Show IT NEEDS inspiration THE chief liberal organ in itis ite issue of january directs an exhortation to the convention of Us its party which is to nominate candidates for the offices of mayor recorder treasurer and marshal to be voted for at the ensuing eleo tion its tone is halt half and h half pleading and it exclaims in relation to the labors of the convention the liberals expect that their standard will not be lowered by their work but rather that it will be full high advanced 1 11 if the standard is to be antim abed on the basis of the bulk of the ticket already nominated its ad van cement will be an easy process the almost unanimous verdict of both parties being that the selections as a whole could not well be weaker we have already admitted that there are a few names of good fair and capable men on it but the greater part of the choice is so ao utterly unrepresentative and attenuated as to baffle any future efforts to repair the ticket the standard can be raised readily enough but the ticket Js is beyond any other kind of repair than that symbolized by mending an old garment with new cloth the rent will simply be made larger it should be remembered also that it to is not compatible with good judgment to yoke together the horse and the ass as everybody knows they do not make a good team the superior animal is likely to do some vigorous kicking being choice in relation to his company one worthless sheep will sometimes spoil a whole flock when there are several of that quality the mischief is proportionately more swift and extensive the organ has decided in advance vancel that lial in the selection of candidates for general offices no conservative serva tive man shall be given a place upon the ticket this i indicates that the idea of conciliating young utah has been abandoned by the party as ais hopeless hope leee and that it has been con eluded to run directly counter to any course that would draw to the liberal side aide any portion of the claw class so much talked about as likely to iner increase gase the strength of the opposition the organs idea of a conservative is a man who recognizes the fact that the mormons cormons Mor mons have some rights entitled to respect and if its wishes are complied with the convention will nominate dominate no DO one belonging long ing to that consistent section of the people on the other hand the apro pronounced noun ced class clam it speaks of is composed of and extremists men who have no regard for justice nor the wea weal of the commonwealth these are the men that are wanted by the organ of the opposition it will be well for the peoples party if men of that stamp are selected because such a choice would not only antagonize the whole of young utah but fill with unutterable disgust the consistent non mormon nl element composed of men who have real interests in the community and who would naturally seek to prevent the city business being turned over to a lot of hotheaded unscrupulous extremists these coolheaded cool headed men knowful know full well that injustice cannot be donie done to one part of the community without the other portion suffering from mere sympathy of interests if from no other cause it cannot be imagined that even justice would be done if this city were to be so unfortunate as lo jo let its public affairs go into the hands of a class clam of men whose career indicates that they only lack the opportunity to figuratively tread on the necks of the majority the dds position being already present the conservative non mormons cormons are as much interested in keeping such fire brands out of office as are the people against whom they have always been so pronounced we anticipate that if the rabid idea is carried out to the he end in the choice of a liberal 7 ticket the solid conservative men of the liberal party will not be seen on election day with their hair streaming in the wind and their coat tails flying in a horizontal line rushing in platoons to the polls to vote for men wh wb would if placed in power jeopardize their material interests the organ says it is possible for the convention to fix upon two or three names that will be an inspiration to the ticket 10 this appears almost in the nature 0 of an a admission that as the ticket now stands tt needs a good deal of inspiration injected ir irto into to it to make it acceptable this is correct but it is a hard joke on the selections already made to intimate that inspiration enough to have it voted for must be supplied by the addition of two or three names so far the course course of the liberals in the selection of their candidates has been in the interest of the peoples peopled party rendering the success of the latter on the loth of february next more and more certain |
