The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1884-10-17

A New YORK Republican organ,
speaking of the monster procession in
that city the other day, in honor of
Cleveland, says: ITO sum it up in
word, it was a parade gotten up by
handful of men who want office, and the
crowd was simply attracted by the
torches and sky-rockets. The same
paper contains several columns of glow
Ing accounts of Blaine's hippodroming
tour of the west, telling how the trains
stopped at this station and that along
the route, and of the vast crowds as
sembIed to 'get glimpse at the Maine
statesman" In some instances the
crowds are estimated and the numbers
stated. Comparing these figures with
the census of the towns named, 1t IS
seen that the population has been
doubled, trebled and even quadrupled
since the census was taken. These
crowds were drawn together by mag
netism' and the lying Associated Pre- S
correspondents on board Blaine's train.
Your representative Republican editor
has as little regard for truth as for
consistency, and more for both than for
fairness.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1884-10-17

DOES THE HERALD mean to say that
the fathers intended to make the Con-
stitutiOn act as a protection to people
who adopt a faith which ignores the
Constitution and denies the sover-
eighty of this republic? The Constitu-
ton merely gives each man the right to
worship God according to the dictates
of his own conscience.-Orgdn of aSsdS-
sinati0qa, otherwise styled the Salt Lake
Tribune.
THE HERALD means to say that if the
fathers intentions were declared in
their discussions and shown in their
work, they intended to frame Consti-
tuition that would protect everybody
within the republic in the worship of
God in the manner that his conscience
dictated, whether or not that way was
satisfactory to the assasSins of Tennes-
see, or those who encourage them in
Salt Lake. THE HERALD means to say
that neither States, the United States
nor individuals have the right to mo-
lest any man in his worship of God, or
in his faith. THE HERALD is aware that
its ideas of the intentions of the fathers
and the declarations of the Constitu-
ton do not agree with those entertained
by its disreputable contemporary; there
would necessarily be a difference of
o linion as to these things and as to all
others, for those of The HERALD are
right and honest.

In THE light of fifteen-years of failures
in the prosecu ton of pOlygamists, not
because Of the weakness of the law, but
on account of the irregularity in the
prosecutions, and the extra-iudicial pro-
ceedings of the Courts and prosecutors,
why win Courts and prosecutors persist
in adding to the long list of failures :?
We repeat, that no progress will ever
be made in the prosecution of these of
fenses until regular, lawful and proper
methods are followed by the Courts;
any advance attained by another course
is retrogressieni a fact which Courts
should fully understand by this time.

the vari-colored autumn leaves that
