THAT LIBEL SUIT.
Information for the Benefit OF So
icitOus Morning Contempt
rarieS.

A certain morning contemporary an
nounced to-day that the DEMOCRAT COM
pany had a libel suit on its hands,
Palmer & Rey, of San Francisco, having
brought an action to recover $20,OOO
damages. We regret to state that this
was all morning contemporary lie, and
that no such suit has been commenced.
The morning contemporary has again al
lowed its inclination to prevaricate to get
the better of its judgment. Palmer d
Rey notified the DEMOCRAT company that
they would commence proceedings last
Wednesday, but, as usual with that firm,
they failed to fulfil their promises.
In view of the kindly interest mani
tested in the affairs of the DEMOCRAT by
both of our morning contemporaries, we
deem it would not be improper to state
the cause of Palmer & Reys grievances.
for the especial information of our m. C. IS,
as neither of them seems to possess much
knowledge of the matter.
In the first place, the DEMOCRAT COM
pany has promptly RENTED for every
article of material furnished by Palmer &
Rey that was furnished according to
agreement. The printing press that was
ordered was, by the terms of the con-
tract, to arrive at certain time, and to be
in first-class condition. Portions of it did
get here at the time agreed upon. Other
portions have been arriving at intervals
ever since, and some of the parts have not
yet made their appearance. Instead OF
being in first class condition, some of the
pieces were completely worn out. When
it was found that the press would be
entirely worthless until reconstructed,
the DEMOCRAT company very naturally re-
fused to accept, as it had been guaran
teed to be in first-class condition. Palmer
& Rey then sent on a man from San
Francisco who claimed to be an ''expert"
After tinkering at the press for week he
succeeded in getting it in running
order, but before doing so found it neces-
sary to send the worn out portions to the
machine shops and have new pieces
manufactured. Before completing his
labors he was forced to admit the press
was not in first-class condit on, as the
firm had guaranteed it to be-
When the press was finally rebuilt and
got in running order the DEMOCRAT COM
pany offered what they considered fair
price for piece of worn out machinery,
but the offer was declined and Palmer &
Rey propose to bring suit for the sum the
company agreed to pay for a frst-class
press.
The DEMOCRAT took occasion to state,
through its columns, that Palmer & Rey
had violated their contract, an assertion
which it now reiterates, and that firm
considers itself damaged by this state
ment in the sum OF $4,000 Whatever
may be said of Palmer & Rey's I'M
scrupulous dealings, they certainly place
proper estimate on the influence of the
DEMOCRAT.
We hope Messrs. Palmer & Rey have
not reconsidered their determination to
institute legal proceedings. No newspa-
per is fairly launched upon the sea of
prosperity until it has passed through the
throes of libel suit and Messrs. Palmer &
Rey's proposed suit will afford more fun
for the DEMOCRAT than anything else We
could wish for. --s

A Four-HOrse Runaway.

There seems to be some spirit of mis-
chief in the air lately that has taken pos
session of the Salt Lake horses. Scarcely
day passes but two or three runaways
are seen flying through the streets, and
shattered vehicles, bits at harness and
dilapidated drivers are seen on every
hand. The four magnificent horses that
are driven to MLlloy & Paul's big ombi-
bus became possessed of the spirit this
morning. They started at the Continental
Hotel and galloped south at swinging
gait, turning east on Second South street.
They ran into pile of building material
at Walker Bro > corner which slackened
their speed and bystander seized one of
the wheelers and brought him back on his
launches. No one hurt and no damage.

Better Than Anticipated.

The wonderful success with which the
DEMOCRAT is meeting and the liberia
patronage given it by the public is most
gratifying and far exceeds the expecta
tons of its projectors.
Although the daily edition printed this
week is greater by two hundred than last
week, the supply still seems to be made
quate to meet the demand and there
were numerous calls for papers after last
evenings edition was exhausted. 1t was
thought by few croakers when the
DEMOCRAT was started that there was nc
room for it, but its gratifying success has
shown that Rufus Choate (or some other
sage) was about right when he said
"There's always room at the top"

The iron works at Iron City, Utah, we

this is the case, the company have given
up the idea of constructing a railroad
