Show The Tribune's loud headlines Saturday Satur-day morning indicated revolution in Utah oyer thi constitutional convention conven-tion count. "Fraud," it cries in big black type. "How the election returns were doctored." "Forgery and falsification falsifi-cation of the lists," and yet in all the evidence given below there was not a ingle word to bear out the bold headlines. head-lines. Evidently the Tribune wants a bit of a shindy over this matter, and we greatly fear that its wishes will be grattfied. The Tribune doesn't want statehood, and it is playing recklessly for a bit of a revolution in order that no conyention and no constitution will be had. It is funny to see statehood people standing by the Tribune in this matter. How ardently does the Tribune de-eire de-eire statehood anyhow? We haye no 3ort of an ideajthat that paper has anything any-thing elBe in view in the course it is pursuing now, than to get up some sort of a muddle, probably a fight over the result which it vainly hopes mav ultimately ul-timately result in defeating statehood. The Mormon republicans who are so loyaly following it in its warfare against an honest count by the commission, commis-sion, have the dust beautifully thrown into their eyes beyond a doubt. There has been some shady work done doubtless, doubt-less, but all indications point unerringly unerr-ingly to the republicans as the perpetrators. perpe-trators. The Ephraim Eaterprie now comes forward and attacks the veracious interviews in-terviews with democratic election officers of-ficers In Sanpete occurring in the Tribune. Tri-bune. It publishes real interviews with the said democratic election officers and they, to a man, "go back on" the Tribune fakes. Does the great Salt Liake daily call that sort of thing uonorable, or progressive journalism? If so, we call it malicious falsification and nothing else. Even Mr. Arnasa Aldrich denies ever having' an interview inter-view with the Tribune reporter. This Is the way the Tribune trie3 to work up a bit of a revolution to keep Utah out of the union. The fight oyer the count grows fierce and fiercer day by day. All sorts of reports re-ports are published and for all sorts of purposes. The republican managers are fighting to save the ridicule which would attach were the official count to show that they had not carried the constitutional con-stitutional convention. They are compelled com-pelled to do this so that suspicion may not attach to Mr. Cannon's case. It does seem very much as if Mr. Cannon would be in danger if they should after all lose the convention. Indeed have ire fallen upon very curious times. The Boston Post notes that since the new tariff went into effect a man can clothe himself and his family at a less cost than ever before in all the history his-tory of the country. The new tariff law is felt to be a vast relief and were the silver question settled as it should be, an era of good times would dawn such as we have not known for forty years. Democratic congresses will Boon be in demand after the next two years of the republican article has been tried. Thb Utah Sugar company appeal to the people for support, as against the sugar trust. This appaal will not pass unheeded by the people, but it will be loyally answered by the people demanding only Utah sugar from their merchants. We publish the appeal in another place in this evening's Dis- i patch and respectfully call the attention atten-tion of our readers to it. j The Herald does not think football is just the amusement which should be furnished for the Young Men's Christian association boys. They , are possibly muscular christians. If so, it is alright. There will be employ ment and amusement for another lot of muscular christians, we suppose, if the commission should succeed in counting in a democratic majority for the constitutional convention. The Tribune's headlines on Sunday morning over tne report of the trial of the mandamus cased, were positively blood-curdling. "Laid Bare, "Infamous "Infam-ous Plot" and the like choice and sensational sen-sational lines. Now the evidence adduced ad-duced does not in a single line warrant war-rant any such declarations as these. Dave Day threatens that he will pay his attentions to the Utah papers later on. That is cruel. It would be far rELirs iiercirni for theTdoogr. tjJDave to pour out the vials at ones and not keep the Utah lads in suspense. It will be dreadful when it does come. There is only one way to settle the muddle and that way the Tribune opposes. op-poses. It wants the thing settled by its head- line writer. He is the only power which passes current with the editor of the Tribune. The Tribune's supply of wind seems inexhaustible. If the trial should continue the supply will continue to be ample. |
