Z eminent of thousands of homeless men
made desperate by republican leg
islation, hoping that their presence
| would EN- barraSs the administra
ton and convey the false impression
that the party in power is responsible
for thisty years of republican misrule
In this arraignment we include those
local republicans who have endeaYored
to cast ridicule upon the governor, OPP
probrium upon the judges and insult
upon the militia and the constabulaIy,
while those officers were engaged in
preserving the public peace and seek.
ing to turn back the tide of poverty
which was flowing into the territory.
We deeply sympathize with The dis
tress of our fellow citizens, the unem-
ployed working people of the country,
and particularly of those who are
jewellers in our territory. We deplore
the policy which has brought into our
midst large bodies of destitute men,
who have been supplied with the very
means that was required for the sup
port of the resident poor, and some of
whom sought to obtain the work which
was needed by our own population.
We declare 1t to be our conviction that
only by the reforms which will be in
troduced by democratic congress and
administration. can relief be afforded
to the oppressed and needy working
population and prosperity be assured
TO the toiling masses.
We denounce the false pretenses re-
1 tu nf no r-o
publican party, by which they seek to
deceive the voters of the United States
into the belief that Uncy ere friends To
silver by linking it withthe heresy of
protection, The terms 'bimetalism"
and "the enlarged use of silver'' by
which they seek to dazzle the eyes of
the west and the south, are only catch
| phrases to fool the uns0phlsticated.
They do not mean the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
of Is to l, which is the only true solu
ton of the money problem and the only
genuine bimetallic policy.
We denounce the national republic
can party: For its false pretenses of
sudden regard for the people of Utah
against whom in its platforms and by
extreme legislation it indicated intense
hostility from its inception. Its eimu-
lated affection is c0-incideDt with the
appearance of possibility of repubii-
, can support IN the territory, and that
its support was the only cause Of its
new attitude. 1t is the unselfsh tend
erness which the spider feels for the
fly.
We denounce the only republican leg
islature of Utah Territory: For its
waste of pnblic time and money in
vain endeavors to manufacture party
capital
For its opposition to the educational
interests of the territory, by REFUSING
to appropriate sufficient funds for
agricultural college and to carry on I'll
university according to the provision
of the law creating the Institution an
requiring the establishment of neceS
sary departments, and also by endeav
oring to cripple the public schools in a
scheme to take away part of the rev.
enue necessary TO their support and di-
vert it for the purpose of giving boun-
ties to benefit private enterprises.
For striving to commit the represent
atives of the people, in memorials to
congress, to gross misrepresentation OF
fact and egregious blunders in princi-
pie.
For defeating legislation which would |
be for the general interest but not IA |
vorable to republican advancement.
For making appropriations, after re-
fusing to give necessary support to the |
educational institutions and the deaf |
mute, reform school, insane asylum and l
kindred institutions. and neglecting /
to provide sufficient revenue to meet |
the appropriations inconsiderately
made,
The spectacle of republican legisla-
tors running away in hot haste to avoid |
an issue which they had raised them
selves, evading the officers sent to ar
rest them and hiding until republican
majority could be assured, thus stop
ping the progress of public business in
the upper house of the legislature and
bringing that body into public con-
tempt, was a scene unparalleled in the
annals of our country, and exhibits
the republican party in an attitude of
cowardice and absurdlty.
The republican legislature showed
more bombast and less capacity, more
parslmony and smaller economy,
greater partisanship and narrower
craftsmanship than any other legisla-
tive assembly in the history of the ter
ritory.
We endorse the action of Governor
Caleb w. West in the interpretation of
the veto power vested ID him by law,
to prevent the enactment of vicious
and partisan measures and insulting
and misleading memorials by which the
republican legislature would, but for
h SC nd Il |
the territory. And we recognize in
the governor firm, discreet and able
whose influence has been
cast on the side of law and order and
the public welfare generally.
We confidently appeal to the citizens
of Utah to stand by and support the
party of the constitution and the peo- ].
pie, from which alone political redeN
ton can come TO tins territory az.
