CONCERNING MR.. JOHN A. BOYLE.
From q Correspondent.
Fairness should be the principal ingredi-
ent in political contests.
1t is sure that in party contests, conflicts
and combats of hither-and- thither char
acter, there is certain amount of ami
mostly, in the heated development of which
things and ques JlJ spring up, the aiming
of which are anyth g but desirable to
either party in the conflict
1t is true and known that Weber county
is the contested battle-ground of the August
campaign.
It's true, too, that the Liberal party have
the best reasons for hopes of SUCCESSFUL
cause:
I-They "got there" in February and
Ogden city-a short month and long town.
1.-THE voting strength of the Liberals
is nearly 20 per cent, in the county outside
of the city majority Gf kept within legal
bounds Of seventy to thirty. For the sake
of argument it might be admitted that the
Liberals have fair lighting force.
uI-The Liberals have-which they
should not to n degree have" the bulge''
on the Mormons by an overdue excess
of the election machinery.
1V-The Liberals have the rag tag, bob
tail, harum- Scarum and 'devil-may-care
em'' lower end of the election. Respectable
men are too often out-done by the multitu-
dinOus yaps.
But-politics no mOre-the Peoples
party, short as their comings may be and
big as their faults appear, have not to re-
sort to wholesale lying, as has been taken
as a refuge of vindictiVe and vituperative
self protection by some ill-advised ad-
visor Of the misguided city council of Og-
den, when that body, at Friday nights
session, inGugurated, or caused to be
started, an evidently partisan principle,
an action in law against John A. Boyle,
late member of the city council elected by
the Peoples party.
Why! Because he, when such a member
of the municipal areOpagus, happened to
sanction with his vote the sale of about
nine acres of municipal real estate at the
then most reasonable figure of 500 per
acre. But, 10 and behold. it happened to
turn out that Mr.. BinfOrd was not quite
ready at the time the final settlement on
the purchase of said land was to be made
A syndicate, to simplify the matter, was
organized and Mr.. Boyle, then chairman of
the finance committee, took hand in it, as
any private citizen might, there being no
more chances or dangers of public inter
cession. Messrs. Sprunt and Chaplin, real
estate men, also had finger in the pie
And that was alright enough.
Still, Mr.. Boyle, having IAN inkling''
that some ''kick' was likely to be coming,
voluntarily and spontaneously offered to
pay $500 as his share of the net profits rea-
lized on the resale of the piece of property,
in which he had only taken a secondary
ex post facto interest.
Mr.. Boyle, if he had a right to partalle in
the advantages of the ''boom,'' did not only
not make mistake by taking advantage
of the open opportunities of the public
market, but ne as gentleman expressed
his well determined willingness to even
wipe away the slightest shade Of sus-
picion on his public career.
Mr.. BinfOrd is thoroughly aware and no
less satisfied of Mr.. Boyle's course IN this
matter. James N. Kimball Esq, is like
wise confident that Mr.. Boyle's conduct
will be indicated in the courts To say
the least-it is a precarious piece of cam
Mr.. Boyle can hold his
own in and out Of court. as far as his public
Official acts are concerned Fl. II.
