TELL THE TRUTH.

In answer to q question asked OF the
Tribune as to whether it would print the
responses which the Democratic committee
received to the circular letter sent out by
it to the fifty Democrats set aside by Boss
POWERS to act with the committee Of one
hundred, il TIE HERALD would furnish
them, the Liberal organ says:
We have already published the letter. We
will publish the responses il THE HERALD will
furnish them. As We understand il, up TO date
only one gentleman has sent a negative re-
Spouse. This is perfectly square deal on the
part Of the Tribune. II the whole party had de-
cined the Tribune would have stated the fact,
for there is nothing half So coed in politics as
truth.
"There is nothing half SO good in politics
as truth"
The Tribune has never published the let
ter of the Democratic committee 10 full. 1t
simply quoted from it what suited its own
purpose best So give US the whole truth
right here. And if the Tribune really I'M
derstood that "there was but one negative
response sent" 1t will discover the error
of its way when it reads the correspon-
dence on another page Of THE HERALD, and
it will no doubt correct itself there also.
We give the letters just as they came and
all that came.
Will the Tribune now in exchange for the
truth which we have given it, please
name the four Republican boodlers in the
city council, and the amount of Doodle they
have received; also the distinguished
Democrat who, while suggesting it, won
dered if assassination should be resorted
to as part of this csmpsign, To refresh
the memory of the Liberal organ on this
Monday, June 30.
Gone Democrat who received the secret circu-
lar letter just issued by the chairman OF the
Democratic Central committee said yesterday:
The extreme chivalry Democrats took pos
session of California when that state entered
the union. They ruled things with high hand
and were as c,annish as ever Mormons were.
This mt on until IL became necessary to'Eill q
few Of them, and finally every conservative,
free-thinking, selfrespectful Democrat was
driven out OF the party. wonder if that history
is going TO be repeated in Utah.
And while the Tribune is in a truthful
mood, will it please correct the falsehocd
OhlSASo AZ tAC CHARACTERIZATION
threatening extract that the Democratic
circular letter was secret one. 1t was
as public as q communication OF one gentle
man to another can be requesting him as
member of the same political faith what in
view Of the changed coalition Of public
affairs his present ideas on them might be.
And this reminds US further to say that
in all the letters we publish this morning.
not one bears The evidence that the bosses
nave consulted any of the one hundred
when they assigned them to dc their
bidding. In the estimation of the Liberal
organ, it is an impertinence on the part Of
Democrats TO address respectful letter to
other Democrats asking them how they
stand on certain leading questions, but it
is no impertinence for the bosses TO dragon
one hundred men into a service which the
majority Of them scorn to render.
After all "there is nothing half so good
in politics as truth Let's have it.
