J Klesel of Ogden will ask for tho Democratic Demo-cratic nomination for Governor, but ho is moving around whore the lightning Is liable to strike,' and some of tho politicians politi-cians say he Is almost persuaded to get Into the game. More than 15,000 tickets have ben sold and distributed ,for today's Republican club outing at Calder's park. An immense im-mense crowd is expected. Friends to Col. E. A.

The feeling Is that the Republicans will win a great victory and that tho prospects pros-pects for success in Cache county are very good. Countv Chairman William H. Thaln favors tho aame day for both conventions con-ventions and says that It is Immaterial which nominations are inado first. Writing from Price. Carbon county. Chairman Arthur J.

"Is not necessary, ns people generally aro settled in their political convictions. Any Demo-crat Demo-crat who cannot be educated to vole tho Republican ticket within sixty days, after eight years of Republican prosperity, prosper-ity, on top of four years of Dcmocratfc calamity, is beyond redemption. Roosevelt Roose-velt and Fairbanks will receive a greater majority In this county than did MclCIn-ley MclCIn-ley and Roosevelt four years ago. Slany Democrats havo already declared their intontion of voting for Roosevelt. A nomination on tho Republican ticket In Sanpete county is equivalent to election. 1 favor holding ono convention for electing elect-ing delegates lo tho Stale Convention and to nominate County and Legislative tickets."

We expect this county to have a Republican majorltv of 250 and tho majority in tho State should be fully 10.000 for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. A bettor ticket could not havo been named by tho Republicans at Chicago than was named. The Democrats arc fully convinced that t thoy cannot again palm Grover Cloveland off on tho country in tho dlagulso of Judge Parker."

But Republicans fool satisfied that th-oxooUfin& Ropablioaa administra tion in both county and State loaves llulo doubt of Republican succops at tho polls. Cache county Republicans favor ono county convention for tho election of both county and legislative candidates.
