Show WI8DOM(?) FROM ADBOTT. John Q. Abbott, the carpet-bng politician, poli-tician, who distinguished himself as secretary of tho Ulntnh commission and also by an attempt to make Republican Re-publican speeches In Uintah and Carbon Car-bon counties during tho last election, has now broken Ioojq In Washington, and says: The Democrats elected their ticket by a mttjorlty that was iuslgnlflcant, compared with tho returns of 181)0. In fact It was really nut a Ucmncratlc triumph, but rather a Mormon church victory. That the statement Is a bare-faced falsehood goes without, saying. To dUprove It, It Is only necessary to state tho facts, that Roborts was mainly acratolmd In Mormon communities and received his big voto In non-Moiinon communities, that tho strongest light madu against Roberts was mado by his lellow churchmen, and that Judge R. N Uaskln, a well known and for years u radical non-Murmon, received a voto for Supremo Court Judge nearly cqtml to the Roberts voto and against Judge C. 5 Zanc, who is n gocoral f.ivorlto among tho authorities and mouthers of thc-church. It was certainly a Democratic Demo-cratic victory and nothing else. Abbott Ab-bott furthor says: Thuro Is, howover, a genoral feeling In Utali that his success Is detrimental to tho best Interests of thu State. If there Is such a "general feeling," how Is it that Roberts reculvcd Ids magnificent majority? Abbott ought to keep out of print, ill forto Is not nowspaper Interviews uny more than It is political speaking. |
