EXPLAINING THE DEFEAT.

Men do not like to be beaten in ANY,
thing and when beaten they seek ex-
plantations not so much to find the
causes of their defeat as to let them
selves down easy and apply balm to
their wounded feelings. Last Tuesday
the Democrats throughout the United
States were beaten, and beaten badly.
beaten as badly as the Republicans
were two years ago.
Two years ago the Republicans ac-
counted for their defeat in this way
and that way, gave this explanation
and that explanation. The Democrats
smiled at this and good humoredly
chaffed them and told them that while
their explanations were all that the
most astute mind could ask. that
While they were subtitle and no doubt
honestly made, yet they were lacking
in that one essential element that
would carry conviction to all who
heard them-ti1e true cause.
The Democrats volunteered to tell
them what it was-lack of votes. That
was the true cause and we Democrats
recognized it as such at that time. We
have changed places with the Repub-
licans; it is their turn to smile now.
ours to give explanations. What we as
signed as the true cause of the defeat
of the Republicans two years ago-lack
Of votes-was the true cause of it. 1t
is the cause of our defeat today.
Nothing can be more puerile, more
contemplate than Chewing the rag
now. There is no time so useIesslv
wasted as that spent in crying over
spilled milk. If the real causes of our
defeat in Utah, the causes which in
duced the majority of the voters to
cast their ballots for the Republican
rather than the Democratic ticket, are
patent and palpable, they are the very.
causes of which we should take par
ticular note and see that they do not
exercise the same influence in the next.
campaign that they have in the past
one
In explaining the Democratic defeat
in Utah, do not lose sight of the fact
that the Republicans have invaded
Democratic strongholds in sections of
the country that We're thought to be
impregnable, and have carried them.
Why should Democrats be discour-
aged? Their principles are the correct
principles in government and always
will be. Their fight for tariff reform is
the fight for industrial freedom, and its
adherents should rally to its standard
now more than ever We have been
defeated, let US not be discouraged.
Let us be men, let us be philosophers,
above all let us be Democrats.

PRAISE FOR SALT LAKE..

The Denver News of Thursday con-
tains an editorial on Salt Lake City,
from which the following is taken
During the past week Two banking
concerns at Salt Lake City received
from the East 81, 600 to be placed on
city and ranch property. This speaks
we'll for the coming state of Utah. and
shows that Salt Lake City. ultra con-
servative in its business methods, has
gained from her taxes. In no city of
its size in the West is the valuation of
property more conservativeiy based.
while the total tax levy is also low for
school. city, county and territorial pur-
poses.
This is complimentary. but does not
cover the whole case While taxes are
comparatively low the fact remains
that the city is heavily in debt and con-
tinues to pile up the debt at the rate of
a hundred thousand dollars or more a
year. Itis neither good business man
agement nor economy on the part of
those in charge of the city affairs to
allow such a state of things to con-
tinue. All these debts must be paid
some time and they will have to be
paid through taxation The longer
making provision for their payment is
deferred the heavier will be the burden
to be borne and the harder to bear. If
the City Council had been courageous
enough to meet the situate when they
took control of city affairs. there would
have been no necessity to have in.

The Chicago Herald, one of the best
Democratic papers in the country.
speaks of the Democratic defeat and
its causes in these terms: Democrat
&c defeat results Immediately from de-
plorable and inexcusable divisions in
the party ranks and more remotely
from q. series OF blunders at Washinga
ton, in which Grover Cleveland was
the master spirit of evil If he had had
a proper appreciation of the foe that
was TO be encountered when the Dem
ocratio party set out TO destroy the
protective tariff robbers of this coun-
try he would have summoned Congress
in March. 1893. II that had been done.
the mandate of the people, as given in
the elections of 1890 and 1892, would
have been far more potent than it was
in 1896. when Congress tardily got to
work on the Wilson bill; and many
man who. this year, sulked or held
back or openly traded with the enemy,
would have been in line doing royal
service in the cause Of reform.

people were anxious to know how it
was received. Word came from Wall
street, the great monetary center of the
country, that it rejoiced over the result
of the election. Why did it rejoice?
1t takes no special interest in high or
a low tariff; its whole interest is in
money. It's fear has been that silver
would receive that recognition from the
Democratic party that the West de-
mands. The Republican victory allays
this fear and Wall street rejoices.
Wall street is for a gold standard
and that alone 1t now has the as
surance that it will continue to have
it and that the agitation for silver will
receive no encouragement from the
Republicans. 1t no doubt anticipates
that the victory of 1894 will be repeated
in 1896. 1t will use all it's influence to
prevent the incorpora ton Of any silver
plank in the Republican platform, and
that influence will be great and pre-
panderating.
What has the Republican party been
doing with the silver states for the
past few years on the question that
most concerns. them? It has been flirt-
ing with them, having no serious inten-
tons at any time.
But there is no need for this seeming
friendliness in the future. 1t has be-
come strongly intrenched in the East
where the gold sentiment reigns
supreme. The significance of this is
that the East is bitterly hostile to sill
yer and will tolerate no concessions to
it. The Republican party will be COM
PEELED to bow to this gold sentiment if
it is to maintain its supremacy there
And it will bow to it, and bow grace
fully and willingly. The views of the
East on the monetary question are the
views of Wall street and they have
triumphed in the victory Of the Re
publican party.
This is what the result of the cleo
ton means so far as silver is concerned
There is no promise of hope in it for
the friends of silver. The issues in 1896
will be financial ones. If the Republi-
cans win, gold will be the monometallic
standard.

Weber county has made a magniti-
cent showing in the face of great odds.
A majority of Democratic delegates to
the constitutional convention are cleo
ted, and all the county officers but the
collector and selectmen are Democrats.
Every one of Weber county's warriors
fought nobly and they deserve just as
much glory and praise as though they
had won. the complete victory for
which they commended. Just consider
what they have achieved and also the
time, energy, and means they have ex-
pended in the good cause.

creased the city's debt this year. They
were confronted with a problem it is
true, but they had the means, of solving
it in their own hands; that means was
the taxing power. But they dared not
use it, neither dared they to cut the
|city's expenses so that they would be
covered by its revenues.
But we are glad to have good words
spoken of our city, for she is deserving
|of them. Her record during the panic
is one of which she may we'll be proud
Her resources are amply sufficient to
wipe out all her Indebtedness, and she
will yet clear herself of all her liabili-
ties.

THE LARGEST CITIES.

Please answer following questions
through columns of The Herald: Which
is second largest city in the world in
regard to population? Has Chicago
passed New York in point of popula-
ton? Respectfully,
CHARLES ODD.
London is the largest city in the
world. having in 1892, a population of
4,231,431. Paris came next with 2,447,
957.
New York in 1892 had a population of
1,S01,739; Chicago 1,099S59. A school
census, however, taken in Chicago in
1892 revealed an estimated population
of 100000.
The population of the territory en-
braced within the limits Of Greater
New York" as proposed by the COM
mission, is over 100000. If the ques-
ton lately voted on is decided in the
affirmative, New York will have a pop
ulation of 100000, which would give
the metropolis the rank of the second
city in the world.
