Show The Salt Lake Herald does the handsome hand-some by Utah county in the following: "Utah county was the great central point for republican effort and strategy. strat-egy. That the democrats of that county achieved so signal a triumph when the trend of the political current was against them is evidence of good organization, efficient work and fidelity fidel-ity to the party and its principles. Three cheers for Utah county, the banner ban-ner democratic county of Utah!" The republicans have the whole world, it seems, Bave and except Utsh county. Here Is the one spot free from the taint, the oasis in the desert of protection, a green and pleasant resting place for the defeated, tired and foot sore democrats. Groyer grew too big for his party and here are the consequences. The day oi redemption put off and the scattered forces badly demoralized. All honor to Lehi. Her brave dem- ocrats did Trojan work Tuesday last, and the tide rolled back thirty-five points. Next time she will throw a democratic majority. The republicans now place the blame npon the shoulders of Thos. R. Cutler. It seems he did not deliver a Jot of votes which he had agreed to deliver. j When the two papers went to press Thursday evening seven or eight majority ma-jority for either party was all that was in sight, yet the good Enquirer claimed the constitutional convention I 'p by fifteen votes. It isn't gall the En- I quirer lacks. The Enquirer nurses that republican republi-can vote cast by President Woodruff as a matter of great importance, Thd fact is it didn't count for more than anybody else' vote. IThe Standard fiiDgs 'defiance at its foes, but thera is nothing in that. !Git down to business and make things hump. That is all that it can do and all it ought to do. The republican majority in congress ! next time represents, not. confidence in repuDlicaniem.but lack of confidence in Grover Cleveland. That is all. The Enquirer should not take the prophesying ot the Tribune too literally. liter-ally. We have known it to fail a number num-ber of times. Tj e party organ gently chides those republicans in the Fifth wan! who indulged in-dulged in a bit ot a row eaiiy in the campaign. FraNkxe will have an easy time of it in Washington. Rawlins so cleaned up the work there, that little is left to be done. The democracy of Utah will pick the flint and ti y again. It is not built of give-it-up timber. The result on the constitutional con vention is rather close. ; Utah county is the banner county of the democracy. The defeat of Wilson ia a public disaster. |
