Show That ftepublieau Secret. Wasiiikgton, D. O. Nov. 20. Some few republicans in Washington who have been looking toward Utah as likely to send two senators who will be tools for protective cormorants and other republican favorites, are somewhat some-what wildly hunting for Chairman Bab-cock. Bab-cock. - They have heard from Utah. In fact, some republican politicians politi-cians in Utah seem to nave gone very wild.

Babcock is now in New York, but theee anxious ones are laying for biin. primed to force him to riejK' that he ever said such things.' Ii,:nay not deny the truth of tne statements, because be-cause other besides the Herald correspondent corres-pondent were piesent at the time he made them and took great interest in the dispute as to the provisions of the enabling act. However, though it does not reflect credit on them, it is a bibit among politicians to deny anything which has created trouble, and Babcock may deny when In returns from Hew York.
