THE "TRUTHFUL OLD WONIy''
SHELYED.

o. Thursday last the chief anti
mormon" organ OF this city stated
that Mr.. Rumel, recorder elect for
Salt Lake County, had called upon
the Commission the day before and
requested the issuance OF his GER

the same paper corrects the state

ton in question. In fact it is proper
ly admitted that this Is true. Here,
then, is IL question Of veracity. By

/" LIBERALISM . As SELF
DESCRIBED.

THE "LiberaI'' organ Of this
morning Says:
"a party that will colombo the city
with fraudulent voters, registering
hundreds OF names OF Illegal voters

innocent people; hires burglars,
sneak-thieves and pickpOckets 10 help
carry an election, and depends on false
affidavits to make points, is not party
to talk much about purity"
weagree fully with the sentiment.
such a party is not one that should
talk about purity. But it may be
expected to be fully as hypocritical
Is it is criminal. This is why the
'Liberal'' party, which IS APPLY

gan, puts on such airs Of riety and
poses as a moral reformer, while
Its frauds smell to heaven and Its

sure: If there is a burglar, sneak

A thing charged in the paragraph

INVISIBLE RESEnBLASCES.

A DAY or two since the Chronicle
OF san Francisco contained an in
teresting article on Facial Resem-
blance." We give here its opening
paragraph:
The opinion Is often Expressed
( that 1t is singular that people who are
not related to each other by any de-
gree OF consanguiuity shoald look
alike. That such resemb!ances do
exist is not to be denied, since every
one must be struck by hkenesses
which are sometimes extraordinary.
There have never been found exac;
duplicates in the human family; that
is. two people so nearly alike that
