Show STK'lil.MI TO I A1.SKIIOOH. When tlio Herald sball gel tiround to aoknowledgetaont that it lus btwti par-itccps par-itccps nriminu with Kentucky Smith in foisting upijU. the public lies mnilo out . - niiiilrflsiUirwl.ie.Hi-. --fTtff 'frea of the .secretary of this territory, Thk Times suggests thnt it will go far enough to state an historical fact. The fee for commission of elective officers was enacted by a people's patty, i. e., mormon legislature in 1HHH; it was approved ap-proved by Govornor West, nu appointee ap-pointee of President ( li vulamj, and tit thut time the secretary of the territory terri-tory was. likewise, an appointee of tho chief magistrate. The Times also suggests that the Herald should explain how it was that sx-Governor West, who was in Wash-.ngton Wash-.ngton when Kentucky SMITH lied about tho secretary's fees, didu't eerrtOt hitu at least before Kentucky revised his report for publication, or at least before he flopped over once more, which he did in the columns of the morning "democratic" "demo-cratic" contemporary several days ago. Is the ex-governor's memory deplorably defective, or doos he act upon the assumption of some people, that "a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth!'" The Times has effectually shown up Kentucky Smith Id his true light by evidence most conclusive. It does not, however, believe that the lleraid will aver make auy correction of tho gross alsehoods that have appeared in its columns through, promptiugs from creatures like Kentucky Smith, for it anticipates that that paper will follow up its old time policy through implication, implica-tion, assertion, or both, iu expression of a seuiiment of one who must have been at least nearly related to the father of lies, "A lie well stuck to is as good as tho truth." |
