Show WOODBURN NEVADA The DEMOCRAT will indulge in a little I prophesy It prophesies that William L II Woodburn the Republican candidate for Congress in Nevada will receive the t entire Mormon vote in Lincoln county amounting to between two and three hundred hun-dred and that this will be clearly shown by the official returns from that county Woodburn was the introducer of the bill II generally known as Woodburn bill hut formulated and drawn by Col Wall and other Gentile residents of this Territory 1 After its introduction the member from Nevada appeared to lose all interest in the matter and from that time onward F never raised his voice in its favor or in any manner urged the passage of that or any other measure favored oy the Joyai people 01 Utah THe DEMOCRAT has been credibly P credi-bly informed that a number of petitions from the southern portion of Idaho asking ask-ing for the passage of his or some similar I bill were sent to Mr Woodburn but so I far as is known were never presented in Congress There is scarcely room for reasonable rea-sonable doubt that Woodburn has made 1 his peace with the Mormon Church and that orders have been issued from the underground to the faithful in Lincoln county to cast their votes for him Everyone who knows Mr Woodburn is aware that ho is by no means averse to public demonstrations in which he is the central figure and his giving Salt Lako City the goby on his return to his home is strongly indicative of his desire to avoid such complications as a visit hero and a reception by the Gentile element ele-ment would involve Mr McMillan his Democratic opponent is as sound upon the Mormon question us Judge Baskin This is well known to the Church leaders hero and it is dollars to doughnuts that orders have ere this been issued to give him the immortal cinch at the polls These facts are as well and parhaps better known to the Republican I organ here than to the DEMOCRAT yet not a word or syllable of protest to his nomination or election has appeared J ap-peared in the columns of that paper It devotes upon an average a couple of columns a day to tho abuse of John Hailoy for his alleged failure to take an active part in antiMormon legislation but is silent in regard to the Republican who not only has a voice but a vote in the Lower House It is an open secret among Republicans in Nevada that Mr Woodburn is placed upon the ticket to catch tho Irish vote lie N is far more likely this time to catch the Mormon than the Celtic element He is a pet and protege of John W Mackay the millionaire and with his support on 1 tho Comstock and the Mormon vote of Lincoln county may pull through and return to Congress I If he does the DJJMOCKAT hazards its I II reputation as a prophet that his future action will demonstrate tho wisdom of I tho Mormon leaders in giving him the J preference over J II McMillan 1 I |
