Show 8 E fika UTAH they alie had their election delayed DEMOCRATS OUTWITTED THEM and made it possible for utah to name two senators at the first t f state election washington naton nov 13 special especial to herald the blatant claim of the republicans that their party was most favorable to the early admission of utah into the union should not have been made until they ley were sure that their leaders would world be dis creat enough to keep their months closed ori on the subject at least until the first state election was over but they evidently had llad not warned Babcock the pussy individual from minnesota who has had charge of the campaign cat opal it for tile the republicans this year because he has riven given the whole snap away in an unguarded ca moment nio ment however it is only one of his in diacre discretions eions 1 liver ver since the returns came in in from the country his head bead has been turned and he has bas been talking t like a garrulous g giving away the party I 1 secrets jn in a way that has given iven some sorna of he leaders a bad attack of profanity delatin relating to utah lie has given away another thing that lias has been heretofore kept in the dark r t the I 1 terald herald correspondent saw him the other day we when hen the returns were almost in and he wits was busily engaged 0 in clai claiming mina ID everything thin in s sight ait and asked him what wereth we bereth r reth e t oset oil oh he be said that is all ri right lit we hall be able to organize that beyond any doubt we shall have an amsl assured ired majority 11 but if the democrats capture utah wont went that throw the control into the hands fiands of the populists lists asked the correspondent utah aint in it was tile the laconic reply why what do you mean utah will elect two senators for the next congress the pussy chairman looked 0 over er with an ail air of wisdom on his farce fa ce and seemed to be pitying the absolute i ignorance 0 norance of the man who would state such a thing now young man lie he said in a fatherly tone you had better go and look at the statehood bill lefore before you make such wild statements ine lits wily why the republicans have let it pass if it been agreed that the senators should not take their seats seals until 1897 that was the agreement ard and that is the only reason the statehood bill passed because otherwise we would have killed it in in the senate it would have been foolish to have done otherwise but said the correspondent the bill makes no such a provision the senators will take their seats as soon as the birst legislature le 9 get down own to business and elects thern them that is simply possible impossible in was the emphatic reply the bill could never have cased that dav way now I 1 wo won n ail any bets f this his year but 1 I am willing to bet you the lie cigars that the utah statehood bill ili especially provides that the senators and representatives shall not take their seats until 1897 the natural query that suggests itself is what part did the genial ikie sunshine trumbo who was lookin looking after the cepil republican alican end of of the the statehood bill have in this republican L who are in washington now with the exception of chairman babcock know absolutely nothing of the supposed agreement simply because they the are too ao small fry to be on the in inside sl ide but undoubtedly ikic was willing willine BO iko sacrifice anything any thing for the goodof good of his party autv and then did not keep the the th e agreement igrec ment that had been mide made the democrats bo however wever know nothing of the kind the statements of babcock were made in the herald correspondent correspond eitt in the presence of several other correspondents and the bet was not taken simply for i the reason that the correspondent did notch nota care re to win a tiling thing but banding tan ding 0 that babcock was so sure that such euch a provision had been made and was so emphatic in his assertions that the republicans would never have allowed adiv thing of tile the kind go through D that lie he pressed upon the newspaper man to take the bet when lie he hears from the republicans in utah who ale aio quite likely to do a little blittle swearing 1 on tile the side because of his break just at t this his critical time lie is likely to find that the republicans were out bitted tritt it ted ed and without getting any L mood good from their provisions they are receiving a setback that will make them feel sore for a good long time to come tile tho absolute certainty certainly of babcock leaves no doubt that there was such an agreement somewhere and this reflects no DO credit on the republicans who were engineering the deal COOK GANG AGAIN FORT SMITH ark nov 14
