heard the officers alluda to one it h true that levies are occasionally made as a reference to our advertising columns sometimes shows but these are arranged before the date fixed an an actual sale under the hammer involving a change of ownership is not within the recollection of an y one we have met this is a proud showing reflecting honor upon the thrift 0 the community and upon the wisdom and economy of ho men who have filled alie the question wilh the officials always lias been not how heavy a tax can alie leopla pay bit rather how low can we reduce the expense of doing the legitimate work before us the Ba laries have been invariably low and the office holders have been in almost every instance bat scantily remunerated mune rated for the their personal interests it has not been necessary to take into recount losses or possible losses through official dishonesty there have been no costly favorites to make places for no private axes to grind no jobs in which the yielding

of the district court As was maintained on the examination before the commissioner and has been bield ever since the coarse of the proa and his counsel in el arting the euit in the name of the

would leave been called if the proceeding biad not been stopped by the authority the absurdity of a construction which would allow the incurring of eccli expenses against the territory while tha duly appointed or elected officers knew nothing of them is eo apparent that it is surprising how anybody could have overlooked it if such a practice were to bo allowed petty personal suits brought by any and every irresponsible vagabond could keep the public treasury depleted and the tile pot of litigation in a ceaseless boil ve refer to tho caso not ao much because THE is as because wa wish the light

of coin waiting just outside the confines 0 this territory to spring over the alno and land right in our midst if the liberals succeed at the polls next monday there are people idiotic to try to spread the impression eliat should that victory be achieved our streets would ring with silver our streams run w etli gold and alie air be filled flying green backs real estate would take a budden and prodigious leap old industries would abandoned ones revive and new ones spring into ina ine diata operation there would be wealth or those who are here and those who shall come in short that universal prosperity and peace await abe election of the liberal to enter and take possession of our lair city alie remark was made yesterday in the presence of a liberal voter 1 I know a man a ho has two million dollars to invest in ogden it abe liberals carry this election one of abe party spoke up offering to wager 0 that the airet speaker could not name ids man or give his address A modification of the statement was hen made to the eject that the amount of capital possessed by this mythical liberal admirer on the outside might be only one instead of two million dollars but the wager waa renewed on that basis between bluff and banter it was finally evolved that the man who knew so ranch about outside capital confessed that he did not know anything at all and that is about all the basis there is to this talk of the tremendous increase in values which will follow liberal success it those who wish to see a lively real estate market shall experience this spring an increase over the business of last year proportionate to abe increased opportunities and acquaintance which ogden now enjoys we consider that they ought to bo and will be amply satisfied but this if it shall be realized will be in no wise dependent upon the success of the opposition ticket we have not yet heard of a single lona fide moneyed man hesitating at alie frontier until this election shall be over elioso who aro looking westward for investment keep wining right along those whose ayea rest upon alie beauties and resources of this city do not stop to ask whether the liberals are sure to carry atie day or not As we have before pointed out those alio are far seeing and thoughtful judge and build liapes of the future by the developments of the past and mac to alie contrary notwithstanding we maintain that of

artir prospect of alie anti mormon element gaining alie ascendancy cen dancy to means haich taxation and oilier annoyances which may possibly be avoided by staying where I 1 am the prospect for liberal ascendancy may look brighter at a distance than it does nearer home while distance may lend a more repulsive aspect to heavy taxation than many people here always accustomed ta easy burdens in this respect are now able to bobsene however that may bo alie observation and experience of this gentleman famish valuable corroboration of alio view expressed in these columns that no greater inducement to residence or business seekers can exist than the record which the peoples parly has made in its conservative and economical policy of the past PRIDE GOETH A FALL the da alij union which
