and the executive in different place
TO enforce the law. They have encuur
aged the massing at the seat OF COY
eminent OF thousands of homeless men
made desperate by republican leg
islation, hoping that their presenc'
would embarrass the administra
! ton and convey the false impress ioI
that the party in power is responsible
! for thirty years of republican misrule
In this arraignment we include those
local republicans who have endeavoreC
to cast ridicUle upon the governor, OPP
prObrium upon the judges and insnl
upon the militia and the conStabulaIy
while those officers were engaged in
preserving the public peace and seek
ing 10 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-
poyed working people of the country
and particularly of those who are
dwellers in our territory. We deplore
the policy which has brought into ouI
midst large bodies of destitute men,
vino 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 toiliDg masses.
We denounce the false pretenses re-
Gently put forth 10y 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 himetalism"
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 unsOphIsticated.
They DO not mean the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
OF Is to l, which is the only true solu-
tioG of the money problem and the only
genuine bimetallic 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. It's SINH
lated affection is cO-incideDt with the
OF a possibility of reDubli-
can support in the territory, and that
its support was the only cause OF its
new attitude. 1t is the unseltish tend
erness which the spider feels for the
fly.
We denounce the only republican leg
islature of Utah territory: For It's
waste of pnbiic 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 provisior
of tn law creating the institution an
the establishment of neces
sary departments, and also by endeav
Oring to cripple the public schools in a
scheme to take away part OF the rev.
enue necessary TO their support and dl-
vert 1t for the purpose of giving boun-
ties to benefit private enterprises.
For striving 10 commit the represent
atives OF the people, in memorials to
congress, to gross Misrepresentation OF
fact and egregious hlunders in princi-
pie.
For defeating legislation which would
be for the general interest but not IA
vorable to republican advancement.
For making appropriations, after re-
using to give necessary support to the
Il
mute, reform school, insane asylum and
kindred institutions. and neglecting
TO provide sufficient revenue to meet
the appropriations lnconslderately
made.
TIE spectacle of republican legisls-
tors running away IN hot haste to avoid
an issue which they had raised them
selves, evading the officers sent to ar
rest them and hiding until a republican
majority could be assured, thus stop
ping the progress of public business in
the upper house of the legislature and
bringing that body into public con-
tempt, was a scene unparalleled in the
annals OF our country, and exhibits
The republican party in an attitude OF
,owardice and absurdIty.
The republican legislature showed |
more bombast and less capacity, more |
and smaller economy,
greater partlsanship and narrower |
craftsmanship than any other leglsla |
i've assembly in the history uf the ter
-itory.
We endorse the actor of Governor |
Caleb W. West in the interposition of |
he veto power vested 10 hin, by law,
o prevent the enactment of vicious |
md partisan measures and insulting |
and misleading memorials by which the |
'epU blican legislature would, but for
lis action, have injured and disgraced |
he territory. And we recognize in |
he governor firm, discreet and able |
whose influence has been
asst on the side of law and order and
he public welfare generally.
We confidently appeal to the citizens
# Utah to stand by and support the
Dalty of the constitution and the peo-
re. from which alone political redemp-
ion can come 10 TINS territory and per-
nanent prosperity to the nation;
ghicl will demonstrate the superiority
