DEATHBED REPENTANCE.
Antics of the Political Gymnasts and
Lightning Change Artists in
Washington Over the Statehood
RiII

Bill.
Washington, July "a. Especial 1.-The
Republican political gymnasts and
have reiterated their claim of intense
friendship for Utah so often that they
are really beginning to forget their
past and to believe they have been
! friends of the people from the Begin
ming; and, like the famous frog whose
antics are recorded by that more fam
Gus Alsop, are putting themselves
nightly with an intent to deceive the
voters of Utah into support for their
schemes in the interest of monopolists
and gold bugs. The idea that the Re-
publicans have taken any positive
favorable action in the statehood
movement is ludicrous. He who al
leges it has a prodigious gall. They
are in the minority in both houses.
Their half-hearted belief in the peo-
pie of Utah was shown at their last
presidential convention and the party
came to Congress this time with hos
tility to admission. This hostility con-
tinued to the eve Of the passage of the
bill through the House. The Democ-
Gratis pushing the bill had the best of
reasons to believe the Republicans
would fight it to the last ditch Dur
ing the night, however, the faithful
servants of the 6. o. p. reached the
conclusion that their enmity would be
ineffective in blocking the passage of
the bill, and would prove a boomerang
under the new state. Therefore they
withdrew opposition, and because they
knew the Democrats were determined
to make the fight and to win whether
they opposed or not, they have never
rallied since.
Their lobby here has reminded them
iearly, late and often that if they show
ed opposition they would be called up
to attend the funeral Of the Republi-
can party in Utah, and they dared not
oppose The Democrats credit the peo-
pie of Utah with a great deal of sense
and can hardly believe that such a
ridiculous roorback as this rose-color-
ed story of Republican politicians will
lead them to such a party.

A CARR.
To The PUBLIC

~ AH SoAAS' d.
As a prosecution, now penAiing against me
in the district court for assault and battery,
was instituted solely for POLITICAL purposes and
Sheriff Fontenot. I deem it nHf duty to place
before the public the real FITS Of the case,
that impartial judgment may be passed upon
my conduct and Sheriff Fontenot exonerated
Fl ON all responsibility.
I have been constable of my ward for the
last seven years., elected by my neighbors to
that office. On being informed that the store
OF Mr.. Armand Stage had been burglarized and
that a negro, one Martial Taylor. was strongly
suspected of being the guilty party, in COM
pany with a number of my neighbors, whose
reputation stands above suspicion, I agreed
with them to make the necessary efforts to dis
cover the guilty party and bring him to
Justice.
AS the clue we had was insufficient in itself,
we concluded to resort to such means as is
often employed in similar cases by the best of
men to discover the true culprit. We con-
cluded, after it was we'll understood not to
threaten him with dire punishment if he did
not make a full confession. It resulted, as we
anticipated, in the admission of his own guilt,
and in a statement of facts that led to a dis
covery of the property stolen.
I have no regret for what I have done, and
my conduct will surely meet with the appro-
baton of all men, irrespective of politics or
faction. who are not blinded by prejudice and
who have not axes to grind. I did not act as q
assisting to the best of my ability in the pro-
lection of the property Of my %neighbors and
the detection of a burglar, I am alone respon-
sible for my conduct, let the consequences be
what they may.
