Show stand BY THE PEOPLES PARTY THE address of the territorial central committee of the people peopled 3 party which has hag been published in the chedes ds NEWS should be well considered by the voters of this territory it is plain simple and easy to be under stood it indicates the best policy for the people to pursue that is to stand by the organization which has heretofore saved utah from the chief political calamities designed to come upon her if the majority here had bad not been organized and united they would long ions ago have been under the heels of as desperate and determined a set of political adventurers ris ever plotted for place and plunder there Is no need tor for any other ether organization at present than the peoples party its principles are soch sach that they cap be endorsed and adopted by the most pronounced ed advocate of the preat great national party now in con trot troi its chief am 13 to maintain what local self government is permitted in a teri atory of the united states and contend for the full fall rights of american citizens under the national constitution it interferes with no one in regard to the great 0 quest festl ons one before the country and off offers er s ug riu restriction as to the views and attitude of its members toward Dati national oDal politics it desires the election to local office ot of such men as will represent the great majority of the i voting citizens and the general interests la ia all respects of thi this 4 territory it is ia not ecclesiastical in it its 4 sini sinia a or constitution as has been falsely pretended by its enemies it is secular and political it is opposed to no church nor does it exclude persons persona from its membership because of auy any religious or nonreligious non religious opinions or connections its methods are republican in form and democratic in spirit it is composed of the majority and is controlled by the will of the majority mao rity of its own members it is ia a lawful awful organization and is governed ao verned by lawful regulations it is open to all who will join in the laudable work ot of striving lur 0 r the full expression of the anice 0 of f gt the h e people in al all I 1 matters t that b at aff affect act their political oli it is broad and liberal diberal in principle and prompt and vigorous in action Itis it ia indeed the party of the people of what profit would it be b to divide on natI national ODaL party g grounds rounds can anybody point out any possible good that could arise from such diviS dl iOD anything that could coald be done dode outside of tle peoples party for the welfare of the inhabitants of territory can be done equally welland we believe much better inside the party if utah were clothed with thi the habali ments and authority of state there might be some show of reason for the people to take their places in such national parties as thel their opinions would lead them to join they would nave have a voice in national affairs now they have none no matter how much they may pose as republicans or democrats green backers or prohibitionists they have not a vote on any national question and so far as their local influence goes it can be of some service in inside r ide the peo peoples les party which is a local party chife while it would have no more outside than inside on national affa affairs there never was a st stronger ro n gy e instance of losing the te substance while jumping after the shadow as illustrated by th the doe in the celebrated fable thau than at to organize it a party here on national grounds and drop dropping pi ng the local party wha p alone any influence can be wiel wielded dEdi for or the maj majority arity or any political power can be gained official or otherwise it is casting my away a 2 reality in order to grasp at a botello bair e biln gm be clear to everyone who situated fuated as we are in utah division AP wr ranks would be impolitic in fact aft T the he great body of iney the voters oters gre are I 1 likely kely k ar u go together so those who age break 0 off tf foil a 1 ede issue will nothing 0 I 1 eithe ua 4 jor for 4 r anybody else wah they are in sympathy on general prin cadies but they do aa by such an excursion r give aid and comfort to the political enemy for they weakes somewhat the forces of their friends and lacour a age e and stimulate their f foes oes we e think every prudent person acquainted quain ted with the situation must see that anything which tends to divide and thus weaken the peoples party when its opponents of every faction combine against it is in reality it if not intentionally hostile to its interests and no DO one who engages in an attempt I 1 to split or splinter the party can be dedas ts true friend whatever they may think or pr oless the candidate of the peoples party Is ron hon johnt caine who has served the people ot of this tai territory earnestly and wen well we do not know of anyone no matter what may be his creed or politics who has baa sought his bis aid where it could be legitimately ilven and has sought lor for it in vain the only thing thin that his bia opponents can urge against him I 1 Is is that in matters where the inhabitants of utah arl are divid divi dede edhe he has not seconded the malignant efforts of a small minority to oppress and injure the g great reat majority majori tL any attempt to dr draw w off a portion of the t tie voters of the peoples party to any other candidate is antagonistic to the interests of the I 1 people and the territory no matter under what hat name naine or pretext it may be attempted mistakes are common in tills world of mingled truth and error nobody should be blamed for a blunder unless he persists in it to lo the injury ef himself or others but a move movement meAt to divide the peoples party when union is mo more reWan than ever a necessity becomes become more than a blunder and will sure surely y cover those who continue in such folly with mortification and defeat |
