Show MOSES THATCHER. The Enquirer Bays: Hon. Moses Thatcher is too sick a man to go to the senate if democrats do get the legislature. He is a decoy for some other democrat, and it has been whispered to us by a prominent politician of this county, that Judge O. W, Powers will likely be the one in w hoBe favor Mr. Thatcher will resign. re-sign. The foregoing is another instance of the Enquirer's aping the Tribune, as almost that exact language was used by the latter paper. But little attention atten-tion was paid to the Tribune's dastardly charge that Hon. Moses Thatcher is merely a "decoy" to catch democratic demo-cratic votes, oecause every one knows that the Tiibune is a despicable ecrub. The Enquirer's implication is, that the neerlesa Moses Thatcher is truiltv of peifidy and double dealing in permitting per-mitting his name to be used as a do coy ; is guilty of gross and inexcusable deepption and duplicity. We will leave the creature that would make such a charge, or worse still to get its depraved inspiration from such a sheet as the Salt Lake Tribune, to the just execrati&n of all decent people. However, we will say, that the people had better, yes, a thousand times better, strew their vofa, a mantle of loye and confidehf kjKjr the stif-feneJ stif-feneJ form of the peefleBaad, 'f that were really Moses fbatcher's condition, than to honor any of his living riyals with a single vote. And in Baying this we do, not exempt the man, who, if the J ..i ...t ,. . il"Ti-'iHfcVramniwh.iiTaiawTgm,jirTi republicans are successful, may gain the "consent" of his superiors to serve the people in the U, S. senate. |
