| Show cc A RAY OF PURE SUNLIGHT THE chief organ of fraud and political corruption squirms and froths frothy over the exposures of the un uli paralleled villainy perpetrated by its party managers of the campaign every attempt it makes to break the force of stubborn facts only serves to show more clearly the hideous dishonesty of the tricksters trick who by b ways that are dark are am seeking to rob the people or of their rights T that ha t conscienceless journal fairly bubbles and boils over Peb february roAry ath inoue in one of the most clumsy bungled and idiotic attempts at defense ever penned panned outside of an insane asylum it appears under the following flam beau headlines A BAY OV 0 startling exposures concerning boti fields mormon detectives jim ray bay the thief and ex convict touching letter itter from sanpete mother afraid her boy will be bb arrested efforts to obtain false I 1 1 l we take from the statement that appears paea under the chief and sub captions this abis remarkable ray of PU pure re sunlight PP some of the most interesting developments were those connected with the so called registration train alleged to have gone down the denver rio orande grande road to register voters the liberal committee has run no trains thus it is virtually admitted that trains were run doah the denver and rio blo grande western railway to register gangs of men to vote the liberal ticket the defense put up is the liberal committee ran no trains 11 then the liberal committee feels it necessary to defend itself against the charge because it has been proved beyond the possibility of being controvert ec that not only is the Libe liberal raP admission about the trains being run corrent corre bt but that hundreds of men who have no legal right to vote not being residents of this city and doubtless the bulk of them non citizens were registered by parties on that train their names are on the lists and a hundred of them have already been published the position is 19 this the liberal committee repudiate the train business they claim that they ran no trains they try to relieve themselves of the transaction logically they ought also to repudiate those who perpetrated the frauds if they did who would they excommunicate from their party As a matter of course the registrars the registration including that of the gangs of workmen on the line of the R G W who had not the qualifications of electors was all in the hands of those officers we are pleased to note that the tee are sufficiently ashamed of the railway registration scheme because it has boon been uncovered to repudiate it so far as they are concerned flow thesel the secretary of the committee can share this sentiment of injured innocence fron from any standpoint however is one of those things that no fellow can find out 11 now as has been shown the illegal railroad wholesale registration was done by the registrars four out of the five of those officers are on the liberal I ticket one of them for the office of recorder and another for assessor and collector if this shameful railroad business to is of such a character as to be thrown off by the committee why not apply this sloughing process to whoever on the liberal ticket was guilty of the gigantic political crime 7 the following is another extract from the same article the peoples party through its orans no have been demanding that the liberals deny some of the charges contained in their stinkpot stink pot oot bomb shells the denial that the liberal committee made yesterday was one that was more effective than mere words it on instated ons isted stated in prompt action nearly names were published in the herald as being bein illegally legally registered egl and an judge powers aers promptly filed e chal enges against every one and every macwil man will have to appear Th the liberal eLiberal committee and the liberal party have had nothing to do with the wrongful registration of any man and is doing all in its power to purge the registration lists the nature of this sweeping denial is intensely farcical the publication of a hundred of the many hundreds of names illegally and fraudulently placed upon the registration lists hots is in the form of challenges to the owners of the names to appear before the martita partita 8 who placed them on the lists to show cause why they should not be stricken off the true basis of the challenge is 18 or ought to be that the names were illegally regis the registrars under such a challenge are made the judges of the legality of their own acts this is hugel huge As a denial of the charges of fraud it is simply uproarious ro and worthy of the pyrotechnical genius who has manipulated the whole fraudulent liberal nis campaign again repeating the language of the article the cLi liberia Libe berall riP committee and liberal party have had nothing to do with the wrongful registration of any man and is doing all in its power to purge the tb e registration lists 11 it might have correctly added ccok of legal voters of the peoples party then if the liberal 11 committee and party have not been guilty of the wholesale fraudulent registration which has been proved beyond question why do tb they ey su sustain stai n the men w who h 0 performed it and who are named on their ticket for important offices in the municipal government the presence of the names of the registrars on the ticket convicts the committee and party of sustaining the IR G W registration frauds A mere show of virtue when they have it not is altogether too attenuated it will be observed that the headings of the tribune article index a very touching letter from a san pete mother afraid her boy will be arrested arrested we will give some of the evidences of the genuineness of this correspondence space appice precluding the practicability of its insera fc tion here in full it will probably appear later it begins thus sanpete county utah jan 1890 mr
