portion of the republican ureas and party which infamously endeavors to charge the effects of the lesdsidtivf errors of a thin of a century uoon apart a-part which had but Just enter d into power when those terrible evils overspread over-spread the country The logic which argues that effects precede their causes is tit reason nl for a party which affirms af-firms that the foreigner pays the tariff

the judgs and insult upon tne militia and the con tablllalY while those officers were engaged in i I pieservmg the public peace and seeking seek-ing to turn hack the tide of poverty which was flowing into the territory I We deeply sympathize With the dis i tress of our lellow citizens the unemployed 4 unem-ployed working people of the country and particularly of those who are dwellers in our territory We deplore the policy which has brought into our midst large bodies of destitute men I who have been supplied with the very means that was required for the sup I port of the resident poor and some of whom sought obtain the work which i was needed by our own population We declare it to be our conviction that I only by the reforms which will be in j troduced by a democratic congress and I administration can relief be afforded to the oppressed and needy workin population and prosperity be 1 assured to the toiling masses I We denounce the false pretenses recently re-cently put forth by leaders of the republican re-publican party by which they seek to aecieve the voters of the United States into the belief that they are friends to eilver by linking it withthe heresy of protection The terms bimetalibm I and the enlarged JSB of silver by which they seek to dazzle the eyes of the west and the south are only catih phrases to fool the unsophisticated They do not mean the free and un linutt d coinage of silver at tue ratio ot 16 to 1 which is he only true solution solu-tion of the money problem and the only genuine bimetallic policy We denounce the national republican For its false pretenses of can party sudden regard for tne people of Utah I h aiiist whom in its platforms and by extiHiie legislation it indicated intense lufctility from its inception Its simulated simu-lated affection is coincident w th the appearance of a possibility of r Du1 > li can support in tne territory and that its support was the only cause of its unselfish tend new attitude It is the emesE whicn the spider feels for the tiy We denounce the only repuhlicaiaTeg islature of Utah terriioiy For its waste of prvbiio time and money in vaIn endeavors to manufacture party capital For its opposition to the educational interests ot tbe territory by refusing to appiopnate sufficient fund for the agricultural college and to carry on tile university according to the provisions ot L th law

themselves them-selves evading the officers sent to arrest ar-rest them and hiding until a republican majority could be assured rliua stopping stop-ping tue proiiiess of public business inC in-C upper house of the legislature and bringing that body into public contemPt con-tempt was a scene unparalleled in the annals ot our country and exhibits the republican party in an attitude of cowardice and absurdity The republican legislature l showed more bombast and less capacity more parsimony and smaller economy greater partisanship and narrower Btattemanbhip than any other legislative legisla-tive assembly in the history of the ter ritory We end fmrthe actior of Governor I Caleb W West in the interposition of the veto power vested in hinTT31lHK to prevent the enactment of vicioub I aud partisan
