Show YESTERDAYS LESSON The new bill has been tried and has I been found wanting The result at Brigham Brig-ham City yesterday was exactly what was predicted by the DEMOCRAT and I precisely what was expected by every intelligent in-telligent person who knows anything abOut the flexibility of the Mormon conscience and the tenacity with which the leaders hold on to political power We would ask in all candor of the apologists of Apostle Edmunds who asserted that the bill was better than the Tucker measure what do you think of it now How do you like the ticket electeddo Messrs Madsen Horsley Merrill Jansen Jan-sen Graehl and the other selections made by President Taylor and named by Apostle Snow suit you better than Chase Thoma and others of their character such as would haye probably been appointed by the rebel guerilla Caleb W West How do you feel you gentlemen who used your influence to have the dangerous danger-ous appointive clause stricken from the bill What do you think of your work Is it not glorious and are you not proud of the result Of course you are The end has been attained The Mormons still hold the fort at Brigham City Not a Democrat will hold an office in that delightful de-lightful municipality and Lorenzo instead of Caleb will continue to exercise the appointing ap-pointing power Oh no The Mormons wont take the oath They are not stout enough They cant stultify themselves by repudiating the principal tenet of their religion They didnt do it did they and they wont continue doing it until there is a Republican President of the United States and a Republican Governor Gov-ernor of Utah to appoint Republicans instead in-stead of Democrats to the Territorial county and municipal offices Thats whats the matter The political power can never be wrested from the Mormons under a Democratic Administration Adminis-tration so long as Apostle Ed munds controls a Republican Senate The Democrats of Utah should pray for the election of a Republican President or a Democratic Senate Perhaps it would be better to petition the Most High in favor of the latter proposition |
