Show COME FORTH IF CONVIMCED. Every mtn should have a party He should have a mind of his own 111 po'i-tics, po'i-tics, Those who say that they don't care to belong to any party .show a weak ness that is lamentable. It denotes iu most cases a very undecided character, if not a lack of knowledge. There are but few people ot that kind in Utah. They usually study a subject for themselves, them-selves, and are D Jd enough to take a bold decided stand in politics, as so many have dona in religion, when convinced con-vinced which side will insure the best government. The point we desire to get at is this: The gieat majority of our voters have not vet taken sides. The August election elec-tion is now close at hand, and the services servi-ces of all pronounced Republicans are needed to shape the campaign and make ' I ita success. If, now, the e men (and we Lelieve there are manv) who feel conj vi need that Republicanism is the only sound political doctrine, let them come tup.u Likewise, if there be some who can accept the free trade dogmas of our Democratic friends, let them come out from under the Cover. Republicans I , would like to know whom they have to meet in this po itical contest' A slight enemy is usually the hardest to tight. Republicans found this the case during the rebellion. It wouid have been better bet-ter if many ol tne Democrats who remained re-mained al home and were "peaceful" you kuuw, hadjoined their brelhern in the wicked fight, so the boys in blue could have better known how to deal with them. As it was, many stood as traitors at the head ot the Union forces, and did everything in their power to discourage dis-courage the success of the Federal army Wheu we say everything in their power, we mean of course, in the sneaking way iu which they labored. In the political contest, here in Utah, we hope theie will De no sneaks. We would like to see eviy man come out and stand by his convict ons. Do not hesitate if you are convinced wh ch party will do the most for Utah and the country at large. Nothing No-thing can be gained bv waiting to see "wh ch way the cat will jump." Though the party you join may be in the minority minori-ty to-day, if the piiuciples which veu ac-ce.it ac-ce.it are true they will triumph. |
