Show Ii, WAk Ogdert i&cis ThanKfttl Thanksgiving camo liko a benediction to the I wairing elements here. Tho saint who "wants 1 1 Brother Smoot because -it is the will of God;" the I f ' "Mormon eater" who does not want him for the 'ft same reason; the politician who would or would not see him elected (even as he has been ordained j and set apart) according as to whether his election uj or rejection would bring joy or discomfiture to the if opposite camp; the disgruntled Democrat, the hi- ' ' larious Republican, saint, sinner, Jew, Greek, Mor- t man, Gentile, Mahommedan, et al., laid aside for the time their weapons of warfare, their hates and i fears, hopes and prejudices. Joys and sorrows and :, joined in genuine old-fashioned Thanksgiving ' cheer, rejoicing over the frames of vanished tur- key, cranberry sauce, in this (unprecedented era j of (Republican) prosperity, which like the dews of 1 I p heaven has fallen upon the just and unjust. Not I ,,. even the sage-like conclusions and well-ordered investigation of Col. George B. Squires (Auditor h H ? Tingey's other and wiser. self) into the affairs of K jH the country caused a ripple in this placid sea of H m r content and happiness, so that your correspondent H w instead of attempting to write by his own hand H m I has simply gathered a few olographic Thanksgiv- B m ing warbles from a few of our many worshipers B HI and submit them in a condensed form without B M comment. B'tl li Vfl I" t Father Cushnahan That his patient toil has Bjfj jjj i reared such a magnificent structure of worship. Hlf M t That his long and intelligent self sacrifice has Hi jl I wrought such glorious results. That whatever else Bk ' V niay happen he has erected a monument to his H m memory as enduring as the granite hills, which HI w i speaks of devotion to the cause of the Master HR if , unselfishness and a loving self-sacrifice, rare in this Bi f j ,' selfish old world and in his joy all Mormons, BI U i ' Gentiles, Jews, Greeks and some lattter-day heath- Hljfl ; en are partakers. B m V B jnJ - Abbott R. Heyvood That ho has succeeded in B f killing himself so dead politically that even his Hf m ' I political enemies and personal foes Cannot (if they IM I would) again resurrect his inanimate corpse and IjH J s place him before the people as a candidate for an m 1 1 elective office. We rather guess that Abbott does jt iij 'not rejoice alone. j 1 2 1 A. B. Hayes That T. K. is still the "hull thing" art P in Washington and will be for ninety days or so 1 l (until tho coming of Reed), and in the meantime fij Xu the warlike Colonel has several rods up and like j J Lj the great philosopher is trying to coax the lighting j J nj from tho political clouds which will render him ! 3 lul safe hereafter from the wiles and plottings of the I! f, treacherous Weber county politicians who are f tl hankering for his scalp. "There are others" who t lH f? hope his kite will reach the desired height to catch Hrifti II' th0 bolt- K 11 i lEMUl 4 Your Uncle Bill Glasmann That the new press Bui f works like it was "oiled." That the "Senatorial B&lffi ml mansion" is nearing completion and that while B ft m W e may l)0 a few thousand "shy" in what is needed H M ffljl for a complete "fix up;" that only a short two years Bfriii if hence there are five places on the Weber county Kil'lfj 5 Legislative ticket looking for candidates; and the BI n n Senator will be a candidate to succeed himself. B III Just imalne William pasting in his hat the num- H&jlll If Dor and amount of Silver King dividends "be- Kfjfij M chune" this and that and you will appreciate why H'Jll H US eye twinkles so merrily and the bald spot on Hi W F tlie top of ls nead Dlusnes when you speak of his H$ii 0 prosperity. IKf j m & President Shurtliff That Weber stake is in so Hflw H prosperous a condition that there is no schism in nHH th0 "ICIrk'" "Weberwards." That tithes and all HMlwiK other evidences of fealty are regularly forthconi- IHAlSiln ns and tbat as yet tlie Sllver KinS magnate has 11 shown no disposition to curtail expenses or cut HsjB down, his payroll. Municipal Judge Howell That the city election elec-tion doesn't come this year; that he has a full year to repair his fences and 'give the people time to forget; that youth hot headedness, evil associations, associa-tions, bad advice and natural imbecility can all be pleaded in his behalf. A. S. Condon That of the very many Senatorial candidates to whom he pledged his vote only two possibly only one (that's what makes him grin) may demand a fulfillment of the pledge. That while he may be deserted by the "Weber county push" in his soaring ambition, he still has a loyal henchman in the legal luminary who shines with such brilliancy in the Attorney-General's office great is Condon, loyal is White. Charley Hollingsworth That while he may work for nothing the coming term, the "freight is paid" and the future may enable him to "even up" if not in dollars at least in good offices and return re-turn compliments to his "friends." Dave Mattson That it only cost him half as much as it did Charley; that he has his old position posi-tion same salary that he is young yet; that he is by no means disqualified and may strike a year when it 'comes cheaper." Grin and bear it, Dave! John D. Murphy and George M. Hanson That with all their hard bumps, misfortunes and the chill of defeat, the enmity of Bill, and that despite the fact that District-Attorneyship and postofllce persimmon are beyond the reach of their pole, they are still remembered by Senator Kearns. " 'Tis sweet to be remembered." |
