VIRTUOUS INDIGNATION.

We were vastly edited yesterday in
reading the screed in the Splatterblotch
under the caption of 'The Tuscarora
Tribe" and propose to comment a bit
upon it this evening. "The last rem
nant of liberalism" is it? The last
remnant of liberalism we know any
the city of PROVO. Liberalism revived
here and in a shrewd trade with the
republicans of the city, last fall carried
it for the unholy alliance. The Splat-
terblotch is unfortunate in it's choice
Of theme, because it cannot point to
a single occurrence since the liberal
party was formally disbanded. wherein
the Tuscaroras acted as an organization
in politics. Perhaps the nearest ap
proach to that was found in the fact
that nine out of ten Of the tribe voted
the strait democratic ticket. Th ere IS
not great deal in name, we know,
but we imagine that what distuTbs the
equanimity of the Splatterblotch is the
fact that the democratic clubs of the
territory, which are formed for pur-
poses Of organization, many of them are
taking the name of the gallant old
tribe. 1t isn't its liberalism which
raises the gorge of this watch dog of
the liberal,nepublican party, bit the
fact indicates the perfection of orgaui-
cation among the democrats and that
means the destruction of the republi-
can party in Utah. And what is still
more CALLING to this ardent new convert
to repubhcanism is the fact that prom
inent, leading and influential Mormon
democrats, seeing thai the war is over
and wise enough to disregard names
are entering the clubs in large num-
bers. The shoe pinches dreadfully just
there.
That allusion to Mahomet's going to
the mountain is also unfortunate.
The less the Splatterblotch has
to say of Mahomet the better, after the
experience he had so lately in the
land of Islam. This experience was
had not with the men of that religion;
they were far too manly, too brave,
and too proud for such association. 1t
was had among the inexperienced
weak and wsyward houris of Ma
homet's earthly para disc. But
this degraded Mormon who was
found unfit to carry the blessed gos-
pei to the benighted Moslems assumes
to teach intelligent and cultured gen.
tlemen of that faith in Utah where
their political devoirs shall be paid.
and under what name. Out upon the
impudence of the miserable harpy.
There is not present, nor will there
be future member of the tribe but
will and would resent this impudence
in the sternest way possible. This
great political missionary is disturbed
because the church organ advises the
members of the church to stay out of
secret societies. How dreadfully this
unclean Mormon feels over this deAec
tion of the members of the church. |
He would do well to recall the teach
iugs of the church as to purity of liv
ing and cleanliness of department

placed in power by the republicans of
this city with and by the strenuous eff
forts of this same Splatterblotch and
the mass of ignorance, stupidity and
impudence which edits it.
The organization of the democracy is
TO be set back by thus appealing to the
power of the church, according to this
special pleader of liberal
ism and republicanism. We feel sure
that the intelligent, manly and progress
sive leadership of the church will de-
eide that this organization, before
which the Splatterblotch trembles,
does not come under the ban alluded
to by the News, At all events they
