Show I A REVIEW OF A REVIEW i I I On Wednesday The Tribune reviewed I I th election returns certainly dispassionately I dispas-sionately and without any feeling or I I disposition except to state the situation I as It was presented to us The Herald I I I affects to believe that we were In a I I kind of fury which Is altogether uncalled un-called I for because we had no feeling in the matter except a natural disappointment disap-pointment that the result was not the other way But tho result ww no surprise and we do not believe that our own disappointment was o s great as that of the llernld because I the support that It gave Mr King in I the campaign was anything but enthusiastic en-thusiastic and our private belief is I I that the secret hope of our contemporary I contempo-rary was that Mr King would be defeated I de-feated We think so because of the I way it conducted the campaign and because be-cause further it is not so very long I since the Herald took upon itself the cut of reading every legislator out of I the party who Insisted l upon voting for I Judge King for Senator Hence Its out f burst yesterday that there was great fury on the part of The Tribune or anyone any-one else was simply the Invention of avery a-very coarse Tnechanlc In the business dlloi l > I Vl lr The result I did hot in lie l least surprise usQur private belief has been all the tinnc that Judge King would have been the candidate when Mr Roberts was IC certain men high In authority in the Democratic party had not deterred him from being n candidate on the promise that he should be n Senator the Idea being to give Mr Roberts a reward for what he did two years before and we know that 0 great many Democrats allover over the State felt that the election this time was due him In discussing the result we called attention to the majorities ma-jorities given him in Cache and Washington Wash-ington counties Nearly every other county in the Slate showed increased Republican gains In those counties there were IncreascdDcmocratlc voter We believe that the result In Cache was due particularly to the personal efforts of the Hon Moses Thatcher who was very pronounced In the convention con-vention in Insisting upon tho passage of the final plank In the Democratic platform We believe that he was I I equally urgent among his friends in Cache to have that vindicated A gentleman gen-tleman from one of the lower counties was In The Tribune office about a week ago and naked what the prospects were for the election The answer was I the women of Ulan vote to vindicate vindi-cate Mr Roberts Mr Hammond will be snowed under to which he replied The women in my county land it is I avery a-very strong Mormon county will vote to vindicate Mr Roberts We mention men-tion that Just to show that the result waa not anY tnplse at all The Herald says And yet this Hanna > organ knows that nearly every pqlygamjst r fn l jfuYif Vs6ite < regardless of polities was whoopIng whoop-Ing It up for Hammond because 01 the Republican threat ot an anti polygamy amendment should the State remain Democratic I the Herald means The Tribune by the Hanna organ or-gan It knows that It merely shows afresh how strained are Its own relations rela-tions with the truth when It makes that statement We defy It to name any polygamist In the State who was ever a Democrat who worked for Mr Hammond for that reason I the argument ar-gument about the amendment was used In the campaign we did not hear of it except now and then a hint in one newspaper the Provo Enquirer Surely Sure-ly The Tribune said nothing about It for the very plain reason that there Is no division In Congress regarding that particular amendment any more than there was about the exclusion of B H Roberts The sentiment of the East IB Just as hostile to polygamy as the sentiment for It Is enthusiastic In Cache and Washington counties The man who ran on the Democratic platform was forced from the very nature of hly position If not to Indorse polygamy to regret that f man sliould be excluded from Congress because of It Judge King had to Indorse the whole platform We think Mr Hammond made a great mistake that he did not cither Indorse or condemn that plank I was so prominent in the campaign that for any candidate to ignore It meant simply that he would lose the sympathy of the polygamlsts on the one sid aiul excite ex-cite the suspicion of those who were not polygamlsts But Mr Hammond did what he thought was best and he was the chief person Interested and his Idea was that to Ignore the proposition was the better way And ado not believe that the ultimate result would have been different had ho expressed himself but after some experience we have found that when there Is C case in which the public are concerned It is i hotter for candidates as well as for outsiders to be frank to give their I honest and candid opinion and heave It to tho fairminded to Judge Anything j Anthlns like an calon as a rule Is fatal C 1lle fatnl to any candidate chances The fhr plank was put in solely to catch the votes of I a certain class In this State I auc I cceded udmiraUly and there was no I pne offended at the rosuft unleauIt le I the Herald Is II 11 It plain enough that it I I I aces L through the futunj that Mr 1nG5 succeed wIHvmakciUinorerdlni i cult to elect certain ejitlcman to the Senate next winter and that Is the thought that makes the Herald so savage sav-age and unreasonable and altogether stupid for It mistakes HB own disappointment disap-pointment for the disappointment of others who at least wore not surprised at the result |
