Show H WHY SLUMBERING STILL? WE note with regret that the vari-colored Herald-Republican H has not yet lifted its clarion B voico either for or against the Repub- H lican state and county tickets; and H the fine old line from the fine old H TrisbT songs recurs to us. Wherefore, H the above title. H For the bright morn is breaking. H The horn of the hunter is certainly H heard on the hill, and also in the H valley. The lark from her light wing H the bright dew is shaking, and if the H Herald-Republican ever is going to Q wake uftHn defense of its party H tickets, it certainly ought to wake up H In the great state of Utah, and in H the important county of Salt Lake, H It will not bo forgotten that the Her- B aid-Republican has had a good deal of H substantial recognition from the Re- H publican party. It had a little over B five thousand dollars of recognition in B a singlo instance. The money was RH earned, of course, but that paper HB never would have had a chance to H earn it if it had not been Republican. H Of course, some conditions have B changed. The paper mentioned has H been very strong for the party when H thu party belonged to the posion H squad of the federal bunch. And its H silenoo now may by some suspicious H individuals be charged to the fact K that the said P S of the F B has been H gently but firmly removed from con- 'H trol, and ousted from possession. And S we would regret that suspicion should H obtain, because the manner of the re- B moval and the ousting was really B a little sudden and unceremonious. H The Herald-Republican has had a B good many favors at the hands of the B Republican party. That party is now B In the earnest beginning of a verj ex- B acting campaign. Thb Tribune, be ing long privileged thereto, is supporting sup-porting the claims of another party in the county. It doesn't look well for a paper to fatten off a party, and then abandon its just obligation when It can no longer control the party. The Herald-Republican ought either to fish or cut bait. And there are a good many stout Republicans in the state who don't care much which. Ogden Examiner. |
