| Show DONT BE unreasonable WE have published several accounts of df political meetings in which the speakers handled their party opponents without gloves we learn that some of our readers take exceptions to these strictures and very unreasonably blame the DESERET NEWS for the opinions lona expressed by the politicians we hope such critics are not numerous it does not follow because we give place to the views of republicans that we are attacking the democrats not that in reporting the arguments of the democrats we are assailing ing the republicans A report of a meeting is very different to an editorial article the views of the DESERET NEWS are to be found in its editorial columns As to the two parties now endeavoring to make converts from the broken ranks of the late people peoples s party we intend tend to be equally fair there is a great field before them both we wish them success in so far as they instruct the people in political science the issues of the day and the principles of either or both parties therefore we will give place in the DESK BET NEWS to fair reports of the meetings hold held by either party and we hope we shall not be under the necessity of expunging much from the remarks of the speakers because of personalities or intentional misrepresentation of their opponents but whatever we publish as the utterances of 0 political campaigners should not and must not be taken for the opinions of the NEWS nor should persons who dissent from such remarks hold us responsible for them or expect us to take up the cudgels on either side the NEWS is at present on the question of party division decidedly independent |
