A FAIR COUNT.

Ut is not a crime TO demand after
an honest ballot that there shall be
fair count"
That is a, sentiment which we can
heartily endorse. But it comes from a
source which is opposed in practice to
that which it enunciates as a princi-
pie. 1t lis from our morning contem-
porary, which is daily. endeavoring to
irnpute crime to the Utah Commission
for performing the duty devolving
upon that body, to see that after the
ballots have been cast there shall be
a fair count
1t is beyond contradiction that mis-
takes have been made in the first
count of the ballots cast at the Novem-
Der election. The discrepancies be-
tween the books, the lists and the tally
sheets, which have been published in
the papers on either side, prove to "a
certainty that errors occurred in that
count. That being true, 1T follows that
it was not a fair count. The only legal
way to secure a fair count is that pur-
sued by the Utah Commission until
stopped by the proceedings in the
courts commenced by Republican poll
tfcians.
1t rs mere babyism to state, day after
day that some judges of election de-
clare they made no mistakes. The
proofs are positive that they did make
mistakes. The figures they and the
AZ
yond doubt. We impute no wrong to
them. They probably were satisfied of
the correctness of their returns. Their
errors were not intentional. But they
occurred, all the same, ard were very
common in most parts of the territory.
In cases where it was clear that these
discrepancies would not affect the re-
suit, the returns were accepted and the
canvass made without further investi-
cation. But in others where these in
accuracies might affect the result,
where the election of some of the candi-
dates was rendered doubtful thereby,
the proper. just, fair and lawful course
for the Commission to pursue was to
send for the ballot boxes ard make a
recount
That is not d crime. 1t is the full
flment of the law The attempt to
suppress the investigation, though it
may not be Illegal, is of the nature of
crime, if there is anything criminal in
principle in the proceedings that have
been had. And that is still more mani
fest in the attempt by a morning con-
temporary TO cast odium on the Utah
Commission, and everybody else who
is endeavoring to secure a fair count
of the ballots honestly cast at the cleo
ton for delegates TO the Constitutional
Convention A fair count is demanded.
A fair count must be had in spite of
newspaper, rage, in spite of Republi-
can hostility.

DELIvERER AND TRANSFORMER.

Ignacie, the Ute chief, is reported as
saying he could not understand why
the Secretary of the Interior should
send the Indians back to their reserva-
ton after permission had been given
them to leave. This is quoted by a
paper which raises the query as to
who gave the Indians permission to
leave their reservations
That is all right, and if Agent Day
was the culprit he ought to be dealt
with according to the gravity of his
offense. 1t seems very clear that he
is unfit to occupy the position of In
dian agent, and that some man with
better judgment should take his place.
That would be to the interest of the
public and the welfare of the wards of
the nation.
But there is another question arising
from that report. Is it not mistake
to say that Ignacio and his band were
sent back by orders of the Secretary
of the Interior? The paper which COM
ments on the matter claimed, a, day or
two ago, that no official orders or sug-
gestions prompted General McCook. to
move in the sending back of the In
dams, it was just one letter or dispatch
from the editor of that paper that did
the trick
1t is not right that anybody should
be deprived of due credit The idea of
praising Governor West, who went in
person to the scene of the invasion, or
of giving any credit to Colonel Udw-
son, or Colonel Tatlock, or anybody
else for what they accomplished is
ridiculous. in the face of the claim that
one private message from one private
person did the whole business. Give
honor where honor is due.
1t should also be known that the
same infueptial individual is the great
first cause and only instrument, by
which the transformation" from the
conditions in Utah of twenty years ago
has been effected. What proof is there
of that? Why proof enough for that
editor. For he himself has said it
and it's greatly to his credit"
1t is not generally understood what
a mighty deliverer and transformer we
have sin the midst of u.s. and the
news ought to be sounded abroad, that
the nation may know Of it. If for
nothing else, the fame of the editor
with the champion Cheek" should be
trumpeted in brass, and the finest med
al that can be made of Utah leather
should be fashioned to repose on his
proudly swelling breast, bearing the
legend, "Utah's Deliverer and Trans
former"

EXIT THE GRAND Juar.


The grand jury for the term is dis
charged and with its dissolution ends
me detention of Chief Pratt and his
associate police officers. Everybody
viii feel relieved at the close of this
unpleasant business. In making its
report to the court, the grand jury re-
peat the statement previously made
that in the Investigation of the case
which led to the contempt proceedings,
the prosecuting officer was not the pro-
moter Of the inquiry. It came before
that body through the complaint Of
private individuals and not by the Dis
frict Attorney, who was not present
when the case was taken up and who
did not influence the grand jury in
their action.
That ought to be SUFFICIENT to disabuse
the minds of ali people who imagined
that Judge Judd was the cause Of the
Inquiry and that it was he who pursued
the Chief of Police in this matter. The
truth is the Tribune was the. real
cause of all the trouble that has come
to the Chief.
The grand jury also alluded TO the
course of a portion of the press Of this
city in relation to that body. In doing
$50 it was unfair towards the other por-
|tions of the press against which no
Just complaint could be made. The
cartoon which Disguised almost the
entire reading public of the city as far
as it was seen, and the unjust attacks
made upon that body were all from one
paper, which ought to have been men
toned plainly. in Justice to the other
papers. and the blame laid where it
belongs.
The objections urged by the grand
jury to such action. whether from the
press or otherwise which shall tend to
screen guilty persons or dictate who
shall and who shall not be prosecuted
when arrests are made, will be endorsed
by the great body of our citizens. Each
department of the government should
be left to perform. its own functions,
and neither department should encroach
upon another, nor should public prints
be permitted to lampoon. abuse or die
tate public officers in the discharge of
their sworn duties.
We believe the grand jury just dis
charged is entitled to the praise be-
slowed by the prosecuting officers and
the court. and that it has not exceeded
its powers nor been derelict in its ac-
ton The report will be found in full
elsewhere in this paper and is worthy
of public consideration.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

In the various press comments about
Utah going Republican, and the diff
ferent reasons advanced for the
change, there are one or two facts in
the case which seem to be ignored.
First, when the division on party lines
took place, nearly all of the Democrats
of the Liberal party aligned them
selves with their old party and joined
with the Democrats of the Peoples
party. Some of the Republicans of the
Liberal party united with the Republi-
cans from the Peoples party, but a
large number remained with the Liber-
al organization.
The consequence was that in addi-
ton to the two regular parties there
was still a third party, formed by the
Liberal faction that refused to af-
filiate with either of the twain. This
made the political fight triangular and
the Democratic party triumphed.
But afterwards the remnant remain
ing of the Liberal party dissolved. The
few Democrats in it went to their pro-
per affiliation; the great body of them
naturally gravitated to the Republican
organization. That accounts, chiefly
for the change in the political status
of Utah at present and the turnover
in 1894 from the position of 1892
But while the Republicans, principal
ly from the cause we have explained,
obtained a majority of votes at the
Delegate election of 1894, the Demo-
cratic candidate lost nothing of his
vote of 1892, but on the contrary re-
ceived a very considerable increase. In
1892 the vote for J. L. Rawlins was
1921; in 1894 it was 1866, a gain of
1924. Compare that with the results
of the election in other parts of the
United States and it will be seen that
the Democratic party has not much
cause for faultfnding with Utah and
the Republican press not much room
for rejoicing.
However, the Republican vote ap-
pears to have been still more largely
increased. But this was principally
because of the addition to it of the
Liberal vote of 1892. In that year the
Republican candidate received 1896
votes; this year 21,S23 votes, or a gain
of 1928. But the Liberal candidate of
1892 received 6,9S6 votes, which, added
to the Republican vote of the same
year, would have made it 1881. The
difference, then, or actual increase is
but 1872, as against the Democratic
increase of 1924.
These are the actual figures. Of
course it may be argued that some of
the Allen vote of 1892 went to the Raw
Inns vote of 1894, and some of it is not
to be found in the territory at present,
all of which is probably true. But that
does not affect the result nor decrease
the Democratic increase over the vote
of 1892
With all the causes that operated to
give the majority to the Republican
candidate-the addition of the former
Liberal vote, the recipient of which
stumped the territory this year for the

HINTS AND EMISSIONS

In 2, semi-sarcastic way the morn
ing naper which has been endeavoring
to prejudice the public against the
majority of the Utah Commission,
tries to dodge the issue and to slip
from answering the questions of The
Herald. as to the parties guilty of the
crimes which are charged against some
one. unnamed. The evident intention
of that paper is to cover the Commits
sion with infamy while refraining from
making itself responsible for the at
tack.
In answer to the question who it is
that has been "tampering with the
ballot boxes" as charged by that con-
temporary, it responds: "Of course it
Is perfectly easy In reply to the
question, who is it that is trying to
steal the Constitutional Convention"
II saws: That can be more definitely
stated But it does not answer one
s'easy'' question nor make any definite
statement as to the other. Instead, it
returns to its roundabout and coward
" insinuations and implications.
Every day that sheet declares that
there is an intended STEAL Every
day, without saying SO directly, it in
Inmates that the Democratic members
of the Utah Commission are the per-
sons who contemplate committing the
theft and that they are actually en-
gagged in the work. Such conduct is
worse than that of the sneaking bravo
who hides in the dark and thrusts his
dagger in the back of his victim.
The words STEAL" theft" fraud"
and other Tribune terms are very ugly,

The Commissioners for the Uintah
and Uncompahgre reservations have
been fully instructed by the Interior
Department and will soon be on their
way TO the scene Of their labors. How
does that agree with the prediction Of
cur neigh5or which hates Hoke Smith,
that ne would stop the Commissioners
and hinder the settlement of the res
ervation question? First Hoke Smith
was to be 'in1peached'' because he did
not appoint those Commissioners, a
duty that devolved solely upon the
President. Next he would see that
nothing was done when they were ap-
pointed. What now? Why, ct is sur
mised that ne will stop the whole bust
ness by an act os Congress? 1t is
pleasant to know that the secretary
knows nothing about the attacks made
upon aim by an smpudenl and impo-
tent newspaper out west.

opinion the whole thing could have
been executed in Utah. In these home
