and the executive in different places
to enforce the law. They have encour
aged The massing at the seat OF GOV
eminent of thousands of homeless men
made desperate by republican leg
lslation, hoping that their presence
would embarrass 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 those
local republicans who have endeavoret
TO cast ridicule upon the governor, OPP
probrium upon the judges and insult
upon the militia and the conStabulaIy
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 symDathize with The dis
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 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 'bimetallsm"
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 he only true solu
ton of the money problem and the only
genuine bimetallic policy.
We denounce the national republi-
can party: For it's 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-incideDt with the
appearance of possibility of reDubl-
can support In the territory, and that
its support was the only cause Of its
new attitude. 1t is the unseltish tend
erness when the spider feels for the
aY,
We denounce the only republican leg
waste of pnblic time and money In
vain endeavors to manufacture party
Capital
For its opposition to the educational
interests of the territory, by refusing
to appropriate sufficient funds for
agricultural college and to carry on t
according to the provision
Of tn law creating the institution an
the establishment of neces
sarV departments, and also by endeav
Oring to cripple the public schools in a
scheme to take away part of the rev.
snue necessary to their support and dl-
vert It ior 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
-act and egregious blunders in princi-
pie.
For defeating legislation which would
De for the general interest but not IA
vorable to republican advancement.
For making appropriations, after re-
using 10 give necessary support to the
insti ,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-
.ors running away In hot haste to avoid
In issue which they had raised them
selves, evading the officers sent TO ar
rest 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 public con-
,empt, was scene unparalleled IN the
annals OF our country, and exhibits
ne republican party IL an attitude OF
,oW8rdIce and absurdltV.
Tie republican legislature showed
more bombaSt and less capacity, more
,arslmony and smaller economy,
greater parusanship and narrower
than any other legisla-
i've assembly in the history Uf the ter
Itory.
We endorse the actor of Governor
Caleb W. West III the interposition of
he veto power vested 10 him by law,
O prevent the enactment of vicious
md partisan measures and insulting
md misleading memorials by which the
epublican legislature would, but for
lis action, have injured and disgraced
he territory. And we recognize in
he governor firm, discreet and able
executive, whose influence has been
asst on the side of law and order and
he public welfare generally.
We confidently appeal to the citizens
# Utah 10 stand by and support the
,aTty of the constitution and the peo-
lie, from which alone political redemp-
ion can come to this territory and per-
nanent prosperity to the nation;
which, will demonstrate the superiority |
+ It's prime pies and policy as soon as

which viii maintain and hear tri-
