THERE WAS NO FRAUD.
General It. A. Walkers Opinion of the
Eleventh Census.


Eleventh Census.
New York ,>Oct 15.-General Francis
A. Walker, who was superinte ndent of
the zenith census, has written a letter
which will be published in the 1nde-
pendent to-day. General Walker denies
the statement that he recommended Mr..
Porter for the position of superintend-
ent of the eleventh census, he having,
on the contrary, favored the appoint
ment of Carroll d. Wright OF the
work performed under the supervision
of Superin tendent Porter, General
Walker expresses his belief that it was
honestly and fairly conducted, while
there are no good reasons for suspecting
the count made by the police of New
York City was not also honestly taken.
The difference in favor of the latter
General Walker accounts for by the fact
that the Government enumeration was
taken during the season of the year
when many residents of the city are alb
sent and by the indisputable fact that
there has been a large influx of Jewish
and other immigrants since June, who
have naturally been included in the
later count.
General Walker believes both counts
to have been fairly taken, under widely
different conditions, and demaAds in the
interest of justice that Judgment upon
the Census Bureau be suspended until
that department shall nave been heard
in defense of its own account.

A GOOD WORK, so FAR.

A VERY good selection of dele
gates to the convention, to be held
next Saturday, wss made last even
ing at the primaries held in this
city. All the Wards attended to
this duty. The delegates were left
10 their own discretion as to max

position was shown TO sacrifice
merely local interests and rroclivi-
ties for the general welfare. That
is right. The interests Of the whole
county should be considered, and It
matters not in what part of
the county men live who
are the best suited for the offices to

their fitness rather than their local.

that will meet the approval Of every
fair-minded citizen. With that, and
thorough work in getting out all the
voters to the polls, We may confident
" look for a victory for the Peoples
Party, which shall give confidence
to all who desire the maintenance
of good, honest and capable govern
ment in this county, for the public
benefit and not for the enrichment
Of office-seekers or reward to political

Is 1T possible to drill a little COM

the contractor and his associates, or
Of the City Council who should have
control Of the matter?
When strips OF the streets are al
ready saturated so that il is impossi-

splashing mud in every direction,
the drivers Of the water carts will go
over those slushy strips, splitting
more water upon them and leaving
big pools, while right alongside are
strips Of dusty road left without a
drop Of moisture.
Cannot the extra and unnecessary
water. spilled, not sprinkled, upon
these muddy streets be distributed
over a wider area?
Take Third East Street for exam

the mud is not so mushy as to splash
up every vehicle that passes over It.

YESTERDAY, at Paris, Texas, a
land Of cowardly whites visited the
house Of colored man and filed
his body with bullets. This is n
truly Texan method Of resenting a
grievance, and shows that there is a
great deal Of barharism in that boz
der State. Where such an element
is allowed TO override and violate
the law, decent, peaceable people
have no protection. Mobocratic
murders are almost always Of the
worst description, as they show a
wide depravity, the assassins en-
gagged being numerous and proper
tionately cowardly. Mobocracy is
increasing alarmingIy throughout

All the widows. about seventy in

WHEN WILL THEY LEARN /!

The Norm american joins in the
senseless hue-and-cry against 'Mor-
mon" immigration, and without
inquiring into the facts wants the
law enforced 70 prevent their land
ing. It says:
Recruits TO Mormonism continue
10 arrive. A shipload Of them were
landed in Castle Garden yester-
day, and after their names had been
tsken for possible future reference,
they were allowed TO go upon their
way. We have law which Is strin-
gent enough to keep out ministers,
and lecturers, and college professors,
and musicians, but for these misguided
Mormon Pervers the doors stand
wide open. The consistency Of this
arrangement is not apparent"
The Newburyport, Mass, Herald,
more sensible than most Of its con-
temPoraries, makes this rejoinder
Doesn't the North American IN
derstand that we have no law 10 keep
out ministers, lecturers, professors
and musicians unless they come here
under contract to render professional
services, and does il mean TO take the
ground that passengers who are nei-
Their paupers nor contract laborers can
be sent back 10 Europe just because
their religious views differ from the
North American, or even from a ma
jority Of the people, though 1t may not
be long, al the present rate ofincrease,
when they may equal in number any
one Of the hundred sects into which
the religionIstS Of the United States
are split up. The Constitution allows
no discrimination in the treatment Of
religious bodies"
When will the journalists Of the
United States learn and understand
that the "Mormons' who come to
this country from abroad are not
paupers, nor contract laborers, nor
intending lsw-breakers, nor GRIMM
ais, nor anything else but industri-
Gus, worthy, God-:earing people,
who desire to become Amer
lean citizens and dwell with
people Of their own religious
faith. All the yards Of stuff that
editors reel Off in defamation
against Mormon immigration,
simply demonstrates their own lack
Of information or their utter idiocy.

UNFIT FOR THE PLACE.

To assert that the nomination Of
Joseph Lippman for clerk Of the
Board Of Trustees, which are to have
the supervision Of the public schools
Of Salt Lake City, is an insult to the
community is placing the matter
in its mildest light. Men who are
connected with the education Of the
young should be Of the highest
moral repute. Under the existing sit
alton this is not likely to be the
case, but no glariRg instance Of the
opposite Of this condition ought ts
be permitted. The repute Of Mr..
Lippmsu in this regard has been
damaged by himself. Last No
vember, in the Third Dis
trict Court, Judge Anderson
presiding, he made a statement to
the effect that 9s9 out Of every thou
sand males who reached maturity
had committed a sexual offense. or
course he must have meant OF the
class to which he belongs, as il was
a question put to one Of his own
kind that drew forth the remark
from him.
The incident created a good deal
Of comment at the time and made
the individual ip question more or
less notorious, and he was designat-
ed as $50 Lippman. We do not be-
lieve the people want such men as
he to have anything TO do with the
OF the moral and
training Of their chill
iren, and his nomination in that
was nothing short Of an
insult to the parents Of the commu-
nifty who furnish the money TO con
iuct the public schools. They do
not wish TO employ such men as
and if the Board Of Trus- |
ICES elect him they will cOnsummate |
an outrage and contribute toward |
themselves obnoxious
rom the start.

no IRISH MORMONS. 8,

THE stupid story is going the
rounds Of the American press again
that, cit Is a remarkable fact that
no Irish man or woman ever Joined
the Mnrmons." The Irish Monthly
has a paper purporting to he written
by Gan Irish nun, in which 1t is
stated that Brigham Young
sought earnestly among Irish set
tiers in England, Scotland, Wales
and America; ne sent his most els-
quent apostles into the highways Of
the world to compel them, 50 to say,
10 come TO his banquet, but none
Of them came" This is stated to
have been "a very great grief to
him.
To save our contemporaries from
further absurd errors on this point
We will state, that there are many
Irish men and women in Utah be-
longing to the ''Mormon' Church,
and others in Ireland, Scotland and
different parts Of the world. Few
Of them, however, come from the
Southern part Of the Emerald Isle,
or from the strongly Catholic por-
tions Of Erin's population. Many
have come from the North. from the
Protestant Irish people in Scotland
and elsewhere.
No special effort is made TO convert
people of any particular race. The
latter-day Gospel Is 10 every nation.
tribe and tongue. The Elders are
sent TO all people Of every country,
class and creed. Perhaps the Celtic
tribes have furnished fewer con-
verts than most other divisions of
the human family, hut the re-
vamped story about mo Irish Nor
mons" Is entirely untrue.

Men who possess big feet should
not lie ashamed Of them. In st.

and a pair Of shoes which It was
SUPPOSED he had left ut the scene Of
his exploit, were brought into court
rs evidence. When the prosecuting
attorney demanded that the prisoner
should put on the shoes, he did so.

sizes too small for him and the jury

THE Liberal, NOMINATION
FOR RECORDER.

The fight for the "LiberaP' can
didacy for the recordership Of Salt
Lake County was lively, almost to
the verge Of ferocity. The unmiti-
gated snub administered to II. 5.
McCallum shows that even the
party Of fraud draws the line some
where in its manifestations Of ap-
probation Of those who have helped
them into power by political trick
cry. The limit is placed at self-in-
terest. In the event Of an unscrup-
ulous or incompetent person being in
the position OF recorder, the inter
ests Of all classes OF citizens are
jeopardized. Mr.. McCallum ut no
time receiveda vote Ofthe convention
sufficiently strong 10 reach one-half
the number necessary for a choice.
Seeing that the "Liberal' organ
had asserted that he and his friends
had been jobbing and conspiring
beforehand to secure him the nomi-
nation, this showing is all the more
humiliating.
The snub was shared by O. w.
Powers, as McCallum was his favor
tie for the candidacy for recorder.
But he got partly even by a coup de
etGt which secured the nomination
for his next chOice-ColOnel Page.
When he saw that McCallum's case
was hopeless, he arose and stated
that he was authorized to withdraw
the name Of his favorite and to ex-
Press wish on his behalf that his
friends vote for Col. Page.
This was a sOrtie into KimbaIl;s
Camp, as the McCallum supporters
were undoubtedly committed to a
thumbs up or down process at the
dictum Of the Powers-McCallum
combination. 1t was evident from
the beginning that Mr.. Kimball was
the real choice of the convention,
but the INSCRIPTIONS political mani.
pulstor from Michigan was equal TO
the occasion and managed 10 de-
feat the real favOrite.
We wonder whether poor old P.
Edward Conner really believed he
could get the nomination. Ifso the
fact that he had net the ghost Of n
chance from the start must have
been a source Of modification to the
misguided man. The "Liberal',
party have shown beyond doubt
that the only use they have for him
is TO head a street parade in the
midst Of red fire and the rattle Of
snare drums. Last winter the chief
Liberal organ used 10 speak
Of him rs the Gladstone Of Utah, -
and the "Grand Old Man Of the
West" 1t was too cruel to thus
tickle the old mans vanity and
then demonstrate the hollowness Of
the fisttery by giving him a cor
poral's guard vote for the party
nomination for county recorder.
A Gladstonisn type Of manhood
hunting a county recordeship is
rather remarkable spectacle any
way. 50 consistency may after all
demand that failure should be the
result Of the effort.
There is much dissatisfaction
among the Liberals, = so it is rea-
&c expect that Mr.. Powers
will soon be at work cracking his
whip and threatening to have dis
senters drummed out of the party
ranks, thus following up the tactics |
Of last spring.
