THEIR GALL. "

Inc more one thinks of the presumption
OF the Tuscarora club IN sending delegates
to the Chicago convention, the greater is
MS astonishment. Was there ever before
such an exhibition of 'gall"l
The territorial Democracy have a per-
feet record, without break or omission.
AT the territorial convention four years
ago central committee was chosen and
the party has since been directed in all its
movements by that committee. In no ac-
llon mas there been suggestion of 1rregu-
iarlty. Every meeting of the committee
mas been regularly called by the chairman;
every convention has been regularly called,
and its membership regularly chosen;
every platform or party PRONUNCIATION has
oeen regularly formulated. And every ut
terance issued by authority has been
democratic and in perfect harmony with
the declarations of the national Democracy
Nowhere in the United States has a local
democratic party g moro perfect record
Besides, back of the organization is fol-
lowing which casts more votes than all
other parties and factions in the territory
com bined. The Democrats did this at the
last election, and the rate of progress
which the party has been making during
the past few months encourages to the be-
lief that in November the Democratic
ticket will receive fully three-ffths of the
votes thrown, and there will be three if not
four tickets in the field.
/ On the other hand the Tuscarora club can
not, in the opinion of persons who should be
familiar with the facts, number more than
couple of hundred voters, and there
is not one on the roll who will admit that
he ever voted the Democratic ticket in this
territory Voting a Democratic ticket
would be sufficient cause for the rejection
of an applicant for admission. The
''partyn Is the creation of three or four
men, who have founded it and put it in
working order within few weeks. 1t is
without q record as a political organization.
Its managers are conspicuous workers in
an anti-Democratic party, and its chief
man is the head and principal manipu-
lator of party which is held together by
the cohesive power of itA hatred of the
national and local Democracy. The news
paper organ of the Tuscarora society daily
teens with assaults upon Democratic
principles and practices and praise of Re
publican doctrines. 1t is even said, though
with what truth we shall not pretend tc
say, that the Tuscsrora boss insisted in ar
alleged Republican convention the other
day that his position as director of the at
fairs of the party entitled him to SAY as
TO the platform to be issued by a gathering
pretending to be Republican.
These facts being known here-and they
will be known at Chicago-is it a matter Of
surprise that people should laugh at the
impudence and presumption of the Tusca
roras in sending a delegation to the ma
tional Democratic convention? Can any
body recall proceeding SO suggestive o.
"galp'? With equal propriety the Uncom
pshgre Utes could dispatch a couple O.
their bucks to the Garden City with de
mand that they be received as represent
ing the U tah Democracy. A dozen men coult
get together today, and proclaiming them
selves the Utah Democracy, name two o
their number as delegates to Chicago. Civ,
them certificates" and start them to tn,
national convention, and those two mel
would come as near to representing tn
Democratic party of Utah as the men d
who were commissioned by the Tuscaror
club last week.
