Show i needs of the hour, enter upon a catu-! catu-! paign of education, cast asidi this vio- ions ptopnganda of defamation and oh-j oh-j loquy, and turu the united energies of nil our jieople to the upbuiliiing of our ! city and territory? This s'.lly. Insane j uml cuwurdly fear that the mormons I will entrap us, overcomo and oppress tit, is too weak and absurd for Americans Ameri-cans to cherish. I THK CUAIIUK OF INMNCKUITV. What a very, very old ohesmtit it is, the Triluiw's standing indictment agamst the mormon people, that they are everlastingly, incorrigibly and hopalii sly insincere in every profession profes-sion and proposition tiiat they niako. Not a day passes but the Tribune refers re-fers to tho dissolution of the people's party as a trick; that it was tho work of tho leaders; that it means ouly deception de-ception and fraud. What a groundless, ground-less, unjust, ungeneious imputation! The Tribune knows well enough, and every intelligent liberal in Utah knows, that the liberal party would be immediately imme-diately disbanded if tho signal were once given by less than a doeu men whom we could name. That is, the liberal party is held together on a very narrow U..ue, and the advocacy aud maintenance of that issue is left to the judgment of less than a dozen man, so that whenever these men say, the word the puvty will disband. That word will bo given prosently, not later in any event than next spring.and whensoever it is given, it will be just as proper aud ensible to charge the liberai party with insincerity as it is now consistent to charge the people's party with fraud for their recent disorganization. If cau be very safely alleged that in the dissolution disso-lution of the people's party mora minds were called upon for consultation and decisiou than will be the case when the liberal party shall bo dissolved. All this the Tribune knows we'll enough, aud it knows also that Uj ow n domination domina-tion amoug a certain cls-s of lihtirals is far more imperious and unqualified than anv mormon priestly rule could possibly be at tho present time. Yet it never ceases to hurl charges of fraud, hypocrisy aud priestly dictation. The ciutslion is, won't intelligent liberals in Salt Lake City grow tired of the miserable, unjust, false and un- I scrupulous aspersions of their tyrannous loud mouthed and uncocseiotalile newspaper orgau? There aro a good many iik!q iu this city who aro not owned by the Trilmite. If we aro not badly mistaltcu these men feel scandalized scandal-ized by the unremitting tirade of abuse that is thought necessary by the Tribune management to keep up the liberal party. These more sana and candid meu knoiv that while this furore serves to keep up a hostile feeling in the community, com-munity, and thus keep up tho liberal party, it also injures their business and the general prosperity of the city. Most of these more honest and candid men are willing to lit their political leaders determine the form and methods of th;ir parly action. Whenever these leaders give the word they will be glad to kuow that they can stop their disastrous dis-astrous and unseemly fight. When this comes to pass, the charge of insincerity, insin-cerity, fraud, aud such like will bo just as appropriate as are similar charges Bow aiade by the Tribune against tho people's party. All that Tins Timks desires is that our citizens shall use their best and most honest thought in this current political agitation. They cau see the national parties have come to stay; there is far more likelihood now that the republican republi-can and demooratio parties will cease to exist than that the old people's party will bereoorgauied. It is also patent to every sensible man that the people's party in its disorganization, acted just as freely, just as honestly, with no more fraud aid hypocrisy than will the JibeiHi piity wueo it coajj to Cissoluticn as if must ray looti. lijw uuch be'.ter taJ, nobler it would le ftr the Trllium aud too 11 xai f arty g?uu.ly to bet auout Uie , , r " |
