In these, our last words before the The Commbecial will endeavor to be, a heretofore, fearless and straightforward, but oourUotis in ex bttl, pressing its views. Voters: There in but one issue before 'you tomorrow. That issue is a simple one. It is: Shall the liberal party be continued in control of the city government, or hU the city government be placed in the hands of a now party, raild ing itself the "Citizens' party," but of three political factions, tie principal of which is the People's, or Mormon party f In other words, shall t hero be a change of party ? lfso,hyf The Liberal party stands upon its recUnord. That re.ord is a proud one. der it administration this city has in two years rancid marvelous progrecH. It Lai niude in that short space of time an a Iviu.ooiuent greater than has been made 'n its entire history of more than a third of a ooutury under Mormon rule. It hatt made Oden known to the world as one of the most progressive cities on this continent What a splendid party record such statements constitute. Possibly there have been mistakes. What individual or party looking backward, cannot discover instances where a better course might have been adopted? But we estimate parties as we do individual by general results, not by ocjasioual incidents. And it should be remembered, too, by every voter, that criticism and are easy occupations, requiring only an ounce of brains to a pound of galL Many a b:x politician has in five minutes whittled up the box on which he sat and the splendid fabrio of this government, while he expectorated wisdom and tobacco juice. No truer estimate of the average reform critic bos been given than Byron's: "A man must MrT hit time at every trade, Saia critic the are ready mule." No party ever attempted to climb into the position of another ythout tnakiog wholesale charges of corruption and mismanagement Such hes been the course of the opposition in this campaign. Out detinite charges that could be definitely met and answered have not been made. Corruption' has boon charged. But the gentlemen who make this charge fail to tell us what is the nature of the corruption and who is the guilty man. Mismanagement is alleged, but hi wht or by whom is loft to the imaginatiCn But there is one very important question voters should usk. Has this new party which asks control given any security that ft will make no mistakes? Has it given any bonds that it will not tnisraanage affairs? Is it not a specimen of coloasol cheek for it to claim that all that h necessary to remedy the alleged evils it complains of is merely to pass 3 com-txwo- . fault-findin- g dry-goo- etai L-i-r- J Tke right. But there should be no such Uung a an ecrktkticai political party and such the People's, or Mormon party in.

It w in direct opposition to th genius of this government Any who toadies and truckle to this on th pretended plea of "reform" party and from the very nature of the ease is, must be either acting from mistaken or unworthy motives, and should not re ceive the support of Liberal voter. W hope the day will soon com when the Mormons will vote their individual opinions, and not as dictated to by re ligious leadera. When that day comes, Utah will be emancipated aiid will wita solid ness a prosperity as ber magnificent mountains. It ta to be that that day hoped will soon come, for among the noblest and bestcitixensof this beautiful city ar Mormon men against whose characters no word of censure can be uttered, and against whoa political belief only the on charge but grave one of church dictation, can be brought So far as their religious beliefs go, they are entitled to the same consideration extended to any other denomination. But the Mormon church, a well as Methodist, Baptist, Congregational or any other church, mut keep out of politics as religious bodies. . The elective franchise is an indivinuul right to be wielded and controlled only by the voter. This is o.ie of the lessons that will again be taught if the Liberal party is victorious. Let it bo taught It is necessary. It is more in the interest of peace and harmony than fusion. It will do more to bring about a lasting peace than any other method. Utah it watching Ogdcu.

See to it, voters, that the glad news shall again be Hashed over mountain and plain, and beneath the ocean: "Ogden has elected the Liberal ticket!" Ir asy proof were needod to support the general belief that the "Citizens'" ticket is only a Mormon party affair under a new name, the majority of those preseut at the "Citizens' " party rally yesterday would be sufficient Tho estimate of the mnke-uof the audience was three fifths Mormons, h "Anti's" and one fifth straight Liberals who were there purely from motives of curiosity. It was noticeable that statements made against the Liberal party were received with enthus-ias- ti i approval by the Mormon part of the audience. p one-fift- Ma. Farrkll, the president of the Bricklayers' uuion, who leap?d into temporary fame by his untimely remark at the Liberal meeting Friday uight is now vainly seeking some excuse for being alive. Out of a membership of eighty-fiv- e people who are registered on the rolls of the bricklayers' union, it is said that farrell cannot command five votes. The bricklayers, with the other labor organizations, are solid for the Liberal ticket. ; .
