TIE TICKET.

The HERALD is mighty proud of the
work done by the Democrats in their ward
conventions on Tuesday evening. Every
Democrat who had hand in the business
must also be proud as he considers the re-
suit. The ticket prepared is simply superb.
We say this not in perfunctory way be-
cause the selections are those of Demo-
Gratis, but for the reason that the men were
carefully and intelligently chosen with
special reference to the duties to be per-
formed. The nominees are partisan in
politics, as they should be, and their posi-
ton is clearly understood in this com
munity, everyone of the gentlemen having
long ago publicly proclaimed himself and
ever since stood by his party. This is to
their credit here where so many are weak
kueed and hating, afraid to come out
openly for the political principles in which
they believe, lest they offend somebody
welding lash, or lose prestige in other
parties. If "GoD hates coward'' He must
admire courageous man.
But aside from being partisan the nomi
nees are clean, progressive, eminently re-
spectacle citizens representing the law
abiding and better elements of society.
They all belong to that class which opposes
lawlessness at the polls and everywhere
else, employs its influence and power
against wrong doors and makes decent
society possible. Every man represents
the better class of his neighborhood. and
those with whom he associates, those who
know him or are acquainted with his repu-
tation have perfect confidence in his up
rghtness and integrity as a citizen. We
are personally acquainted with very nearly
all OF the nominees, and are familiar with
| their records as citizens of Salt Lake, and
and believe we express the sentiment of
the great majority of the people without
regard to party when We say that W tn

aged. There would be no suggestion Of
boodleism, no hint of iobbery, no suspicion

that the public funds would be carefully
expended for the public benefit, full value

There would be no hiring with the city's
money of armies of hobos at election time

whom will this Doodle go!''
The HERALD promised that the Demo
Gratis would nominate splendid ticket, ant
most faithfully has that promise been KEEP
up to date. In the long list there is not

1t is doubted that partisan bitterness i
strong enough hereabouts to induce any at
tack upon the clean, able, courteous an

Democracy.
t The wards having individually don
themselves proud, it gives assurance tina
they will be equally careful, thoughtful an
wise in the convention for the nominatio

indications are that it will win.
