THE TWO REPORTS coSTRasTEp.

the Tribune. As we showed on Mon
day evening, II does not harmonic
with the telographed report ofthe same
speech, and both OF them are under.
stood TO have been made by the ssme
hand.
The Tribune IL In q rage this morn.
Ing over Its own faulty, as exposed In
this paper, and with Its accustomed
rashness, ili.temper and sinuosity, al
tempts to buster and worm itself out Of
the hole It has dropped into. We showed
that Its stenographlc and telegraphed
reports differed In essential particulars,
and We are now told that we failed TO
point out any OF these essential partic-
ulnrs. Well, II they are wanted, we
will name few, and II these are not
enough we may cite n few more:
The telegraphed report stated that
Mr.. Smith proceeded to show that
"Utah was governed by the worst gang
Of pillagers and scoundtels unhung."
II alleged that he called the Federal
officials In Utah "scoundrels, vampires
and bloodsuckers."
The stenographlo report contains
none OF these expressions, and the In
evitable conclusion Ia that they were
invented by the Tri5mos veracious
aud ''most accurate and honorable re-
porter In the United States"
The telegraphed report says that MI.
smith "procecded to stain Governor
Thomas" stating that "the Governor
would veto bills unless hired not to-"
That "Governor Thomas after recon-
mending the consolidation Of elections,
vetoed the bill to give the Liberal
party In Salt Lake an advantage"
Thot "Thomas invented two schemes
for bagging the public, the frst COM
polling every officer TO pay s. for his
commission and the second making
the filing OF bonds and articles Of In.
corporation with the Secretary obliga'
tory"
The stenographic report does not
show that the speaker proceeded 10
"stain Governor Thomas" does not
charge that he was "hired" 10 sign
bills; nor does II say that he "invent.
ed schemes for bagging the people"
hor that corporations are requir-
cd to "ille bonds" with the
Secretary; and II does not charge
the Governor with recommends
ing tho consolidation OF elections, but
states the virtual facts, namely, That In
his message Governor Thomas said:
81 have received letters from citizens
recommending that all elections ex'
cept school elections be held on the
samo day as that for the election OF
Delegate" The speaker then showed
that "the Legislature and every Other
sane man would understand that thi,
was recommendation In favor of the
proposition; the Legislature took th,
Governor at his word and passed law
consolidating elections; but on
its being presented TO him
instead OF approving It ~
everybody expected he would, h,
vetoed 1t; and for the reason The said
that the Liberals had got ready I,
hold an election In Salt Lake City oil
the sth OF that month, and that 4
would be an outrage to deprive them o
that privilege"
The telegraphed report stated tina
Mr.. Smith "closed with peroratioi
demanding relief from these vampires
which would have been hung to tele
graph poles or driven out Of anyw herr
else; but hs said the good people o
Utah could not take this eminentlI
conservative and proper course because
such action would bring down OF
them the blue Jackets In arms"
The stenographic report contains NJ
such word as "vampires," does not IA!
hanging people To lamp-posts would b.
tan eminently conservative and prope
course" and says nothing about "blu'
jackets In arms"
These are few Of the essential par
ticulars In which the two reports dit
fer. The evidence Is offered by tn
exact and conscientious 90 Tribune
which frequently furnishes the abso
Lutte proofs Of its own mendacity.
The Tribune accuses the NEWS o
centre willingness to defend an,
