ELECTION FRAUDS

So much is heard about election frauds
that at times one wonders If there ever
was one honest election. Senator Sher-
man has been saying that if there had
been fair vote last year James G. Blaine
would have been President of the United
States and not Grover Cleveland. How
this would have been done is not e..
planned, but the inference is thai tho
frauds were all at the South, and that the
negro was not allowed to vote as he
chose. Last year after the Republican
candidate was defeated, it was generally
said that such defeat was owing to the
detection of the Mugwumps in New York,
but this year the Mugwumps will proba-
bly, vote for Mr.. Davenport, the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor of
New York, and it is not de-
sirable to offend them, so the
Republicans are maintaining silence on
the treason OF the Mugwumps last year.
That at times there have been frauds
committed by either party cannot be de-
on the ballot-box, every honest citizen of
the Republic is sinned against, and it
makes no difference by which party the
fraud is committed, nor for what object.
In a country like America, where the will
OF the people is made known through the
ballot-box, to in any way tamper with
that box is to thwart the will OF the peo-
pile to the extent OF that tampering
Where country is governed by the
people expressing their will through the
laws, such laws must be sacredly observed,
otherwise popular liberty is in danger
In no way are these laws so much in
danger as where those whom the people
choose to promulgate their laws are chosen
through fraud. To take all manner OF
precaution to prevent such frauds, and to
punish them when discovered, is one of
the first and most important duties OF the
State. In the United States it has be-
come so common to charge fraud at cleo
tions that now whenever any man or
party is disappointed on account OF the
way an election goes, fraud is charged
against the successful party. Unless
there is very good evidence that fraud has
been committed, it is doing the country
and American institutions great wrong
to charge fraud, and every time ground
less charge of fraud is made it demoralzes
the public mind more or less, and tends to
make men suspicious. No good citizen,
be he Democrat or Republican, can wish
to see the triumph OF a party or policy if
such triumph can only be had through
| fraud.

impolitic remark, for that remark was a
slur upon all Mormons who were not
polygamists and it gave rise to some
considerable feelings between the polyga-
mists and monogamists of the church.
This preaching up OF polygamy as
it was Just after the passage OF a law to
aid in its further suppression, did not
have the effect it was intended to have,
but it had the effect OF raising the indig-
nation OF the whole country, and making
the country more determined that polyg-
amy should be suppressed. For n year
or more past polygany has been preached
comparatively little, save in the smaller
towns, and remote from all influences
hostile to the doctrine. We have heard
of a number of such sermons, one or two
in Grantsvile and one or two in Davis
County, but these sermons have been
rather urgent than otherwise. This con-
dition OF things must be looked upon as
encouraging. There is too great risk
to be run nowadays in enter
ing into plural marriage, and there is a
great disinclination to take the risk.
This is personal risk, but that is not all.
When plural marriages are formed they
are apt to become known, although the
evidence OF them may be impossible to
obtain, and in the present state OF the
public mind on this question the know
ledge of such marriages insences the pub
lie and makes the feeling OF hostility to
the people of Utah greater; and for this
reason, also, we believe there has been a
decrease in the number OF plural mar
riages. There is also great CONSERVATION
among the people OF Utah, and for once
in their lives they think it well to go a
little slow, for time at least, and this is
also encouraging. AS the whole field is
surveyed, everything looks encouraging.

THE UTAH EXHIBIT.

Only n few day s more remain before
the New Orleans Exposition will be re-
opened. The progress which seems to
have been made in preparing Utah's ex-
hbit is satisfactory when the very short
time in which to prepare it is considered,
1t is scarcely a month since General Con-
ner was appointed Commissioner for
Utah, aud yet in that time Il very great
deal has been done. Utah need have no
hesitation in comparing her manuiac-
tured and natural products with the pro-
ducts of other parts OF the Union. 1t
would be idle to expect that Utah's ex-
hibit OF manufactured products will rival
those OF the older States, but in her nat
urall products she need have no
fear OF being surpassed by States
old or States new. The exhibit
from Utah should be such as to give the
world some idea OF the resources of the
Territory, and its capabilities of future
development. The primary object of all
expositions is to show the resources of the
country in which they are given, and to
compare them with those OF other coun-
tries, and to encourage commercial inter
course. And this should be the aim so
far as the Utah exhibit is concerned.
The agricultural and mining resources of
the Territory are unsurpassed, and that
which the Territory needs is capital to
deyelope these resources; but if people
do not know what the Territory's re-
sources are, they will have no desire TO
deyelope them. Nor is it reasonable TO
expect capitalists and investors to come
to Utah to see what her resources are.
unless the people Of Utah do something
to make known these resources. Far
more good comes from universal exposi.
tons than people generally think
Tor they are the worlds work in miniature
Let all who can contribute to make Utab,s
exhibit worthy Of Utah's resources and

WORD comes from Washington that the
President will not change his policy in
regard to Civil-Service reform, let the
consequence be what it may. The only
change he will make will be to more rig
idly examine all recommendations than
heretofore This is right, for in number
OF instances those upon whom the Presi-
dent had right to rely abused the conf
dence reposed in them. II is said that
the President is confident that ultimately
the country will endorse his policy in this
regard; and in this expectation he will
not be disappointed
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-10-26

If IT would not be too great Gala
nifty, it would be highly amusing to see
the Republicans in Office once more, and
see if they are really sincere in their devo-
ton to Civil-Service reform. II they were
in office, would they retain single De-
mocrat in office? and il they did not,
would they replace the identical persons
in office who have been removed? Would
they retain these competent and honest
public servants" or would they appoint
to office other Republicans equally de-
serving? Gay, there's the rub"

the display at New Orleans will be as
bread cast upon the water. In conclusion
we would say that the fare to New Orleans
will not be to exceed cent and a quarter
per mile each way, thus placing it in the
power of all to visit the great Exposition.

Turn About Fair PLAY.

The Chico, Cal, Record says: A young
man in Colusa county shot himself a year
ago, because young woman refused to
marry him. The girl said he was fool
but the boy recovered. The other day
the girl committed suicide, because the
boy refused 70 marry her. The world
changes, and SO do boys and girls

This man came to Salt Lake City representing
himself as the son of DR.. L. b. FooTE OF New
York, the well known specialist as abundantly
proved by aflidavits. As rumors came into Salt
Lake City from Dakota and Montana from an
expose made there, he changed his base and
represented himself as the son of n more noted
specialist in New York City than DR.. L. Is.
FooTE, the well known author. Mr.. JOHN II.
TRow, of the well known Trow's Directory, in
New York City (forty years in the directory
business), Ex-Governor FRANK FULLER, of Utah,
Postmaster in New York City, also Surveyor of
the Port, gave their afiidavits that there are no

or FooTE, excepting DR.. E. b. FooTE, the author
of Medical Common Sense" etc, and his two
sons DR.. +. b. FooTE, Jr., and DIR. HUBERT T.
