YOUNG UTAH.

One Of the most pleasing thing. to TIE

parade was the absence of young Utah
from its rauks.-aTHE HERALD's con idence
in young Utah has been unbounded. and
that parade demonstrated the fact that our
confidence had! not been misplaced; it also
proved that the supreme gall of the Lib
erals in claiming large following of young

mas young Utah ever received at the hands
OF the Liberals, which would be calculated
to inspire them with confidence in that
party or its promises! The Liberal party
has been the means of DISTINGUISHING the
pioneers of Utah and of robbing the fathers
and mothers of young Utah of the right to
vote. The organ of that party has unblush-
ingy recommended the "a agency of

of the number; while the Peoples Party
gave four places, or so per cent. of the total
general offices. This one Office accorded to
young Utah ON the Liberal ticket
was secured more because of the
personal strength of the candidate than bv
reason of the love of the party for young
Utah. The Liberals may have thought
that young Utah was made up of gudgeons
but they find they were very much mis-
taken when they looked at Friday nights
parade. which was so conspicuous for the
absence OF any of that element in it's ranks.

THAT BRILLIANT daily, the Alexandria
(Va.) Gazette, never uses many words, but
1t scores point every time. In the latest
issue to hand it says of the political roguery
which has lately been practiced here: '.The
men who want to disfranchise the Nor
mons and confiscate the property of the
Mormon church so that they may hold all
the offices in Utah and possess themselves
of the property referred to, have learned
the trick the more eastern Republicans
play in respect of the south, and necessarily
cry aloud against alleged election frauds
committed by the majority party in the
territory. A famous Chicago detective, ex-
Inspector BoNFTELD, was sent to investi-
gate these alleged frauds. His report is to
the effect that frauds were certainly COM
mltted, but that the perpetrators thereof
were not Mormons, but Republicans, who
put hundreds of names of non-residents on
the registration lists, many of whom never
took the registration oath, and never
stated their residences Thus making legal
objection difficult and preventing the illegal
names from being stricken off,

AN INCONSISTENT ORGAN.

Our unesteemed morning contemporary
has again ssput its foot in it,u to use the
common phrase. This is not such a rare
occurrence as to excite comment every
time it happens, but in this instance the
"bull' is such conspicuous one that even
the organs friends are put to shame. It
seems that the other night the directors
OF the chamber OF commerce, at their regu-
lar meeting, proceeded according
to the bylaws to elect a secre-
tary for the ensuing year. The
cholce fell upon new conner. a Mr..
GILLESPIE, who, we understand, is a clever
gentleman, and one well qualified to per-
form the not very onerous duties attaching
to the position. Nobody would have
thought of questioning the fitness of the
gentleman for the place had it not been for
our morning contemporary, which came
out in its issue of Saturday, not with di-
rect attack upod Mr.. GILLESPIE but an as
sault upon the chamber directors. And
upon what does it base its criticismsg

''he has no interests here;'' that ahe has

with Utah and identified with the
interests of the city should have

would Interfere to protect the citizens from
danger and violence. The city authorities
still refused and petitioned for Deputy
PRATT's removal, but neither Marshal
PARSONS nor his deputy was to be trifed
with, and the good work proceeded, much

driven off the sidewalks into their houses,

up stakes and hunt for pastures new.
| The mastery inactivity of the illustrious
Liberal council in caring for the morals of
the people, has also characterized their
administration of the other affairs of the
city. Let US see what they have done:
First-They changed the names of the
streets so that no man, woman or child
could be found without the aid of a police
man and a guide post.
Second They gave to an adventu rer the
entire system of waterworks, and all the
water, owned by the city, worth not less
than 100000. The city received nothing
for this gift, but Judge POWERS very sig
nifcantly limited in court, the other day.

themselves.
Third-To be certain that the people
should have no water they caused the fin
est spring in the city to be filled up and
abandoned, over the protests of the people.
Fourth-Finding that the revenue of the
city, which had been sufficient to enable
the Peoples party to lay all the expenses
OF the city government, and at the same
time to build, extend and operate several
miles of tramway and equip itwith loco
motive and two trains of cars, was INSULT
Gent to pay their salaries and operate the
tramway, they directed that the salaries be
increased several fold, and the tramway
discontinued. This created big row with
some of their Liberal laborers, and after
few weeks time they were forced to re-

les have not been reduced
F'ifth-They have increased the taxes
from three to six fold, as will be seen from
the following facts and figures:A

TO The VOTERS.

Gentlemen, upon you rests an importan
duty. The responsibility is very great
greater than any other you have been
called upon to shoulder since your resi-
dence in Salt Lake city.
1t is for you to decide tomorrow what
shall be the temporary fate of this city. If
you love the city as you should, we know
what your decision will be- If YOU are
truly interested in its continued prosper
ity, there can be no question as to how Won
will vote.
On one side in this contest is a partv
which has lifelong record for peace and
good order. 1t is the party of good morals:
the party of sebriety and the personal
virtues; of honesty in: administration and
integrity in Office. 1t is the party which
founded the city, and built it, making its
growth steady and certain. 1t is the party
whose career has been marked by wise
economy in public expenditures, and whose
progress has always been characterized by
safety. 1t has been neither niggardly nor
extravagant; neither hating nor hasty
The peoples abilities have always been
taken into account in making public i'm
provements, an avoidance of oppression be-
ing studied at all times. 1t is the party
which has a record that is clean
IN every part, and that record is
a guarantee that if continued in power the
city will be safe; the taxes will continue
low; the poor men can still reside here: the
progress will be as swift as the material
abilities of the people are great; the public |
money will be honestly and wisely ex-
pended; the law gainst vice will be en-
forced and Salt Lake will enjoy continu-
ance of her fair reputation-a reputation |
for pea ,e, good order and steady growth |
and prosr e .ity which is the admiration and |
envy of every other city ia the west.

and especially so at this time. On
the same page where the action of the
chamber directors is condemned stands g
list of candidates for all the municipal
offices Of this city to be chosen by the
electors tomorrow. 1t is the Tribunc's
ticket and the paper has been championing
and supporting it with a degree of earnest
ness and energy seldom thrown into a
political campaign by the most pronounced
partisan organs. And on that very ticket
there are several new-comers-not quite SO
recent arrivals as Mr., GILLESPIE, it is
true, yet little more than strangers in Salt
Lake There are others on the ticket who
have little If any Interests bere.n other
than the interest which actuates Mr.. Gu

good for the city than has the chambers

the duties of which are purely clerical the
work OF the gentleman being at all times
subject to the revision and approval of
those who employ him, upon person who
is new to the place. and at the same time
the paper would commit the interests: of
this mighty commonwealth, with its mill
lions of invested capital and hun
dreds of thousands of public reye
nues to the custody and manip-
ulation of comparative strangers, and to
others who, while they have been here
long enough, have ''done nothing for the
city," and shown no special aptitude for
doing anything. Are the duties
OF the chamber secretaryship more
important than those of the municipal
legislator! Is it of greater concern to the
people of Salt Lake that the man who
keeps the records and signs the letters of
the chamber of commerce shall be person
OF long residence and established ability
than that the municipality itself should be
under the control of bona .dde citizens of
long residence and known ability? 1t
seems to US that a journal which can advo-
cate the election of the Liberal ticket ought
not to complain of the selection of the
chamber OF commerce secretary on the
score OF his brief residence and failure to
show that he has done anything for the
city.
