Show THK TRITU OF IT. A great cry is being raised by a few disgruntled liberal otlice seekers here, whose ambitions to cat hay out of the public crib have not yet been satiated, that the possibility of a liberal defeat in the next electiou here is tending to keep out capital that is clamoring to invest in Salt Lake real estate and Salt Lake enterprises. The Tribune is particularly par-ticularly distraught, r-eca ,so the peoplo here will no longer 'need its autocratic : commands, but wiil rush to what it asserts as-serts is nio.it certain destruction if they " persist in sheathing their Babers after the battle has been fought and the light won. To try and give color of truth to its assertion, the Tribune seizes ou every bitof evidence, roievaut or irrelevant, lie the letter of some impecunious speculator who bus invested two or three hundred dollars here, devotes a column of gush to it and proceecia to execute a gaiety skirt dance over it. The fact of the whole thinft is that this country is at present suffering from a financial depression, it is wide-spread ! and circles the entire plobe; and when this is true business is dull dull everywhere. every-where. So that in times like these it is but natural that when men are iloing a losing business, they should blau-e it on aouiothiug, and in this case it il the political agitation now wacing here which must bear the brunt of the burden. Political campaigns are always injurious to business, whether they are municipal, state or national. We do not think that the continuance of the liberal party in power here until the end of time, would result in the aale of a piece of property for two dollars dol-lars if it was only worth one. We do not think that any sensible man would hesitate to invest money hero because there is a prospect of the old factions being harmonized; don't think so, because be-cause we don't believe the world is entirely en-tirely composed of foola. |
