Show A LIBERAL MARES NEST ww E APOLOGIZE to our readers for ng to the organ of slander and A liberals la in this 0 ay ity but dart accusation which appeared 0 day y mornings morning issue of that ww inquires some notice it is W that a bold and wicked n la 18 being made to win by una the means aping aing election this is charged t aft n the peopled party and also 10 hurch leaders what is obaed aa a the proof of this is seven youn young g men from eph rqn ilkew county whose tetide given ate are located in this deft eie that tha these men are an ah here h ader der a contract to remain and vote at the city election in tha it te is stated further ophene re Is ample proof at hand band that 6 y have 4 4 come here for the sole ing and that t is their act wf attention was directed to this stuff which we should probably have passed by with a smile as we do other emanations from the same source but some of the young men named feel indignant at the imputation and called upon us yesterday with an explanation it appears that three of them have in this city for some time one of them worked for dr benedict last summer another came here in april another worked here all last summer and returned to work this s summer m others who trad had nothing to do at the home of their parents because of the drying up of crops through the drouth learned there was a prospect of work in this city and came here to make a little cash which was scarce where they came from none of them are under any contract of any kind some of them may return others may remain as circumstances may determine they repudiated the idea of being under any political or other obligation and gave us the name of the person who they are certain conveyed the false information to the sheet that has li belled them that sheet says they are all children of polygamists the statement is untrue but that does not matter except that an attempt is made to cast a cloud upon them if it were a fact it would not dot affect their citizenship or their legal status in any way and they have just as bauc right to travel and change their abode as others there are other errors some of name and relationship in the article which we stoop to notice but they are all of a piece with the rest of it and with the epithets and threats it contains now we will inform these young men that if they or anhof them intend to make this city their perma dent residence they have a perfect right to do so and to exercise all the rights of residents and citizens in spite of the threats of liberals or their organ if they intend to return home when they have accomplished the object for which they came namely to provide for them selve sor others dependent upon them something wherewith to prepare for the winter they have a right to do that and will not lose their legal residence at home by their brief sojourn here we will not endorse any scheme whatever to carry an n election by unlawful methods we hope nobody professing to belong to the peo peopled plea party will attempt any such illegality we do not believe there is any occasion br hinting that they will at the same time we would not like the idea to prevail that a citizen living in any part of ef the country may not change his place of abode when he finds it advantageous to do so this is his right and no person or paper can take it from him neither has any one the right to abuse him for his change of residence nor attribute motives to him that he never entertained gumpl jumping ing at conclusions is a favorite pastime with some people who might be better employed they may jump as they will providing they do not dot light on somebody alses corns if they do it may cost them more than the jump was worth and we will remind those who are threatening with prosecution men whom they imagine intend to vote the peoples peopled ticket that there are laws against intimidation of voters as well as against other nefarious measures which it to is known are being resorted res arted to by the fae so called liberals if these young men like many transients who have been engaged here for the purpose had come to vote the liberal ticket their cause would have been just and holy in the view of the organ aforesaid A bold and wicked effort is good from those who have applauded the wholesale frauds in the republic of tooele thoele 11 the steal at ogden and other equally infamous Ll liberal beral tricks and who are encouraging the perpetration of similar political iniquities to effect party ends the organ has found another mares nest inest the discovery of mares nests with the manufacture of slander constitutes its forte we usually let it alone to its nefarious work we refer to it now simply because we think this direct charge should receive some reply neither the catbe peoples peopled party nor the church leaders are engaged in any such work as claimed by the liberal organ we would be pleased if it could be as truthfully stated that the Liberal organization is as free from any attempt or desire to carry the elections by trickery and fraud |
