Show BED-HEADED INUONSISTE -KCY. Consistency is a jewtl which tho Tribune has ever avoided wearing. Our eit'etned contemporary is need more !or "eca:t.jriug" taan anytlimg else, th dihiiogimbing ohaiaclerisiio of Red Head bpiug his inaoility to Bsealik- lor twoconseoutivo days.

A etriking illustration of the Tiilunc's ability to chango its opinion v.-as givdn on tLat November morning a t?r tho preaidei t a) election elec-tion ol 70. Red Head, a proceed republican, biid, all through 1 10 cam p:iign,bi'cij as uocom promising HaycB supvo.-Ur, and when the first Mewa was received indicating thechction of Rutherford, Bet himself to work and w;o".e a cougratuJat iry leader on tha success of tho patt. Beforo tbe nijiht wore away, and while the preep. men were tunning oS the Trtb., the tilograph brought iha-returns snowing snow-ing the victory on the eide 0! TildeD. The preos v.ai stopped, and the Hayes leader was made to give place lo one for the- hpro ol Gram mercy Park, the flop beinc iho mott sudden oa record. Half ol li3 aubdcribera to th.9 '.'ribune read a d. mocr&tlo paper that rrorn-inp, rrorn-inp, whiio ihu other half had republicanism republi-canism t icir morning's meal. Similar instances of Red Headed incoosL-it-ncy my be noted by aiy-oue aiy-oue who w;ll U'ky ili trouble to filths fil-ths Tribune for a week or two. During Dur-ing llis pait few daya the organ haa - been li.ll of gro;s and vulgar vul-gar abuse ol Governor Emery, who ha been most shamefully abused for doing what Red Head most heaitily complimented his excellancy for doing not so very long ago. We need not reproduce t:ie latest ait:oles of toe Tribune concerning Emery, becaiiBe they a:c not only Iresb in the public mind, but are being repeated daily. But we will show how our acrob&tio contemporary ueed to talk about this same gentleman. In an old copy of the Trib. we fiud the leading editorial beginning: No person can c t U3 into a quarrpl with Oovcrnor Kmury.

How itcta thut road side by eiJe with la'er flowing from the eame pen? li it weren't for the scarlet kxks H niiing an J lieitioyiuy the hue ' the c u-'tenauct, our journalistic fjllow wouli dtvdop a brilliant blush when he r- tlects upon tin unrulincsa of bis F i t-r. In tn a-rie pspr from which tbe above i- k u. wr tin-1 it ;titcd that the country id "hearUiy eu k of Grant's b!uudcri g and corrupt rule,-' a-d the distu. uiohcJ general it denounced as "tyrannic! and ui'just," as "unjustly "un-justly i;-tl.ivnj:::g tii-3 juJgrS in renderin 1 tl.t'so d ci ious" aud, ''briugii; I 1 is izotcrtuiifint ir.to c;it:-ten'.pt c;it:-ten'.pt u the ra oi the. c.v:!z-d WorlV Tho Hejialp, the other t.ty, thought proper, cot to abuse Grant, but tj reepc-ct'ully Buggcst that he had been President long enough, when on R Headed friend became fairly furious at tin disrespect to the great general, whom be lauded a) 1 ttU lower than the ar.gel?. And by-the-wa7, our diminutive friend and fault finder Holliater, at the same timo spread himself over a column or two of the Tribune (nur reuders will understand that it w;is pretty thin Htufl after it bad been made to cover ao much surface) ia personal prii0 of Grant and vulgar abuieof this journal. In tbe paper from which we have quc't-d, we find wl:a'. the editor ca'ls a " looe jointed address " eimd by this veritable Pee Wee Hollister, who ii o'.berwwe referred to in anything but complimei tiry term?. "Bread aod Butter" politician is the modt respect re-spect tul epithet applied to him. L-.tjy, Hollister baj feved Red Head aa a brother. Is it an illustration of tbe old adage about beatinc a ciuino to mk3 him lovo you ? Our venerable and geniil friend, the present poatruafter of Ogden, General Kimball, is accused of '.'voiding '.'void-ing himself of aomcBlale buncombe," and of bringing into a republican con- j vent on "a motley, riotous crowd ol! narrow-gauge roughs (Ben. Morgan)! and Mormon hoodlums." Tbe fed-; eral officers, all under the claeeiGca-tion claeeiGca-tion ol "bread and butter brigade," are charged with " confederating together to-gether to force upon the loyal citizens of Utah a second despotism which threatens t3 be aj crushing and per-potual per-potual aa the one we now groan under." It will be understood that the above quotations are all from a Bingle iseue of the Tribune. Tho same inconsie-tent inconsie-tent course baa masked tin paper for five year?, as the many gentlemen who have been alternately praised and abused, lauded and slandered in its columns can verify. |
