| Show A certificate OF GOOD CHARACTER tim THE organ of the so called liberal party devotes considerable space to an attack upon hon S B R thurman the occasion of this uncorking of a fresh vial of acrid tribulation is the printing in the nephi ensign of the following alleged speech of that well known advocate of democracy and liberty the peoples party is composed of the pioneers of utah and their offspring those who have bult built up this country and made it what you now see it they are men who haven have endured every hardship and trial through which mortal man is called to pass the graves of their dead mark the plains oer which they traveled wh ie journeying journe here in search oi of rest away away from the ravages and persecutions of df a relentless enemy after all this lamorand lab labor orand and suffering shall we maintain our rights or shall we surrender them thein to the enemy who true to their savage instincts are still pursuing us determined if possible to rob us of every right civil political and religious cries of well hold them forever we will vote for taxpayers men who are honest and who if elected will put the public money into the treasury instead of their own pockets after the people had made it possible to live in this country the so called liberals came stealing into our midst not only trying to steal from us our rights but in many instances stealing everything else on which they could lantheir lay their hands bands even to a whole county as they did in the case of tooele thoele county I 1 am pleased to bo be able to bbate this evening that fraud belongs exclusively to the liberal party the party whose policy has ever been trickery and deception the ball of fraud was set in rapid motion in their ranks by none other than ex governor murray who figured that 1800 liberal libera votes vote c were more than peoples votes and gave the certificate of election to the liberal candidate when I 1 think of that man I 1 view him with the utmost abhor erice and think of h him am a ai 4 among the lowest of gods c creation ro I 1 feel toward him as did old lorenzo dow toward a member of his congregation lorenzo was a minister who used to call his audience together by blowing a horn upon one occa sion when he began blowing his horn he found that it had been stuffed f full ull of soft soap and he was so enraged that lie he exclaimed in a loud aloud voice 1 I have been a minister for twenty two years but ill be cussed if I 1 cant lick the man that soaped that horn 2 after a few weeo had gone by the miti minister lster espied a rough appearing liberal looking fellow skulking around among the audience 4 after a while the fellow fello stepped up ta to the penitent bench and began to cry when asked what was the matter he replied my sin in is too great to be fori for i div given what shall I 1 do the minis mini stert spoke P 1 kindly to him asking him to confess his yin promising him that god would forgive him but ut the sinner would not be comforted have you stolen anything 1 n I 01 aked the minister I 1 0 10 worse I 1 than an that said the sinner robbed anyone asked lorenzo Ro Kobb obery aint nowhere said the penitent have you committed murder continued his questioner ah it is worse than murder turning around to his hia deal dea con he asked him to hold his coat saying I 1 have found the man who soaped my horn now I 1 say governor murray is the man who soaped goaded the horn notwithstanding the fact that this was one of the most glaring frauds ever perpetrated in a civilized country the salt lake tribune the 0 official organ of the party 0 fraud has bas never uttered one sentiment against it and its supporters have ever applauded the act and said that it was perfectly right the party of fraud has stood upon that plank ever since since that arf W the party which has worked and is working to snatch from us the god given iven principle of freedom and equal equal rights it was that beautiful specimen of humanity judge powers who robbed ebbed the citizens of salt lake city of their rights and who now promises to do the same thing with the county and is striving at the same time to rob ftp juab county of her rights we cannot vouch for the accuracy of the report but it reads nil all right and the sentiments and statements it contains will be endorsed by many thousands of the people of utah the reason why it riles the liberal 1 1 organ so mach is because it is so true the attempt of the organ to bolster up murrays Mur rays character and explain away his crime is truly pitiable its usual resort rash falsehood is the only refuge under tender which it can shelter the criminal minal here is what it states as a preliminary pr ellin to comments in keeping with the untruth what governor murray did was to certify that allen alien G campbell was the citizen who had received the greatest number of votes at that time at th that at time mr cannon was not a citizen his citizen papers were obtained without going through any of the legal requirements which the statutes make imperative in order to obtain legal papers everybody knows what murray did he certified to a lie he did it at the beck of this the liberal 94 gang 09 that ruled him he did it to seat his friend campbell whose claim to the place was a fraud the statement about mr cannons papers is utterly false he wad regularly and ana case was thrice sifted and thoroughly examined and conclusively settled by congressional authority all ali the stuff about clerks permitting aliens to become citizens whatever shred of fou foundation itt lation it may have ca cannot lindt 1 be made to apply to thi this s case again whatever an elected candidate dates political enemies might allege against him murray had bad no MO more re right to decide on the matter than had one ot of his red nosed cronies at the whisky bar bai the I 1 law aw required him to give the certificate to the person having the greatest hui number of votes lf with true bibe diberal raVy trickery he pretended that he wils to give it to the cofeen having the greatest number of votes took the defeated candidates candidate falsehood about mr cannon for a fact usurped the judicial power in violation of law and issued the certificate toa to a person who had bad not received many more hundred votes than mr cannon had bad thousands and thus defied the ta law violated his own oath of office and covered himself with falsehood and undying infamy and every person and paper that defends such crimes is accessory to them and is branded with the same nde lible mark of guilt if they had bad any sense they would be silent but the trickery brickei kei which they glory in to is ingrained in their nature and they boast of that of which ft commonly decent mind would be thoroughly ashamed mr thurmand Thur mans speech is a political harangue and some lati latitude tade is usually allowed to such deliveries but we believe he can demonstrate the truth of every sentence and need not be ashamed to have it published to the ends of the earth As for the attack upon him for his utterances we have no doubt he will regard it as a compliment the epithets of the vile are virtually encomiums and an assault from the tribune is a certificate of good character |
