..rHE HERALD's" FIGURES.

After the startling exhibitions of men
dacity by our unesteemed morn
ing contemporary, during the past
few days, the public will be surprised
at nothing in the way of de
pragity of which it may be guilty.
However, knowing. the utter reckless
ness and shameless impudence of the
Tribune as THE HEEALO does, we confess
a degree of establishment at an article
in Tuesdays issue, concerning this pap
er's expose of the partisan methods and
unreliable character of the Associated
Press as a chronieler of political news
On Thursday morning THE HERALD
commented on press telegram pre-
tending to give the majorities in the
Congressional districts of Ohio, and
showed how the tables had been falsi-
fed. The dispatch gave the following
as the majorities:

courts would tire of such proceedings.
If anything could be accomplished oy
it, if these women could be bulldozed
or terrified by threats and inn.
prisonment, into compliance with
the wishes or demands of courts and
prosecutors, judges and district attor-
news might derive such satisfaction rs
there IS in victories over women; but
doesn'tit become wearisome and mono
tonous to these judicial gentlemen to
be invariably laughed at and defeated
by these weak girls? By this time the
courts should know that nothing is to
be gained by imprisoning women to force
them to betray their husbands into
jail. If no conFicting evidence can be
obtained except that which prison walls
brighten from polygamous wives, there
will be no convictions for polygamy. II
the plural wife is DESTROYS Of Furnishing
her husband, she will volunteer the in
formation that the court requires; if she
does not want him punished, the ter
rors of the penitentiary will prove
insufficient to set her tongue in motion.
This has been demonstrated in every
instance, and those acquainted with the
Mormon women and are familiar with
their devotion, their religious natures,
and their determination to be faithful
to their husbands, as well as to what
they sincerely believe to be right, know
how futile will be these unmanly
attempts to coerce them. You may
I'LL the iails with polygamous wives
and feed them on bread and water, and
will then find yourselves as far from
legally conyicting their husbands as
ever. In view of this fact, which e
known TO the District Attorney and the
Court, as well as to every member of
the community, is it right to keep on
sending these women to jail for con-
tempt? Is it just, is it manly, is it
generous? We think not, and SO does
every right-minded person. Itmay be
legal, though that is matter OF doubt;
but legal or otherwise, it is an exercise
of power of which no man can feel
proud; it is taking an advantage that a
man ought not to take against wo
man, no matter how de5irous he may
be to punish her husband, or how just
the infection of pains and penalties upon
the latter would be-

4 Fine Invention.

Wetake pleasure again in calling at
tention to the Standard Remington
Type writer, 4 machine for which we
predict great sales in this city. 1t Is
claimed by those who have used them
most, that with one of these writer's At
least three times as much cofrespon-
deree and other writing can be ac-
complished as can possibly be done by
an expert penman, in n given time.
This fact alone viii certainly commend
this instrument to the public. Half Il
dozen copies of letters or papers may
{ be written at the same time as easily as
one, and with less than one-third the
laberUnd expense, and in nuchpnore
attractive and slegible manner. Press
reepies of the typewriter work are made
in the usual manner, and present a
neat clear page in the copy book. The
manipulation of these machines is SO
simple that old or, young learn to Oper-
ate them al sight without instruction. T
At Louisville, Kentucky, the Standard
Remington Writer was awarded the
first premium for simplicity, ease of
manipulation, speed and durability, at
the Exposition, October 18th.

THE OHIO RETURNS.

4 At last we have the official returns
from the Ohio election. and they are ex-
trerlely interesting in view of the boasts
that the Republicans have been
making, and the wild, unreliable dis
patches sent by the Associated Press.
Fhe telegram giving the of1icialvotes as
canvassed by the Secretary of State
appears, in this issue of THE HERALD:
The figures may be accepted as reliable,
as the ASS. Press would hardly dare in
dulge in its favorite pastime of falsify-
ing them in the interests of its master,
the Republican party. The total vote
polled on the 18th Tor Secretary of
State. the highest officer elected, was
785, 81, divided as follows Re
publican, 391, 500; Democrat, $780,
275; Prohibition, 1857; Greenback,
1880 twill thus be seen that instead
of having majority. the Republicans
are in the minority just 2,113, falling
short that number of the vote of the
opposition. The Republicans have a
plurality over the Democrats of 1924.
In the light of these cold facts the
Republicans will hereafter not crow
over their o hio victory"

CIRCULAR.
To The County COMMITTEES OF THE
PEOPLES PARTY.

The Peoples Territorial Central
Committee of Utah Territory, re
spectfully call the attention OF
the several County Central Com
mittees to the necessity of taking
some active measures to secure a full
vote of the party at the election for
Delegate to Congress, on November 4th
1884.
The County Committees should meet
immediately and organize precinct com.
mittees of not less than three compe-
tent, energetic persons, with power,
where necessary, to call others to their
assistance; which committees should
superintend al matters pertaining to
the election in their respective precincts.
The precinct committee Should use its
influence to induce all persons. entitled
to the franchise to cast their ballots on
election day; also TO make arrangements
for conveyances to carry ladies and the
aged and infirm ID the polls. x G 2 z
The precinct committee should he
present. 1.-THE openingof the polls and
a majority of them remain during the
whole day. They should keep a list OF
all who vote and make notes of any
unusual or illegal proceedings. Two OF
the committee should he present at the
canvass, to witness the count as the
representatives of the candidate of the
Peoples Party, make a record of the
result and report to the County com
mittee.
As the time between now and the day
of the election is short, it is expected
that the several committees will com
mence their labors Immediately and
continue their efforts until everything
pertaining TO the election within their
jurisdiction is completed They should
see that voters are protected from
intimidation at the polls and
use all legal means to pro
tect the people in their rights
Any irregularity or proceeding detri-
mental to the rights of voters should be
Immediately reported to the County
committee, and By it 10 the Territorial

ADDRESS.
By the Peoples Territorial Central.
Committee.
To THE PEOPLE OF UTAH TERRITORY:

To THE PEOPLE or UTAH TERRITORY:
The election to be held November 4th
1884, for Delegate to the Forty-ninth
Congress, is one of unusual importance
and political significance to the people
Of Utah.
At no time since the organization OF
the Territorial government has there
existed stronger reasons for an une-
quiyocal manifestation of the full
strength and influence of the Peoples
Party. The friends of free government
find themselves to-day, as in years past,
opposed by an unscrupulous revolIi-
tionary faction composed, it is true, of
an insignificant minority of our popula-
ton, yet seeking by the establishment
Of Legislative Commission to subvert
and abolish the forms of free
government and wrest from the people
the last semblance of political liberty.
That faction whose only achievement
in the past has been to seek by mis-
representation and SANDER to blight the
fair face of Utah with q pestilence
worse than death now has the unbluSh-
ing effrontery to invoke your suffrages
for a candidate who stands upon plat
form dedicated to the proposition that
you are unworthy the boon OF suffrage.
A candidate who seeks by the vote of
his fellow citizens to obtain power to
deprive them OF the right to vote is GER
tainly an anomaly in American politics,
and the idea is peculiarly characteristic
of the minority faction in this Terri
tory.
The election OF 1892 for Delegate to
Congress was rendered conspicuous by
its being the first under the operation
of the Edmunds law, and notwithstand-
ing the Acknowledgement OF a large por-
ton of the Peoples Party, the candi-
date of that party was elected by an
almost unprecedented majority and the
opposing faction nearly demoralized
as manifested by its recent feeble effort
at reorganization.
We call your attention to the fact that
the issues are the same to-day as they
were in 1882, viz: the perpetuation of
free government in the, hands of the
majority as against the establish
ment Of the worst form of dcspotism
in the hands OF the minority
The candidate of the Peoples party has
been tried in the position and has
proved himself adequate to the dis
charge of every duty and responsibility
pertaining thereto; he was unanimously
for reelection by a regular
of the Peoples Party; it is
therefore our duty to elect him by an
increased majority in proportion at
least TO the increase Of population since
1882, and at the same time administer
again terrible rebuke to the champions
of despotism and the enemies of free
government.
By the Peoples territorial Central
john SHARP, Chairman.

Mex republican majority 80 ~ SlofU
If onewill take the trouble to make
the additions for himself he will find
that while the total of the Democratic
majorities is correctly stated, that OF
the Republicans is raised from 81, 724 to
43,5f9, an increase of IL ,795 votes. eTHF
HERALD discovered the fraud, and was
careful to verify the figures in the dis
patch. The Tribune received a manifold
copy Of the same dispatch, and was
shrewd enough to discover a
wide discrepancy between the &C
tual Republican total and that
given by the Associated Press. It's
shrewdness led it into an attempt. to
abolish the discrepancy by classifying
the figures in the dispatch. 1t added an
even 10000 votes to the Republican ma
jority in the 10Th district, making it
read 1887 instead of 1897, as it came
in the report; the Tribune also increased
the majority in the Goth district from
1895 to 2,03l, plain steal of 795 votes
But after all this Justification and doe
toring for purposes of deception, It's
mathematics was so .deplorably bad
that it failed to make acorrect showing.
The Tribune imagined that the 10, 795
votes that it had lied into the report
brought the total up to 4S, $40 given by
the Associated Press, whereas, it fell
short an even thousand, its own tetal
amounting to only $3.50, though
printed as 43 $40. All of which should
suggest to our contemporary that wher
1t undertakes to commit fraud upor
its readers, it ought to be careful not .tC
give itself away. M a
Butthe dastardly part of this scoun
drelly business in which no respectable
newspaper would engage, is the edi
tOrial in Fridays Tribune, in which il
reasserts its fraudulent figures anC
charges The HERALD with-falsifying The
telegram in order to make a pein
against the Associated Press. If thi,
isn't gall" then we don't, know tn,
meaning of the Slang. THE HERALI
was careful to print the figures as they
were autographed. and from sheet IN,
facsimile of the one that the FrJbap'
had. As verifcation of the correct
ness of the telegram as printed in FIJI
HERALD, the only two exchanges con
tanning the dispatch that have come
to hand-one Montana paper, and
the other from Nevada = print the
figures exactly as they were given in
TIE HERALD, with the exception that
each contains an apparent Topographic
cal error, but these errors are not in the
maiorities thai were falsified by the
Tribune. The same dispatch that came
20 Salt Lake, and was copied for the
local papers, was sent to Montana,
Nevada and California. So far the
Tribune is the only paper that had
the mendacity to falsify the telegram,
and it is certain to be the only paper
that will have the mendacity, the brazen
efTrontery to charge others with the
fraud Of which it stands convicted.

similar reward the exposure of the seoundrels will be
profitable to any who can place them in the hands
Of justice. a large number of persons taking
an interest in the matter, the financial aspect of the
affair being, doubtless, responsible therefor.
