The Dispatch. [volume] (Provo City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1891-08-15

] mean the party Of destruction. which
calls itself Liberal" while it is be-
coming yearly more and more illiberal;
so much SO that ! doubt whether in its
ranks can be found corpoi ais guard
of Liberals-such as they are generally
understood in the United States, where
a Liberal is secularist, not sec
tartan; thinker. not bowler; a pro-
greSsionist, not an obStructiOniSt. In
fact, ! am certain that vast majority
of ap0state Mormons, who rarely, if
ever, cUnScientiously join another
church or creed Except it be Spiritual
ism. after leaving the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints-have given
up in disgust ali and any alliliatiOn
with the Liberal party, so-called.
which now has nothing positive or
noble to fight for, and only the Nor
mon church and people to fight against,
while forming the most heterogeneous
conglomeration OF Infdels, lnfallibTT-
! lists, Materialists, Methodists, Agnos-
tics and Baptists that was ever put
under one hat-Or FOOLS cap.
While referring to the Liberal"
party, which has no reason to exist eX-
cept its hostility TO the Mormon peO-
pie. / will just quote a little phrase
/ the Peoria Demokrot (German) put in
! its Associated Press report about the re-
cent elections in Utah, under date of
Salt Lake City, Aug. 4. " Full reports
of Yesterdays elections show that the
! Liberals (,chGterer that mag mean have
elected twelve members of the Legisla-
tuIe, three in the the Council and six"
in the House OF course, the six" is
a typographical error for nine and l
am not picking that out, but pointing
! to the clause italicized by me: "What-
! ever that may mean.
! continue translating According
to another dispatch; the Liberals have
conquered the city by 900 majority.
And from Ogden city, the telegram
reads: "rhe Democrats have won the
day, against the united efforts Of the Lib
erals and Republicans. ?"
Again l did the italicizing. But any
reader will do the thinking, and the
more so, if they learn that the staunchly
Democratic publishers of the Peoria
Demokrdt B. Cremer q Bros are pretty
well posted on Utah affairs, having paid
this territory more than one visit, the
result of one of which is reported on
pages 100 to l02 OF Vol. II of my "As
You Like lt''-a little tome which, by
this time, hope, has good many more
| friends among the lovers of good liter
ature in the.beautiful Garden City than
it enjoyed a week ago, ere l vas so
greatly and grandly favored by Provo
hospitality.
Note well.-"The united efforts of
the Liberals and Republicans. Now, |
who were the traitors? l ask once
more. Who ''sold out2" Who stabbed /
their allies in the back with Apache I
treachery? No wonder that to the out
slider the term Liberal appears as an
undetinable nOndescripS, as a question:
able, whatever that may mean"
Maybe the Messls Cremer failed to
keep posted on the recent situation by
such solid Democratic-Liber Cor Lib
eral-Democrat,) as ex-Mayor F. j. Kie-
sci, of Ogden, and Legislator-elect
labob Moritz, of Salt Lake City. Or
1iss the con- o. non ~ 80 p So, OF
tbs connection break? Let ''the small
band of desperate fugitives" in the vale
of Khorassan answer for themselves.
From the same issue Of the Peoria
Demokrat August 6th) l also CLEAN an
item that may have some reminiscent
interest for majority of THE DISPATCH
readers. It tells of recent visit of
Bishop Spaulding to NauvUO, H.,
where Rev. Reimbold celebrated his
silver priesthood anniversary, hav ng
served the Catholic congregation of that
city as spiritual adviser for twenty-five
years. The gentleman's family immi-
grated from the old Rhine cathedral
city Cologne about fifty years ago and
settled at Nauvoo after a sort sojourn
at St. Louis. The aged mother OF Rev.
Reimb0ld is still alive and is living
with him in the residence which the
Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith, erected
before the exodus At least so says the
Demokrat Possibly some former resi-
dents Of Nauvoo may remember the
family, which certainly was of some
prominence even at that early date.
But, TO come nearer home. | think
it may please your fruit-raiserS at
Provo, Pleasant Grove and other pOmo-
logical paradises to learn that our lead ,
ing paper is considering their las well
as our OWN welfare. Although the
WGSatch Ware has not yet declared its
stand on national politics tthe editor /
being a Democrat, however and the
foreman Republican,, the paper APP
pears to believe in free trade, as may
be judged from the following extract,
which meets the hearty support and
loud echo OF Wasatch county people.
Peddlers are beginning to dump Utah county
fruits into the Provo valley cellars but not
so lively as they would were it not for the Ii
cenSe which is placed upon their business. ,
II the license were so arranged that man
could peddle what he raises without having to I
pay for the privilege, ii would be great ad- /
vantage 10 the consumers, for, as it is the ]

fruit
That fruit license benefits the county
Tor towns) but little, while working a
harm to the general public, as do all {
Chinese walls in the shape of protec- /
ton or any other tariffs. '
This same paper takes up the Gu dgel C
N behalf Of Hon. Abram Hatch as to i
whose ultimate fate at the ballot boxes v
If August Sd, we are yet in uncertainty
up our way. 1t appears the Price Tele I
nah made some unmannerlY and un- a
manly remarks about Mr.. Hatch, re- h
lee ing with ill-disguised and ill-bred Y
bitterness upon his manhood, individ v
lality, integrity and Americanism." Y
The Ware very properly repulsed these
of the Emery county paper. -
as The DISPATCH has already =
,pent quite little space on Wasatch y
county politics-ours having been !,
about the closest and toughest fight of I
he campaign-I deem it only just TO :
Mr. Hatch to indorse from my "Inde- =
pendent Democratic" standpoint the
eGarks of the Ware: e
Even though the Wasatch candidate has l
,ech beaten he has consolation in the fact p
hat after serving as a Legislator for nearly I'll
uarter OF century his services have been !,
olicited by all parties without his declaring =
imself for either. "
1t is equally true, too, that, inasmuch Ct
S it was limited that Hatch had a W
for the office, which is false. az
)yer & year ago he made a statement u
hat he would not go to the Legislature "
gain, but when appealed to by the peo- d
lie of WaSatch he relented and said:
Is a last resort, to insure us a repre- NJ
entation in the Legislature, | will ac dt
ept the nomination, but not as a Dem te
Graf or as a Republican. Now, OF It
curse, if there was anv iTregularity, la
