If a former Republican changes his views and supports the Democratic ticket, the Tribune swears that he has been whipped into line by apostolic influence. If either Republicans or Democrats stand by their party and refuse to desert the colors that they have supported for ten years, the Tribune vows that they are cowards who are afraid to think for fear of incurring the displeasure of the church. A nice method this, of appealing to intelligent men and women for their support! What do you citizens of Utah think about it? Are you cowards, slaves, tools, or fools because you fail to follow the commands or obey the threats of an organ that has lost its reputation for decency? The K.

It is a profanation of the term American to apply the word to the methods that the Tribune is using in thi3 campaign. Had the new party any real foundation to stand upon, it would seem that its exponents ought at least to make on appeal to the reason and Intel ligents of voters. But there has been nothing of the kind in all the reams and miles of slush that the Tribune writers have penned in support of the K. K. party. Just abuse, Insinuations, slurs, wailings, objurgations and threats. The Tribune, directly or indirectly, has attacked the character of every voter who will not follow its leadings. It sober-minde- Of late the Tribunes spasm of right- eous (?) indignation has assumed a new phase. A few columns every day are now wasted in a labored and fruitless attempt to show that because B. H. Roberts is supporting Judge O. W. Powers for congress there is certainly an apostolic influence at work in Utah politics. During the past four year3 the Tribune has demonstrated its facility for getting into strange and unenviable positions, but this last step is perhaps the most ridiculous of all. Analyze the condition and see how ab surd is the contention of the K. K. organ. B. H. Roberts is a Democrat. He has been a Democrat ever since the people of Utah divided on party lines. So has Judge Powers. Both men are loyal to their party convictions. What then, would be expected of B. II. Roberts but that he should support the noml nee of his party? Suppose that Mr. Roberts should take the stump for Jos. Howell, a Mormon Republican. How quickly would the Tribune rave and liowl, crying aloud that apostolic influence was stronger than loyalty to party! The intelligent voters of Utah know that the Tribune would no this. They know that the only way to escape the attacks of this IC. K. mouthpiece is to slavishly follow in the footsteps of its master and owner. They know, too, that the time has come when the glit ter of gold will not outweigh principle at the Utah ballot box. They know all the dire threats that the paid writers of the Tribune are making as to what will happen to Utah if the voters do net get into line and bow down at the crack of the whip are only the phantoms of a perverted imagination. According to the Tribune, every one who dare3 to think in opposition to the latest whim of its owner (and manifclrl have been his changes of front) is cither a fool, a tool, or a knave. If a former Democrat be ns d, has directly or indirectly maligned or impugned the loyalty, the citizenship, the intelligence and the honesty of to turn every Utahn who is unwilling his political coat at the bidding of a boss. This is it3 argument. That is the way in which it appeals to the honest voters of the state: Come and join Tom Kearns new party or we will make it so uncomfortable for you that you will be sorry you ever came to Utah. Vote our American ticket, or we will proclaim to the world at large (that is, the little section of it that reads the Tribune,) that you are not worthy of the right of franchise and are no.t entitled to the protection of the Stars and Stripes. WE, that is to say, Tom Kearns and those who agree with him,. have the right to fight the party if WE cant control it, because WE are greater than any party and above any set of principles. You are only voters, and if you wont do as WE tell you to, you We must take the conseiquences. dont care what happens to Utah, If we cant win, for WE are greater than the state, and it is time that all of you learned to obey US. It is with this sort of passionate, prejudiced perversion of honor and decency that the Tribune hopes to drive voters into supporting the "American ticket. There used to be a proverb that it took nine tailors to make man. in view of the number of votes it takes to elect representatives In the north and in the south respectively, we ma have to admit that it takes a do northern voters to equal one in t revised constitution states. y i ) -- It is reported that Judge ivinr Viii fling prudence to the winds p & speechmaking by and by.
