The sinners w. thin our own ranks we are quite able to keep in check, and thete is a proper way to make complaints, a proper place to piesent it, and a due'y aulhonzed tribunal to sit upon all such cases. vVe, however, favor a liberal policy and where it can s.l-l- y be dune, the majori'y do well to allow the minority a representation; but it should be given and received as a courtesy, and not as a concession to threaiend cvei'.htow; and should be looked uoon as conscious power in the dominant patty, and ii really only an act ol justice. Whether those mi m the Citizens Party clicose to dubb "Dictators," have niaJemistakes.in the past or not, the peo-ple will find that they aie better friends to the Peoples Party.thau can possbly be those who w.ll in. inornate a Citizens move to try and split the Party (Continued on fourth page.) the caucus held here last August, when they used every scheme to expel quali-fied voters from tne caucus, and would have succeeded if they could have fur-nished a suftient number ol votes. The disoositiou to sjbordinate the soverign will of the people to a selfish ambition of man, was manliest to all present, and the result of the action, on the part of dic-tators, was the defeat of the best inter-est ol Manti This ambiguous sen'.eicj needs a little explanation. Trior to the last Angust election a committee was chosen, that was known as the Defense Committee. It was composed of all political com-plexions, and their duty was to de-fend the financial interests of Manti by do'ng all in their power to have the county seat retained at that point. It was purely a business proposition, and very properly gave representation to all classes of bus-iness men, as such. It was not a People's Party niovnient, and had nothing whatever to do with the politics of that party. It is so plain that it is a mystery how anybody could have thought otherwise. The Peoples Party of Manti were trying to retain, what the same party at two other towns were trying to wrest from them; party lines being Ignsr-ed- . And yet some of those honora-ble committee men so far mistook, or ignored the causes that called them into existance, as to assune to have the right to run the caucus, to send men. of their choosing, to represent the Peoples Party in Coun-ty Convention, called not to de ciile the County Seat question but to nominate men for County Officers that should be run on the Peoples Party Ticket. And but for the prompt and decided action of the Hon. Win. K. Reid, we are cf the opinion, that this Defense Commit-tee of mixed citizens, acting solely as defenders of Manti's business in-terests, would have been foisted up-on the Peoples Party of this County as an authorized delegation; and the members of that party owe Mr. Reid a vote of thanks, whether they know it or not. Now these "citizens" are mad because this scheme was not consu-mmated, and claim that the iuterests of Manti would have been better "subserved, "but would the interests of the Peoples party of San Pete have been better "subserved5" So far as expelling qualified vot-ers is concerned, without being in-formed of the exact action taken at that particular caucus, we venture to say there is no officer of the Peo-ples rarty who would desire to expel any genuine member of his party. If there wtre other persons present, (some of the members of the De-fense Committee, for instance) they should have been excluded accord-ing to all the rules governing such organizations; and the member who would not vote for such expulsion, were remiss in their duty. In proof of this, note the actio, 1 of an Anti- - celv a vote The cliairm in their stated 111 tit was time to electa Local Coinmittee.the fol-lowing; named gentlemen were elected P H Andcrsoi ,C Tennaut, N W Ander-son.

People's Party Man THAT CIRCULAR would make a good companion piece to the one issue I last summer, before the August election, setting forth the reasons why Manti should retain the county seat, and which had as much to do with the strength of the opposition as any known side issue. Some of the signers are also the same. The persons who have issued this document have taken a very false position, an 1 stated as reasons for their attitude and inovment, irrele v mt matter.and that which docs not exist in fact. First, the circular says, after the introductory Now we the citizens and voters in this pre inct, deuv the rtfht of the par-ties calling this caucus, to make such a c.ill.as we sincerely consider ilia; the Local Committee foileited all claim to such position when they ignored the call ol the Territorial. Committee lnsi October, an J allowed one m 111 to usurp the constitutional lights 'l the people and appoint h m self a delegate to the Terr torial Convention, by which the people were deprived of a voice in Said convention, and w!ii.:h act so enraged m my of our citizens t at they positiely ft fused to vote at th-- j November in cmsj.i lence of which our de-- e le I st many vol-s;n- id instead of our local Committee leseuting this inovation upon our p lineal rights, they quietly submitted to the outage, and by so doing; in our opinions have no right to call up u you to meet in caucus or in a'iy 01 her capac ty. This circular does not state to what party the promoters belong, nor what party they are arraigning; but judging by the notice that Hon. Win Luke published, and to which they refer, we presume they are find ing fault with the P. P. for not doing their duty by the Peoples Party; and' this mongrel p lkical party, are about to take the scalps of the local Peo-p'.- ts party committee, for a neglect of duty by the County Committee. Great Ca;ar! There is gall for you! And prominent among these are the yo inj men who have been study-ing Civil Government for sight yeirs, and waving the red flag of d.'fiance a'ternately in the faces of the "Reid Ring" and the Suffrage Association, and never yet struck their colors!

As will be seen, this call was reg-ular, timely, and to the point; but Immediately after its issuance; a iieteogenioui miss, so far as polit-ical bias is concerned, issued the following circular, in the name of a '"Citizens Purty." To t ie Citiztas of Mxnti Cily. Our attention is called to a notice of a caucus 10 be held on Ihe 29th inst. lor the p irpose of nominating officers lo fill the municipal positions in the city, t b? v ted lor 011 the 9 th d ty of .February next. N w, we ciiizens and voters iri this p ecinc, deny the riali'iT the parties tailing: this caucus to make such call, as we smcerly consider that the Local Committee foifeited all claim to such position when they ignored the the call of the Tetrilorid Committee last October, and allowed one man to usurp the constitutional rights of Ihe people and npp lint himself a delegate to the 'fetiilorial Convention, by which the pe- ple were deprived of a yoic in said c (iiveution. and u iucli net to enraged many of ur citizens that they positively refused to vote at the N ivember el. .ciion, in consequence of wtrcli our Delegate lost many voles, and h.s e.id .1 our local comin llee resenting this up in our political lighti, they quietly submitted to the outrage, fend by so doing, in our opin on, have 110 right to call upon von to meet in caucus or in any other capacity. We also call the attention of the people to the anion t l assumed leaders in the cam us h Id here, last August, when they used every Jlieme to etpel quililied voters from l'ie caucus, and w mid hive succeeded I they 011I I have famished a sufficient number of votes. The d.sp isiiion to the joverijjn well of the people I I the sellish ambition of man, was man-- (fest to all present, and the result of ihe BCtion. oil the p irt of these dictators, was the defeat of tlvj best interests of Manti. We therefore claim that ciud.-dat- es should be selected for their ahility lo subseive the liest interests of our fast growing c ty, han lor willingi ess to subvert the public welfaie to graliiy pei soli d ani'iitioo. From ihe history of tin past. ve have t very reason to bebeve that we w. II be dt alt with any wav but jal'ly I y tlioic win assume co itr 1 of Htlaits. Ring Liberal caucus held in n- -i on the 28th of Jan. and rf a nnl paper, Thz "Tw?Tn?ielore claim that cand dates should be selected lor "there ability to subserve the best interest of our fast growing cily, then for there willingness to subvert the public welfare to gratify personal ambition This clause is out of place, and far fetched, as a person without "personal ambition" will do no good for the public, no matter how much their willingness to serve the public. How proud a party would be of a man elected on their ticket, say for Mayor, whose greatest recom-mendation for the position was that he was utterly devoid of "personal ambition." Or, to state the thing in plain terms: too lazy to rustle. A certain degree of ambition is abso lutely necessary; coupled with a degree of manly firmness, an un-swerving and incorruptable honor; and the absence of the latter, does not make the former unnecessary. Again, the presumption is that the present city council are not en-terprising, aud that they are there for personal agrandizenient. Take a brief elance at some of their labors The fact is, some of the members of the present city council have served the city ol Manti for years, and have served it wed The inauguration of and principal part of the woik of the beautifying of the c?metery,one of Manti's proudest labors, was the work of a part of the members of the present council in connection with their collegues at the time the work was lone The most important woik that has ever been inagutated 111 Manti was under Ihe regime of the present council namely the system of water works. According to their logic, Chair-roa- n Luke has no JJ ja '",l',T.!u' 011 any other a?Si,lrom any right to protest or arraign any officer of the Peoples Party proper. If two armies are contending and a man deserts, and fights one battle under the flag of the enemy, he is shot as a traitor; if a beneficiary under the terms of a will attempts to break it and fails, he looses all that would have been his, if he had in the testators conditions; and so if a member of the Peoples party "bolts," and helps the enemies fight one battle, he is a traitor; if he attempts to break the will of the ma jority of his party he can no longer arraign officers or demand explana tions. Further. Ths peoples party don't want any set of disgruntled Liberals' Democrats, Independents, or Doubt fuls, to assist them in keeping their officers in the line of their duty; or prevent them from being muzzled, build' zed, and "dictated" too. The whole paragraph is mislead-ing in the extreme, and calculated to deceive the members of the peoples party into a belief that Hon, Mayor Luke had received orders from the Territorial commit-tee which he ignored, when such is not the case, and the "citizens" know it. So far as "one man" usurping the rights of the entire party, is concerned.it was not Jayor Luke, nor any other person enter-ing into this question. The voters of Manti will probably be intsre. t id, also, in knowing which one of our Delegates lost votes s; of the lighteous "rage" of the gentlemen composing the citizen's party. By scanning the ticket, it will be seen by the most magnanimous construction that John T, Caine, Peoples Party, lost six votes, and Goodwin and Evans seven. And for this grave offense which Mr Luke did not coinniit,the"Citizens" party will not allow him to call the people of Manti together again. The circuhr further says: We also call Ihe attention of the peo-ple to the action of assumed, leaders in We therefor by request ol the cut- -i ' sens, and in c nisideralion ol the fore Uoinii facts, respectfully invite lh peo mm!7vR.
