The Republican City Convention convened in the Salt Lake Theater on Monday last for the purpose of nominating candidates to fill the various elective offices of our city. The Hon. E.B. Critchlow, attorney at lav, who is always wrong at both ends and wrong in the mid dle, was selected to preside as tem porary and permanent chairman. Mr. Critchlow made a model pre siding officer, but owing to the un ruly delegates who participated in the proceedings he was utterly un successful in getting the conven tion under his complete control and the result was that a. great deal of commotion and 'agitation pre vailed during the three sessions. After the resolutions were read and adopted, Judge Colborn arose and offered an amendment to the resolutions. His amendment was in favor of condemning Jimmy Glendinning and de gang for rob bing and plundering the citizens of Salt Lake out of fifty thousand dollars a year by charging them excessive rates for the water which they consumed. It is needless to add that Judge Colborn and -his amendment went down to an in glorious defeat for no one does not need to raise from the dead in order to inform the people that the grand old party has always been in favor of toadying to the millionaires, the nabobs, and the bankers. And any or.e possessing a thimblefull t)f brains knows very well that the grand old party has always been in favor of oppressing and robbing the common people of our conn try. THE BANKERS AND THE MONEY POWER WERE IN THE 8ADDLE. While we have never prdten ded to know a great deal about the manip ulations of Republican conventions it was evident to our mind while observing all of the mysterious movements upon the part of the bankers and their paid hirelings, that they owned and controlled the 'convention from start to finish. When Chairman Critchlow an nounced that nominations for Mayor ' were in order, Banker Frank Kimball, who is Parson Mc Cornick's right hand man, grew exceedingly red in the face while he was engaged in delivering a powerful speech in favor of A. P. Doremus. Banker Ed. Duncan, who always spells negro with a double g, ap peared as though he wanted to holler and shout for A. F. Dore sas. Toauny Lewis rushed around like a chicken with its head cut off while he was rallying the heel ers and shouters to the rupport of A. F. Doremas. J. J. Coram lost all of his dig nity while he was engaged in urg ing oa the gang to stand by A. F. Doremas. H. F-Evaas rashed around like a b 11 in a China store, and swore he wosld vote the Democratic ticket mslsM they voounatal A. F. -1OfSzaVH. It fM reported that Parson W. S.

F. Doremus. And when the result of the first ballot was announced, Doremus received 282 votes and H. G. Mc Millan 241 votes. When all was ready to take the second ballot a big chuckle-headed, flannel-mouthed gentleman shouted out in a loud voice, "Hurrah for Mick Millan," and he queericd all of Mr. McMillan's chances for re ceiving the nomination, for A. F. Doremus won with both hands down on the third ballot, and then all the bankers and their servile minions applauded and threw their hats and canes in the air and shouted long live the king, for we will worship around the golden feet of McKinley, Morgan, Mc Hanna, Herr Most, Rothschilds, Doremus and Co. When Mr. McMillan's friends and supporters realized that they were utterly defeated, some of them declared that they intended to cut and slash the single gold standard ticket on the day of the election and several were thrown out of the Theater head formost by the ser-geant-at-arms because they had the courage to declare that they in tended to vote for the next mayor of our city, the Hon. W. H.Dale. The remainder of the ticket went through without a hitch or break, and it was perfectly apparent to all that it was a cut and dried arrange ment from start to finish. There are one or two very good men on the ticket, but the entire single gold standard ticket will be swal lowed up in defeat on the second day of November unless the Lord and the powers that be hearken unto the voice which is crying in the wilderness and comes to the rescue of A. F. Doremus and the grand old party of Utah. THE GRAND O. PARTY IS ON " THE RUN. On Tuesday, October 12th, city elections were held in Indianapolis, Ind., and Chattanooga, Tenn., and the Grand Old Party and its gold- bug candidates were completely and overwhelmingly defeated in both cities. Mayor Thomas Tag gart, whom we know to be a warm friend of the negro race, was re elected by a handsome majority and all of his associates succeeded in defeating their Republican op ponents. Even old Ben Harrison who has always imagined that he owned and controlled Indianapolis was greatly astonished over the re sult of Tuesday's election. The negro voters of Chattanooga, Tenn., -came to the conclusion that they could not exist on false promises and they deserted the Grand Old Party ship the same as rats desert a sinking vessel and the result was that the g. o. ship of stateiiecome stranded on the sand bars but the negroes and Col. Ed. Watkins and the other Democratic candidates marched on to victory. v wing to our limited space we are compelled to discontinue our review of '-The Past and the Fu tHreof the American Negro," by D.

How can men have the audacity to promise good times under a big protective tariff in the very face of our long dreadful depression from if 3 to 1878 under the greatest Active tariff ever known? That Ae extolled Merrill tariff of vj imposed under the pretext of raising war revenue on the false doctrineVUe hisher the tax the m more revenue." Now wp. nil l-nmr T I .1 was that from 173 to 1878 the conn- ' information so -we decided tore try passed aV tme of depression ' produce the publication in full lower than eVer known. Again from week to week through the every person otWdinarv intelli- columns of the Broad Ax. be?in- - gence must know that our present period ot hard Mimes besan just oetore Harrison's term ex pired; that the great disasters fell upon South Americawo years i 1 ( . - . - i bet ore and were carried hvW, and bounds as upon a greatidal wave from Argentine to Australia and New Zealand causing shocks there that were felt in tremendous felt in tremendous.', throes over the world, creeping over Europe and the world, thence falling upon the British banks in the south of the United States in the first months of 1893 and finally despite all our resistance falling in great crashes upon our own banks in the summer of 1893, and under the McKinley tariff, which the new administration had been so silly as to threaten just at such a time. It was as though in a time of general incendiarism and horrible fear and suspicionsome fool were to go at burning out his chimney and spread ing combustibles around. And now with such au experience for our political tricksters to dare to play into the hands of speculators by a new tariff under pretence of taxing us into prosperity. More tax on liquors and tobacco too which means more speculation and less revenue as sure as time passes. One more fact. These fellows dare to assert that without a big protective tariff our manufactures cannot exist. And yet the census report of 1860, by Kennedy, a pro tection commissioner, declares that never had this or any country so increased in manufactures as had the United States from 1850 up to 18G0, and he points to his tables just completed to prove it, and remarks that it had all occurred under a simple revenue tariff. He asks what would have been our growth under encouragement by protection. Well, the report for 1880 shows one of the greatest disasters of all time under protec tion. Now any reader can get hold of the census reports for 1860 and for 1880 and see for himself. From 1850 to 1860 under free trade the increase of factories was seme eighteen thousand, and of invest ment over 100 per cent. That of 1880 shows an increase of less than eighteen hundred and of but 35 per cent on investment. As whole states and new cities have come into existence frop 1870 to 1880 and had established thousands of new factories-this shows such a won derful destruction among old and new as is incredible. Holt. Tuskeoee, Ala., Oct. 8, 1897. Julius F. Taylor, Esq.. Editor and Publisher Broad Ax: Dear Sir Last year you were kind enough to send your valuable paper to us for our library, which courtesy was appreciated as much by me as by our students. The favor will be appreciated if you will again put us on your list for this year. Thanking you in advance, I am, Yours very truly, Booker T. Washington, Principal Tuskegee Normal Institute. THE GOSPEL CONCERNING CHURCH AND STATE. On or about September 1st we received a little pamnhlet entitled "The Gospel mcerning Church it was reviewed in and State," and the columns of the Broad Ax of Sept. 18th, and the week following we received a great many letters enquiring the price of the book and where it could be obtained. We could not lmn.irt th d;.wl --o- I niug with the issue of October 2nd, '. ! and we estimate that it will take about six weeks longer to complete the reproduction of The Gospel Concerning Church and State, and all parties who are interested in perusing it can have the privilege of 6' doing so by ordering back 'bers and bv subscribing fi num- for the J. Broad Ax Broad K The Deseret Evening News of Tuesday evening, Oct. 12th, con tains a long editorial on this re markable production, and it as serts Uat from a purely literary point of-Tlcw it i3 an abominable piece of botch work, totally desti tute of a scintilla of t!l3te, art or excellence. We do not desire to engage in a wu..u,..c; ....... i,uc ews upon that proposition, but we are per fectly ' williug to let the people decide whether or nofrit is worthy of their cousideration. 'We are unacquainted with the author or "Juab, a high private in Israel " who is supposed to be its author, hi.if- nntTririicrnnnitKr tiiic Tnrrv w intpnd tn nnntiniie to renroducftl "The Gospel and State." Concerning Church THE HON. M. B McGEE M. B. McGee, the leading col ored Democrat of this city, has ad ruitted that the Republicans will carry the city election. McGee is quite well informed and is well liked by the boys. Plain Double Dealer. According to Editor Hackley of the Denver Statesman Mr. M. B McGee was the leadimg flim-flamer of that city, and we are further in formed by Editor Hackley that after friend McGee and his vest pocket advertising scheme had suc ceeded in Aim-flaming the good citizens of Denver and of Colorado out of several thousand dollars he left for parts unknown. The' Hon. M. B. McGee the leading colored Democrat of our city who admits that the Re publican party will carry the city election arrived in our fair city on or about February 1, 1897, and from that time up to the present he has been engaged in skinning the best people of our city with his vest pocket advertising scheme. M. B. McGee," Esq., may be the leading colored Democrat of our city for all that wc know, but we are of the opinion that if he is a true Democrat he would not con descend to run after false gods. We have no desire whatever to do Mr. McGee an injustice but we have come to the conclusion that our great (?) leader wants to be in a position to say "Good Lord and good Devil." In other words he wants to -soft soap the Democratic candidates for lucre and then milk the 'Republican heifers for cam paign money. Sikscrlk fir to BROAD AX. PROFESSIONAL.
