DISMISSED.
cere

The Commission has completed part of
its work of canvassing the returns of the
late election. The most important ques-
ton that came before them was the charge
of fraud in Summit County. 1t is inaccu-
rate to term Mr.. Eldredge's letter and
suspicious charges of fraud; they were
insinuations of fraud. Specific charges
were not made, but Mr. Eldredge and
his party desired the Commission to in
vestigate the election proceedings in
Summit County to see if some fraud did
not exist. The only ground for such
request was The fact that had the Judges
of Election and the electors OF Park City
and thereabouts so chosen, they might
have committed a fraud. The same
might be said OF any precinct in Utah.
The Commission very properly dismissed
the matter, and from the very vagueness
of Mr. Eldredge's letter it is difficult to
see how they could have done otherwise.
For long time it has been a matter of
common talk that the parties in Summit
County were so nearly balanced that
there was some doubt as to whether the
Peoples party would be able to carry the
election; the result of the last election
has shown that they could not Park
City is the most prosperous mining camp
in Utah, and is continually and rapidly
growing, and the people who engage in
mining, as Il rule, do not be-
long to the Peoples party. The
members of the Peoples party in
Summit County az well as elsewhere all
belong to the Mormon church, and the
party grows just 50 fast as the church
grows, and no faster. Not so with the
mining population. 1t grows as grows the
mines, and as every one knows, the mines
at the Park are more prosperous now as
whole than ever before. In this simple
fact can be found full explanation of the
defeat of the Peoples party, without any
resort to charges OF fraud on the part
of its opponents. II the mines in
Summit County should fail, it is more
than likely that such failure would soon
restore the Peoples party to political
supremacy there, because the mining
population would migrate to other places.
The defeat of the Peoples party in Sum-
NIT County is easily traceable to the
most natural of causes, and any fair
minded man will come to that conclusion
if he will but study these causes.

the seal of approval or disapproval on it.
The best things the spoils-hunters can do is
to seek "a change of heart, become patriots
instead of spoilsmen, and join in the acclaim
with which all right-nlinded people hail the
effort to purify the National Government
and make II what it should be-
The leading Democratic paper OF South
Carolina, the Charleston Ne1cs and Cour-
Ter, not long since spoke in these terms
regarding the discomfort in the party:
"There is growing here and there, of
course. Democrats can be found who have
precisely the use for the Democratic party
that the mule has for the corn-crib. Noisy
as they are, they form but small corner of
the Democratic party"
In speaking of the report concerning
Mr.. Hendricks and his alleged disagree
ment with the President on the matter of
appointments, this same paper said:
''If it should prove to be true, however,
that he and any number of politicians, in
Office or out Office, propose to make fight
against the President upon the question of
civil-service reform, they cannot make 1T too
soon. The result is by no means doubtful,
duU Iut LlOI0 pIOulplly OIl6f are SeAt W tllc
rear the better it will be for the country"
The above extracts from various DEM
ocratic platforms and various representa-
tive Southern Democratic papers will
amply suffice to refute the charge OF the
Herald and all such papers that are en-
deavoring to lead people to believe that
there exists "a widespread discomfort"
because the Administration does not
make ga clean sweep" of all Offices. The
"clean sweep" cry will not win, and those
who are crying it out now will wish by
next spring that it had never been raised,
and that they had never shouted it. 1t
would be well for such to begin to learn
now that the present Administration is q
reform Administration, honest and sim
cere.

A STORY OF A SONG.
ssNO One TO Love-, Written on the
Eve of Battle.

heard curious story yesterday in re-
gard to the well-known song:
No one to love! none to caressl
Travelling alone through life's wilder
ness, etc.
The author of this song lives here in
! Washington, and he boards at a hotel
within square of the White House. He
is now man of perhaps forty, and he
wrote the song many years ago. He was
in love with beautiful girl, and the day
was fixed for their marriage. In the in
terval between the engagement and this
day the war broke out, and the young
man enlisted. He was on the field when
the time approached for his wedding.
1t was on the eve OF great battle, and
that the first battle in which the young
man was to take part. He wrote to his
sweetheart, asking her to postpone the
day of the marriage until after the fight.
This she refused to do, and said if he did
not return and keep his part of the en-
gagement she would consider the engage
ment off. The young man preferred to
trust to luck in regard to the engagement
to being considered a coward in running
away from his first battle, and remained
on the field. His lady love, however,
was so piqued at the refusal that she per-
sisted in her objection of his suit and
married another man. Inspired with the
feeling of the desertion, the rejected wrote
the song which had such wide run.
He not only wrote the song, but he re-
manned true to his first love, and for some
time, the story goes, he has been living
here with his mother. Not long ago, how
ever, his loves husband died, and since
that time he has renewed the acquaint-
ance of the widow, who, though older
than when he went to the war, is still
charming The old flame has, it is said,
revived in the fair widow breast, and
there is fair prospect of a mash.-Wash-
ington Letter n, Boston Traveler.

THEY ARE DETERMINED.

The Ogden Herald of last night has an
article entitled "The Old Cry" in which
it attempts to show the terrible charac-
ter of all who do not affiliate with the
party to which it belongs. 1t speaks of
the Judiciary of the Territory in these
terms:
1T is by reason of this debauchery of the
judiciary of Utah that characterless and ir-
| responsible blatherskites are enabled to
cloak themselves in an ephemeral import
anoe-it is by virtue of this shameful ar
rangement that whoremongers and ex-social
outcasts are made the chief instruments of
mighty nation In the enforcement of q
special law ostensibly enacted for the pres
ervation of society"
Whatever may be the merits or de-
merits of the Judiciary of Utah, however
prejudiced they may be against the Nor
mons, that charge is founded upon false
hood and prompted By the basest of
motives of base minds. Such charges are
the outpourings of soul that deems all
means justifable to attain an end. To
substantiate its charges such soul would
deem it high virtue to lie, to cheat, to
steal, aye to murder if necessary. But
such arguments are not new with such
people and papers as the Ogden Herald.
When they are opposed politically, and
have no answer TO make TO fair and
honest argument, they resort to the viii
fication of character and the defamation
of names. Following the above charge
comes this statement:
But it is preposterous to say that all laws
are intrinsically just and ought to be obeyed
submlsslvely merely because they have been
enacted and pronounced Constitutional bv
the Supreme Court
1t may be preposterous to say that all
laws are Just, but II is not preposterous to
say that all Constitutional laws should be
oheyed. If laws are obnoxious the way
in which to meet them is by agitating for
their repeal, but not by openly denounc-
ing them and covertly evading them.
Such evasions are inconsistent with good
citizenship and with manhood. Above
and beyond all governments and guar
antees there exists the right of revolu- |
ton, and if men choose to exercise that
right the world viii accord it them. But |
those who resort to this right must re- !
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1885-08-21

member that those against whom they
exercise it also possess the same right; !;
and if those who resort to it are beaten
in the struggle they should not complain,
for it was an old idea, with semblance
of reason in it, that trial by wager of bat
tie was Gods way of deciding a dispute,
and that God sided with the victor.
The Herald compares the evasions OF
the fugitive slave law by the Abolition
lists with the evasions of the Edmunds
and other acts by the people of this Ter
ritory, and closes its article thus:
'It is upon this principle that honest and
lofty-minded patriotic Mormons are deter
mined to oppose the Edmunds law to the
last, cost what it may, to the end that in
trinsic right and justice may be ultimately
vindicated and their posterity served from a
wrongful abridgement of their most sacred
liberties.
Every one in Utah is familiar with the
manner in which the Edmunds law has
been opposed, and from this it would
seem that the opposition will continue on
the same lines. 1t is a matter of surprise
when one reads about the determination
OF ''honest and lofty-minded patri-
otic Mormons" to oppose the Ed
munds law, that they have never
declared their opposition to this law by
calling for its repeal in their political
platforms, and never have elected a Dele
gate who had enough interest in them
and the repeal of this law, and others OF
like nature, to call the attention of Con-
gress to the matter and ask them to re-
peal these unjust laws. Isit possible that
the people of Utah have never elected a
Delegate, and that for this reason these
things have not been done? This last
remark OF the Herald overlooks one
great factor in the Utah problem, and
one that is too little considered by the
people of Utah when announcing their
determination ''to oppose the Edmunds
law to the last, cost what it may" which
fact is-the Government is determined to
enforce the Edmunds law and all others,
''cost what it may" Let the Herald tell
this to its readers also
