The larger anti-Mormon organ, tpraklngoftheincmUra of Itaalhged Liberal rty, eayt: "At the tame time they aro fair and atralgbt men and are open to any reaaon-able reaaon-able argument or to a rtatonablo ttute-inent ttute-inent of farte et any time." Then the organ aaya In another cdl torltl, referring b) the action of n ir-tlouoflu ir-tlouoflu J.lberale who havoorganlxed a Dcuiocratlocanipalgm "1 bey aro ileoeli Ing tbein-elca or aro trying bi decelro Uio i-M.ple," Letuateolf that editor la "open to any rtauonablo argument" on thla. The avowed purpoM of -heao-cilhnl Mueral Irty la now, aud haa been for many 7"r, to dlafranchltn the Mormon voter-of Utah. Many nf the llitno-crata llitno-crata who for long havo afllllalM villi that alhiretl Liberal party hae come to the concluloii that dl-frnu-chlaement for optnlon'atakela a crime; that the opte of Utah have initio tu much progrcu lu lie of their cnemlri Hint tliey are entitled to ience and all tlie rlgbta of clilwn-thlp clilwn-thlp that tbo government guarantee guar-antee a to all oilier tecU; that It la time to ceate tho unholy atrlfe tlut haa maJo Utah a forbidden land, and 0111 tho gatie to that liillux of modern life and luduitry that will bring to Utah tho prosperity aim do-tervre. do-tervre. Knowing that thla cannot bo donebyortliruugh tlie alleged Liberal (ally that nover forgeta, never forgive, for-give, and never ad vancra, the llemo-crnta llemo-crnta have taken thla new drjeirtuto with full fulth that Iho hour haa comv to t-ul an end bj tho liatrful atrlfe of tho it- Tbey'aay all thla ontnly.

Auetber )lut to which I with to call allintion la lu connection with the following, from tho larger untl-Mor-mon organ. It aaya: "Whan tbo Mormon Chimb, through tboto who bavo authority to aiak In tbe Mormon Churvji, aunouiioj to their lioo-plelnananllmrluuve lioo-plelnananllmrluuve way thtlr belief thattbemlialonof tho lVop1e'e parly la nntaho.lt when tliey tell tlulr people In tece)tllielr place in either of Ibe graut lH.llllOMl airtloa that they may eluMtMii that henceforth Ihoy will never bo tub.

Ing to accept It to Ui true and to adluat hinge on that line,'" Let ua aupioae that the organ la tin cere lu mating thla niinounciiiient. If It la tlncire then It will lie rumlit. vnt. If It la "Killing to accept" turh rvn action of tbe Mormon church "to be true and to ailjutl thingt ou that line" at to tbo fruuchlte among the Mormon twoplr, It will not atultlfy it tclf by proclaiming In tho taiuo editor-lal editor-lal breath, aa It were, that another nnd more ImiwrUnt .jnl, tho ai tlou of llm entire Mormon churih,la a lie. In the tame editorial from which tbo above ijuoUtlon la ma le la the following: "Wo think that manytof tho Hormone) aro going Into polygamy, end Unit thou, Mini ur llio oil iolyEauil-U -till kun up tbtlr polygamous rolatluiia." If, now, the membera of the Liberal imtly aro "fair and ttralgbt uiinand are o;ien to any rtaaonable argument," they mutt N-e that their organ la ilo-toltlngthemorluh. ilo-toltlngthemorluh. If the Mormon church leadira could lie trutted In case tiny thould ray to their people "k'ou muat hunctforth voto as you phae. then they thould be truated w hen they tay to the coplo "Vou muat no longer practice lioly gam)." When, In addition, tlielaaiple retiond, "Wow III actrit your advice; wu will no longir practice iwlygaiuy , llirrn la n double rratou why the l.llieral party ahould tay "Very well, whether thla lie true or not, wearu willing to accept It to he true and to aJluit thlngaon that line," llutlfthe Liberal party la ready b make thla avowal and do thla thin.', the very llrat tlinwlll be to all "Wu give un thu old light; we will .lug no more the old tonne of hale; our cry for ilUrrancbbiemeut thall no inuro be liinrd.
