John Z. Mcbride, Of odorous private
and public rePutstiona was selected as
one Of the anti-Aormons tostuf the Wis
iting G. A. Z. comrades last week. He
was picked upon because Of his known
disposition to abuse the people among
whom he has lived, and whose Dread he
often eats while cursing those who be
stow it upon him. A portion OF one of
the csnp-6res was given up TO Mcbride.
who undertook to deliver.Rn address:
his effort was q most dismal failure,
and the visitors expressed surprise that
such BOOK should have been designated
to entertain them. The gentlemen and
ladies did not understand that the pur-
pose was not to entertain them, but to
FIRE at them lies and all manner of vile
abuse OF the Aormons, with the ex-
pectation that it would take effect
hereafter. II the g. A. K. comrades
had been familiar with the plot they
might have regarded Mcbride as less Of
q boor than they did. u. w-f
In the course OF his harrangue Nc
Bride. among other things, asserted
that "lying in Utah has reached the
sublimity of fine art, and applied the
cart" to the Mormons. The HERALD on
Sunday, suggested that Mcbride was
mistaken in his application, which
should have been closer home, ia view
of the fact that several glaring mis-
stst ments were made by him. Some
of the latter were pointed out, among
Others the assertion that Gentle ask
ing about the expenditure of taxes col
lected in Utah is told that it is none Of
his business. 1t was also incidentally
mentioned that this same Mcbride
ought not to be so deeply exercised over
the manner in which taxes are ex
pended, inasmuch as he pays none.
though he poses as one of the pros
porous men of the community.
TIE HERALD pleasantly rufied the
feathers of Mcbride; the hit bird
fluttered. In Wednesdays issue of the
Tribune he voids himself over a column
and half, and manages TO completely
verify TIE HERALD's assertion that in |
his address he made q misapplication |
when he charged the profession of living
to the MormoEs instead of to himself. |
he denies. but he does not disproye a |
single utterance Of The HERALD. Butt
what he lacks in the matter of demon
strating that he Is not q professor in the |
art of Misrepresentation. he makes ND |
IN personal abuse OF the editor OF Tx |
HERALD. The latter has not lived on
this earth as long as Mcbride; but he
has been here long enough 10 know
better than handy words with

Know that calling names is not
argument, and the hurting of vile
abuse Is not reasoning. In this respect

1t IS said above that Mcbride in his
