AGED the maseing at the seat OF gov
ernment of thousands of home ess men.
made desperate by republican leg
rs alton, hoping that their presence
would embarrass the admlnlstra-
ton and convey the false impression
that the party in power is responsible
for thirty years of republican mlsrule.
In this arrai2nmenG We include those
local republicans VINO have endeaVored
to cast ridicule upon the governor, OPP
Dr. brium upon the judges anu insult
uuon the militia and the constaOulaIy,
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 dls
tress of our fellow citizens, the unem-
ployed working people OF the country,
and particularly Of those who are
dwellers 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 De our conviction that
only by the reforms which Will be M
trodnced 10y democratic congress ana
administration. can relief be anordeo
to the oppressed and needy working
population and prosperity be assured
10 the toiling masses.
We denounce the false pTetenses 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 wlJhthe heresy Of
protection, The terms "blmetalssm"
and 1.-The enlarged use OF silver" by
which they seek TO dazzle the eyes OF
the west and the south, are only eaten
phrases to fool the unsOphlsllcated.
They DO not mean the free and I'M
limits d coinage of silver at the ratio
of is to l, which is he only true solu-
ton of the money problem and the only
genuine bimetalllc policy.
We denounce the national repuDll-
can party: For its false pretenses OF
sudden regard for the people OF Utah
against whom in its platforms ana DY
extreme legislation it indicated intense
hostility from its inception. Its slmu-
lated affection is co-incident w Tn tie
appearance of a possibility OF reDublI
can support in The territory, and that
it's support was the only cause of its
new attitude. 1t is the unseihsh tend
erness which the spider feels Tor the
fly, ,o.
We denounce the only republican les
islature of Utah teETitoly: TOT us
ware of pnbiic time and money IN
vaIn endeavors to manufacture party
capital
For its opposition to the educational
interests OF the territory, 10y refusing
to appropriate sufficient funds for the
agricultural college and to carry on the
university according to the provisions
of Tia law creating the institution and
recurring the establishment OF neceS-
saTV de vartments, and also by endeay-
orlng to cripple tie public schools in
scheme TO take away part OF the rev
enue necessary TO their support and III
vert il fer the purpose Of giving boun-
ties TO benetif private enterprises.
For striving 10 commit the represent
atives of the people, III memorials to
congress, to gross Misrepresentation OF
fact and egregious blunders in prlncl-
pie.
For defeating legislation which would
be for tie general interest but not ia
vorabie TO repuul can advancement.
For making appropriations, after re-
fusiug TO give nece ssary support to the
educational inaLi ,r1tions and the deaf

Kindred Institutions. aud neglecting

| the appropriations inconSiderateiy

The spectacle of republican legisla-
| tors running away In hot haste to aVold
all issue Which they had raised them
selves, eyading the officers sent TO ar
rest them and hiding until republican
majority could be assured, fhus stop
ping the progress OF public business III
the upper house of the Legislature ana
bringing that body into pubilc con-
| tempt, was scene unparalleled IN the
annals OF our country, and exhibits
the republican party In an attitude OF
cowardice and absurdlty.
The republican legislature showed
more bonn bast and less capacity, more
Darslmony and smaller economy,
| greater partIsanship and narrower
STATE smanship than any other legisla-
tive assembly in the history vi the ter
rItory.
We endorse the actor of Governor
| Caleb w. West III the interpQsitlOn OF
the veto power vested 10 him oy~fs0-
| to prevent the enact nent OF vicious
and partisan measures and Insulting
and misleading memorials by which the
republican legislature would, but for
his action, haye injured and disgraced
the territory. And we recognize In
the governor a hrm, discreet and ao
executive. whose influence has been
cast on the side of law and order and
Ia puoiIc welfare generally.
We conl de C,y appeal TO the citizens
of Utah to .dnd by and support the
