made desperate by republican leg
lSlation, 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 misrule.
In this arraignment we include those
local republicans who have endeavoreL
to cast ridicule upon the governor, OPP
probrium upon the judges and insult
upon the militia and the consta bulaIy,
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 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
can relief be afforded
laa nj mr.
population and prosperity be assured
to 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 bimetalsm"
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 unsophlsUicated.
They do not mean the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
of Is to l, which is The only ICe solu-
ton of the money problem and the only
genuine bimetalllc policy.
We denounce the national republi
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 a possibility of r9ou5li- |
can support in the territory, and that
its support was the only cause of lis |
new attitude. 1t is the unselfsh tend
3rness which the spider feels for the |
ly.
We denounce the only republican leg
Stature of Utah territory: For its |
waste of pnblic time and money in
yaln endeavors to manufacture party
capital.
For its opposition to the educational
interests of the territory, by refusing
% appropriate sufficient funds for the
agricultural college and to carry on the
according to the provisions
If the law creating the Institution and
the establishment of neces-
ary departments, and also by endeav-
,ring to cripple the public schools in
cheme to take away part of the rev
,nue necessary to their support and di-
,ert it for the purpose of giving boun-
les to benefit private enterprises.
For striving 10 commit the represent
tives of the people, in memorials to
congress, to gross misrepresentation OF
act and egregious blunders in princi-
lie.
For defeating legislation which would
,e for the general interest but not IA
-orable to republican advancement.
For making appropriations, after re-
using 10 give necessary support to the
EDUCATIONAL institutions and the deaf
mute, reform school, insane asylum and
inbred institutions, and neglecting
0 provide sufficient revenue to meet
be appropriations inconsiderstely
made.
The spectacle of republican legisla-
Ors running away In hot haste to avoid
u issue which they had raised them
elves, evading the officers sent to ar
est them and hiding until republican
majority could be assured, thus stop
ing the progress of public business in
be upper house of the legislature and
ringing that body into public con-
3mpt, was scene unparalleled in the
nnals of our country, and exhibits
be republican party in an attitude of
owardice and absurdIty.
The republican legislature showed
lore bombast and less capacity, more
arslmony and smaller economy,
reater partlsanship and narrower
than any other legisla-
we assembly in the history of the ter
TORY.
We endorse the action of Governor J
ialeb w. West in the interposition of
be veto power vested 10 him by law,
} prevent the enactment Of VICIOUS
nd partisan measures and insulting
nd misleading memorials by which ii g
epublican legislature would, but for
is action, have injured and disgraced
he territory. And we recognize in
he governor firm, discreet and able
Secutive, whose influence has been
asst on the side of law and order and
ne 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-
anent prosperity to the nation;

hich Will maintain and hear off tri-
mphant those sacred doctrines and in
