| Show THE TWO REPORTS contrasted CONTRASTE it trie TAR publication of an alleged allege d full stenographic report of kentucky address on the home rule rulea bill before the house committee on territories was very poor policy for the tribune J A we showed on monday evening it does not harmonize with the telegraphed report of the same speech and both of them are understood to have been made by the easme jasme hand the tribune la is in A rage this morning over its own fatuity as exposed in thib paper and with its accustomed rashness ill temper and sinuosity attempts to bluster and worm itself out of the hole it has dropped Into we showed that its stenographic and telegraphed reports differed in essential particulars and we are now told that we failed to point out any of ahw essential partle ulam well if they are wanted we will name a few and if wese are not enough we may cite ii a f few more the telegraphed report stated that tb mft smith proceeded to 0 sho show witt that utah cUtah was governed by the worst gang ay or pill geri aud aird scoundrels it alleged that khat he balled toe the federal boffl officials in utah scoundrel vampires vampire il and bloodsuckers blood suckers 11 1 I 1 the stenographic report contains none of these expressions and the inevitable conclusion Is IB that they were invented by the tribunes Tri bunOs veracious and moat accurate and honorable reporter in the united states the telegraphed report bays aye that mr smith proceeded to stain governor thomas stating that the governor crould veto bills unless hired not to that governor thomas after recommending consolidation of elections vetoed the bill to give the liberal party in salt lake an advantage thomas invented two schemes for bagging the public the first compelling every officer er to pay 6 5 for his commission and the second making the filing of bonds bond and articles of incorporation with the secretary obligatory the stenographic report does not show that the speaker proceeded to stain governor thomas ff does not charge that he was hired 12 to sign bills nor does it say that he invented a for bagging the people nor that corporations are required to file bonds with the secretary and it does not charge the governor with recommending the consolidation of elections but states the virtual facts namely wat in his bis message Gov governor einor thomas said i 1 I have received letters from eltia citizens e ns recommending that ati all elections except school elections be held on the same day as that for the election of delegate 9 the speaker then showed that 4 the legislature and every other sane man would understand that this was a recommendation in favor of the proposition the legislature took the Gove governor at his word and passed a law consolidating elections but on its being presented to td him instead of approving it as everybody expected he would boull he vetoed it forthe reason he be said that the liberals had got ready to hold an election in salt zake lake city on the ath of that month and aad that it would be an outrage to deprive them of 0 that privilege the telegraphed report stated that anac mr smith closed with a peroration demand demanding ing relief from these vamp vampires tres which would have been hung to telegraph poles or d driven A ven ou out t of any anywhere w hare else but he be said eaid the good people ot of utah could not take this eminently conservative and proper course because such action would bring down on them the blue jackets in arms arins I the stenographic report contains no such word as vampires does dot notchy may hanging people to lamp posts would be an eminently conservative and brofer proper course and says nothing about blue u ue I 1 in 11 1 1 a arms these are a few of the essential par ticul tic ulars are in which the two reports differ the evidence is offered by the exact and conscientious tribune which frequently furnishes the abo lute proofs of its own mendacity the tribune accuses tho nril of entire willingness to defend any fal falsehood od which may be spoken bespoken by any any orie olle against the federal officers of th the territory io BO nr matter iatter how untrue they may be bb now what are the facts kr krown known own to the creatures who publish this slander why that on the same day the tribunes TrO unes dis patch donta containing ining these purported charges against governor thomas was published we defended the governor and showed that they were incorrect we expressed the sentiment that it to is not good policy to say nothing of its morality to exaggerate or falsely ac cuse an opponent ja and at the same time we gave atas it as our opinion that athe the remarks made before the house corn coin cittee had bad been garbled and tinted for a purpose after the notorious fashion of tribune reports of meetings mee tinis religious and political this fairness to an AD opponent is in some thing the tribune falsifiers can neither imitate nor appreciate and the slurs they throw out this thorning orning a in order to divert attention from their own dilemma are the common resort of scurrilous cowardice now as to the remarks ab b ut 0 W powers pretended replies to mr smiths alleged remarks we said they were either not made at all or were merely buncombe we say so still in talking to the committee according to the tribunes Tribu nala report he its assumed that the terms vampires scoundrels and bloodsuckers blood suckers had been used and that mr smith had stated that corporations were obliged to file bonds with the secretary powers spoke saoko to these points and as they were not made at all the proof being the tribunes Tribu nele stenographic report then either powers did not make the remark attributed to him or if he did they were indeed merely buncombe J and the tribune twisters cannot wriggle but of this hole either it is believed by a great many people that much of the stuff that has appeared as special from washington Washingto wj has baa been manufactured in the tribune office or that we do no not t pretend to express our opinion but itis it is evident to all who read them that those effa are largely opinion factional and colored by malice and utterly unreliable as to matters of fact they are Tri bunish and part izah and can no more be depended upon than the reports published in the same paper of ef democratic or political gatherings or of a mormon religious assam assembly bly or discourse |
