Show !T APPEAL. ie Tribune now appeals to Mr. Sutherland's r self; wants him to suspend his senatorial itions for ten years, until the people realize sell-sacrificing is his nature, and all join to 3r honors upon him. For pure impudence Insolence this appeal is a daisy, especially considering the source from which it ema-ripped ema-ripped of surplussage and middle-men it I read as follows: "You know George that I, wanted to be re-elected. I gave you as game it as was in my power to beat you. When s refused to go my way, I did not quit; I am n the habit of being thwarted in my plans; w nothing of that discipline which causes eliant and self-respectful men to accept the table when the inevitable does not come way; I am not one of the kind that is will-o will-o wait for a vindication from the people and is for two reasons one that there is nothing ie to be vindicated for, and, second, my ex-nce ex-nce with the people is that a little bull-dozing a little judicious buying is worth years of ng for them to discover paramount virtues b. I am the more influenced in this from my -ledge of the fact that possibly my Inherent es are not of the kind that shine out in such ifulgent splendor, as is liable to attract the :erent passer by. Hence when you seemed ve the best of me, I said to myself: 'This sen-al sen-al question is no more settled by one seem-efeat seem-efeat than is the tariff question and fate does lalf as often settle political questions in Utah Des judicious management.' So I assumed a role. I turned reformer. You know tho boys e apple tree merely jeered so long as the old only Hung sods at them, but when he tried i they hurried to get down. Well I deter-d deter-d to try rooks. You must admit that I have shying them with some little persistency, only mistake I made was that I did not know you were so high up the tree that I could reach you I knocked off all the lower ches. I tried to break up the party that I bwn bossing for three years. I did it at the of giving the electoral votes of Utah to Par-vnd Par-vnd Davis, but I did not care 30 cents- for all so that in the general wreck I could see you tumbling down You were the real cause y wrath, for it was you who was in my way, what is there in you that you should dare to e to anything that I wanted for myself? I& " j f "Looking over the wreck and seeing how miserably mis-erably I had failed, I sicked all my hounds upon you, and they have been baying for weeks at your heels, but somehow tbey do not seem to pcare you. "Now as a laat resort, I appeal to your generosity. gener-osity. I ask you to give up this unholy ambition of yours for this year, to permit some good reliable man I don't care a cent who to climb into your brogans, and for you to wait until the people see your self-abrogation and all arise to make your election sure. It may take ten years; It might require re-quire fifty or seventy-five years for the people to see it, but that would not worry me, but for my sake I beg you to come down." |
