DRAWING THE PARTY LINES
Th6 Democrats Jump on Goodwin's Frame
with Demand as TO the Force
Bill Question.

1t has been an open secret among the
Trends and admirers of the leader of Good
WINS Galoots, that the gentleman who left
the arid plains of Nevada to escape the
pangs of hunger, and who has since lived
so high as to make him naughty and proud.
that this same ex Judge of Nevada police
court is an ardent advocate of the Infamous
force bill. AS result of this, there was a
resolution adopted at the recent meeting of
the Democratic club, appointing commit
tee to wait upon the Liberal candidate and
demand of him that he pledge himself,
IN case of his election, that he will work
only for Utah, and that he will take part in
no legislation inimical to the interests of
the Democratic party, or for which Dem
ocrat could not consistently vote Good
win has not been within reach since the
passage OF the resolution, until yesterday.
Early IN the morning, the committee waited
upon him and made the demand referred to
In the resolution. The same came with a
suddenness that almost dazed the advance
agent OF the disfranchisement gang, as the
HOOK In his face plainly showed. There was
an air OF business about the committee,
however, that convinced him that he had
better do what he could to conciliate the
others of q similar political faith, and after
silence Tor few mo nerts he finally man
aged TO gasp out reply to the effect that
MS answer would appear in the Tribune of
This morning or Monday morning The
committee told him that was entirely salts
factory, but that If he did not give the
pledge demanded their support would be
Withdrawn and the members of the club
would do all IN their power to defeat him.
speaking on this question yesterday a
member OF the club said, when asked if
they were really sincere and earnest in the
matter Most assuredly. For myself. /
would rather remain under PEOPLES party
rule for the next twenty years than aid bv
my vote TO send man TO Congress who
held such views and who would put them
into practice if he had the opportupity.
The time has gone by when the Intelligent
Liberals OF this city can be led around bv
The Tribune string. There has been grow
ing feeling of resentment for some time
past and 1t is gaining strength every hour.
Liberalism Is dead in Utah, and the PEG
PIES party Is going to pieces rapidly. do
not believe that there will ever again he a
People-Llberal campaign-at least in so far
as the delegate to Congress is concerned.
Inc men who broke away from the Liberal
chalns during the recent county campaign
bullded better than they knew. and the
success achieved by them has encouraged
others who were inclined to be faint
hearted. Dissension is rife through the
the whole Liberal ranks and matters are
last reaches point where there must be
q crash. When that point is reached the
malcontents and strife-breeders must stand
from under''
In THIS same connection, also we give the
salutatory of the Salt Lake Dsmocrof
