Show AN INSOLENT BUMP. Taking advantage of the absence, in the interest of the Liberal candidate, of the more prominent mombers of the democratic club, the rump met and resolved re-solved to catechise Judge Goodwin with regard to his views on the Lodge bill. Not satisfied with the Liberal platform framed by democrats and ret publicans alike, not content with the knowledge that the delegate from Utah had no vote nor voice upon the measure indicated, this insolent rump tries to drag a foreign issuo into the campaign at the eleventh hour for no other purpose pur-pose than to find a pretense for stabbing stab-bing the nominee in the back. Let it be known, to all men that a like conununication was addressed to Delegate Dele-gate Caiae in order to make the pretense pre-tense more plausible and palatable. What will respectable democrats think of a clique that treats with the church nominee in the name of their party T Let it be likewise known to all men that the reputable members of the democratic club repudiate the action of the rump with contempt and disgust. Ex-Marshal Dyor was appointed one of the committee to wait on Judge Goodwin Good-win and his indignation thereat knew no bounds. When the paper was handed to the Liberal candidate on Saturday morning as the train pulled in Col. Lett, the president of the club, and Governor West, the vice-president, were present, but the committee sneaked by and ignored them knowing well the sentiments senti-ments of the highest oflloers of their organization. or-ganization. ' Why was this resolution not offered earlier in the'' camgalgn? Because the Boreheads would have been sat upon with a loud sickening thud. They had to wait till the leaders of the party and heads of the club were out of town doing yoemen service for the Liberal Candida to before they could take snap judgment. When The Times first and alone commented on the insolent action of the rump thore was a flutter' of excitement excite-ment in its ranks. A committee called at this office and denied the accuracy of The Times' information. The committee com-mittee was ashamed as it had every right to be. Shame on every member guilty of this treason. Let us see. Resolution or no resolution resolu-tion the soreheads would have stabbed the rLiberal candidate anyway. As it is, the true domocrats will make extra efforts to repudiate the action of the rump and purge themselves at the polls of any suspicion of sympathy with it. Liberals, whether democrats or republicans, re-publicans, turn out as one man and prove your loyalty to the Liberal cause and candidate. |
