THE UTAH republicans are not the
only members of TIE party who are
INDUCING in quarreIs with each other.
Indeed, want of harmony seems to
be the rule everywhere instead of the
exception. They are rot ell SO
desperately mad as IN Chicago where
the factions indulge in knock downs
and Vulgar fist fights; nor are sII their
paper ouarrels quite so vicious and
personal as those conducted in the
columns OF our esteemed morning
contemporary by the contending
republicans of Salt Lake. It is not
common 10 see in the eastern journals
letters from one republican charging
other republicans with writing "a
two-column stream of dreary twsddle,
with scarcely a sentence OF truth, in
the solemn waste of stupid false
hoods" calling political brethren
'iack-Mormon iackals," ''yile in
sects," etc, as Judge Mcbride, late
chairman of toe late central com
mit.ee, does in Tuesdays Tribune.
Tn striking contrast is The harmony
that has prevailed everywhere in the
democratic ranks. There has never
been a campaign when the democracy
seemed more bent on having peace
in their conventions, than now. There
may net be unity in the ranks, butts
lack has not been manifested any
where in the party gatherings, cave
the chronic quarrel in New York.
Egen that was not permitted to dis
grace the party, nor show itself
iniuriously. Cur republican Fl ends
Would do wellto take lessons from the
democracy. and remember that IN
union is strength, I
