IT Is A GAUZY TRICK.
Why the Republican party Asks the Aid of
the Democrats.

Liberalism versus Mormouism is the
watchword of that narrow minded crew Of
Republican bigots, vino will endeavor BY
fair means or by foul. it matters not, to i'm
press on the minds of all, that theirs is
naught but crusade against Mormonism,
a death blow, if successful, to Mormon
supremacy in municipal or territorial al
fairs. II is our intention to deal fairly
with all concerned, and If we fit a shoe to
any Liberal foot, that worthy can wear it.
for we have no apologies to offer for tread
ing on corns. Various have been the de-
vices used by the Republican party to gain
votes. They once promised the newly
emancipated negro forty acres of land and
mule; but being of ''pie crust manufac-
ture, the scheme is now failing to connect
as of yore and as consequence Democracy
counts negroes by the thousand among its
adherents. We could enumerate much
done by Blaine's party of vile corruption,
but will forbear, as its acts are now public
property
The Liberal party of Salt Lake must
show its hand, must proclaim its political
faith, and in throwing off the mask will
only disclose Republicanism in its true type.
The outfit is one entirely opposed TO De
mocracy. They are in accord with Grand
son Ben and ''acting" President Blaine.
| No matter of what composed, Wings, Re
publicans or sore headed Democrats, their
main idea is to deprive the Democrat of
Utah Of his rights under the constitution.
The BRskin -Culiom bill is q sample. No
matter of what creed, If you are the of
spring of Mormon parents, you are doomed
| to disfranchisement. For whata To secure
Utah's admission as state, gain all the OF
fees, push two more Republican Senators
to Washington and enact at their pleasure
laws for no other purpose than the degra-
dation of those not In accord with them.
That is the programme. 1t is too plain.
The handwriting ON the wall Is too signifi-
cant Win they do itl With you Demo
cratic voters of Utah lay the responsibility !
Let the August election show the deterrnin-
alton of liberty loving citizens to tramp the
hydra headed reptile out of existence.
Many exist and openly avow thcir sympa-
