Show THE COJILNG CO J1M0' WEALEliS. The commonwealers under Mr. Carter are moying in this direction andjust how we ought to receive them here be-C3me3 be-C3me3 a question of some importance. We have seen a good deal of this sort of thing in rather an extended professional profes-sional career. We would recommend that our people take no more notice of them than of any other well-behaved crowd of men present in our city. Let there be none of that maudlin rece -tion business these bodies have received re-ceived in Ogden and Salt Lake. Let them come and go. We do not wai t orations. victualling committeee, soliciting committees. We have not in-. in-. vitt'd tbem, so are not responsible for their entertainment, feeding or bout ing. They are welcome $o long aa thej .1 behare themselves and violate no law. They will be arrested whenever they misbehave or overstep the law should they do eo. They have a right to go where they please in this country but we, as citizens, citi-zens, are under no sort of obligation to bear the expense of their maintain-ance. maintain-ance. If we treat them civilly it is all they are entitled to ask. That Provo will do under any circumstances. It would be in very bad taste for our people to follow the examples of Ogden and Salt Lake in slobbering over them when they first came and in the end in using every effort . to shove them out of town. There is no reason why these idle men should be feasted and petted. Had they remained at home and at work, they would have had as much to eat as we have, and would be able to give far more effluent service to the cause they affect, to represent, than by thus wandering and wrangling on their way to Washington. Let the people of Provo keep cool and permit them to go on their way, indifferent to everything save their conduct while here. - We trust the good democrats of the cities and towns of Utah county will not fail to be fully prepared to meet the club organizers on the days announced an-nounced in this paper yesterday. The work to be done ie necessary and it can be made yery effective. If it is well done it will contain the promise of a sweeping victory for democracy next fall. Note carefully the date and let nothing keep you away. The foe is falsely charging that to the democracy is to be ascribed the tight times prevailing. pre-vailing. Tnere is not a word of truth in the charge. Come out to these meetings and leurn the utter falsity of the charge, learn who is responsible and what the plain remedy ie. The Standard has a mission. It is to hold the HeraH straight. It seeins to be pleased with its chosen field of labor. The Standard devotes its entire en-tire energies to the task but just how much impression it has made on the old veteran does not appear. Grover has one tireless and undaunted champion cham-pion in the west, if no more, and it is not given to papers of the Standard's order to drive the Herald from its self-assismed self-assismed duty. We admire plucs, but pluck in a good cause is altogether kvely. B. Clark Wheeler's new paper at Denver is not to be a Waite organ. It ia to be called the West and South, and is to be run in the interests of the two sections named. Bros. Wheeler and Waite were never close fiiends, and while their political and business sentiments sen-timents have drawn them together in a way.ithere has never been any tenderness tender-ness between them. The shotgun episode has left its impress upon Doth, it Beems. TriE lightnings are pb.ymg.aWit the heads of the arrogant republicans who assume to sit in judgment and condemn men for not changing the policy they themselves pursued for so many long years of public and private disaster. The De Youngs seem to have the trick of getting themselves ehot at. Kalloch called them the "bastard progeny of a prostitute" once, and got himself killed for his brutality. Caktkk is evidently preparing for the inevitable grand dance down, which iB plainly coming. Carter hasn't gathered many laurels during this war, we fear. The democracy will go into the campaign cam-paign this fall thoroughly organized and prepared to meet all comers. The fur will fly when they strike the enemy you may be sure. By the way, why are we not to have Henry Watterson at Provo for one night? It seems to us that he would unquestionably prove a drawing card. Coxet and Carter constitute a brace of arrant failures. |
