Some of the Republican organs, with not
sense enough to be anything but organs,
looking around for some explanation of
the defeat of their candidate. and seeing
the little Prohibition party standing near,
pomce furously upon it, and proceed to
belabor it, after the most approved fashion,
threatening. meanwhile, most terrible
things for the future. This is cowardly.
II the Republican party wants to pitch into
anybody, why don't they take somebody
nearer their size9 There is that great. big,
impudent. nnwashed Democratic party,
strutting about and Dragging I'VE licked
EN-" Why don't the r. p. take it ont of
the ID. p. instead of the little p. p?
The organs aforesaid seem to have an
idea that the Prohibition voter somehow is
the bought-and- d-paid-for property of the
Republican party, and that, in voting to
suit himself, he has been guilty of the vileSt
treason They assume that if st. John had
not been in the field their candidate would
have been elected by the votes that went
they fool themselves We know somewhat
of the spirit of the Prohibitionsts The
actual candidacy of St. John was more to
give the party a chance to stand up and be
counted. than with any hope of electing him;
but the party was there all the time, candi-
date or no candidate, and the one idea was
that the old party methods and candidates
were not satisfactory to them and would not
receive their support. The 20, 600 Prolibi-
ton votes of New York represented that
many men who would have voted for
neither Blaine nor Cleveland. They were
not Republican votes or Democratic votes,
but Prohibition votes-Stuck in the mud,
perhaps-but if they had not been stuck
where they were they would have been
stuck nowhere. Whether the Prohibition
lists did wisely by voting for St John in
stead of one or the other of the old party
candidates is proper subject for argument,
although rather late to help the case this
year; but the abuse heaped upon them by
the party organs, ranking under the sting
of defeat, and the spirit manifested, savors
more of the days of the inquisiton than of
this free and enlightened nineteenth
century. The fact that the abuse is so
freely resorted to- rather tends to show
that there are no arguments to he found.
Such a bad lot as the Prohbitionists are,
according to the organs aforesaid, will
hardly be wanted in the Republican ranks
any more, and probably the grand old par
ty is well rid of them.

Republican Frauds.

The Salt Lake Tribune of April
23d contains what purports to be
the proceedings of "mass conven-
ton" of the Republican voters of
Washington County, Utah, held at
Silver Reef, Saturday, April 18th,
1884. l Wieh to enIIRhten the Re.
publican voters OF Utah how this
'cut and dried" 60 called convention
was "put up" on the voters of this
county. Tne1e were no primaries
held in the different precincts of the
county, therefore there were no
delegates present at this "m ass con-
vention" to represent the Republi-
can voters Of the county; there was
no call made for a "ma.s conven-
tion;" there were but five persons
present, as follows: W. 1. Allen,
J H. Cassidy, J. n. Louder, Geo.
w. Arnold and Judge J. Jordan.
What the lat or named individual
is judge of is greatly mixed. Great
Indignation is being expressed
among the Republicans Of this place
at The notorious manner by which
this crowd usurped the rights OF
good citizens and made farce of
one of the grandest rights bestowed
upon all American citizens, and it
is to be hoped that all Republican
voters throughout the Territory may
learn by what base ways some of the
self constituted leaders are trying to
control the members Of the party.
Yours Loyalty,

Editors Herald:
The weather has been very
changes BILE here-rain, snow and
sunshine in turn. The wheathelds
and meadows begin to look very
green, and good crops are antlclPa'
ted. An unusual nun Der of acres
are being sowed, people expecting a
sGperabundance or water, and it is
very probable expectations will be
realized. The Sewer river is IN
usually high for this time OF the
year, and the water is beginning to
rush unceremoniously cut of the
canyons before the bitches are fairly
ready for it.
Sheep have been moved on to the
mountains, but it is feared early
lambs will be all lost on account of
the heavy snow storms. Some sheep
men think that early lem IS, which
can be shorn in the fall are more
profitable than those dropped in the
latter part of May or June, but ex-
perience goes to show that late lamb
ing is the safest and most profitable.
On account of the low price of wool
several sheep men are trying to
"sWap off" their fiocks for bovine
stock, which will produce so percent.
on investment, and risks are not so
great as with sheep. Wool does not
pay at lower figure than 20 cents
per POUND.
There are prospects Of wooden
factory going up in Glenwood soon
and there is a fine tannery in course
of progress, and will be ready for
operations during the summer.
The news from the Mary svale and
Anthony mines is very depressing,
and there are little hopes of any
thing being dene in e. Their this sum-
mer.
