Show THE DISGRUNTLED ORGAN The Tr bate continues to exhibit its distress dis-tress over the charges made against the Liberal party in the platform of principles princi-ples of the Peoples party We called the attention of all loyal citizens to the policy of the Tribune ring which at present rules tho whole Liberal party with a rod of iron That policy and aim is the disfranchisement disfran-chisement of every member of the Peoples party the passage of laws preventing any member of the Peoples party from acquiring acquir-ing title to public land the appointment of a legislative commission for Utah and such other conditions affording opportunity for oppression and plunder as it would devise if in power And we ask every fair minded man whether such a party is not destructive of popular liberty and unworthy un-worthy the support of any just liberal and patriotic citizen I The Tribune denounces as untrue that the Liberals violate the fundamental truths of the constitution by seeking to deprive a large class of American citizens of the substantial right of free men Then it proceeds with an attempt to cover its infamy in-famy by saying We the Liberals would disfranchise those that aro aliens and hostile in spirit and act to this nation we would prevent such having the benefit of the land laws we would be glad to have a legislative oommission in place of the treasonplotting Mormon legislature legis-lature and we would deprive subjects of an alien rule of the rights to sit on juries in American courts The aliens the Tribune mentions it explains ex-plains in another issue are persons who do not believe that all laws aro made in pursuance of the provisions of tl e constitution consti-tution Commenting on this in a previous issue we remarked that American citizens should ponder on this monstrous doctrine doc-trine this doctrineof disfranchisementfor belief only If it were actually put into practice it would speedily disfranchise a great majority of the thoughtful citizens of the United States not even omitting that great man the editor of the Tribune who believes that laws permitting members of the Peoples party to vote or to acquire title to public land aro not framed in pursuance pursu-ance of tho provisions of tho constitution who believes the laws discriminating against silver aro very unjust if not unconstitutional un-constitutional and who is said to have taken a very peculiar stand on the DUEl SCOTT decision The editor of the Tribune then should be disfranchised by his own ruling Let us see who else would be included in this disfranchisement dis-franchisement scheme of the Tribunes and to what an application Tritiunc patriotism would lead All citizens believing with thatgrcat Democrat GHOVEU CIHVULAXD that laws which take money from tho whole people for the enrichment of tho trriff barons violate that ficUjineuU piluciyle 10f I the constitution equality before the I lawal1 these people should be disfranchised disfran-chised since they believe these laws are not framed in pursuance of the provisions of the constitution The Liberal party claims that though that party abridged and almost destroyed the right of trial by jury in this territory though it secured tho disfranchisement of the women of Utah though it endeavored and is still endeavoring to supplant a legislature legis-lature elected by the people with a commission commis-sion appointed by Congress though it objects ob-jects to the admission of Utah as a state and though it advocates legislation that would debar all persons who belong to a certain religious organization from acquiring acquir-ing title to any part of the public domain yet that it is not guilty of another lot of things which the platform charges upon it TilE HERALD pointed out that these are the only things for which the platform arraigns ar-raigns the Liberals and asked what lot I of filings P1 i uouncle ipai could deny Aud length tho Liberal organ finds that its party is charged in the platform plat-form with persistent misrepresentation which it roundly declares is a falsehood 1 It manages also to find that the Liberals are charged with attempting to disfranchise men because the latter will not support Liberal men and measures The organ admitStho disfranchisement part but says the reason for its advocacy of this nefarious scheme is that the men it seeks to disfranchise disfran-chise are aliens i c they believe certain cer-tain law is not in accordance with the provisions pro-visions of tho constitution Not because these men will not vote the Liberal ticket no perish the thought but because they are unable to change their belief whenever any obnoxious law makes the change desirable Aud this is what is left of the lot of things of which the Tribune protested its innocence in highsounding phrases In its efforts to find some charge in the platform plat-form that it can really deny it resorts to a falsehood a small one however as compared com-pared with its usual mendacity It says That declaration further charges that with Liberal supremacy would come excessive taxation official extravagance extra-vagance and laxity in public social regulations The platform does not accuse ac-cuse the Liberal party of the things it may do but of those it has already done and to the discomfiture of the Tribune the record is already bad enough The platform plat-form after charging the Liberal party with a few of the most glaring of its misdeeds mis-deeds says further that We believe the supremacy of the Liberal party means excessive ex-cessive taxation official extravagance and laxity in public social regulations And there is every reason to believe that such would be the case Liberal supremacy in Ogden brought excessive taxation official extravagance and laxity in public social regulations it brought official extravagance ex-travagance at least in Tooele and it would bo but a repetition of the former history of that part as it is the present boast of many of its members that a reproduction re-production of these scandals would follow Liberal supremacy in this city If the framers of the platform erred at all it was on the side of modesty in asserting what they believed would follow Liberal ruleThe The part of the Tributes reply which calls the framers of the platform Mormon lechers is beneath contempt and we do not notice it |
