to sec Sidney Clarke beaten. Fur this
reason. weare sorry to see anything done to
divide the opposition. or to drive men to
his support who srs inclined to oppo-e
him, bot who are by no means earnest OF
fred in their determination. Itis pretty
certain tbst he cannot be beaten il every
man undertakes to force his own wbims,
hobbies. and revenges into the contest.
The course Of some of the papers that
claim to be leaders Of public opinion. is
having tendency to bring about this
very undesirable result.
Several Of the papers are very severe
IN their denuncistions OF E. j. jenkins, OF
this County. for voting against increased
representation in the State Convention
They charge tbst he sold ont to Clarke.
upon the promise Of Land Office. Now.
for oil We know. he msy or may not have
cold ont. Those who make the charge.
msy have positive proof that he did.
Bot If they only judge SO from the fact
that he opposed sn increase of represent
ation, their proof is ct fault. They are
in the habit Of charging that only
CIsrke's supporters were opposed to the
increase. The fact is, some men who are
Just as earnestly and far more honestly
opposed to Clarke. doubted the propri-
ely Of . largo Convention. or the cxtrsor-
dinary benefit that would result from it.
To denounce men as tools, or charge them
with having sold out. for no other reason
than this, sets them to thinking that per.
hsps it is about ss well to let the ma
chine be run BY Clarke as by such per.
sons as those.
The Topeka Record has its revenge to
wrsak upon tho whole batch Of State Of
icers, as we'll as Clarke: and it daily
beralds the charge that Clarke and Hsr-
vey have entered into . combination. and
that all who ere in favor of the re.pomi-
nstion Of Harvey. are in favor Of Clarke.
There may possibly be such Q combina.
tiop; but to charge that every man who
favo,s Harvey is also for Clarke. is simp-
IL an insult. There are men in favor Of
the denomination Of Harvey, who would
not touch Clarke under any considera
tious. Whenever We are .ati.6ed that
Harvey has formed ring with Clarke,
We shall drop him. But Ill are not Of
the same feeling. There are men who
arc stronger 10 their support Of Harvey
than in their opposition to Clarke. and
when they srs bullyr,gged snd forced to
take . stand. by such warfare Is the Rec
ord indulges in. they will accept Clarke
TO strengthen Harvey. We ere not sure
but that the Recod is endeavoripg to force
euch combination.
All these things have . tendency to Gre
ate dissatisfaction ard discord.. and tp ex.
pose the opposition TO the inroads Of
Clsrks's patronage and trickery.> We
msy rest assured that be is vigilantly
watching every point. prepared to take
advantage wherever opportunity offers.

USELESS Trouble Among otherthings,
the State Central Committee requires that
the Delegates 10 the State Convention
shall have the County Clerks certificate
attached to their credentials. showing the
population Of their respective Districts.
AS this is not part Of the Ckrk's official
business. there is no way to compel him
to make such certificate. unless be choos-
cs to DO so; and If he does not. tie want
of them may lead to wrsneling. Then.
it conpels Delegates in County like

to all go to the County Seat for the
Clerks Certificate. Again: there ore

version ofthe deadly assault" upon Dr.
Taggart by the "bloody myrmidons"

pliments bestowed upon the Doctor, as q
"chivalrous and honest man. But now

which, II true, compels us to substitute
a "bull pup" for the "tlires armed assas.

In the case, as usual, was one OF the
officers appointed by the u. 3. Govern
ment. The news ofthe terrible event"
was sent TO very respectable burgh
not far from Brigham City, where, Of
course, great excitement was created
among its law abiding and truly loyal
citizens at this fresh instance OF "Mor-
mon" turpitude, ferocity and disloyalty.
We are also informed on the most credi-
BILE authority, that q sensation.loving
newspaper correspondent, with whose
presence the city Ut the present time Is
unfortunately pestered, telegraphed the
particulars ofthe "horrible affair 10 the
paper he so worthily represent although
he knew It was hoax. s,tf.s
The circumstances OF the case, we are
assured, are as follows: The DrTaggart,
on whom the assassination was
attempted, was amusing himself late on
Monday evening with teasing q bull dog,
and the latter becoming furious seized
his tormentor by the hand and inflicted
rather ugly wound. Tho injured party,
being, 1t would seem, somewhat Of
practical Joker, determined to have some
iun out OF his mishap, and going into
place where several OF his friends were,
his lie had been attempted by three men
but being armed he had succeeded ip
driving them off, not, however, without
receiving wound In the hand
The story, OF course, was believed and
forawhlleth strongest Indignation was
expressed at the "outrage.p Subsequent
ly the joker explained the matter, and
saddled the wrong on the bull dog. Such
an opportunity for sensation from
Utah was too goo q to be lost, aud, as we
have already said the tidings we're sent
over the wires by parties who knew
they were lying when they sent them.
