and the executive in different place
to enforce the law. They have encour
aged the massing at the seat OF GOV
eminent of thousands of homeless men
made desperate by republican leg
lslatjon, hoping that their presenc'
would embarrass the administra
ton and convey the false impression
that the party in power is responsible
for thirty years of republican misrule
In this arraignment we include those
local republicans who have endeavoTeC
to cast Tidicule upon the governor, OPP
pT0brium upon the judges and insul
upon the militia and the cOnstabulaly
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
trodnced by democratic congress and
administration. can relief be afforded
to the oppressed and needy working
population and prosperity be assured
10 The toiling masses,
We denounce the false pretenses re-
Gently put forth by leaders of the re
publican party, by which they seek to
deceive the voters Of the United States
into the belief that they are friends TO
silver by linking 1t Withthe heTesy of
protection. The terms "bimetallsm"
and 1.-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 unsophJsticated.
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
tiou 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
legislation it indicated intense
hostility from its inception. Its simu-
lated affection is co-incident with the
appearance of a possibility of republi-
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
stature of Utah territory: For its
waste of pnblic time and money in
vain endeavOTs to manufacture party
capital.
For its opposition to the educational
interests of the territory, by refusing
% appropriate sufficient funds for the
agricultural college and to carry on the
University according to the provisions
IF th3 law creating the Institution and
requiring the establishment of neces-
,aTy departments, and also by endeay-
BRING to cripple the public schools in
scheme to take away part OF the rev.
5nue necessary to their support and d.
vert 1t for the purpose of giving boun-
les to benefit private enterprises.
For striving 10 commit the represent
.tives of the people, in memorials to
congress, to gross Misrepresentation OF
act and egregious plumbers in princi-
Die.
For defeating legislation which would |
,e for the general interest but not IA |
-orable to republican advancement.
For making appropriations, after re-
using TO give necessary support to the |
educational institutions and the deaf |
mute, reform school, insane asylum and |
inbred institutions. and neglecting |
o provide sufficient revenue to meet |
he appropriations inconsiderately |
made.
The spectacle of republican legisla-
ors running away in hot haste to avoid !
n issue which they had raised them,
elves, evading the officers sent TO ar
est them and hiding until republican
najority could be assured, thus stop
ing the progress of public business in
he upper house of the legislature and
ringing that body into pubic con-
empt, was scene unparalleled in the
nnals of our country, and exhibits
be republican party in an attitude of
owardice and absurdltv.
The republican legislature showed
lore bOmbast and less capacity, more
arslmOny and smaller economy,
reater partlsanship and narrower
than any other legisla
We assembly in the history of the ter
tory.
We endorse the action of Governor
aleb w. West III the interposition Of
le veto power vested Ia hin. by law,
prevent the enactment of vicious
I'D partisan measures and insulting
nd misleading memorials by which the
publican legislature would, but for
is action, haYe injured and disgraced
le territory. And we recognize in
re governor firm, discreet and able
IecutiVe, whose influence has been
lst on the side of law and order and
le public welfare generally.
We confidently appeal to the citizens
Utah to stand by and support the
1rty of the constitution and the peo-
e, from which alone political redemp-
ON can come to this territory and per- {
anent prosperity to the nation; !
hich will demonstrate the superiority !

easures of reform it has inaugurated ,

that success will crown our t
