GIVE NE MY BABY
Another Case of History Re-
peating Itself.
JUD BOYAKIN ON THE SITUATION
There Is Voice OK Wailing in the Land
and They Mourn With Great
Mourn" Says Jud.

street murder occurred in New York City
and a Mrs. Cunningham, who occupied
peculiar relations to the deceased. under
took to assume the character of his wife
and Tor that purpose improvised an heir in
the character of a baby she had obtained
by purchase When the police came to
lake 1t away she Historically screamed,
give me my blessed baby, my dear dead
DOCTORS baby" Human nature presents
ltself In many singular forms and when
one IS thwarted in his wishes pique
ana disappointment develops itself
IN ways as different as there are
individuals, though the same general
principle underlies all of the actions of men,
Inc passing event of which the foregoing
Is an Illustration is the new departure made
py our Utah neighbors in disbanding both
the Liberal and Peoples parties and draw
ing Inc lines upon purely national issues.
Ine Mormon church having by it's presi-
Dent, and other chief dignataries issued a
proclamation abollShlng pOlygamy as a
doctrlnal rite or creed, the Utah Democrats
concluded that the best and most sensible
thlng for them to do was to organize the
party on national lines and permit
one tepuphcans TO pursue their
own course without further aid
from Democratic sources. They have al
ways argued, held and maintained that it
was not the form of the religion OF the
Mormons they were fighting, but relic of
oaroarism-the practice OF polygamy
plural or celestial marriage. The groans
that now escape through the vocal organs
OF the Republicans are indicative of their
! deep seated hypOcracy. In furtherance of
the plan for the organization of the Demo-
cratic party the SALT LAKE HERALD has
! passed under the control of a syndicate of
+ Democrats headed by Il. c. Chambers
eE-Unlted States Marshal f. H. Dyer,
Elk Judge Judd, George Collins, Simon
Bamberger, Thomas Marshal aud j. L.
Hawnns. The price paid was S1GO, 600.
Several prominent Mormon Democrats
! connected with the old paper have nil

Iudlng TO the organization Of the Demo
cratic party and tne sale of THE HERALD
printing Office, the Statesman says:
us the transaction bona fde and does it
mean that the Democrats have determined
to withdraw from the Gentle Republican
alliance and regardless of the consequences /
have determined to hgnt on party lines
without caring whether or not the Repub-
llcans or Mormons win so long as the fol
lowers of the leaders Of Democracy pre-
serve their autonomy"
IL means that Notwithstanding the fact
that the Democrats of Utah acted with the
Liberal party and opposed the peculiar in
situations of the church in Idaho the Re
publican press and spOuters never tired OF
Vllllfylng and lying about the connection of
Democrats with the Mormons, and the more
pronounced such opposition became the
more scientific and.retined became the sys
tenn of lying, and Indications pointed to the
certainty OF their keeping it up for all
time. The Republicans have yet lesson
to learn, and that is ii they want to keep
auXlLarles, vltGperation and SANDER ere
The poorest methods IN the world to adopt
Again, tue Democrats never had strife
VITA the Mormon church or any other 1t
is not the mission of that party to establish
or annual any form of the worship of the
OVerruling power. Ii will leave that dirty
work to the great party of immoral ideas. !
AS mass of citizens it was opposed to
plural or celestial marriage. This the Re-
publicans denied and swore by all tue
heather gods no man could be opposed to
polygamy unless he was in favor of a pro
tective tariff aud would sneeze
when Benny Harrison took snuff. 1t
is very lame and impotent assertion
for the Republicans to make when thew
assert that the Mormon authorities were
not IN earnest when the chief dignitaries of
the church declared 10 the world that
neither po!ygamy. plural or celestial mar
rage would be countenanced. They might
as well assert that the legislature of Idaho
or the congress at Washington made legal
enactments as a joke. No one has the
right to make such an assumption. 1t is
mean, low and uncharltable and the wish
is father to the thought There is
nothing that would give our Republi-
can friends more pain than to observe
this authoritlve declaration lived up to in
spirit and in truth. The ghost of polyg-
amy is their hobby, their pet electioneering
scheme, and now it is transprns that their
wicked little imp, born of sin and deception,
is to be taken from them, there is a voice
of wailing in the land and they mourn with
a great mourn, and cry with a great cry
for their deformed, basterd brat, and
like tue unhappy Mrs. Cunningham,
exclaim, ooh, give me back my blessed
baby" etc. With Mormonism out of
politics new class OF editors and spouters
could find employment in the Republican
party of both Idaho and Utah. 1t has been
their harp of a thousand strings,'' and
they neither know or care to know now to
talk on any other political subject. Like
the old fashioned aJolitionists who went
out Of sight forever when slavery was
abolished, their guns would be silenced
and they left to mourn the loss Of their
dear blessed baby" etc.-Botse Democrat.
