In olh.: words, the liivuiniisiis atv not "in it," except it be "lims.iup;" however much my esteemed fricm. on the Ogden ts.andard Used to prutu-t, mat he r h:s friends had no likelihood of becoming ingredients of any cou-xomu.e. cou-xomu.e. And this reminds me of the little unpleasantness between the 'Siaudard editor and the Liberal Representative Repre-sentative elect from Welter county, whose success at the polls is uudoubt edly due to the fact that many other-wise other-wise solid Republicans woulu not stand idly, or inactively by, and see one id their former allies and friends (politically (politi-cally and socially,) treated to a dose-ol caustic soda from a pharmacy, whose druggist might have taken the old adage ot the result ills of vitrine habitations habi-tations into consideration. liut, that is not what I wanted to sav, is it? Hardlv. My friend, ,J. K. Pus hard. Esq , (whose level head is not entirely engrool in busint-ss, but who has a heait for fellow-sulleiings, il it be the sores of the Republican -enter) asked me: "Whats the news irom Wasatch?" 'Wasatch?" unswered I. "I saw Hatch." "Did he get there?" "Thev sav he did, anyhow. "How?" . , "With both feet, or rather 'with all fours.' " "How do you make that out? "Easv enough. First the Wasatch countv '"citizens' put him up for the otliceof representative, which he had held for about twenty yeats, although it was remarked by some wiseacres that a man should not lie allowed to hold an office too long, however well he mmht have filled it. Then came the news that the llepuolicans from Emery county had put him up." 'How about the Wasatch 'citizens? Weren't they Republicans too?'" "No sir, they said ibey were not: m fact, in the convention that nominated Piesident Patch, it was distinctly and especially stated that national politics cut no figure in the selection." 'So we have two nominations for Mr. Hatch the Wasatch 'citizens' ami Emery Republicans?" -Yes sir." "And the "cit'zens were not Republicans, Repub-licans, were the ?" "Xo, sir, for Mr. Joseph llateh, a "citizen's" ticket defease, himse.f, told me that thev were ail "cii izens". and In-even In-even went as far as b teb m, although in in re polite than J. IV W. langu-.g-, that if I used any more Mms eadiog' language in reference to his political actions, he'd move tor my removal Irom any public gatheiing where he had aintlnni: to do." "O ve. but that doesn't tell about the ot'hertwoof Mr. Hatch's '11 fours." -That's so. Well, 1111 tell you, n you won't give it away to Tue Dispatch." Dis-patch." . . : Mr. Boshard made no promises very prudentlv thinking that L might g ve it awav myself, anyway. So he leit me to lell'the'tale. Here it is: "At the Democratic county convention of July 2 ith. Wiien t ie delegates (Hi in number) ma le up th ticket, the liep-resentativeship liep-resentativeship was left unattended to, because Mr. Pus (chairman or the countv committee and himself spoken of as a probable thouah not possd.de candidate) had none to Salt Lake city to attend the territorial convention of Democracy, and it was deemed wisdom to wait until Ins return and report as to what action the Emery and Grand county people had deemed best to take. Besides it was not exactly known what would be Mr. Hatch's politics. As far as anvons dared to venture an intimation, intima-tion, it was learned that he had SJid he was not a Repuolican. At the adjourned ad-journed delegate eon vent ion on the 5th Mr Hatch was nominated by seven ol ten 'delegates (It. Bridge, esq., acting a chairman) after Mr. Wahlquist, ot CharleMon and another genlleinin had put in a timid protest, inasmuch as they understood under-stood Mr. Olson had been nominated as Democratic candidate and had been announced as such. So Mr. Hatch got in his No. 3." . "And where does No. 4 come in? 'Now vou got me. But I'll tell you. You see" the Midway precinct Deino-I Deino-I critic club had unanimously voted for John Huber to be superintendent of schools, and David Van Wageneu for one selectman. But some of the delegates dele-gates to the county convention proved recreant to their trust and neglecte.i their instruction, thus causing (or allowing) al-lowing) the form -tion of another ticket than that contemplated. Then the friends of the two gentlemen named, seeins: there was no time to correct the I mistakes went quietly about and got up an independent Democratic ticket, substituting sub-stituting for the name of A. Wootton for superintendent, that of H. M. Aird. I who liad been placed on the ticket by the 'Citizens.' and the name of D. Van j Waeenen, Sr., fr that of A. J. Alexander, Alexan-der, as selectman. And, to make sure i of still be inn Democrats, they followed j suit as to the Representative, and put Km the name of A. Hatch, just t he ! same as the Te ular' Democrats had I done." ! "So that's No. -J?" J I "Yes, sir." i "And Mr. Hatch trot there?" i "So they say.

Didn't IPefeli, when he came I down, srive you some facts instead of his conf d comments?" 'Not a cipher." 1 "That's just like him. Well, cut it out of the 'iFatr."
