Show WHERE IT HURTS. Wk No one doubts the fltne&ff of Col. Ferry for WM Governor, or of Judge Hiles for Congress, or, SM for that matter, the fitness of any candidate iH named by the new party convention. But the j nominations will not bo a strong Incentive for IH young Utah to take kindly to the new movement. jH It Is a direct notice to them that the object is to 'Hsfl defeat certain candidates L'ecauge they are Mor- jH mons. There are a great many young Mormons Hsfl who do not like church rule; who, could the mat- . jH ter be left to a vote of the people, would vote all jH right, but with those men blood is thicker than jH water. Many a man roared In the Catholic jH church has fallen from grace. But let any per- H son assail tho church in their presence and he 9H will have a fight on his hands in a minute, It Is H clear that Judge Hiles was nominated with no ex- H paotation of being elected, but to take votes H enough away from Mr. Howall to elsct Judge Pow- H ers. That fact will probably embitter every fl friend and rolativo of Mb. Hawellg for life. It Is WM the same way with every candidate named, ann H if tha result should be to cause a revulsion which H would carry Utah for Parker and Davis, It would H be almost a crime. H But wa believe this very purpose was in the H mind of fcha man. wiho precipitated this movement, M He has never liked the President since he re- H fused to summarily remove Postmaster Thomas jH without a hearing, over since the President In- H slsted that Perry Heath should get off the na- H H tional Republican committee. For the calamity HR that the defeat of the Republican ticket would Hk be to Utah, he cares not one cent. Ills undlsci- H plined soul reasons only to suit his Own desires, H to carry his own points. He reasons that he is H under no obligations to the party, that what he H has obtained in the way of honors, he obtained HK through his own skill and exertions, and the Kf chances are ten to one that in his selfishness he H has reasoned out that he has been badly used, to HX he turned down after ail the work that he has Hn done for his friends. H Hence every Republican should keep in mind H that a vote cast for any nominee of the American H party is in truth a vote cast for the Democrat who H frolds a corresponding nomination on the Demo- H cratic ticket If it is for Judge Hiles, it really is H for Judge Powers, if for Colonel Ferry it is a vote Hj for Mr. Moyle. In the meantime the chances for H the state going for the Republican electors, are HB jeopardized, for in his zeal the angered voter will H not half the time care which heading is on the H ticket. he votes for, he will be thinking of nothing HH except to defeat the local Republican ticket. HB It is a time for Republicans to close up their H ranks and to move steadily upon both the old reg- H ulars of the Democracy and upon the volunteers fl who, under a new flag, have come upon the field M as the allies of the Demooracy. The wrongfulness H of springing this new party on the eve of election IB grows more and more apparent every day. HH When Messrs. Fairbanks and Dolliver reach H Salt Lake, the people may expect-to see two very H splendid men. Senator Fairbanks is a kindly, genial man there is not a bit of the iceherg about him, and he is a fine speaker. Senator Dolliver Dolli-ver is the foremost campaign orator in the nation. Heisamassiveman and can make a dozen speeches in a day and not onoe repeat himself. He has a fund of humor in his .soul and when he comes down to soiid reasoning it is an anvil chorus all through. Salt Lake people of all political persuasions persua-sions will do themselves honor by honoring them. They are both American products of the rarest variety, it is a pleasure to meet and hear them. Fairbanks is as tall as was Lincoln, Dolliver is as deep and broad as Oliver P. Morton. They are good men to meet. |
