MIR. RAMLINS EXCLAMATION.

The NEWS last evening, noting the
remarks attributed by the Salt Lake
Tribune TO MIR. Joseph l.. Rawlins at
Provo last Tuesday evening, suggeetei
that the character Of these remarks re-
auired that Mr.. Rawlins Immediately
correct the report ms published or offer
some explanation Of II.
We understand that by way OF ex-
PLANTATION and correction, Mr.. Rawlins
presents, and is willing to have pub
Iished the following, which appeared
in this mornings Herald:
In tho course Of his address Monday
night at Provo, among other things, Mr..
Rawlins said;
"The Republican candidate has ap-
pealed TO the people In the southi that nc
could not bo n Democrat, II for no other
reason than because OF the treatment OF
his father under Democratic hdmlnls,
tration-that no had been trailed ana
dragged into court like common ielon
by Democratic officials, and put under
bonds TO tho amount OF si5,OOO-lhat
President Cleveland had been appealed
TO but turned deaf ear, and " was TOT
the Republican President, benjamin
Harrison, TO open his big heart anu can
eel the obligation.
81 happened to be present at tue scene
which tho Republican candidate pretend.
10 dopict. Early ono morning found
his father lying upon the floor OF the Oh
fedoral court room upon his back, VIII
his features 30 battered that no could
scarcely be cogniEcd-surrounded ny
Republican marshals aud In the presence
Of a RcpuJicdH Judge. ,,-,
at his request spoke few words IN
HIS behalf, but tho bonds were liked, ono
az s25, and the other at $4,000. In my
opinion thoy could net have been madeso
HIGH ns 10 induce him to come up andfnco
tho punishment which he expected
would DO inflicted upon him. Tho bonds
being forfeited, one Of them was paid,
and the other / am Informed has been
cancelled for small considerations aud
II IA being whispered that that IL roa-
son why tho people of Utah this year
should vote tho Republican ticket; ~ II
the people OF Utah should sell themselves
10 the Republican party for $4,000.
Another gentleman travelling and
speaking in tho interest OF tho Republi-
can party has said, that the people ought
to vote the Republican ticket because
there were more prosecutions under "A
Democratic than under Republican adj
mlnlstfation.
"when Judge Pane was upon tho
bench he did not sit as Democrat or n
Republican, but TO perform his sworn
duty as judicial officer. l believe no

TO be.
bench, II was the came. All such np.
peals are insulting to the intelligence and
nm imputatlon upon the honor OF the poo
pie Of Utah, which they ought 20 tako
pains to resent at tho coming election"
In giving publicity TO the foregoing,
the NEWS thinks II does Mr.. Rswiins
full Justice. 1t understands from re-
liable source on Mr.. Rawlins, own side,
however, that the above quotation IL
only claimed to be ga copy Of his re.
marksfurnished by himself from the orl.
ginal manuscript prepared previous to
delivery;" while from a reliable source
on tho opposing side the NEWS under
stands that the remarks actually made
differed no widely from those "prepared
previous TO delivery" that the subslan.
tial correctness OF the drst quotation
can be established. This furnishes
matter for further investigation;
which, in view Of It's Importance,
may 60 to q length quite unthought Of
at present. In the meantime, 1t may
be accepted az true, We presume, that
Mr.. RAwlins did say ut least rs much
as the Herald says he did; and that
among other things he really made
this peculiar statement in speaking
