Tlio occasion of this BSE uncorking f a Irish vial of acrid '!HH fritulation is the printing, in the JHR Xephi Entign, of the following al- LBH ieged f-peech of that well known ad- :aKR voeate of democracy and liberty: flogf "The Peopie'B Party is compoed of 3Bt the pioneer" of Utah and their off- JHR prln;r. thoo -who have built up thi SEBft country and made it what yoir now KflHSic ftee it- They are men who have en- 'JBHkj cured every hanl.liip and trial H' through which mortal man is called 'JESy to pas.

BSjj I am p!oicd to b able to tate this ESS;, evening tha. fraud belongs exclusive- KBc ly to the Liberal party, the party JBfJa whose policy his ever iieen trickery gj? and decapitate The ball of fraud was PS) set in rapid m Kion in their ranks by f) none other ttianex-eiire-nor Murray, IS? oi floured that ItOT Litiera! vote- f3-i were more than I3,0j0 People's vo:e, IjpSsj a" 1 gve the certificate of election to ( tbo Liberal candidate. When I think li of that man I slew him with the ut- 5jfe most abbnrenre and think of him b!H aimng the lowest of God's cre- SCJ atiou. I feel toward him as did old feSt Lorenzo D w to van a member of his Ksro oonrezation. Lirenza was a minister jjl1f wno usl to calj hn audience together pB? by blowing a horn. Upon one oeca- HtK lon. hsn he began blowing bis born, i;ffi ho fouml that it had been stuffed full fl of aoft soap, ami he ras so enraged KM? that he exclaimed in aloud voice: 'I gHjj haee been a minister for twonty-two & year, but I'll be enssed if I cant jjfal. lick the man that soaped that ip horn.' Aftjr a few weeks had (? gone by, the minister espied a rough fjft? appearing Liberal - looking fellow Tj skulking around among the audience. PI " After a while the fellow stepped up to HfcJ the penitent bench and began to cry. 4 When asked what was the matter, he replied, 'My sin Is too great to be for-giien; for-giien; whatsaall I do?' Tho ministor ' npike kindly to him, asking him to ' Mn.'ess his elu. promniug him that T&Z Hod vould forgive him. Hut tho sinful sin-ful ner would not be comrortoJ. 'Ifave Vfi "n Mrfen anythinj?' aikol the J1. minister. 0, worve than that,' said iy$ tae blnncr. 'Itobbeil anyone?' Kir?! asked Lorenxo. 'ttobbery ain't B nowhere," said the penitent. -Have 0 you committed murder?' continued Wf$ hl questioner. 'Oh, it is wop-9 than j murder.' Turning around to his dea-fij&j dea-fij&j con be afked lilm to hold his coat, 3& ' rlnS- I hac found the man who jj wvaped my horn.' Now I say Gov- ernor Murray is the man nho soaped 9K the horn Notwithstanding the fact SQ thattbis was one of the most glaring IP? frauds ever pejpetrated in a civilized fgf, country, the Kilt Lake Tnlune, the J orSelal organ of the party of fraud JHU I bs never ottered one sentiment gnj against It and its supporters have ever mg4 anplr ido 1 the act an I said that it was S7 jierfectly right. Tho pmy of fraud R. bas Mood upon that plank ever i-Inoe. B; That Is the party which has worked Wg: and is working to snstch from ns the K Go.I-givcn principle of freedom and n equal rihus It wa that beautiful SSM x i-pecimon of humanity Jmka Powers. Bd wl,o lobbed Hie citizens of Salt lake 2 Oiy of their rights, and who now 3f . promises to do the same thing with p the county and is s-j-ujng at the Sj rame time to rob Juab Count of her & rights." Sh We cannot vouch for tho accuse accu-se "CV of Hie reiort, but it reads all rislil and tiien-ntlm-nU and i-Ute- I K menta it cuntains will be tnJorv.-i Ip- by m my Ihousan Is of the people of 4f Utah, rim rea-on why it riles the f "liueri."organ-i much is because - It la u true. i The attempt of the organ to 1 1, . twister uji Murra 'h ciiararter and '4 ex-plilnaway his crime is truly piti- "'if able. IN usual resort rash false 'f hol, is the only refuge under i which item theltcr the criminal, llere is what it state, as a preliminary prelim-inary to conimen'ji in keeping with -; tho untruth: What Governor Murray did was to , certify that Allen G. Campbell was "; the citizen w bo hd received the groat- v, e number of votes at that time. At tha; time Mr. Cannon was not a citi- xen. Uis citizen papers were obuined - without going through any of the le- ' gal requirements which the statutes , make imperative in order to obuin r ' legal papers.'- , Krer-bjjy kaows what Murray S' ,JJ- He certified to a lie. Ho did J It at the Leek of the "Liberal" gang jf that ruled him. He did it to fceat t ' ii friend Campbell, wIiom- caira !o t " Uie place was a fraud. The statement state-ment about Mr. Cannon's papers is 5 utterly fake. Ho was regularly T naturalized, and his whole case was I thrico tifted and thoroughly ex- amined and conclusively settled bv congrct-ional authority. All the , l-tuiraliout clerks jienitaJtiiig aliens , tolieeomc citizen-, whatever shred ' 1 orfyuudaliouit may have, cannot j, made to ajiplt to this case. A A?in. Wha'erer an cleciej $ candidate's political enemies might J allege agalnt liim, Murray had no S more right to decide olllciallyon Uie matter than had cue ot his ml. I no-sal croalt-. at the wnifky bar. I The law required him to give the certificate to "the per. 'm having the greatest nuni- ber of votes.' With true "Liberal" J trickery he pntended that hu was I to give it to 'the . hav.ng Uie ? greatest number of vote,," iook Ule defeated candi late'sfal-ehood about 1 - ,M';-iCa1aDat'f-fet,UsurjIti.e ; Judicial iwwer in violation of law ; and i-uod the certificate to a ptr- wn who had not received many t more hundred vote, than Mr. Can- non had. tho.saads and thus defied the law, vitiated his o-a oath of office, and covered hirmeif with falsehood aui uuJying infamy. j- And ..very person and paper that j2S Oefcnda such crimes Is accessory to "Km aa and is branded w Ua the Eaoe bad any leme they would be silent. But the trickery which they glory In is ingrained In their nature, and tbey boast of that of which a commonly com-monly decent mind would be thoroughly thor-oughly ashamed. Mr. Thurman's rpeech Is a political politi-cal harangue and some latitude is usually allowed to such deliveries. But we believe he can demonstrate the truth of every sentence and need not be ashamed to have it published to the ends of the earth. As for the attack upon him for his utterances, wo have no doubt be will regard it as a compliment. The epithets of the vile are virtually encomium-, and an areault from the Tn&unc is a certificate oi good character. |
