Will Be for the Peoples
Ticket on Monday.
EVERY NAN TO HIS POST!
And Crush the "LiberaI, Fraud AT
the Polls.
a FAIR FIELD AND NO rAvoas
VIII Give the Peoples Candidate.
Rousing Majority.

gle NJ the polls win be fairly over
though the result al that hour ma,
not be definitely determined.
But of two things we are certain
That every honest man who under
stands the true condition of thing
here win vote the Peoples Ticket
anu If there is fair election and al
honest count, that ticket will be tri
umphant.
Ten days ago the ''Liberal,' orgal
made the following announcement
The honest majority of Salt LAX,
might as well know and understan,
that plot has been conceived, and Al
attempt will be made to carry the elec
ton on February 10Th by fraud O.
force"
From that time It has beer a par
ofthe business OF the respectabl,
newspapers Of the city to Law tina
plot bsfe 10 the public gaze. Tn,
Peoples Central Committee hat
been busy ferreting out the greai
frauds of the registration, and a Dor
ton Of the great mas of evidenc.
they had accumulated wassubmitted
to the consideration OF the people.
Hundreds OK non-residents were
placed on the registration lists both
IN The city and outside. The most
notable occurrence OF the latter class
was that registration train on the
X. {. W., whereby several hundred
names were adiel in Registrar
Clute's precinct alone, and all for
the "Li0eral' party, in order that
they might commit the grossest
election fraud In the annals of our
country. The other class OF illegal
voters on the registration lists got
there by just the ssn,e means as that
slip" OF Mr.. Warmers name. This
also was In Clute's district, bat the
fraud was not confined 10 that pre-
cinct But it was confined to the
"Isiherals party.
When these ssLiberal;, reristra-
ton frauds were urcoseSed. that
party resorted % another infamous
proceeding, and in order to accom-
eiish IL placed their registrars be-
yond the reach of the courts. and by
disregardiDg the law and the de-
clsion Of the United States Supreme
Court eoa5ht to reduce the number
Of Peoples Party voters. In con-
nection with this procedure hun
dreds Of citizens were "challenged''
when there was absolutely no basis
Tor such q course, except a desire to
have anything but fair election,
by permitting the registrars to ex-
ercise arbitrarily the power placed
III their hands.
To turn attention from their vii
lainous schemes, a host Of s'detect-
ives" was named, and charged to be
in the employ of the Peoples Party,
when that party knew absolutely
nothing OF such Persors. This was
done TO assail the character Of few
who had been successful in IN
earthing "Liberal' frauds; and as
another step in its infamy, alleged
''telegrams" were posted as being
sent by w. A. Pinkertou, from Chi
cago, defaming the character OF Ger
tain persons. These kilograms have
been shown TO be forgeries, by the
testimony Of Mr.. Pinkerton himself.
These are a few of the conditions
which have been developed In con-
nection with the "Biberal'' plot
openly declared in the party's
organ. 1t is with the voters
of salt Lake 70 Say whether
or not this plot shall succeed.
We have no hesitancy in saying
that every honest and intelligen
voter will place himself on record
against the outrage,
To every legal voter in this city
we say; It II your duty rs citizen
and defender of your country to
go to the polls on Monday and de- 4.
post your ballot for the men of /
your choice. This is time when
every man should be found at his !
post of duty. Be at the polling
places early,s and vote for the men
who will give the city good govern
ment. These men are those whose
names are on the Peoples Ticket.
Quite a number of residents Of
the city have been away on business
that rendered it necessary for them
to leave town Just at this season.
But every one of them who has the
interests of the community at heart,
and who is not absolutely prevented
getting hero, has turned his face

that is facing the people. Our dele
gate in Congress is one among this
number. He was expected last
evening, but failed to arrive. The
following dispatch shows the cause
II his detention, but gives assurance
of his vote for the right on Monday:
UNION DEror. Council Bluffs,
Iowa, February Z. 1890.
Hon, Fld,,klia S. Richards:
/ leave for Salt Lake by the fast
mail tonight. Had intended to wit
ness the close OF the campaign on Sat
urday night, but was detained by a
washout east Of Chicago. God willing,
I will be there on Monday to cast nv
ballot for the Peoples candidates.
JOHN I. CAME.
Mr. Game is only one among
thousands Of our citizens who will
lie found on hand at the polls, vot-
ing for the same candidates. The
Topples Party know that n fair cleo
ton means certain victory for them.
They want only honest votes. They |
DO not need nor will they get any |
others. 1t Is the record Of the party |
that, while some honest |
votes are cast against them |
them, all dishonest ballots are also |
found on the side Of the opposition. |
But this latter class would do well |
TO have a care on Monday. There
is more than empty words in the
following notice issued by the |
Peoples committee:
