long career of power, republicans have
tostered If not originated the move
ment upon Washington by thousands
OF the unemployed. They have inter.
fered with the efforts of the judiciary
and the executive in different places
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.
Islation, hoping that their presence
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 endeavored
10 cast Tidicule upon the governor, op-
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 Door, 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
TO the toiling masses.
We denouDce 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 it Withthe hereSy of
protection. The terms bimetallsm"
and 1.-The enlarged use of siIver' by
which they seek to dazzle the eyes of
the west and the south, are only catch
phrases to fool the unsophlsticated.
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 sotu-
ton of the money problem and the only
genuine blmetallic policy
We denounce the national republi-
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 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 theonly republican leg
islature 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
to appropriate sufficient funds for the
agricultural college and to carry on the
university according to the provisions
Of the law creating the institution and
requiring the establishment of neces-
;aTy departments, and also by endeav-
bring to cripple the public schools in a
scheme to take away part of the rev.
snue necessary to their support and di-
vert it for the purpose of giving boun-
les to benefit private enterprises.
