aged the massing at the seat OF COY
eminent of thousands of homeless men
made desperate by republican leg
lslatjOn, hoping that their presenc
would EN- barrass 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 thos
local republicans who have endeavore,
to cast ridicule upon the governor. op
probrium upon the judges and inSul
upon the militia and the constabulaIy
while those officers were engaged il
preserving the public peace and seek
ing to turn back the tide of DOVert,
which was flowing into the territory.
We deeply sympathize with The dis
tTess of our fellow citizens, the unem-
ployed working people of the country
and particularly of those who are
jewellers In our territory. We deploTt
the policy which has brought into oul
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 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
10 The toiling masses.
We denounce 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 ''bimetaliSm"
and 1.-THE enlarged Use of silver" 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 solu-
ton of the money problem and the only
genuine bimetallic policy
We denounce the national republic
can party: For its false pretenses of
sudden regard for the people of Utah
against whom In its platforms and by
extreme legislation it Indicated intense
hostility from its inception. Its simu-
lated affection is co-incident with the
appearance Of possibility of republi-
can support IN the territory, and that
its support was the only cause of its
new attitude. 1t is the unselfsh tend
erness when the spider feels for the
fly.
We denounce the only republican leg
islature of Utah Territory: For its
waste of pnblie time and money in
vain endeay0rs to manufacture party
capital.
For its opposition to the educational
interests of the territory, by refusing
to appropriate sufficient funds for
d agricultural college and to carry on t
according to the provision
Of tn : law creating the institution ali
requiring the establishment of neces
sary departments, and also by endeay
oring to cripple the public schools in a
scheme to take away part of the rev.
enuer necessary to their support and di
vert 1t for the purpose of giving boun-
lies to benefit private enterprises.
For striving 10 commit the represent
atives Of the people, in memorials to
to gross Misrepresentation OF
fact and egregious blunders in princi-
pie.
For defeating legislation which would
be for the general interest but not IA
yorable to republican advancement.
For making appropriations, after re-
using TO give necessary support to the |
in6ti utions and the deaf |
mute, reform school, insane asylum and
kindred institutions. and neglecting |
10 provide sufficient revenue to meet |
the appropriations inconsiderately |
made.
The spectacle of republican legisla-
5ors running away In hot haste to avoid
IN issue which they had raised them
selves, evading the officers sent TO ar
'est them and hiding until republican
majority could be assured, thus stop
ping the progress Of public business in
he upper house of the legislature and
bringing that body into pubic con-
empt, was scene unparalleled in the
annals OF our country, and exhibits
he republican party In an attitude of
owardice and absurdItv.
The republican legislature showed
more bombsst and less capacity, more
;arsImony and smaller economy,
,reater craftsmanship and narrower
than any other legisla-
i've assembly in the history uf the ter
itory.
We endorse the actor of Governor
jaleb w. West i'll the interposition of
he veto power vested 10 hin, by law,
o prevent the enactment of vicious
nd partisan measures and insulting
nd misleading memorials oy which the
epublicsn legislature would, but for
is action, haYe injured and disgraced
be territory. And we recognize in
be governor a firm, discreet and able
Xecutive, whose influence has been
asst on the side of law and order and
be public welfare generally.
We confidently appeal TO the citizens
Utah to stand by and support the
arty of the constitution and the peo-
lie, from which alone political redemp-
on can come TO this territory and per-
