The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1890-08-07

The PETITION of POWERS and other Lib
erals to the city council asking that the
council employ only union men on the new
| city and county building and that Salt Lake
work be for Salt Lake workmen is raw
and disgusting piece of demagogue politics.
Not that these petitioners care anything
about what they petition for, but that they
wanted to catch votes, was the real motive
suggesting the petition. Ii such was not
the case-and we shall be very slow in i'm
putting to the pious p. any sinister motive
then the Interpretation of motives from
acts and circumstances is lost art. We
suppose the petition was extensively circu-
lated among the workingmen just before
the election. Having used it for all it was
worth, it is now handed in to the council as
matter of form. Its usefulness, however,
came to an end on Monday night.
But the snlveling cant of prating now,
at this stage of political affairs, for the sup
port of the workingmen suggests an atti.
tude of abiect servility that none but a
