Show I Both the New York Sun and the Ogden Standard will find out next year that the democratic campaign will not prove to be one defending the present administration. It will not be of defense de-fense at all. It will launch out from the shoulder and drive the good old democratic doctrines, free eilver in eluded, home to the dismayed republicans repub-licans and no word of Cleveland or his administration will be spoken. The present tariff is the first bow of promise prom-ise since the repeal of the purchasing act, and the policy of the gold bug part of the administration is not democratic but distinctly and only republican. The democracy will repudiate the entire en-tire financial policy of the administration. administra-tion. So too of the presence of British troop in Xicaraugua, and the democracy demo-cracy next year will not be bothered a great deal by the Hawaiian question, either from Queen Lil's or Mr. Cleveland's Cleve-land's point of view. The Ogden Press ia making a vigorous vig-orous onslaught upon Charley Richards Rich-ards and Governor West for removing republican office-holders. What would the Press have? Democratic administrations adminis-trations to retain republican partisans? That would be too infernally angelic. "Turn the rascals out" is the only safe rule, and be eternally satisfied that should the republicans get in the dem-cratic dem-cratic "rascals," or office-holders, will go out and not stand very much upon the order of their going, either. The action of the republican state convention in Kentucky, on Eilver, does not add to thdr chances in Utah this fall. The fact is it becomes plain and plainer day by day, that the re- t publican national party is uncbange-ably uncbange-ably opposed to free silver, or, indeed, any other sort of eilver money. The republican party of Kentucky, as of the nation, ib anti-Eilver, to all intents and purposes, The Evening Star as often means republican, when speaking of the dene o-cratic o-cratic party, as anything else. This is peculiarly the case in a paragraph of the 5th, relating to the power of Senator Sena-tor Brice in Ohio. Now, perhaps there is no people on earth who are so sorry that the convention system prevails as are the republicans of Ohio these at least, wno"train with one William Mc-Kinley. Mc-Kinley. The republicans of Illinois are poI-idly poI-idly for the gold standard. They worship wor-ship at Grover's shrine. They are welcome wel-come to our Grover, warmly welcome. The people of the west want free coinage coin-age democracy, and they mean to ilaytf lif. ilTq Vflt'B W flf Ufdgg now,' and it is clear that the republican party in all of Ub organizations is op-j op-j posed to silver now and forever. TnOBE republican papers in Utah who smell disaster this fall in this state, have perception, if they do lack sense and prudence.. Te .chances seem very good for them to get a little experience under the black shadows of defeat. We know a good many good people who will rejoice when their fear cometh. Ho department of trade or business ever prospered or advanced under Mc-Kinley Mc-Kinley tariff, and hence the republican republi-can worry oer the revival under the WilBon law. It is bad, we know, but the patriots must bear it. They are likely to see a good deal more of it be fore they are done with the matter altogether. al-together. Wk cannol see the harm in the circumstance cir-cumstance that the mills have been re-npened and wages advanced under a democratic administration. It is probably prob-ably the complexion ot the administration administra-tion which has soured the gall in the Standard's "innards." The Illinois democracy has completely com-pletely disgusted Mr. Cleveland. We are sorry for him, but he is destined to swallow many similar doses ere the next national democratic convention assembles. The Standard is battling to have the headquarters of the Short Line located at Ogden. If this keeps up we will have to enter Provo, and that will settle set-tle the hash of that ambitious village. |
