and the executive in different place;
to enforce the law. They have encour
aged the massing at the seat of COY
eminent of thousands of homeless men
made desperate by republican leg
lslation, hoping that their presence
would embaTrass the administTa
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 nave endeaVoTed
to cast ridicuie upon the governor, OPP
prob-ium 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 sympathize with the dis
tress of our Fellow citizens, the unem-
ployed working people of the country,
! and particularly of those who are
| jewellers 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 re iorms 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,

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 1t 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 unsophIsticated
They do not mean the free and un-
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 blmetallic policy.
We denounce she 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 simu-
lated affection is cO-incideDt with the
appearance of q possibility of reDubi-
can support in the territory, and that
its support was the only cause Of It's
new attitude. 1t is the unseltish tend
erness when the spider feels for the
fly,
We denOunce the only republican leg
islature OF Utah Territory: For It's
waste of pnblic time and money in
vain endeayOTs TO manufacture party
capital
For its opposition to the educational
interests OF the territory, by refuSiDT
TO appropriate sufficient funds for
agricultural college and to carry on s.
university according to the provision
of the law creating tue institution al
requiring the establishment of neces
sary departments. and also by endeav
OTing to cripple the public schools in g
scheme TO take away part OF the rev
enue necessary to their support and d-
vert 1t for the purpose Of giving b0un-
ties to benz ii private enterprises.
For striving 10 commit the represent
atives OF the people, III memorials to
congress, to gross misrepresentation OF
fact and egregious biunders 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-
fusing to give necessary support to the
educational insti utions and the deaf
mute, reform school, insane asylum and
kindred institutions. and neglecting
TO provide sufficient revenue to meet
the appropriations inconsiderately
made.
The spectacle of republican legisla-
tors running away in hot haste to avoid
an issue which they bad 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
the upper house Of the legislature and
bringing that body into public con-
tempt, was scene unparalleled in the
annals of our country, and exhibits
the republican party in an attitude OF
cowardlce and absurdIty.
The republican legislature showed
more bombast and less capacity, more
parslmOny and smaller economy,
greater partIsanship and narrower
craftsmanship than any other legisla-
tive assembly in the history vi the ter
ritory.
We endorse the action of Governor
Caleb W. West IN the interpOsition OF
the veto power vested 10 him by law,
to prevent the enactment of vicious
and partisan measures and insulting
and misleading memorials by which the
republican legislature would, but for
his action, haYe injured and disgraced
the territory. And we recognize In
the governor firm, discreet and able
executive, whose influence has been
cast on the side of law and order and
the public welfare generally.
We confidently appeal TO the citizens
Of Utah to stand by and support the
party of the constitution and the peo-
pie, from which alone political redemp-
ton can come TO this territory and per-
manent prosperity to the nation
which will demonstrate the superiority
of its principles and policy as soon as
measures of reform it has iDaugurated
can be put into force and produce their
effects; which works for the greatest
good to the greatest number; which is
the foe of monopolies and the friend of
the masses; which does not depend
upon any one man however pesserful,
for its guidance or Its victory; and
which VIII maintain and hear tri'
umphant those sacred doctrina -
stitutions for which the fath9 al
country fought aad Bled, an
we hereby pledge our faith 3
ton and cur energies, VII !
conviction that success will or
efforts and Utah will enter the 49,
as free and vigorous democratic state.
