HE'S ALL BROKE UP.

1t is somewhat In the nature OF cruelty
to animals to call attention to the dismal
and grotesque antics of the Liberal candi-
date yesterday in his efforts to crack
smile in the columns of his paper at the
disheartening election returns.
To say that poor GOODWIN is sick is to
put the case mildly. To be defeated by the
votes of his opponents would have been
bad enough; but to be repudiated by his
own party was simply -.
In his ludicrous bungling under the head
ing of Campaign Echoes" he says the
Liberal candidate was not the author OF
the SANDERS of the people here, but that
the government was the author of the
If the reader will restrain his mirth for
moment at this unexpected subterfuge of
poor g., by which he undertakes to shift
the responsibility for his utterances to the
Congress, the President and the supreme
court. he will remember that the only thing
we did against Mr.. GOODWIN was to repro
duce his exact words, with the dates, from
the pages of his paper. Mr.. GOODWIN calls
the reproduction of these extracts SANDER,
and says. moreover, that the government
is the author of them!
Not in all the utterances of Congressman,
Presidents, supreme court or nation can
there be found anything to parallel the
fanaticism and intolerance of those extracts
from the pen Of Mr.. GOODWIN. No won
der he tries to make it appear that they
are not original with him.
He quotes our words that ''the Liberal
candidate tries to make it appear that a
vote for him is vote against polygamy,n
and says with an air of injured innocence
that he does mot know where The HERALD
got that Well, we can enlighten him as
to where THE HERALD got that" The
| HERALD SCOT that on page of the Salt
Lake Tribune of Nov. 2, 1890. There on
the editorial page the Tribune editor may
also 'tget that" and it reads thus: "a vote
for the Liberal candidate for Delegate is a
vote for monogamy as against polygamy.''
Mr.. DYER maintains that the Liberal
candidate reasons like philosopher and
writes like an angel" and in this particu-
lar article there occurs specimen of each
The specimen of reasoning we have
selected occurs frequently in the writings
of the candidate, and vitiates itself in the
one little word we have italicised: CAL
Liberals are opposed to the union of church
and state, and if any class of citizens be
long to creed that makes the church the
abject servitor of the state, the members
of that creed belong to an alien govern
ment, and are not fit, so long as they live
up to that, to be called citizens of the
United States.''
Having assumed that the proper penalty
for the Crime of a so-called union O,
church and state is Acknowledgement ant
that the Mormon creed contains sugges
tons of such union and that the Nor
mons live up to that" he concludes tina
they should be difranchised If all thes
imagined evils are real.
Of course, it was simply heart sickness
that permitted the break that follows. H
says THE HERALD and Ncocs stake to false
hood as naturally as a duck takes to water
and whoppers that would paralyze decen
people roll off their backs as water off
duck's.n The smile is apparently out O
gear. aud the philosophy is awry. False
hood springs from within and is not re
Election or warding off, as the clumsy fig
ure, which the defeated candidate make
10 scruple to stride, implies. We beg t
amend it by saying that the falsehoods tn
candidate hurls at US glance harmless as tn
water that rolls from the ducks back; TO
we are EARNED so strong in honestly etc
We had not thought that defeat woul,
hurt him so, nor that he would lose hi
head In this remarkable manner.
