Show HES ALL BROKE UP It is somewhat in the nature of cruelty to animals to call attention to the dismal and grotesque antics of the Liberal candidate candi-date yesterday in his efforts to crack a smile in tho columns of his paper at the disheartening election returns To say that poor GOODWIN is sick is to put the case mildly To be defeated by tho votes of his opponents would have been bad enough but to be repudiated by his own party was simply In his ludicrous bungling under the heading head-ing of Campaign Echoes he says the Liberal candidate was not the author of the slanders of the people here but that tho government was the author of them If the retder will restrain his mirth for a moment at this unexpected subterfuge of poor G by which he undertakes to shift the responsibility for his utterances to the Congress the President and the supreme court he will remember that the only thing we did against Mr GOODWIN was to reproduce repro-duce his exact words with thc dates trom the pages of his paper Mr GOODWIN calls the reproduction of these extracts slander and says moreover that the government is the author of them Not in all the utterances of Congressmen Presidents supreme court or nation can there be found anything to parallel the fanaticism and intolerance of those extracts from the pen of Mr GOODWJN No wonder won-der he tries to make it appear that they are not original with him Ho quotes our words that the Liberal candidate tries to make it appear that a vote for him is vote against polygamy and says with an air of injured innocence that he does not know where THE HERALD got that Well we can enlighten him as to where THE HERALD got that THE HERALD got that on page 4 of the Salt Lake Tribune of Nov 2 1S80 There on the editorial page the Tribune editor may also get that and it reads thus A vote for the Liberal candidate for Delegate is a vote for monogamy as against polygamy Mr DYER maintains that the Liberal candidate reasons like a philosopher and writes like an angel and in this particular particu-lar article there occurs a specimen of each The specimen of reasoning we have selected occurs frequently in the writings of the candidate and vitiates itself in the one little word wo have italicised All Liberals are opposed to the union of church and state and if any class of citizens belong be-long to a creed that makes the church the abject servitor of the state the members of that creed belong to an alien government govern-ment and are not fit so long as they live up to that to be called citizens of the United States Having assumed that the proper penalty for the crime of a socalled union of church and state is disfranchisement and that the Mormon creed contains suggestions sugges-tions of such a union and that the Mormons Mor-mons live up to that be concludes that they should be difranchised if all these imagined evils are real Of course it was simply heartsickness that permitted the break that follows He says THE HERALD and JVcirs take to falsehood false-hood as naturally as a duck takes to water whoppers that would paralyze decent peoople roll off their hacks as water off a ducks The simile is apparently out < < of gear and the philosophy is awry Falsehood False-hood springs from within and is not a reflection re-flection or warding off as the clumsy figure fig-ure which the defeated candidate makes no scruple to stride implies We beg to amend it by saying that the falsehoods the candidate hurls at us glance harmless as tho water that rolls from the ducks back for we are armed so strong in honesty etc We bad not thought that defeat would hurt him so nor that he would lose his head in this remarkable manner |
