THE PARTY OF HATE.

To those acquainted with the history OF
our territory IL wall appear, on little re-
Election, that the Liberal party is rather a
difficult party to satisfy. 1t has pleaded as
an excuse for its existence that it mad ia
view the accomplishment of two objects:
the abolition of polygamy and the building
up in our territory OF partition wall OF
separation between the church and the
state. Or, in something like its own phras
eolOgy, the establishment and protection Of
the American or homogeneous home in
Utah, and the removing OF the nand of the
Mormon priesthood from political affairs
BY persistent effort it would appear 10 one
of unbiased mind that these TWO things
have been accomplished. In solemn con-
ference assembled the church pushed aside
the practice OF poiygamy. That was ali
that was ever asked of the Mormons: it
was all that could in reason be required of
them. They could not pluck out of their
minds at the bidding OF either tue Liberal
party CT of Congress, their belief in the
abstract moral rightfulness of the doc
trine. 1t is enough for all practical pur-
poses, SO far as the civil power is con-
cerned or society at large is concerned.
that the practice of that form
of marriage shall be discontinued.
When the civil power has obtained that
pledge it has gone as far as it may. 1t may
exercise the right to punish overt acts
against what law says is tue public good.
but the domain of opinion, of belief. it mus,
not enter. That territory must be left for
moral and religious influences; it is sacred
ground and may not be invaded by the
civil power. 1t is only just to the Mormon
people to say that they have ever denied
the charge of belief in union of church
and state.
Only Thursday night, in the presence OF
an immense audience, one of the chief
apostles stated that he never old believe in
such a union; and all through their stan
dard works will be found denial of the
doctrine of the union Of church and state.
But being attacked on account of their re-
ligious faith and practices the Mormons
did organize themselves into q temporary
political party for seif-protection, and
through which they contended for what
they esteemed to be their rights. No one
acquainted with the struggles Of that party
can say that is was not composed of ear
nest and honest men, contending for what
they esteemed 20 be their right. however
mistaken they may have been. The Nor
mon people pushed their peaceful opposition

LIBERAL DESPERATION.

The desperate efforts the Liberal organ
is making just now to get its readers to be-
lieve that the Mormons are not sincere in
taking up national politics, are illustrated
in the following:
This from the DsSeret NeTs: LESS than q
year ago it (the Tribune declared that If Presi-
dent WOODRUFF would tell the Peoples party
to dissolve, 10 join the national parties and dis
cuss national politics and vote as they please,
the Mormon question would be over
Granted; has there been anything OF that
kind doree
Well, we should say there had. The
Peoples party is certainly dead. Nothing
can resurrect it the Liberal efforts to do so
notwithstanding. Everything ''of that
Liberal organ cannot and dares not say
what else could or should be done. 1t says:
Has President WOODRUFF made any authori-
tative declaration Of that kind that any one has
heard OF:
We suppose that nearly every voter in
this territory has read or heard of that
very declaration of President WooDRUFF's,
published in the Times, Reproduced in The
HERALD and garbled and villified in the
editorial columns of the Tribune. And
again:
Are the people going off on national lines and
voting as they please.
They are, and no one knows that fact
better than the Tribune editor, who hates
and fears it, and would like to change
affairs back to the old conditions
Or are they, every mothers son OF them, vot-
ing as they were ordered, Just as they have for
the last forty years: Doesn't the NeaCs know
that after all the parade and the implied prom
Uses, the teachers are going around this city and
around Ogden and telling the people to vote a
certain ticket, Just as they used TO in the old
days:
Every sentence every line in the forego-
ing is deliberate falsehood, known to be
such by the creature who penned it, and
maliciously set down in cold blood in order
to deceive the uniformed and weak
minded. Old Liberals laugh at it, but say
it is good enough to win the votes of COM
parative strangers. We doubt that Even
strangers hesitate to vote for the disfrsn-
chisement Of a great class of law abiding
people. about whom they know little or
nothing, when the motive of the creatures
who advocate that infamy is SO apparent.
Liberal desperation is not unlikely to have
exactly the opposite of its intended effect
1t may cause comparative strangers here to
refuse to have anything to do with the
dastardly disfranchisement plot

IT IS no longer doubtful that the prac-
teal and continuous use Of electricity Is
having some unexpected results. As An
illustration we may state that for a few
months past the Greenwich (England) OBJ
servations have been interfered with in a
mysterious manner. This disturbance
consists in continuous vibration Of the
registering needles, commencing just be-
fore o'clock in the morning, going on all
through the day and terminating shortly
after IL o'clock at night. 1t has now been
determined that these disturbances are due
TO the electrical railway between Stockw, II
and the city, corresponding as they do ex-
actly with the working hours of that line,
the Sunday disturbances not beginning un
til trains were run on that day. The sur
plus electricity seems to become diffused in
the earth, and travels far, since the regis
tering station is many miles distant from
any portion of the railway in question.

THE LIBERAL ATTITUDE.

The following sentences from the Salt
Lake Tribune of July 81, 1891, define with
some exactness the position of the Liberal
party:
Going on the streets we hear such words as
| ''poiygamy is dead in Utah." Everybody
knows that it is not-that lit is just as much u
tenet of our faith as il ever was"
Hence, that condition has not changed. 4"
II propose to disfranchise every person who
belongs TO an organization, one of the main Oh
iects OF which is to extend and m axe perpetual
poly gamy.''-R. y. BdSkiH.
Is there anything wrong in that doctrine?
Is there anything wrong in the PROPOSE
ton to disfranchise every Mormon in
Utah on the lying preuense that polygamy
is going right on. That is tue purpose OF
the Liberal party. Every man here that
knows anything of local affairs, knows that
polygamy is no more. Yet the Liberal or
gan asks the voters of Utah to agree to
the disfranchisement of every Mormon by
voting for the Liberal nominees VIII the
voters do it. Not many OF them.

AID were responsible for the indictment Of
ex postmaster aud Liberal candidate for
the legislature HARRY HAYNES on the
charge of making false returns to the de-
partment but that kind of shutting and
lodging will not distract public attention
in the least. THE HsRALD had nothing to
do with the indictments, nor anything to
do with the settlement of the cases. The
charge was laid before a Liberal grand
jury, of which a very active and pro-
nounced Liberal was foreman, and his
name, in his own handwriting, appears on
the original documents now on file in the
court clerks office. 1t is altogether a
Liberal funeral.

CONTEMPTIBLE-

In all this campaign nothing meaner has
been done than the editorial assertion in
yesterday mornings Tribune that ''Mr. R.
C. CHAMBERS has Withdrawn his name
from the Democratic legislative ticket"
Politics will excuse a good many things,
and campaigns give men license which
they would not assume at another time;
but politics will not excuse willful lying,
nor do campaigns license to maliciously
falsify. Mr.. CHAMBERS cannot be assailed
by the Liberal organ. He is so good man
and so strong with the Liberals themselv es
that our morning contemporary dares not
attack him. When he came out in favor of
division on national party lines and pro-
claimed that be was in the struggle to pre-
vent the theft OF this territory by the Re-
publican party which had stolen Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming, his action
was gall and wormwood to the
organ Of hate; for it knew that the
PARTY which il represented had lost
power and influence which could not be re-
covered; it also knew that Mr.. CHAMBERS,
having made up his mind and declared him
self. he could not be bulldozed and driven
back into the organization which could not
present an excuse for existence. Yet,
knowing how true he is and how earnestly
he is devoted to the cause with which he is
enlisted, the Tribune takes dirty and cow
ardly advantage Of his absence to cast
suspicion upon his political honesty and
integrity, and to break the force Of his
influence with those Liberals who have
faith in Mr.. CHAMBERS honesty of
l.:
judgment BY announcing his with
drawal from the candidacy for the
legislature, the organ thought that

would be checked. that ex-Liberal Demo
