THE TRIBUNE ROASTED.

THE TRIBUNE ROASTED.
P..t Lannan. From Cork, Dictator to
the Republican Party
The Republican party is in a mess,
and a very bad mess. They are all split
M ard warning among themselves.
There is a Tribune faction or gang,
as they call it, and an anti-Tribune fac
\ ton, and in the ranks of these two fac
Ations there are smaller factions ad in
Pfnitum. The anti-Tribune faction met
Fast evening in the Wasatch building.
Fhe nah was crowded to overlooking
Nd enthusiasm was rampant The
Amorincs adjourned their special coun-
ell called for last night in order to at
Tend the meeting. Arthur Brown, c. S.
Varian. Jake Greenewald and William
DoXey were the speakers. They roasted
the Tribune and bewailed the fact that
the Republican party was without an
organ in this city. Prominent Repub-
licans. such as Colonel Treweek, S. H.
Hill, Colonel Kaign, Wiley Brown and
many others were present.
The meeting was called to defend
Harvey Hardy, Republican candidate
for sheriff, against the attacks of the
Tribune.
Colonel Treweek called for order,
nominated S. H. Hill for chairman, NJ.
X. Parsons for secretary and William
DoXeY ergeant-at-arms. The nomln-
actions were seconded and the audience
Confirmed them.
MI Hill, on taking the chair said the
meeting was called for the purpose Of
adopting means by which the Repub-
lcan ticket would be elected on Novenl-
Der 6. He worked himself up into a
tremendous passion and tore his passion
to tatters, in fact, he was SO violent and
yelled so loudly that the people in the
street thought murder was being done.
but all he had to say was that the Re
publicans had been ground down to the
fust and couldn't stand it any longer
and therefore must elect their ticket on
tNOVember 6.
ARTHUR BROWN
was called on and said he had come to
consider and to talk about whether the
Republican party as a whole should
support Harvey Hardy for the office of
sheriff, that was the question of the
hour Tariff or non-tariff. free coinage
of silver or a single gold standard,
whether the government should acquire
and operate the railroads were matters
of utter insignificance in comparison
with the question whether Harvey Har-
dy was to be sheriff of Salt Lake
county or not
The speaker announced the startling
fact that all the members of the Repub-
ican party were huma beings This
conglomerat ton of human beings had no
quarrel with any man for his religion or
what society he belonged to. 1t had
been alleged by certain newspaper
that certain sect was being prosecuted
because Of its religious beliefs. If that
was so he wanted to raise his voice
against It, but he didn't believe 1t was
-. He called attention to the fact that
EVERY member on the Republican ticket
was selected with as much care as a
farmers wife exercises when she selects
che right sort of eggs for her setting
Gen to raise a brood of chickens from
y Nobody had right to go into the
convention and vote for Harvey Hardy
or vote against him and then come ont
ana veto the nomination of Hardy or
any candidate chosen by the conven-
ton. No man and no newspaper had
any lNght to play the car to forbid any
man being a candidate on the ticket
tGreat applause.) ''The question is !"
said the speaker. shall we listen to the
voice of this car or shall we hearken
TO the voice Of the people?"

(Cheers.) 1t says. in effect. it is a Pc
publican organ when it can get its own
way. Now shall we, the great Reguh

shall we obey the voice of the people?

The Tribune has suddenly become
very apprehensive of hurting the re- |
iiglors consciences of a particular re-
ilglous sect. There is another religious |
sect-the Mormons-which the TRIBUNE |
