Show ARE NOT the provo enquirer hae has been musing over our editorial inviting the mckinley 1 itee of utah to come back to the fold ol 01 1 0 trae true republicanism we reproduce its U comments coin menta 1 A jl few days ago we noted that the OGDEN was on its way back to the ke its ican party and we invited the salt bait W bubl lake ake tribune back as well TUB tits STANDARD replied blat we took rather a lofta position posia posta and argued that it and th the a tribune had never left the republican party the inquirer it aid said will have to do the coming in back business fast last year in utah there were about two national tickets in the field republican and democratic we supported the ke re publican ticket while the tribune and STANDARD very foolishly supported the democratic ticket if we have to ileaine come back to the position of 0 Tat STANDARD and tribune then we will all support the democratic ticket now that so we are not very technical about the terms of unity but we would like to see the republican party of utah i united once i more if the allver republicans would have made half the effort to jnue with I 1 the ho republican party that they have made to fuse fase with the democrats the republican party would be in fair fighting condition for the tall fall campaign the dividing line between the arconi lican factions of utah today ie is that mentioned in the bez beginning inning of this article une one ela wing thought it coal could id support the national democratic ticket and still remain true to the party in to the state it was proven in utah as s it has

cleveland during his t twelve wel ve years of lordly away sway over the democratic party and bis his eight years of service as president toe the democrats then eaid said they bad faith in their party ultimately doing justice to silver bod and furthermore they declared there waa was more to national government than the money que question stion many a silver man i in a utah in the past eighteen months has remained a firm believer in the greet body of american citizenship that makes up the republican pany party solving the silver qu question estiva satisfactorily to the fondest hopes
