Show A WA1I. OF HI sc mi;. Tne esteemed evening contemporary is somewhat aueient. Last evening it wasted several "stick's" full upon the 1 candidacy of Mr. Olsen for alderman from the First ward (municipal, not ecclesiastical) andjl'iiE Times, which, as usual, appeared on the streets first, contained a card from the gentleman announcing his withdrawal from the contest. Feed Leonard also, very naturally came in for mention in the same article which by tho way, is headed "mixed endorsements." Nothing worse is said about Fked, however, than the declaration declar-ation that he never came to Utah until the year of our Lord, 1888. Hut the closing sentence of the article, referring referr-ing directly to FltKD, is resonant with note of despair. It reads: "The 'liberal 'lib-eral bosses' are determined, however, to give him plenty uf future opportunity." opportun-ity." Why, of course, he will have tho opyortunity.Jand he will make a record that nobody can take exception to, But the wail of despair evinced by the esteemed contemporary! Isn't it pitiful? It is almost cruel to quote in this connection tho words: "hark from the tomb a doleful sound," but Tin; Times cannot refrain from doing so at this important period. After tho eighth day of February it will endeavor to console con-sole its neighbor to the best of its ability, abil-ity, following, of course, the election of Judge Ua.skin and tho entire liberal ticket. In the meantiino tho neighbor ' is commended by The Times for its at least tacit admission that it is engaged in righting for a lost cause. |
