Show MR, COl'K'N BlX'CESNOn. The Herald of Sunday niorniuif con- tallied a long, editorial suggesting, in a somewhat dictatorial manner, that the Union I'aeilie ought to appoint Mr. Ruinel to the position of general freight and passenger agent of the mountain division of that road. The Tribune, of Monday morning came out and opposed the appointment of Mr. Kumel, and nominated Mr. Thomas Mulloy for tho position, at the same time giving the Herald a blow or two on the libs. This, of course, was to lie expected. Mr. Kumel, us wc understand, would represent the Mormon (dement iu the old Utah Central organization. Mr. Mulloy Is a representative Gentile. With the Herald and Tribune it is a case of Mormon vs. Gentile. The Times now steps in and asks what is the matter with Mr. J. V. Par-kery Par-kery The answer comes back from the public that he is all right.- Mr. Parker is the assistant general passenger and freight agent of tho mountain division of the Union Pacific, and since flic death of Mr. Cope he has been performing tho duties of general agent, and that, too, satisfactorily to the Union Pacific management. 1 f any successor is to be appointed to the late Mr. Cope, it will not bo either Mr. Ilumcl or Mr. Mulloy, but Mr. Parker. Mr. Parker is a practical railroad man. He is not a Mormon, not a Gentile, Gen-tile, not a Jew, but a Uniou Pacilic man first, last and nil the lime, and iu business busi-ness matters he treats Jew, Gentile and Mormon alike. Thk Times predicts that Mr. Parker will either be thelatoMr. Cope's successor, suc-cessor, or else the so-called vacancy will never bo filled. In the latter case Mr. Parker, who has been performing tho duties of general passenger and freight agent, will continue as the noting general gen-eral agent. |
