Show of offices the republican ticket is being criticized most because of the number of candidates residing in salt lake the capital we confess is always a little more grasping than would seem bast for the interests of the whole territory in the case of a state t ceet however there are numerous nume roua o cices that are by law fixed at the capital the state constitution provide that the governor secretary of state auditor state treasurer attorney general and superintendent of public instruction shall reside nt the seat of government where they chill keep the public records books and papers the law then require that the greater part of a state ticket if elected shall be residents of salt lake the men available for state officers in the country are not numerous and thoe most qualified can likely not afford to leave their business interests and remove to the capital especially where salaries are so low as in utah the highest salaries for state officers are only two thousand dollars each per annum in the majority of offices only hundred dollars per annum are paid not many men can afford to leave their bomea and reside at salt lake where expenses are high at such low salaries the whole state ticket excepting congressman and the supreme judges will naturally go to salt lake and in the case of the supreme judges this year outside counties were for the men nominated all the southern counties came up determined to secure the nomination for judge bartch and northern counties wanted judge miner it seemed to make no difference to them where the men resided they were simply after the best material for supreme judges and we believe they got it tho delegates will also go baik home claiming te have secured their men utah will say it secured its candidate through the nomination of judge bartsh and northern conn tiep which put ia nomination ande miner will feel the bame way the could have been nominated from outside counties the senators will likely coma from the caanal and it would have been well for the congressmen to have been selected from the country it would have been ao bad not the of congressman got tied op with tho gubernatorial light in bueb a way that a mormon governor called for non mormon apro tentative it was tacitly that such a division would be made ES to give boch aidea with those two leading domce branes defeat therefore defeated utah fl candidate for congressman on the ground of that |
