Liberal Bosses.
John IL. Zane Takes Up the Preachers and
Uses Them as Fearful
Example

The Republicans of the Fourth precinct held
a rally last evening at the Twentieth ward
schoolhouse. The house was fairly well filled.
Arthur Pratt occupied the chair.
COLONEL MILLAR
was the first speaker. He lauded the Mckin
ley bill. The tariff on wool was fine thing,
and so we're high tariffs in general. He said
the Democracy would soon be in power at the
national capital and that no doubt the nrst
thing they would do would be TO Introduce
bill into Congress to repeal the high scale OF
duties imposed by the Mckinley bill.
Soon there would be no Liberal party. 1t was
breaking up fast and eventually must go. he
fore another election came round, and when
the smashup came, the Republicans would be
in majority in this territory. BY some stranae
soph1stIy he made out that the Republicans
wore at present in q majority in the territory
OF y tab.
AN EPISTLE ON BOSSES.
Arthur Brown said the Republican party wa
party of home rule and party of self govern
ment. When the Liberals go before the people
with their ticket they are led by the bosses not
w1thstanding their denial of it. and the great
question with them is, ~ no is the greatest
boss" AT present the policy OF the Liberia 8
has TO be submitted to the Salt Lake ITt6tne
and that organ vttoes the cnOice of the people,
| takes exception to three of the candidates on y
elected by the Liberal people. The head Of the
| Liberal organ was absent when ka rick was
put on the ticket, but when Pat Lannan -
turned he wanted no Kalrick. I-annan was
| the most unpopu ar man in Salt Lake city. he
| personally could not get vote for any
thing. Now the great question with the
Liberal party was who was TO be the supreme
| boss. Rev. Tiff was boss no pretended to
speak with divine authority and he claimed to
/ be the greatest boss OF the all. The retired
Liberal candidates were but a fair sample OF all
the rest and il il was good to retire two or three

o w. Powers WAS another boss contending
for supremacy. These ruled the party as "bso-
lutely as any Gar. The Liberal party WAS
population we're Liberals and voted the Liberal
ticket when told to do so by the masters
To prevent the 'errttory from being handel

broke up the r unican party was here and
would fight to the bitter emu.
He (the speaker did not expect to win this
| election, but the fact of the Republicans put
ting ticket in the field would show the Ger
tainty that the Republicans were here, an
here to stay and If the party pollcd 90 votes
on Monday there would be no Liberal party II
existence this time next year.

the times and not get left in the procession
Honest men at the head Of affairs was ms
needed in this city.
The Liberal party believed in the adsqe

the great panacea for ali the ills which existe.

JOHN NJ. ZANE
said this was mos important election,
marked a crisis in the history Of Utah. II ha
been charged and repeated ad nausea, tina
many or the people of this territory could nc
be trusted to vote according to their convic
tons. Such was the watchword OF the Ltbers
party. He urged all the Republicans TO vot
the straight ticket and show to the world tha
they had the courage of their convictions. tn
Liberal convention met on Thursday for IN
sole purpose OF telling the whole world that tn
territory of Utah was dangerous place 10 l1v
in, an unsafe place for people TO bring the
wives and their families to and dargerou
: place for capitalists to invest their money II
The Liberals had met to keep alive the strtf

and good will to men" asked God to bless tn
perpetrators of the feud. The old strfes ha
been put away for ever, and these people Wer

s The Liberal party was poor one-horse part
which put itself in a ridiculous light by compa
: ing itself with the G o. P, which for thirt
years had ruled this land and made it til
grandest country in the world.
g 1t was mockery for the Liberals to designat
. themselves as the party OF progress and the

He said every voter should take the thre
, tickets and carefully compare them, and
i could come to no other conclusion but that th

Judging the Liberal ticket by the verdict
y the Liberals themselves it was one which I
g honest man could vote. A Liberal mini ter
the gospel had said OF 1t that there were M
five men on it who would not be the willir
g tools of the saloon and gambling elements, an
/ even worse. The newspaper men who, IL
speaker said, could find fault with almost an
e thing had failed to find any flaw in the Repu
