| Show THE WEST ADDRESS AGAIN ix IN our last issue we treated on the infamy of 0 W powers in using the bishop west bogus address as aa a campaign document at chicago we necessarily in this connection presented some details of the character of the fraudulent discourse and its ita origin in making this explanation the fact of its having originated with the salt take lake tribune in the column of which it appeared on march 1884 was mentioned by that paper it was at the time thus introduced stenographical graphical report of bishop bests harangue in the juab schoolhouse sunday march ath 1884 report ed for the salt lake tribune in a lengthy editorial article lim in the same issue of that journal the writer pretended with double dyed deceit to believe the address to be genuine that article begins thus today we print a verbatim report of an address delivered by bishop west went of juab as forwarded by a friend fl yesterday we gave an idea of the murderous character of the statements embodied in this fraudulent discourse our leading object in treating upon the theme was to show the villainy of tuscarora powers slid and his gang in using the vile antl anti 1 I mormon PP forgery at chicago but incidentally exhibited the rascality of the originators of the wicked slander upon a whole people here is the characteristic reply of the paper referred to in this morning issue again the deseret emeret news has the in famous mendacity to sat say that the bishop west red hot address was evidently manufactured in the office of the SALT LAKE Tia TRIBUNE muNE 1 and again we must brand braid the editor of the news as aa a liar without stint and A a scoundrel without conscience the fam fad is as we have stated constantly that address was sent to this office as aa a communication and pur purported arted to be a report of an address actually v delivered in juab when we found this thia was not so we promptly stated the fact fac and at the same time quoted sentiments so BO identical in admittedly genuine mormon discourses that the public could easily see we were not much at fault in abing the bogus address it is quite inelegant and vulgar to say we must brand the editor of the NEWS as a liar without stint and a scoundrel without conscience we have no desire to make use of such un gentlemanly language toward the editor tit of the tribune it is in not compatible comestible with anything but low breeding breading and degraded taste but even if we had any desire to indulge in language the u use se of amounts to ael kabase ment of the person who resorts to it it would be quite unnecessary we only need toj facts and that of course at once pl vidual on 11 the other side of i in the category in which he erroneously lists the editor of this thi a al we still assort assert that the bishop west address was evidently manufactured in the tribune office here is one point in evidence while we belive the tribune people ta be capable of the bogus address al dress forgery we have no idea that they are idiots if they were really imposed dpn and believed that the clumsy and brutal address which we have not space to reproduce iu the issue of today too ay was real the i bocy theory would be forced upon us afoa if ou the other hand the bogus dise disc urie uree was published while those who gave it publicity believed as they must have publicity dole OLO that it was a forgery the matter of it being formula fOrMU ISM Wd in the tribune T office or not is in as broad as it la Is lung long the crime is in no greater one way or the other even if the evidence of the monstrous concoction having been formulated in the tribune office could by any meat s be set alivie the forgery would nt m t be very far from its sanctum seeing that accordi accord g to the admission of the editor it was f r warded to him by a friend that la is to say a 1 of the tribune manufactured the address and that paper adopted it by giving it publicity the the editor of our wrathful and unprincipled n further commits himself by r saying we were not so much at fault in using the bogus address the basis of justification for being a party to a forgery and slander after it not before the fact is that when the explanation of the tribune being imposed upon was made it quoted sentiments so identical in admittedly genuine mormon discourses y so BO as to show it was not much at fault in using the bishop west fraud fraudulent u lent sermon it is now in order to show what is tt tie e character of the ideas ot of the tribune editor in relation to identity of sentiments when pretending to quote unto genuine mormon il in n giving the proof we will go outside the mormon people and introduce a correspondence from a gentile which appeared in the NEWS a year and a half ago SALT LAKE anarchists THEY HOLD UP SACRED SACKED SUBJECTS TO BRUTAL RIDICULE editor dearee newn new in this mornings tribune I 1 notice what purports to be a report of yesterdays services in the tabernacle that a nes newspaper paper published by christians should describe the communion service of any church in the following words is some sorn bing that will astonish even atheists here are the words of the tribune report brother penrose offered prayer after which the choir sang after which a score ot of flunkeys flun keys fed and watered the animals 0 if theres there is in this broad land a christian who endorses such a presentation of the communion service of any church then in truth christianity is a failure the report further says he told the tory story of adam and the apple and how eve and the moccasin snake beguiled the f father ather of mankind into contracting an attack of the colic then he described the death of abel and how cain wal lopped the stuffing out of him with a club cain was a brute and thus the sermon went I 1 this is in just how johan most and mrs parson the anarchists describe the tame came biblical incident when ridiculing christianity and the bible the tribune may suppose that such language as this reviles mormonism alone in that it is mistaken it is an attack on all religion itis it is an outrage on the sacred beliefs of the vast majority of american people eople this is just juat how the bible is handled bandied in the slums of all large citi eaby esby the communists of paris by the red socialists socialist a of berlin by the anarchists of chicago and by as I 1 see now alleged christians of salt halt lake city being a stranger astringer in the city and having attended yesterdays services in the tabernacle acte I 1 cannot help repudiating as a christ christian lan such foul and villainous presentations of the most important sacrament of the bible heaven help the country which depends on such a source for patriotism and for sanctification and evangelization eliza tion what isay STRANGER SALT LAKE CITY dec 11 thus in its attempt at justification for being a party to an outrageous slander upon a whole community the tribune practically commits a double crime by basing its plea of extenuation upon its publication hu hundreds nd reds ot of times repeated ted of distortions and fabrications under the pretense pret enaa that they were quotations from mormon sermons I 1 we have morer more outside proof of this species of anti mormon P infamy salted away but the above will suffice for the present |
