Show The result of the work on the 6th constitutes a reproof of wonderful proportions pro-portions to both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hill. Had Mr. Cleveland listened to the yoice of the west and south a little on this silver question a wonderfully changed condition would have resulted. Mr. Cleveland has probably never wasted a thought on the injury he might do the party in his silver views. The party followed him loyally to defeat, de-feat, but thank God he is now out of it, and hereafter the leading issue (silver) will take its place at the head of the column. Last year Lhi threw a republican majority of sixty. This year ehe gave Able J. Evana (D.) a majority of four. Old Utah county is all riht and a shining example to her sistei counties. Take pattern by Utah county. She is really and truly the banner -democratic county. The self-f self-f Buffieiencv of tht Splatterblotch has received a dreadful blow, but perhaps to it isjdue.the republican victory in the eastern states. Who knowe? These are the days of political surprises. Thkkb are some influences in poli tic9 which even such a record as Rawlins' Raw-lins' can not successfully contend against. It does not detract from the splendid qualities of our leader, ihat they proved too much for him. It is a shame that such a man, a man who has accomplished what Rawlins has, should be beaten by the very men he has served so successfully. Yesterday was devoted principally to paying bets. It was about a stand off in this countv. The Dispatch put down one little bet on Rawlins, which It regrets exceedingly. Not on th6 score of the vastnees of the pum, but the vaetness cf the disaster represented repre-sented by his defeat. The Tribune is right about the character of the fight which will be necessary next year and the Importance Import-ance of winning it. But we will ba on an even keel for that battle. If Bait Lake county had made the campaign that Utah ccunty democrats did. Frankie would never have filled a ee;it in congress. The bad thing, after the defeat of Rawlins, is the del eat ot Wilson in West Virginia. New Youk is elirr mated hem the next presidential contest, thank heaven. The final result onjhe constitutional constitution-al convention vote is a pleasant sur prise. It is far belter th ,n it might have been. Revision is a great thing. With Utah county democratic all is not lost by a good deal. Joe. Rawlins can stand thu defeat better than Utah can. |
