AN Original SILVER MAN.

Colonel w. NJ. Ferry, the Democratic
nominee for Delegate to Congress, was
the first person in the United States to
introduce resolution in political con-
vention in favor of silver coinage. In the
Democratic State Convention in Michigan
in 1876 he introduced Il resolution in
structing the delegates to the National
Convention to favor as a part of the plat
form, plank denouncing the act by
which silver was iraudulently demone-
tized In arguing its adoption, Colonel
Ferry predicted that in less than
ten years the question OF silver
coinage would rank in import
anCe second to no other issue before
the country. This was before he was in
terested in silver mining or supposed that
he ever would be, and his early action in
the matter is proof, not only OF his polit-
cal sagacity, but OF his personal disinter-
estedness in taking a position upon the
right side OF q question OF such paramount
importance to the loyal people OF this
Territory. Ii he can be elected he will
prove OF great service, not only to Utah,
but to the entire silver producing sections
OF the Union.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY

With each recurring blast upon the
Republican bugle-horn, the Democratic
press is called upon to nail the peryer-
sions OF truth made by the speakers of
the Republican party, and the round OF
denial and disproving is becoming mo-
notonous. Blaine and Senator Sherman
both, in their recent attacks upon the
Administration, placed such stress upon
the decaying condition. OF business and
trade in general throughout the country
owing to the Democratic Administra-
tion-that people who read their state
ments and see no contradiction, are liable
TO believe them. We refer our readers
to the report OF Brddstreets in our
telegraph columns to-day for iull re-
futation Of these mendacious statements
made by these men on the stump, and
we feel that their conviction is so certain
that we will not attempt comment here
To show that the same feelings actuate
the Eastern press in this matter, we clip
the following editorial from the Cleveland
Plain-Dealer OF recent date, believing
its argument fully and thoroughly covers
the ground in question al For why
should any good citizen vote the Repub-
lican ticket this year? What can he
possibly expect to gain? Is not every
thing so lar as the Democrats are con-
cerned with it going along as it ought?
Has not the Democratic Administration
answered every expectation? Is not the
country prosperous? Have we not made
great gain since the last year OF Re
publican President? Who, then, wants
to change? Who wants to put the coun-
try back to where it was three years ago,
when half the mills of the country were
idle and thousands OF men and women
were out OF work?
Let us present few facts. The first
is an Associated Press dispatch found in
the newspapers OF yesterday as follows
PIrTsBURG, Pa, Oct 23.-This city is ex-
periencing an industrial revival lust now
which - growing greater every day. From
talks with half hundred manufacturers of
iron, steel, glass and coke to-day il was de-
yeloped that the mills, factories and ovens
are running to their fullest capacity, and in
many instances orders are ahead for months
of steady work.
4 little item like that is worth more
than whole reams OF campaign oratory,
1t tells its own eloquent tale. 1t shows
the condition OF the country under Demo.
cratic rule, Was it 50 when Arthur was
President? Was it so three years ago q?
Then why 90 back? Why not vote to
sustain the party that has done this +?

For Delegate to Congress,
w. M. FERRY,
OF SUMMIT COUNTY.
WOODBURN, OF NEVADA.

The DENocRAr will indulge in little
prophesy, 1t prophesies that William
Woodburn, the Republican candidate for
Congress in Nevada, will receive the
entire Mormon vote in Lincoln county
amounting to between two and three hum
dred-and that this will be clearly shown
by the official returns from that county.
Woodburn was the introducer OF the bill
generally known as the Woodburn bill but
formulated and drawn by Col. Wall and
other Gentle residents OF this Territory.
After its introduction, the member from
Nevada appeared to lose all interest in
the matter, and from that time onward,
never raised his voice in its favor
or in any manner urged the
passage Of that or any other
measure favored by the loyal people OF
Utah. THE DEMOCRAT has been credi-
bly, informed that number OF petitions
from the southern portion of Idaho, ask
ing for the passage OF his or some similar
bill, were sent to Mr.. Woodburn, but, so
far as is known, were never presented in
Congress. There is scarcely room for rea-
sonable doubt that Woodburn has made
his peace with the Mormon Church, and
that orders have been issued from the
underground to the faithful in Lincoln
county to cast their votes for him.
Everyone who knows Mr.. Woodburn is
aware that he is by no means averse to
public demonstrations in which he is the
central figure, and his giving Salt
Lake City the go-by on his return to his
home is strongly indicative OF his desire
to avoid such complications as visit
here and a reception by the Gentle ele-
ment would involve Mr. Mcmillan, his
Democratic opponent, is as sound upon
the Mormon question as Judge Baskin.
This is well known to the Church leaders
here, and it is dollars to doughnuts
that orders have ere this been
issued to give him the Immortal cinch"
at the polls. These facts are as well and
perhaps better known to the Republican
organ here than to the DEMOCRAT, vet
not word or syllable OF protest to
his nomination or election has ap-
peared in the columns OF that paper.
1t devotes upon an average y couple of
columns day to the abuse OF john
HALEY for his alleged failure to take an
active part in antiMormon legislation,
but is silent in regard to the Republican
who not only has voice but a vote in
the Lower House. 1t is an open
secret among Republicans in Nevada
that Mr.. Woodburn is placed upon
the ticket to 'catch the Irish vote" He
is far more likely this time to catch" the
Mormon than the Celtic element. He is
a pet and protege OF John w. Mackay,
the millionaire, and with his support on
the Comstock, and the Mormon vote OF
Lincoln county, may pull through and
return to Congress-
Ii he does, the DEMocRAr hazards its
reputation as prophet that his future
action will demonstrate the wisdom Of
the Mormon leaders in giving him the
preference over j. III. Mcmillan.

THE Southern Democracy are charged by
James G.. Blaine with lawlessly and sys-
tematically suppessing the right of suffrage
that belongs to oolored voters. Yet, two
negroes, one from South Carolina and the
other from North Carolina have seats in the
present Congress- and these are just two
more negroes than have been elected to Con-
gress by all the Republicans of the North
If what Mr.. Blaine asserts be true, how did
Robert Smalls and James O'Hara get into
the present House of Representatives? And
if the Northern Republicans have 30 great a
desire for the political elevation of their
colored brethren, why do they not send an
occasional negro to Congress or to the State
Legislature? Philadelphia Record.
The assurance that such posers as the
foregoing were fired at Blaine, right on
the ground, while his utterances were
still fresh in the public mind, leads to the
belief that the persimmon is magnetic as
well as the pole, and that j. G. b. will
not be the man to knock it.
