Show I Ogdei Letter. Og n Utah, Aug. 8. One of the amusing iiing" connected with the boiling of the political t t se days is the interest with which the ou and would-be candidates scan the columns ft Go twin's Weekly and the attention they give R the 'ews of your "humble servant." We "dinna &n" hether they think our "peepstone" is o. k.'; ieth they think our access to the "slatemak-Rs' "slatemak-Rs' n" is easy, or whether idle curiosity gets ae b ter of them; but they all get the Weekly Shd.tl y all read it. Some of them swear (softly, $ coi se), but we keep their ears open all the inc id their eyes peeled part of the time. ! Th e was a Republican meeting the other ght 'o make arrangements for uniting with the ounp Republicans of Salt Lake at Lagoon, Au-B,st Au-B,st 9ih and the question of programme came up. Bol. H iyes remarked that it was the intention on fat o casion to open the campaign and some big Jins s ould be on hand to supply the oratory. He lid not know just who, but some of the national SLleis, etc., etc. There was a movement of si-nce si-nce when Hendershot bawled out "Send to Ire-8nd Ire-8nd for Tom Kearns." You know how blandly idicious Hendershot can be if he wants to. Well, wanted to. The crowd began to giggle and two peat men present, Hayes and Bill, looked toward jjch other. It was the first glance of sympathy tween these worthies in Ave years. And the goul snickered again. I I By the way, Reed Smoot was up here again his week minus his confident 1 ok. He has dispel dis-pel ed that there never has beon any bond of Impathy between him and the "butt-in" Senator; M fact, he and Kearns hardly speak to each other thej pass. Again, Smoot has learned that he Id nothing to elect Kearns and consequently ex-Jets ex-Jets no help from the Senator. After consulting &e dope book the third time, the candidate from !!rovo is certain that there is no Kearns-Smoot jbmbine nor could there possibly be; he, Smoot, would none of it. In short, Smoot has bumped up gainst the anti-Kearns sentiment from so many ifferent sources that he sees his own finish if he H in any way tarred with the Kearns brush. II II Our County Commissioners, not to be outdone W) Ogden's Mayor have concluded to try their Rands at legislation, so they have appointed a RmmitPe (with Charlie Hollngsworth added, of Bourse) to formulate laws for the better gov-Knment gov-Knment of counties; to present the same to the legislature at its next session, etc. Now, ttouldnt that jar you"? II A much better way, it seems to us, would be I nominate the whole kit of them for the Legislature Legis-lature Joseph Stanford for the Senate; Billy WHIP, WH-IP, Lj'nan Skeen and Charlie Hollingsworth for le He se. .Charlie would have four votes but , ftp gen us for government would find scope, and Re bel ve the State would derive great benefit J Brom h votes and labor. H W Sm "halfbaked" scribbler, writing in Truth g Rom o len, made a silly "jab" at Bill and, in- g Kdenta v, tried to "boost" George Hanson; Nei- Bier tb "job" nor the "boost" was worthy of P Kotlce ul not 10 per cent of the readers of Truth B Rfad tl article. Yet the cowardly instincts of Be Ma ir-editor induced him to order one of hia iBnials to attack Hanson with two columns of jush h the "Daily Bill" the cur who barked at ill's ' 0C 'em." The only thing in the whole pele hich furnished an index to the nature nl int. it of Bill Avas his threat to turn the city r1' to he Democrats unless he be permitted to Wn tin iSi jf i anftAMr' wq&4k yy7T3 j 4 d J& 'ff i J ilRHIIiSfflfilwyiN. i ' 1 The Last of The Old Guard.
