THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

The Herald has heretofore presented
vital reasons why the people of Salt
Lake city should support the Demo-
cratic legislative ticket; we have not
seen any reason presented why they
should not. Three Liberals in the up
per and six Liberals in the
lower branch Of the legisla-
body. but great deal of harm to
every cause and interest that Utah has
lat stake.
But man for man., says the Tri-
bune '1et us compare them We
surely have no objection to that. Even
were the Liberal candidates superior
in every way, there would be no ex-
cuse for anybody voting for them,
since they belong to a party that in
every stronghold it has heretofore pos
sessed-as Ogden and Park City-has
officially declared itself dead for all
political usefulness. Why should any
body in this particular vicinity be
lanxious to preserve it on ice for anoth-
er winter?
But returning to the man for man
proposition; let US see: For the
council Farley L. Williams heads the
Democratic list and E. w Taylor the
Liberals. The mere mention of the two
names side by side ought to be suffi-
cient AS well compare the oak with
the willow, or Ensign peak with the
Liberal grade on Brigham street.
For all that anybody knows to the con-
trary Mr.. Taylor is a right respecta-
BILE person, and if he has the sense
that any legislator should possess he
will be the first one to recognize the
vast dispara cement between himself
and his towering opponent, even
though he has not sense enough to re-
sign in his favor, as he should.
James H. Moyle and P ]. Moran are
he next two councillors on the list
With all due respect for Mr.. Morans
ambition. which is the only remarka-
bic quality about him, what earthly
claim has he to election? When he was
a wage Garner there were a thousand
others superior to him who never had
a chance to ask for recognition, while
he had scarcely come here before he
ran for the legislature, then for the
city council, next for the Office of sec
rotary of the territory on the Tusca-
rora slate, and is today still a perpet-
ual candidate for another Office. Has
he a friend anywhere who is rash
enough to declare that Moran could
draw up bill, or grasp the meaning
|of a law, or carry conviction with him
in any argument? Why then should
he be chosen? Surely in a city full
of intelligent wage workers-which by
the way he has long ceased to be
the standing candidacy of a Moran is
nothing short of an insult Shall we
compare him with Moyle? We fear
even the Tribune might cry out that
comparisons are odious.
Isaac NJ. Wadden and H. E. Booth
oppose each other. Sufficient be it to
say at present, that there was an in
methods of certain commissioners, and
that in consequence, Chief Justice
Zane fired" three of them, notwith-
standing one of them protested that
he would resign anyway; and it ap-
peared, furthermore. in the investiga-
ton that that one particular commits
sioner was likewise a member of a
firm of lawyers that was suing poor
people by the Observation-Disclosures of
them every mountaineering forms
signed in blank for that purpose ready
to serve on defendants" 1t is I'M
necessary to say that one of the two
candidates was that particular com
missioner, and that his name was not
Isaac M. Waddell. Waddell is alto
gether a different man and lawyer
A delegate in the Liberal conven-
ton insisted that the legislative ticket
be nominated before the municipal
ticket. because he feared that there
wouldn't be enough fit men left for
the former, and, judging from the
votes on this proposition, a great many
delegates held to the same views. The
result proves the wisdom of the gen
tleman. He ought to have a place of
honor when the interment of the Lib
eral party takes place.
