No mattor how kih ho strikes, ho my depend de-pend on tho strong sympathy and iupport of tho whoie public. It will be recollected that the New York Herald discovered and published the Giluian affidavit against District Attorney Howard, and gave some credence to its statements. It now retracts its suspicitns and accepts Howards view, that the attempt to misrepresent him "had ilt iise in Mormon quarters, and was intended, to procure his removal in disgrace." As is woll known, Yue tight between "Gihuau, my dear boy," and Howard is ne nilur of the Salt Lake Herald's, which ' invests nothing m either of tho parties to the quarrel. For some Muse these two great friends and cronies fell out, and the vlei;si tuJt-9 of political li:"o, brought about by tha strinjeucy of Hayes' ciril service ser-vice reform, led to a combination a.zainst Marshal Nelson and District Attorney Howard, the purpose ol which was to secure their positions. QJaiaa happened to be one of the pirtie e:u ployed, or whu volunteercvt to furnish evidence in the internet of the applicant for Howard's plice. the character of which Hie public is familiar with. Gt1. man's affidavit speaks for itself, and without corroborative cor-roborative evidence must be judged oa its own merits and by the ch r-acter r-acter and reputation of the man wh-made wh-made it. The Hkiiald has never claimed to plac implicit fiiui in Gilruan's statements, but has published pub-lished the deU:!s of the coatrov.-y, ia which he is simply witne? against Howard, and other parties the principals, as it is a fight of the outs against the ins. j District Attorney Howard lost his' haai ani p'ayeJ the fool ia this case, j however, when in connection with , T - ' .7 : -TT!

Tiiis, we hope, will ba undertaken under-taken by the propor authorities at Washington, for as tho rmttor now stands District Attorney Howard fails tn possess the confidence of the people, peo-ple, and will bo apt lo be regarded hereafter as an obstacle rather than an aid to tho promotion of justico and tho execution of tho Jaw. |
