of THE HERALD. Fearing that by chance
the Salt Lake Tribune might reach some
respectable families in Utah, we have de-
cided to write few lines for your valu-
able paper in order to throw little light
on the rotten rubbish sent to the Tribune
semi occasionally by such rattle Drained
dudes as "Milo Zip,' julius and others
of their calibre
Under the heading, 1.-THE bad gang at
Nephi," and over the cognomen of
Julius" there appeared in the above
named rag lately an article purporting
to show that our Juab county officials are
incompetent, extravagant, etc, and which,
LIKE BLIND MULE

and strikes at everybody in general and
nobody in particular. Being acquainted
with the gang through whom Julius" and
Milo Zip (that precious pair gained

them to the public in their true light
The leader Of the ''gang'' is fellow who
has been reared in this community and
fostered by the assistance of Peoples party
votes until he had learned enough (perhaps)
Of the peace. A year or two ago, when the
Liberal party first threatened TO carry this
county, this fellow was holding Office as a
member of the Peoples party, and feeling
that he must either flop or retire to private
life he chose the former course and top
pied over into the ranks of the rule or
ruin gang, - without further deliberation.
Much TO his surprise and chagrin, however,
things failed TO materialize as he expected
and consequently he was

Nothing daunted, however, he took sides
with the Independents, until they vanished
and left him like the sow. TO return to his
wallow in the mlre.
The next chapter in his history finds him
dabbing in real estate, looking upon the
wine when it is red, . and the glass after it
is empty, and associating with the scum of
earth until he gained the proud position as
leader q Of the lowest gang on earth out

Cozen attorneys, disappointed gamblers,
scapegoat preachers, bankrupt dudes, in
hdel dwarfs, street loafers and all-round
buns, who own less than $500 worth of
taxable property in the country and who
never spent a dollar for this or any other
town. A pretty clique to cry about sex
travagant and incompetent officials p
Why, Mr.. Editor, if that element should
gain control of affairs in this country for
one short year, the history OF Tooele LIB
erallsm would fade into insignificance and
be remembered no more.
THEIR MAIN POINT OF ATTACK
is upon our prosecuting attorney, an ex-
PLANTATION of which is accounted for in the
saying: whenever genius has appeared
on the earth, all the fools have arrayed
themselves against him" And so it is in
this case. The fact that Mr. James H.

OF the ring has been subjected to censure
by the most desperate ones, whose long
tailed coats fail TO conceal the evidences
which cause SO much anxiety OF mind in the
tramp gang.
Julius makes one assertion, with which
all will agree, and that is: 1.-The Tribune
will show up the most rotten, corrupt and
lying crowd of scoundrels in the territory. ,,
From which l infer that Julius" '.AIilo
Zip'' and the rest of the Tribune gang are
to be placed more conspicuorsly before the
public, IN which case the above mentioned
feat will have been well and thoroughly
accomplished.
If the Tribune cannot produce from It's
family just such clique as julius de-
scribes then it would be useless to search
the hell and cutters to make up the
crowd.

the editor of the Ensign did not answer the
charges made by ''Milo-Zip's' Office cat
we woul1 merely say for the benefit OF
