HOW HE RACES!

their party refrained from voting, has
again set the defeated candidate wild with
rage. With mind envenomed so that it
has apparently no repentance or shame, he
again calls up the issues of the campaign,
and seeks to console himself by stealtny
abuse of the members OF his
own party who would not vote for him.
He says, ''only the very best and most pa
trotic of them voted" To our certain
knowledge many of the best men of the
Liberal party refrained from voting.
But the principal portion of his abuse is
directed against the members of
the Peoples party. And we here
make space once more for the |
words of the defeated Liberal |
candidate, fully believing that they will |
re-echo to his eternal cond emnation in a !
free country, and stand in the memories !
of the people of Utah as an enduring monu-
ment of his falsehood, blackguardism,
and infamy. Here are his latest words,
in which he again pillorles and convicts him
self, and we invite the especial attention
of all citizens, 'churched or unchurched."
Mormon, Jew, or GENTLE to perusal of
them.
Sixteen thousand Saints voted for MR..
GAME. Quite half the number can not to-day
give an intelligent idea OF the fotm of govern
mentin this country. Thousands of them can
not to-day tell who is President of the United
Suites Thousands of them could not to save
their lives tell in what direction from the Salt
Lake the city of Washington lies; thousands
OF them know no pos sible obligation which
is due from them to the government, and
nine out of ten OF them all, as between
command from the head of their creed and a
law of the United States. would without hest
tation obey the former. Now if such creatures
are in overwhelming majority in Utah, is that
sign the most sacred of citizenship privileges
should be extended to them? If the election
proves anything it establishes how shameful it
is to put the ballot in such hands. Did
the Yahoos in the outside counties suddenly
| feel an irresistible desire to vote for GAME?
There is not one among the thousands OF apoS-
tates who have left the Mormon church, who
does not say that the Mormon as a matter of
course has to vote as he is directed Tribune.
! Noe. II, 1890,
Every sentence, every idea, every word
in the foregoing is a falsehood, known to
be such by the writer of it, and deliberately
| set down in cold blood with the intention of
enslaving the Mormon people for the crime
Of voting against him. Yet he is the
man who is the especial champion Of
every measure ever proposed against them,
the man who penned the foregoing quota
ton, the man who has given direction to
every scheme intended to rob the people of
Utah for years past. Because the people
turn out and vote against the man who
tells them to their faces they are ''slaves"
unfit to hold land, vote, perform jury ser
vice, or engage in any of the duties of
citizenship, he says their voting against
him is final and absolute proof of their
degradation He says their increased vote
was due to their being INSTRUCTED to
voter' What, then, caused 1000 of his
own party to repudiate him. What but his
own, inherent, un-American ideas as dis
closed in his utterances!
But let him howl. He will gain nothing
by It, His own party will desplse him for
it. Whatever consolation he can find in
digging up his past record, he is welcome
to; though we should imagine he would
prefer to let it remain buried,
He has boosted that Gentiles already fill
every federal office in Utah, and demands
the disfranchisement of the Mormons, that
/ his friends may fill the few remaining
county and city Offices.
