Show THE GREAT FAKE How the Liberal Conference Is S Generally Viewed The Hypocrisy and Insincerity of the FOR Kcmalnlnz Toola Too Evident Evi-dent fcj Pans By One aged Luberal from Springville declared de-clared he had been a Liberal forthiityflve years That explains what I never have been able to understand Of course I knew the Liberal party came from somewhere some-where but I knew it was not American I knew It was not English I know tho Scotch never begot such an illogical affair I knew tho Dutch never made such a despotIc des-potIc thing I know Scandinavia would have flung such a monstrosity Into the Maelstrom off the coast of Norway I knew there was too much liberty In the Sandwich Sand-wich Islands to produce such a thing and I wondered many a time whore in tho name of the old Harry It did come from The aged member for Springville explains ex-plains it all Ho has been a member thirtyfive years The Liberal party has been on earth only twontytwo years a few months less But since the member mem-ber from Springville bad a preexistence and has been a member for thirtylive years the party also proexisted That is it is not a product of earth It could not have been tho offspring of heaven und consequently it is the child of perdition and was horn in the conclaves of those lair but false beings who were turned out or heaven becauso of their determination determina-tion to have all the offices and the perquisites per-quisites of government Understanding the organ of the Liberal party it Is easy to understand the unwillingness unwil-lingness of its hungry and eager members atill living to continue to thresh old straw repeat old charges gnaw old chestnuts and fight a condition that exists only in their diseased imaeinatious I am sorry for this I thought they had at last couciuded that America and American Ameri-can government was good enough for them But it seems that the party true to the atmosphere of its origiu wants to give the people 11 in the future as in the past I am sorry also becauso 1 wanted to see one of the political parties of Utah nominate nomi-nate tbat truly gooa men Powers for the dolegnteship this autumn I wanted to help elect Lim you know Why Because in an O W oration delivered by him in Panic City on the last Fourth ne said Each man in a country ruled by man himself him-self should take an active part in political affairs Each man should make his influence felt in the selection of puolic officers and in the making of public laws a Extreme partisanship is dangerous danger-ous Let every patriot nail upon the masthead the motto country before be-fore party He did not say what masthead and left his hearers to infer that perhaps ho was to nail it to his own hoed But I thought the truly good man had at last seen the errors of his many ways and had become a convert con-vert to the American idea of government But in the recent convention of the Liberal Lib-eral party he went backwards upon all ho had said on the Fourth and instead of having every man taUo an active part in the political affairs of Utah he wanted to have tho Liberals stand shoulder to shoulder shoul-der and back to back in a united determined deter-mined alldevouring effort to prevent the United States from carrying into effect the long delayed but finally seen and acknowledged acknowl-edged recognition of the rights of the people peo-ple of Utah It pains me to see a truly good young man go wrong But wasnt it awful jolly to seethe morning morn-ing Comstock Clubber set forth how the audience rose ana rose as one man until they had a bouquet of roses on every question ques-tion before the august body The Co A endeavors to rnuko it appear that tho vast audience of several hundred rose thus because be-cause of too greatness of the questions and the unanimity of the members But the real history of the convention consists of the smallness of the questions ard the unanimity ol the members and the latter was secured In advance by admitting no person who could not puss examination accept A dog collar and get a ticket Rats I All this Liberal talk is tho rottenest kind of rats If the United States should do its duty for fifteen minutes it would confront them al with the penitentiary as incendiaries I There Is no question before the country in regard to Utah The government gov-ernment said to the Mormons Put away your polygamy obey the laws of tho laud as to marriage and I have nothing more to say or do I neither know nor care what your religion is or whether you believe in one God or a thousand or whether you have one wife or fifty after tho resurrection Obey me now acknowledge acknowl-edge my supremacy here in the laws my people have made and I will grant you the same rights and the sumo protection that I extend to all sects and to till nosects The Mormons after finding that tne government gov-ernment meant business did as the nation asked them That is the situation now The next act in tho piece is for the government govern-ment to do what she agreed to do and is in honor bound to do That is let her give Utah her proper place in the Union as a state Nothing but that will be right and I every day that Utah is kept out of the Union is a day of despotism in a nation whose boast is that tyranny died when she was born and that no slave can breath beneath be-neath the stars and stripes CHARLES ELLIS I |
