ELI OPENSHAW,

We delight when an opportunity
comes legitimately for US to speak Of
the above named, honest and honored
gentleman. 1t is duty to do it in
this case. Here is a man who for two
years has filled one Of the most respon-
sIble and important Offices in the coun-
ty, and who has filed it well. accept
ably to his party and to the taxpayers
of Utah county, or else he never would
haYe received a renomin alton by accla
nation. The Enquirer has reYiled him
all through his term and with the re-
suit we have named above: renomin.
ation, land we doubt not reelection tri-
umpbantly. This generally follows to
those whom it reviles, but to this man it
would have come without such assist
ance because he has won it by his
splendid services, by his integrity, by
his efficiency and thoroughness in
Office, by his unfailing, gentle courtesy,
by his modest demeanor and excellent
general character. If any man in pub.
lie Office in Utah county has by his
faithfulness fairly won reelection that
man is surely Mr.. Levi Openshaw. We
hope to see him reelected by a very
handsome majority and not for one
moment have we doubted that he
would be.
For entire accuracy, We will put his
books against any collectors in
Utah. Nor will the people soon
forget his generous forebear-
ance with the poorer tax payers
of the county. At time of universal
financial distress this humane and
kindly-hearted officer extended every
indulgence consistent with the good of
the service, thus making it possible for
all to pay with the minimum sum of
distress following. Utah county will
be fortunate if all her officers, in the
future, are fashioned upon such models
as Openshaw. We glory over the record
he has made and this is the way the
entire county feels abou. it. At his
home in SantaQuin Mr.. Openshaw's !
word is as good as bond. Itls a good
'ign when ones closest neighbors
lonOr and respect him. This is the
,ase with this man, and the rule holds
randly good in this case.

JAMES h. HALL.

Bluff. square, bighearted "Jim"nall.
now mayor of Springville, is the regu-
lar democratic nominee for assessor
aud will be elected, too, by a big
majority. He is another of the fortu-
nate candidates who possess the hostili-
ty of the Enquirer. That paper speaks
of him as winning the enmity of
the people during previous
term in the same office, for excessive
valuation. That assessment con,pared
with the present valuation would seem
excessive, but it was made during boom
times and when property was really
worth more than it is now
by far. However the complaints
were all made by members Of
the same party which is now |
b1sY fighting the income tax and who
are opposed to taxing the rich at all.
and is in favor of placing all the bur
dens of government upon the bowed
backs Of the poor.
Mr.. Halls familiarity with the
geography of the county, his
large acquaintance with the people.
with the value of real estate aud the
situation generally, all point to him as
he very man for this Office. Indeed

JOSEPH f. SMITH, john Henry Smith
and Judge Goodwin ali OF the same
political stump is sight which ought
to make the gods weep, and leap and
creep for joy. The sight will awaken
OF the past and men will
be apt to ask, were they honest, years
back? 1t SO, are they honest now?
And the answer will be unsatisfactory
let it be what it may. The change is
too great, tao sudden, too violent and
covers too much territory to be very
honest or very reassuring and it seems
as if Goodwin had the best of it all
