Thoroughly De- - raberatic Platform : - 4 Lake, Sept. 9. Earnest enthusiastic .Democrats' of and Lake theater the Salt in met Utah leaders of 'the name yesterday to Democratic the fight this year for principles in Utah. The conven, tion was notable for the many fine ' speeches made,' the manifest' determination of the delegates to do their part to present a united front to the enemy, the desire to select the right men for the various places on the ticket and a confidence that the people of the state would - endorse at the polls the ticket agreed upon by the conSalt - -- -- vention. The manner in which the successful candidates were received by the convention and the graceful way in which the defeated candidates bowed to the will of the majority, may be taken as proof that each contest ended with the convention and' that the Democrats of Utah will be united this fall, whatever may be the condition of their opponents. One of the big features was the tre- mendous ovation gien Judge W. O. Powers when he appeared to accept the unapimous nomination for Congress. Although notable for the spirit of harmony, the ' convention did not lack On interest. the contrary, a number of incidents, amusing and sometimes exeiting, took place. Friends of the candidates worked vigorously for the success of their favorites, before and during the convention, but after the convention it was all forgotten. The spirit of the convention was admirably expressed by Mr. Roylance. Well, how. do you feel about it? he was asked. I am. for Moyle, Powers, Ilarmon and every other man on that ticket, he said, and if it were left to me, every one of them would b elected unanimously. Thats how I feel about it, and Im looking for Moyle now tojhave him tell me how I can do him the most good in the campaign. The convention selected the following for c. Utahs Democratic Nominees: : Member of ' Congress 0. W. towers, of Salt Lake. Governor James IL Moyle, of fralt Lake. . - . Secretary of t State Levi N. Harmon, of Price. & Attorney General-Gr- ant Bagley, of Provo. Auditor- -J. W. Geiger, of Park AGity. Treasurer 5( Ogden. W. B. . . Wilson, of , . of Salt Lake. The following was unanimously adopted as the Democratic State Platform: The Democracy of Utah, in convention assembled, - reiterates d its belief in the principles of the organization that have always stood for the rights of all the people, as against the demands of the favored, classes since the founding of the republic, and reaffirms its faith in the time-honore- great underlying principle laid down by Jefferson and incorpor a ted into the Declaration of Independence in the following lang- uage: truths to be self men all are created evident; that endowed by equal ; that they are their Creator with certain inalienable rights and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted amor." men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. and we pledge ourselves to a eontinuation of the policy which has ever characterized this party; a strict adherence We declare to that principle. once again in favor of the axiom, first laid down by the founder of the Democratic party: Equal rights to all and special privileges to none. We endorse the platform adopted and reaffirm the principles declared by the national Democratic convention at St. Louis, and cordially and enthusiastically approve the nomination of Alton B. Parker and Henry G. Davis for president and vice president of the United States. , . We direct the attention of our fellow citizens of all parties to the conditions confronting the electors of this state because of the selfish and disgraceful contentions which have divided the Republican party in two opposing factions, each led by a Republican United States senator. Such conditions are the net results of the success of the Republican party in recent years, now plainly manifest, and are but the natural consequences of an attempt to array one v cla&s of our citizens against another class in a feud, which, if persisted in, will resit' t in' permanent injury to the best interests of the commonwealth. The Democratic party of the state enters its protest against these conditions and the causes therefor and calls upon the people of the state to rebuke at the polls the assumption and arrogance of the party which is alone responsible We hold these time-honor- County. i Supreme Judge . ed .

Two thousand men were killed and 4000 wounded in the recent battle be-- , tween the Uruguayan Government forces and the revolutionists. Gen. Vasquez, Minister of War, who led'the Government troops, is asserted to have been defeated and driven back, abandoning arms and ; munitions. In a previous battle the revolu- tionists were given back, and Gen. Vasquez, while pressing his vic-- : tory, was suddenly met by stub- born resistance. The rebels reassembled their' scattered forces and engaged the Government troops.

Mr. Campbell has been away for a short time and the error went undetected by him for a while,' but he insisted upon having it rectified at once, As a matter of fact the political scribe of The Jonrnal was the one to blame. He had got it fixed in his noddle that Mr. Campbell had run for treasurer before, that he would snrely go after it again, , and hence took the liberty of changing clerk, to treasurer, in the announcement made by that gentlemen.
