Show I JTJDGli 0 W POTTOS The Liberal Lender Is Ripped Up the Smelt by the Liberal Organ From the Salt Lake Tribune April 7 Under the difficulty of getting all the facts our Washington correspondent must have failed to obtain all the interview inter-view between Judge Powers and the secretary of the interior Jndge Powers Pow-ers belongs to the organization called the Tuscaroras As we understand it hej j went east to represent the Liberal party in general and the Tuscaroras in particular j It is not very long since the Tuscaroras i in full session declared emphatically against statehood for Utah That has never been revoked to our knowledge I hence ice cannot understand how Judge Powers could before the secretary of the in tcrior advocate lie appointment of Caleb W West who for ticoyearspast has been in season and out of season a pronounced advocate of statehood who looks on the governorship of the territory merely mere-ly a steppingstone to the United I States Senate As between West and Lett it would have been legitimate for Judge Powers to have given his personal pieference to one or the other but speaking I I speak-ing for the Liberal party and for the ius caroras it seems to us that right there was his opportunity to explain to the secretary of the interior in a potential way why neither West nor Lett should be made governor of this territory and I when the secretary remarked as is stated in the dispatch that the Gentile Democrats should have the governor the Mormons the secretary sec-retary and tho Tuscaroras the SurveyorGeneral and when he intimated that C C Richards would receive the appointment ap-pointment of secretary it cannot be possible pos-sible that Judge Powers neglected right there to enter a protest and to explain that the secretary of the territory in the absence of the governor is the governor and that by the arrangement which the secretary of the interior proposed the Liberals were as good as shut out entirely We feel certain too that when Schroeder Schroe-der attacked Moran Judge Powers felt it a direct duty to reply and to explain that personally and in every other way Moran Mor-an was certainly the peer of Schroeder Of the dispatch as it came the Liberal party here and especially the Tuscarora branch of it are absolutely certain that Jndge Powers must have been in someway some-way unfortunately reported |
