Show BE WISE IN ThOr We can tell the Liberals and we do sam fairness and frankness that the beginning of the end of their party has sot in I doesnt matter what their organ tells them to the contrary it doesnt matter what their bosses say to thom the truth is this the party is giving its final kick I wont matter what tho result of tho approaching election may be the organization is In the last stages of dissolution Only in Salt Lake and in Summit counties do tie bosses hope t make a showing in August Everywhere Every-where else tho party is little more than a memory I will not matter what Is done in the counties named The triumphs of the Democrats elsewhere and the strength I small though it may be which the Republicans will show will be so crushing t the Liberals that even the bosses will lose hope and will no longer have tho courage to put forth an effort We say thee things not for the purpose of hurting anybodys feelings nor with the view to inflicting anyone with discouragement discourage-ment but t state a plain fact in the hope that men will bo wise enough to be vi wie t governed gov-erned by it In the hope that men will open their eyes t the true situation and before it is too late will place themselves right It Is unnatural i i impossible that the Liberal party should live Whatever of a mission it may have had has been performed per-formed its work is ended there is nothing n for i t do nothing to live for nothing to hold it together I cannot create issues there being no material out of which to form them To exist it must be opposed and have something t oppose and this condition does not prevail and cannot be revived Heretofore it has fed and grown fat on its opposition to polygamy Polygamy having ceased a principal article of diet has been removed from tho Liberals It has been a sourco of Liberal strength that the Mormons have hitherto banded together as a unit in poll tics voting a one on political questions This has also been discontinued and tony the Mormons are a widely divided as to politics as other people They worship together In their churches but they do not think alike on political questions and they are certainly doing their utmost to defeat each other as t principles and parties These were the two causes which led to the formation of tho Liberal party the two things which gave that party an excuse for living and they having been removed the party cannot live on their memory nor can it exist on fighting the shadow of dead and buried issues |
