Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1891-10-17

The Journals NJ DiScowsss, the
columns Of the DEsERET NEWS, tho
pamphlets and magazine that
have been published by tbs
tens OF thousands, containing the
most patriotic sentiments con
corning the National Government,
have all been printed In vain for this
public defamer, who, In the midst OF q
people familiar with the burning words
Of their leading men In eulogy OF the
Government and the Constitution,
daros TO utter such libel and have Il
printed where Its villsinous falsity Is
20 well known.
But this TRADE by Mfr. Goodwin was
written, like the journalistic articles Of
which II Ia merely rohash, entirely
for foreign consumption. II IL to be-
sent to the East TO do it, vile work Of
deception aud carry its poison Of pre-
Jdicc wbxc the remedy Of the truth
will lind difficulty Of access.
On this foundation Of falsehood
the argument" is based which Is de.
signed TO show that the people Of Utah
are not III for statehood. There are ad.
missions that some Improvement. have
been made, but they are In the nature
Of accusations concerning the past, Of
the same nature as those which
we have noticed. And the
excuse for the whole address
lies Ia the insinuation that
the Enormous" have made overturcs
10 certain Democrats and Republicans
with a view TO securing immediate
statehood for this Territory. The gen.
tleman named, ss well NJ the "Mof-
mon" people, know how baseless this
assertion Il, but people abroad do not,
and II Is for their delusion that II has
been male. There IL no agitation at
present among either "Mofmons" or
"Gentiles, +" Democrats or Republicans
IN reference to immediate statehood.
But the course taken by the "Mor.
mon" people has dlsarmcd their
consistent opponents and opened
the way for that peace and union
which must eventually result In polltl-
cal freedom for Utah, and such anti
"Mormon" manincs as &. q. Goodwin
are rushing frantically 10 the front to
fight something that every well bal
Anccd mind ought to view with patrl.
otto satisfaction.
All his predictions concerning n
"NIormon" State aud "Mormon"
officials, In n community 20 mixed Rs
ours and 20 definitely divided on party
lines, are hut phantasic. Of u disoricrcd
Imagination, induced by bad digestion
and that monomanla which now agi.
tate- Mr.. Goodwin In place Of his
former anti.Caiholic fanatlcism.
II there are any people "who do not
want any office, +" who are "sccking for
no personal advantages" who possess
all the virtues and good Intentions he
describes and who oppose Statehood
for Utah out OF good feelings toward
the "Aiormons," II Is certain that no In
not one Of the number. His efforts TO
gain an Office by misreproscnting the
opposing candidate anu his chagrin
over his signal failure arr matters Of
common comment. And his perpetual
wants and endeavors TO procure per.
sonsl advantages are almost IN widely
known. while his malice and men.
daclty In reference to the "Mormon"
people aud their leaders, who have
never done him any harm, are patent
10 nil and only make tho more con.
spicuous the Hypocrisy revealed In his
perorntion.
The lecturer IL either the most pro-
fouudly Ignorant person rs regards
"Mormon" affairs In Utah, or he has
the most reckless disregard for truth
and Cor the exposure Of his amazing
perveruion Of the facts OF Utah history
aud the published creed Of It's people,
Of any Individual who ever made u
public address. The =. o. ). Of A.
have inside u wretched beginning.
IL 10 be hoped that their further enter
tainments may 10 more worthy Of the
respect OF the public.
