WHIPPING III.

Our esteemed morning contem
porary is again engaged in the delight
full past;me of trying to "whip in"
certain of the federal oficeholders
who hsve lately manifested a sufi-
cient degree OF independence TO kick
out Of tae Tribune rraces. AS a whip
perrin Of F. @. rs the ZEi5. has here
tofore been a good deal of a success,
Governor Emery being about the only
one who has persisted in remaining
recalci;rsnt through all time. Once or
twice his eXoellsney manifested signs
of weakening, and re believe came
near showing the white feather, but
as was the case with President Hayes
aSyear or SO ago, the gubernatorial
spine suddenly gained rigidity, and be
braced up Ike q man. while Red
Head laid OF the Lash. Little Hollis
ter is kicked out and whipped IN
about three times a year on an aver
age. He eczema TO like the process
exceedingly. Others among the local
representatives OF government during
the past six years have yielded when
the Ziri5. 'cat" was applied, but We
believe role Of them has licked the
hand taai chastened him WITH the
loving f0ndness manifested periodi-
cally by the internal revenue collec-
tor.
Our esteemed contemporary afore-
mentioned is now testing the virtue of
its lash upon two or three prominent
f. o. H's. who have thought proper
to side with Emery in the guberna-
toriRl fght being Waged hsre and in
Washington. The first among these
gentlemen who have dared to 60
Rgains. the organ in the Emery mat
ter is Clief Justice Hunter, at present
in Washington, putting in solid work
for the reappointment of the Cover
nor. Two OF three direct TRUSTS at
the Chief Justice have appeared in
the Tribune lat9ly, and on Sunday
morning the columns OF the paper
we're opsned to q correspondent, who
daubed the following morsels of mud
upon Hunter. We reproduce them,
70! because of any disrespect towards
the Chief Justice, nor because we be-
lieve the assertions bat merely to
show tue kind Of weapons the Tribune
employs in a fight, snd also to place
on record the dirty insults, in case
Judge Hunter should hereafter snow
spinal weakness that would make
him a supphcant for mercy at
Red Halls feet. Tie JUDGE
has, in the past, sought to curry
favor with the Tribune, and
on more than one occasion thrown
the organ a sop, in the way o! fur
nishing it with his judicial opinions to
the exclusion o. the other city papers.
The Washington correspondent re-
ferred to wr.t,s:
Mr.. Chief Justice Hunter, who seems
to be Em=ry's chief fugleman here, dis
covered cot long ago th1t there was s
little GOODNESS at the White House, and |
he yelled Justly over the telegraph wires |
10 Salt Lake City for more and stronger |
backing. The New York Tribune was
also pressed into the service by downright |
lying. Mr.. Chief Justice !
Hunter, fnding what a ninny he had
made o. himself, now tries to crawfsh on,
Of the contest, and represents that he hiss
no personal interest il the matter; Is not
pressing EmeTy's case; it would be IN
1ignifed for the Chief Justice ofthe Terri
tory Of Utah, be says, TO be engaged in
iuch business. Undignifed be BANKED
