AT IT'S OLD TRICKS.

The unprincipled apologist for Re-
publican fallacies in this city commence
ed one of its column paragraphs of per-
versions on Tuesday with this sentence:
Judge Henderson has looked little
bit sheepish ever since he tried to ex-
plain to the awkward squad at Saltair
on Saturday that a Utah sheepman
would do better when he sold wool at
cents pound than he did when he
sold it at IT,"
1t then proceeds to enlarge on that
alleged explanation, which it says was
mot very lucid" and goes on to drool
in its common style of supposition
and to draw deductions which have no
relevance to the supposed argument,
winding UP with some flat-footed false
hoods as to what the Democrats want
We should not have noticed the nom
sense at all but to point out to the
public the utter unreliability of that
paper and its complete Indifference to
the truth. whether in matters of fact
or principles in question.
Judge Henderson did not "try to ex-
plain anything about wool or wool
prices to the very appreciative and en-
thusiastic audience at Saltair on Satur-
day. among whom there were a number
of intelligent Republicans who will
doubtless swallow with great relish the
title of awkward squad" which Their
| organ so elegantly bestows upon them
in common with the rest of that great
audience.
There is nothing in any report which
has been published of the speeches al
that meeting to give the Republican
sheet which thus lies about Judge
Henderson. the slightest pretext OF
which to found an excuse for it's de
/ liberate falsehood. 1t is a whole-clotf
fabrication. It IS a sample of tht
methods of the Tribune When Their,
is chance to distort an opponent!
| language it seizes it. When there i.
none it manufactures what it wants
and like its Ananias correspondent
puts words into mems mouths which
they never uttered and attributes t,
them ideas they never entertained.
Just as false as its remarks abou
Judge Henderson at the beginning of it
! editorial. are its assertions as to VIVA
/ Democrats want, at the close 1t says
! to wind UP its mess of mingled malic,
and mendacity:
These men who framed the Wilson

F, not the grasp to understand that when
ever that experiment has been tried il
the past it has ended in distress anC
final bankruptcy.
Everybody who can read that AM
has the capacity to understand what i
says, knows that there is not even
shadow or semblance or fragment O
truth in it. Whatever opinions ma,
be entertained as TO the probable re
/ suits of the reform of the tariff which
the country demanded. nobody believe
that American legislators want to d.
any of the things named in the fore
going copied paragraph. 1t is wilful ant
intentional untruth in every line an,
sentiment.
1t needs no argument to establish
this. Republicans and Democrats aIik
will appreciate the fact that howeve
men of different parties may differ a
to the best mode of reaching the re
suit. the desire of all is to build up on
country. to develop its resources, t
furnish employment at remunerativ
wages to labor, to tighten the burden
of the masses and place our countr
in the van of nations on the march t
the perfection of prosperity.
Such falsehoods as those we hav
pointed out serve to show the char
/ acter of a sheet that pretends to be TIL
moulder of sentiment and the guide t
