to be lacerated but all and a common beaire to behold the manner in which of Ogden was o b annihilated by the of salt lake indeed it remarked the previous evening that the trib ought to print A hundred extrac and bend eboni nc rethey would beell like hot cakes they got their papers at last and turned to the editorial department which they proceeded to devour with after the pershal they looked around through the sheet aa though they bad overlooked bome thing somewhere but no matter greeted their gaze anywhere they felt as blank as did the traduce rs of timon of athens when he invited them to a banquet upon their arrival he uncovered the diabes showing them to contain only water and added to their discomfiture by say ing uncover dogs and lap there was but little if anything in he disclosures except a reiteration of what had previously appeared in the banio columns and the verdict of the majority was weak awfully weak the name of the respectable minister previously booken of proves to be kev maxwell and one james swear that was drunk when he asked the for mer to retract his assertions the tri iune volunteers the information that is getting low in through his apostasy and is seeking favor with his former brethren in this manner in order that his wonted prosperity may bo restored ret and there it rests we have always credited the editor of the tribune though holding views on almost every question diametric dia metri cally opposed to entertained by him with ability sagacity and pertinacity to say that none of these qualities appears in the discussion which he BO abruptly closed on sunday morning is to say what every one familiar with the caso know and the ungraceful retirement of that paper from the field more than half discloses the fact that it is beaten and has leally no more to say it is not the part of a skillful debater who has a strong case to conkein con tein for to announce ane question closed because he has no more to say the privilege of closing belongs of right to the af firma live or moving party and whether this rulo holds in the case of newspaper discussions or not we propose apply it because tho proprieties permit and the circumstances demand it the gravamen of the case is briefly this the aels and lion george Q cannon having affirmed that it wag decided upon in leading circles of the mormon church to present the name of george reynolds for indictment and prosecution in order that the constitutionality of the anti polygamy law of 1862 might be tested the tribune and geo maxwell jointly and uch statements aa falsehoods unsupported by a scintilla of fact we were weak enough as the tribune judges weakness to believe them intrinsically and collaterally true and decided to institute an investigation on our own account which was greatly facilitated by maxwell himself who had mentioned the name afan old Og denite in connection with hi statements an interview with the latter developed alie interesting fact that not only maxwelll maxwells Max wells statements untrue but that he had been so informed on the street in salt lake with demand that they be immediately retracted mr llor rocks furthermore considering that bis conduct as a grand room and ou lot it had been misrepresented and himself grossly slandered fult called upon to go further and alato what actually did take place in connection with the reynolds indictment his state menta exactly corroborating the hews and mr cannon and giving the lie direct to the and maxwell his disclosures to us being contradicted by the latter journal and persons at our suggestion were reduced to an affidavit and sworn to this the tribune attempts to rebut as previously shown but not even its repetitious are by the formality which constitutes a prerequisite to their assuming the character of a rebutter to sworn statements an oath following taft rule of law our and mr II orrock case have both been fully dished because nothing of equal weight appears against them but as this point would not satisfy tho public mind we waive it nod go directly io the merita of the proceed ing tc which we will devote more epame hereafter as time and the state
