The Atlanta Constitution, which
can not be called a lottery paper
makes the following center shot:
1t is certainly a qneer feature of
the anti lottery crusade in Louis
lana to see the stockholders of the
Mexican lottery taking a prami-
nent part in it. Perhaps it woul d
be well for DR.. Palmer to give mis-
own party thorough shaking up
before he suggests revolutionary
uprising against his opponents.
Altogether the Louisiana campaign
beats anything that has been seen
in this country in many a year.
This suggestion is something
that the ants might well ponder.

UTAH DEMOCRATS AND SILVER.

Utah;s Democrats have disapproved OF
CLEvELAND'S attitude on the silver question.
Utah, it may be pertinent to state. will not vote
for President next year.-ODaGhd Horfd Herald.
Utah's Democrats have done nothing Of
the kind. The Democrats OF Salt Lake
county adopted resolution demanding that
silver be restored to the position which 1t
occupied in cur coinage system before it
was reduced TO mercantile commodity by
a Republican Congress. Nothing was said
in the resolution about Mr.. CLEVELAND or
his attitude on the silver question How
ever, il Mr.. CLEVELAND maintains any
other attitude towards silver than that il the
white metal were once good enough for
money it is good enough now; il it were
once essential to the public we'll being that
silver should be coined on the same terms
as gold is coined, it 10 essential now, of
course the action taken by the Salt Lake
county Democrats was, by implication,
q disapproval of the distinguished gentle
mans attitude. But that doesn't matter.
The silver question is great deal bigger
and Of vastly more Importance to the
American people, than any individual can
possibly be and whether or not Utah will
vote for President next year, the people OF
Utah will be right on the great questions
of whether or not a mighty wrong shall be
righted and whether or not there shall be
sufficient money in this country for the &C
commodation of the business of the country.
As to Mr.. CLEVELAND, we have never
encountered an expression from HIM which
would Indicate that be is the enemy to sill
yer tina: some of the politicians would have
the masses believe him to be. His famous
letter did not convey such an impression.
We believe that when the time
shall come for him to speak, he will
do so with the courage which has
characterized his every utterance since he
has been before the public. We believe
that when he does speak it will be found
that he is in perfect harmony with his
party in his attitude on the silver question,
and that no Democrat will be able to find
fault with his position.
But 1t will make no difference with the
party what the ex-President's position may
be. The Democracy of the nation is COM
mitted to the task of restoring silver to the
place it occupied previous to its demoneti-
zation in the interests of the money lending
class. No half way measure will satisfy
the Democrats. They will not rest this
side Of the complete restoration Of the
white metal to its rightful place. II indi-
viduals stand in the way of this determi-
nation they will simply be crowded aside.
that is all, while the procession moves
forward to the goal.

THE CHEYENNE Leader. the ablest and
most influential newspaper in Wyoming,
takes an intelligent view OF the political
movement in Utah. The Leader says:
The way the Democrats are coming together
in Utah sets an example for emulation by the
Democratic party Of the entire country. The
Utah men are thoroughoreds. They know
what they want and they are after il with an
intelligence and enthusiasm which will know nc
such word as fail The Salt Lake county
Democrats have now formally organized They
leave the dead past, represented by the Nor
mon and Gentle fight, TO bury the dead. 1t is
the present and the future which concern them.
and on these lines they must inevitably achieve
victory.
The political movement in Utah is remark
able one. AL the conditions We're ripe for It.
and before people outside OF the territory fully
realized what was going on. the movement had
crystallized into compact, aggressive and en-
thusiastic organization. With the lines now
drawn on live issues with Democracy's polit-
ical enemies looking longingly to the past and
raking over the dry bones of dead issues, the
Democratic party is equipped to march on to
triumphant victory.
The platform of principles adopted which we
find in THE SALT LAKE HERALD. is such as
will evoke enthusiastin commentator from
Democrats wherever they may be.

The CLEVELAND Plain Dealer devotes a
half-column editorial to statement of
the chief points of the recently published
interview with Presidents WOODRUFF and
CANNON. The only comment which the
editor makes is that from the formal man
ner of the questions and answers it ap-
pears to be an authentic interview, pre-
pared by the Mormons themselves and
published for a purpose" We take it that
interviews are usually published for a
purpose. The purpose for which this one
was published was apparent, being neither
more nor less than the getting into print of
the Views of the gentlemen named as to the
present political movement, and the causes
leading to it. The purpose was accom-
plished most successfully.

OHIO SHEEP OWNERS.

The Republican organs of Ohio are fran
tically appealing to the sheep owners of
that state to rally TO the support Of Nc
KINLEY, and telling them that he is their
greatest friend and most determined
champion, but the appeals, it is said, are
not meeting with generous responses. The
sheep men know that they were among the
most pronounced advocates Of the MCkIN-
LEY bill, and that they were assessed for
money to maintain a protective lobby at
the national capital after they had contrib
uted literally to the Republican campaign
fund; and they also know that the price of
Ohio wool has declined three cents pound
since the bill, which was going to do so
much for the flock masters, went into eff
feet. Both these facts are things which
the sheep men can readily understand,
even though they may sometimes
be deceived by the theories which
protectionists advance and elaborate. Be
cause the wool growers do understand that
the MCKINLEY measure, which was going
to make them rich at the expense Of their
fellow citizens, has been followed by ma
terial decline in the price OF wool, they are
not rushing to the support OF the apostle of
high tariff with the esgerness which the
Republican organs would like to see dis
played at this time. Indeed, il some Of the
Democratic newspapers may be relied upon,
not a few sheep owners are enlisting in the
ranks Of the Democracy and saying that
having been deceived by the protectionists,
they are going to seek relief from the OPP
position. 1t is looking for too much to ex-
pect the defeat OF MCKINLEY, and yet the
discomfort among the farmers and wool
growers OF Ohio is such that Democrats are
actually counting on winning next fall.

A NUMBER of letters from both Mormons
and Gentiles have been received by THE
HERALD denouncing the report in the Tffb-
une of Mr.. PENRosE's Tabernacle discourse
as an outrageous falsehood, without a
shadow of justification or excuse. Two of
the writers. Gentiles, state that in the in
terest of fair play, they have written to the
editor OF the Tribune to that effect; but Of
course without avail. The word fair play
is not in the Tribune's vocabulary, and the
writers may congratulate themselves that
they escaped without billingsgate.
