Show AFTER HIS BROTHERS BLOOD the local republican or organ agan of tins this city ii out again 0 with its semiweekly sc mi i attack on oil lion ifon moses thatcher tho defender of every blodys character discards its skin skill till now it stands forth a howling bowling coyote barking I 1 tit at licely it is not worthy to kiss that sheet can no longer conceal its real disposition for never again will its readers believe in its hypocritical harangues about peace arid and good will 11 and hereafter when a hue tile and cry about its brothers blood may we not suspect that it is thirsting for that same it be beon began 0 on its serial tirade of abuse against t mr thatcher as a democrat c rat then it denounced him is as a i christian ristian cli it lct besieged his personal character as a ci citizen and now it comes come out with its columns full of vituperation against hirn him as an apostle and for t the lie future it threatens a cyclone of abuse not at all looked for that the nation cannot expect to 0 benefit its party in the lie least by such a course must bo be plain from the condemnation heaped upon it by republicans themselves that it lias has thrown to the four winds of heaven all con consideration for tile the church it claims to represent Is is shown by the way it contradicts the church authorities then you voil ask if by the course it now pur sues aes ues it injures its party and misrepresents its ecclesiastical leaders what is the purpose of those mali cious and unreasonable slanders to which it gives regular utterance t twice iv ice a week it is sim simply 11 ly this tile the nation is by men whose antipathy to moses thatcher amounts to a 1 monomania the editor is not so much to blame perhaps except for howing such men to control the policy of his paper and to use it for tile the gratification of their private malice men who would hesitate at nothing 13 which would affect tile the standing 0 of moses thatcher with tile the people who have lave known him so 1011 long 0 and who lionor honor him so much men who would sacrifice ther party their church their community for the purpose of venting out their si spleen i dpn on oil moses thatcher such men be it said to the credit of this community are few but they abey are busy busy with their ton tongues 6 bics tics busy with their pens trying g to blast a reputation which has been built up in the full view of this people these men have talked these things upon the streets in highways byways and in in business houses they scent to have lave but one object in life aside from brorn their personal aggrandizement b and that is to heap their calumny and abuse upon tile the head of moses thatcher long have they waited for sonic some excuse to assail this man long iong have they harbored this animosity 1 ty patiently have they nourished their ill will in our last city campaign they saw their chance behind their brothers back the they tried to poison the minds of others with their base insinuations and when at the call of hundreds of his fellow citizens lion ilon moses thatcher responded with a speech in the ogden 0 convention ven tion these political ghouls who would lay the welfare of their people upon tile the alter of personal spite hurried off to salt lake and for nine days poured misrepresentations into the cars of two distinguished guis lied Ilc lle publican churchmen until a harsh and unjustifiable letter was the result the critico criticism m in the standard could not be wondered at by any ono one who heard its editor in the logan opera house when lie made a brutal attack upon mr IT thatcher during that gent lemans absence front from the city and the sentiments benti ments found in tile the nation however dishonest and unfair are arc still less a matter of wonderment when wo we consider the men from whom that organ draws its inspiration do you ask why this aliis antipathy this malevolence on the part of these few men towards mr thatcher they have lave the same reason to dislike him that evil doers have for disliking those who uphold truth and justice mr thatcher has long advocated tile the individual freedom of the people designing men do not like this doctrine he has bas not hesitated to denounce the imposition of these tricksters trick upon the common people and for that re reason a on the masses love the man while these Ishinie lites dislike hitti him in its last issue the local republican organ refers to our recognizing izing mr ir thatcher as a leader of utah democracy and it warns us not to kay bay a word in his behalf it says 0 on n tile outset permit us to say that eliat tins is not wis wisdom dorn mr thatchers organ is ia liable to in ing a cyclone about the head of their lender leader not at till nil looked for it is true we have criticized criticised NN etith ith so anine no freedom the political acts of mr har thatcher but have never assailed liis his private character after all the venom tile the personal abuse and li bellous charges 0 which it lias has issued a against 0 ainest the gentleman at tile rate of per year it now claims that it has haa not yet assailed his private diameter character which simply means that there is still a lower depth in dis disgraceful braceful race ful conduct to which that organ is liable to descend after defending its champion with its lath sword it pits out the following on oil the other oilier hand the cold iron of a tyrannous sway in this community has been sunk deep into the souls of its people hy by a plebeian eian who ho lias has taken his fel loman by the ear and led liim hini out of office and taken liis his friends frienda gently by tile the hand to fill the vacancy the public are too painfully aware I 1 ns as to bich of these men is ia the patrician and vi bich lii cli tile plebeian ever to be deceived by tile sophistries sophis tries of the democratic organ argi 1 now we have no more personal knowledge 0 of these things 0 than the editor of tile the nation has but tile the records show us tile alie met men who have been coil in office here for fifteen y years cars past are arc in the main republicans now if mr thatcher han liand died led the offices to suit himself as the nation intimates liow low does it happen that the men who ran the county court house and all the appurtenances thereto for so many IOD long years are arc the leaders of tile the loc local al republican party bourne our neighbor agh surely never read the records or lie he would not have been beguiled into making that charge against mr thatcher these records are arc public property open to all and they show that the r 9 of cache aou county nty si since lice its braniza or at a f ril ia t tion i i 0 ill h have a v e been peter I 1 maughan fau glian wm lvin alyde 31 D II ammond and wm win goodwin were ivere any of these men seated by that cold iron of a tyrannus ty ranous way sway of which the republican 4 organ makes complaint the records show further that joel joc i ricks was count county treasurer from 1865 to 1888 a period of twenty three years we lve find the name of ricks in in the list of several times since and yet vet ou our 7 contemporary will not charge their selection to this it so bitterly arraigns tile the records show further that G lv bryan T E ricks wm budo budge e IL if II ammond an aal 1 james T II lI ammond have lave each held the office of assessor and collector the records LOT ds show that james T iiara mond ind IV W W maughan have both held the office of prosecuting attorney the records show that from 1877 1377 to 1885 james T ilam mond occupied the county recorders office with W W maughan as liis his deputy tile the records show that james T II ammond arid and IV 11 W maughan 1 0 were the county clerks between 1877 to lo 1890 1800 a period of thirteen years that while hammond was clerk maughan 0 was deputy and while maughan baughan was clerk II ammond was deputy are these the alio men of whom the nation complains as having been placed in office b by y mr That thatcher cherI if so their organ is ungrateful one of these men is president of the republican club of this city and tile the other is an ail important member of Republican the county organization it will bo be observed from the lecorps above mentioned that james T II ammond was county recorder from 1877 till 1885 biti with 11 W AV maughan as his deputy that during that 0 savie same period and for five years longer james T II ammond and nl W W nr maughan were alternately clerk and deputy clerk that within this same time these men inen were both county attorneys tor that during this identical period janies james T and liis his brother were each assessor and collector the records show us this his arid and wo we have lave heard if we are arc misinformed we ask correction that sir maughan has been city attorney besides and that sir ar has represented this county in the territorial legislature as well all within tile the timo time above specified that one of them holds a public office at tile tho present time we will not consider but mr maughan has been in the city council too and lie ho and mr Ha inmond have live both been city attorneys aj a well oa as county attorneys in the past not content avith all these years of office holding mr maughan 0 ran for mayor two yea rears rs ago ago and for tile legislature again 0 last ail august 1 lust can it bo be that th the e retirement of the these se men after holding down so many jobs for so domany i any years comprises the foundation on which our neighbor 0 his charge of tyranny let him teo reo fleet that these men have lave fat positions even yet on oil territorial boards as well as in tho the city their the ir organ should not complain because they now fill but a few offices instead of all as it once appeared we lve do not question the ability of these gentlemen to occupy even more places than they now have there long experience should certa certainly y tender render them capable wo we have nothing not liing to say pay against them as men or officers but looking ft over the records to see who had been led out of office by the ear car as the nation intimates intimate our attention was attracted by the frequent repetition of the names above mentioned it does docs appear however that a short while back a voting otin 0 majority did enter a palpable protest against 0 this centralization of power arid and authority in one or two men who may regard these public places as private property either acquired by right of adverse adver se possession or by way of an inheritance now we will ask who are these ex officials who for so many many years arrogated 0 all these public places to themselves thell selVes both political opponents of mr ir thatcher Thatch erand and neither of them can call say but that he occupied all the positions lie possibly could and fur for as long a time as a reasonable man might ask surely these men have not authorized their party organ to make this complaint for them after all tile tho years year s they were allowed to feed at the public crib surely that paper will not contend that these two men hold bold a life time lease upon all those places then why does tile the nation persist in making statements which the records contradict simply to assail mr N I 1 r thatcher Thatch cr that is all |
