LET US HAVE PEACE.

Inc petter element OF the Liberal party
should at once exert their influence to pre-
vent the rows and violence which the man
ayers of their organization are encourag-
ing and the tag, rag and bobtail are so
eager for. 1t is the intention of the lead
ers to create trouble, if they can 90 it,
row resulting in a few broken hePi -
rebound to the benefit of the ,nf,Sal ,,a 0lO
just as everything of that. ehaTacte, is mad
to operate in 6ehalf of that detectah,e or.
ganization. a Liberal can shoot down a
Mormon IN cold blood and Liberal jury
viii acquit him, while the Liberal masses
will applause the deed. A Liberal bailiff will
shoot down another Mormon without prov
ocation and be railroaded through the court
to an acquittal, for it was only Mormon
that he killed. But let Mormon, for good
and sufficient cause, pummel the head of q
| Liberal, and at once there is a howl: a
grave Mormon outrage has been perpe-
tratedf the entire Mormon people are
charged with the offense, and two to one il
is flashed throughout the length and
breadth of the land that the Mormons are
in open rebellion against the government,
and the lives of all Gentiles are in dan ger.
More than once this thing has occurred.
and United States troops have actually
been rushed here in hot haste to suppress
a Mormon uprising" of which not a soul
here ever heard hint until the wires
brought the news from the national capital
or some distant city.
If there were to be a collision of vic
lence between People and Liberal par
campaign the blame would all be put upon
the former, though the latter might be
the oppressors and wholly responsible for
the trouble. If Liberal should be hurt
though he had created row and forced
the difficulty, the Peoples party would be
held accountable and such howl would
go up from the Liberals as would incline
Mormons were on the eve of spilling all
the Gentle blood in Utah The managers
Of the Liberal party are unprincipled and
dispicable enough to precipitate a bloody
ARRAY in order to charge an outrage upon
the People and deprive the latter of the few
rights remaining with them. With
the exception of one day every day and
night this week, the final one in the cam
paign, have been appropriated by the
Liberal committee for street parades and
"blow outs" This hoggishness is charac
teristic Of the party which goes to p. V.
Junction, Soldier Summit and the Colorado
line for voters; but there is another ele
ment than that Of the hog il it. By appro
priating the time and the streets, the in
tention is to bring about collisions between
the parties, as it is ridiculous to suppose
that the People will submit to the outrage
and retire from the field during the entire
week. The Liberal managers know how
high party spirit is running, and how easy
it would be at this time to precipitate
row, and a row is what they want, the OBJ
iect being as set forth above
There are decent, law-abiding, peace
loving men in the Liberal party. 1t is
true, they are pretty generally ignored in
the party councils just now, but such influ
ence as they can WELD should be exercised
at this time to prevent the trouble which
the reckless and desperate fellows in con-
troll Of things are SO eager to bring upon the
city. A row at this time would be most
serious affair for Salt Lake. 1t would ma
terially check the growth of the city, and
oy alarming capital would intiict upon the
town another of those disastrous backsets
from so many of which we have
suffered. AL the contest that
5he People want is peaceful one.
and that at the polls They do not nronoea
20 parade with shot guns and clubs as some
II the Liberals are already doing. The |
battle to be fought is one of ballots, and |
lot bullets. At the same time the Liberal |
must not think that the streets |
If Salt Lake belong to them to the exclus
on of others. The People know how TO be |
air and respect the rights of everybody, |
Ind they also know what are their rights |
Ind how to maintain them.
