Mr. Gould is, personally, person-ally, a very agreeable gentleman. It is not pleasant for us to say unkind things of him. But responsible gentlemen, gentle-men, just from Salt Lake, have informed in-formed us that his telegrams of late date aro atrocious and wholesale misstatements mis-statements concerning Utah and its people. Mr. Gould was recently in Omaha, and, as is his habit when passing to and fro from Salt Lake to New York, ho called at tho IJerald office, whore wo haA tho plenum ur uonsiUerablo conversation with him about the Utah situation. Mr. Gould informed us that everything was quiet and orderly in Salt Lako, and that the Gentiles there had settled down upon tho plan of "letting by-gones be by-gonce." These were his very words. But the moment he reaches Salt Lake, he uses the power of the telegraph to tell the country coun-try tho exact contrary of all this. Will Mr. Gould be kind enough to assume tho erect attitude and explain himself to this benighted and confused newspaper? news-paper? Omaha Herald. |
