Vote for ERNEST ELDREDGE.
The COMMUNITY SAYS;

Do not we all remember when the Young
democratic club was started, that Judge
BasKin, "the promontory," was for it, and
made speech saying how much pleasure
he felt to see young Utah born men joining
the Democratic party! But queer it is to
see the Judge CRASHING his teeth over the
same thing to-day.
1t seems to US that we recall grand.
magnificent, tremendous roar made by
Judge Baskin when the autocratic Dore-
mus left the Judge skied on top of the
hill. We all remember how he denounced
the Liberal party. Hatchets and toma-
hawks were flashing around. Baskin
swore he would have his revenge unon
that gang. But the street has been filled
up at public expense, we presume, and the
klck OF Baskln is heard no more in the land.
we hear that the fossilIZed Liberals are
gong to scrape the moss IRON their backs
IN order to erect a funeral pyre for Baskin.
BE 1t ResOlUed, That we the Liberal Re-
puoncens, being lot nf beggars waiting
around the table of the Tuscaroras. glad to
PICK up the crumbs that fall from that rich
feast do hereby rise up and assert that we
are no longer chumps, that we will no
longer lick the boots of our Democratic
rulers, but on Monday we will go to the
polls and prove that we are no MANS serfs
by voting the Republican ticket"
The above resolution was, we under
stand, adopted at Liberal caucus held on
Saturday.
Why was Powers waiting around the
Democratic convention in order to con-
graduate each nominee upon that ticket.
we wonder whether we could not get n
reservation for the Tuscaroras somewhere
In the San Juan country. We will agree to
pay them well to stay there and the rations
and hreWater shall be of the BEST and thew
can ghost-dance themselves to death.
NO hn
talk of the Liberals like Powers about
patriotism and rallying round the flag? Old
Dr. johnson in his dictionary defined
patriotism as 1.-The last refuge of the
scoundrel." We all know that this is the
Boss last refuge, and we have ,Iudpe
Baskln's word Tor 1t that Powers is the
other thing
What perfectly ignominious crush was
put upon Mr.. Edward P. Ferry by the
Liberal convention. What is the matter
with him anyway! Why didn't he rise nm
and assert himself? Nobody has anv
strings on him, and the Bosses do not own
him.
What farce it is to call convention to
deliberate upon question that the call has
already settled and then when a dele
gate gets up and tries to argue the ones
man and convention ordering him to take
his seat.
Onward roll thee mighty river
Tell its story TO the sea-
How the grand DID, glorious party
Made this mighty nation free
There was an old party named Baskfn.
Who quaked as the electric car passed him
Who fell in the soup
With ruscarora whoop
AND howied as the Republicans slashed him.
Give US of your wealth and lucre,
Give US pelf or We must perisu,
Give Us strength for good Boss Powers
GIVE US strength or we must perish ;,
But the desolate Tuscarora
Heard no answer to his calling
Heard no vote to cheer his couraee
And he valiant Voier rising
Rose and smote the Tuscarora,
Rose am smote him full and truly,
And the cold and cruel famine
Left him with the hobo starving
