of soreheadism at not being returned
to the council, have stood up in his
defense, said yesterday that the letter
published in the morning Herald, so.
Letting Mr. Rich to run as an indie
pendent candidate for the council in
the Third precinct, was a joke or a
lcanard
They pointed to Mr.. Rich's career
for two years past, and cited that il
was his pride and boast that he ha6
been the terror of the corrupt Liberals
in the present council, and done more
to demoralize them than any man liv-
ling.
Was it credible, they asked, that the
terror Of Liberalism should so palpably
play into Liberal hands as to try and
make split in the vote of the Cit.
zens in the banner Citizens district OF
the whole city?

and here is the proof of it,

dressed to voters in the Third pre-
cinct. The following is a verbatim
copy of one of them:
Salt Lake City, Nov. 4, 1893.
| Dear Sir:-Having been requested by
a large number of resident voters ano
taxpayers of the Third precinct to run
as an independent candidate for the
office of city councilman, I respect
fully ask you to bear in mind my past
efforts for the improvement and well
fare of our precinct and city.
! While thanking you for your sup
! port in the past, I again solicit your
vote at the polls on the 7th day of No
vember. Most respectfully yours.
E. E. RICH.
What is the aim of Mr.. Rich in thus
making a spectacle of himself-a spec
tacle enough to make gods and men
hang their heads and weep?
First, he can not bear to relinquish
his seat in the council He wants re-
election if he can get it. Failing in
that he wants revenge on his district
| for not renominating him. Next he
wants to down Mccormick
| There is not wanting, grave evidence
| to show that the Union Pacific is TAX
| ing hand in the game to secure Mr..
Rich's election. NJ
Yesterdays Herald contained card
from some one signing himself David
Patterson, and making the astonish-
ing announcement that he too is an
independent candidate for city coun-
cilor in the Third precinct.
The natural inquiry arises, who in
the name of all that is wonderful-is
Patterson.
The answer is that Mr.. Patterson is
work shops-a man never before men
toned as a candidate for any party!
Add this to Rich's known leaning to-
wards the Union Pacific and what does
| it look like?
The game plainly is to have Rich
poll all the votes possible-he thinks
he can get 400. Then Patterson may
Ipull so or 6O-McCornick's vote will be
cut down and either Rich or a Liberal
will go in.
If Rich needs a few Liberal votes, it
will not be a very difficult matter to
turn them over to him. Mr.. Dunn
denies that he is to drop off-but with
or without his knowledge, 90 or 100
votes could very readily be switched
over to the Terror of Liberalism"
Mr.. Rich has been keeping altogeth-
er suspicious company of late, as yes
terday's Herald plainly stated.
The Herald invites any man who has
been asked, instructed or advised to
vote for Mr.. Patterson to make the
fact known through it's columns.
In the meantime The Herald pre-
diets that there awaits Mr.. Rich only
Iignominy and humiliation on election
day. There may be men friendly to
|him-because they supposed him what
he poses as-the Terror to Liberalism
and they may have signed the let
ter asking him to run. But when they
know all that his running means, we
have no fear of their consenting to be
made parties to any such infamous
bargain
The whole city looks to the Third
precinct to maintain it's reputation on
Tuesday by sending up staggering
majority for the straight Citizens
ticket That it will be found where
it has always been on the National
issues-solidly Democratic-is a fore
gone conclusion.
Although the statement was made
on good authority, it is now certain
that Dan Dunno does not propose to
retire from the councilmanic ticket to
aid Ed Rich or anybody else. Dan
makes this statement himself, and his
word is conclusive. Further than this,
Mr.. Dunno denies having had any
hand in circulating the Rich petition
published yesterday morning, and his
friends will respect him all the more to
learn that he is making fair fight,
and has nothing to do with the trick
SterS. He has attended none of their
dark lantern caucuses, and although
he is doomed to defeat on Tuesday, it
will be an honorable defeat.
Mr.. Rich was out to the Warm
Springs on Tuesday, but there was no
meeting there The Third precinct
marplot met Hank Barnes, inquired
the way to the gravity sewer. The
information was given him, and he
left. That is all there was to the
Warm Springs episode.
But this is all aside from the real
question. Mr. Rich has displayed his
hand, and The Herald now gladly
turns him over to his constituents to
pay him the reward which he has
earned.
Yesterday morning we published a
partial list of those who signed the
Rich petition, with their explanation as
to how their signatures were obtained,
and their unanimous Reputation of the
nefariOus scheme. This is what the
balance of the signers have to say for
themselves
William Yates did not know his name
