OF the unemuluyed They have inter

and the executive in different place

eminent of thousands of homeless men
mod desperate by republican leg
lslatiOn, hoping that their presence
would EN- baTraSS the administra
/ ton and convey The false impress inI
that the party in power is responsible
for thBty years of republican misrule
In this aTraiRumPnt we include those
local republic ans who have endeaYored
to cast Tidieule up q lie governor, Op
prubrium upon the judges and Insult
upon the militia and the conStabula1y
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.
tTess of our fellow citizens. the unem-
ployed working people of the country,
and particularly Of those who are
dwelieIS 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 Door, and some of
whom sought 10 obtain The work which
was needed by our own population.
We declare 1t To De our conviction that
only by the reforms which will be in
tTodhced by democratic congress and
administration. can relief be afforded
to the oppressed and needy working
population and prosperity be assured
W Inc t0lling 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 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 unsophIsIicated.
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-
tiUU of the money problem and the only
genuine blmeJaliic policy.
We denounce the national republic
can party: For its false pretenses Of
sudden regard for the people of Utah
against whom III its platforms and by
extreme legislation it indicated intense
hostility from its inception. Its simu-
lated affection is cO-incideDt W tn the
appearance Of possibility of reDubli-
can support IN the territory, and that
its support was the only cause Of its
new attitude. 1t is the unseifsh tend
erness which the spider feels for tie
hy.
We denounce the only republican leg
iSlature of Utah territory: For us
waste of pnblic time and money in
vain endeayOIs to manufacture party
capital.
For its opposition to the educational
OF the territory, by refusing
10 appropriate sufficient funds for the
agricultural college anu to carry on the
University according TO the provisions
II tn law creating the Institution and
the estsblis hmenJ OF neces- .
3aTy deLartments, and also OY endeav-
BRING TO cripple lie pubic schools IN a
scheme to take away part OF the rev.
enue necessary TO their support and d.
vert II for the purpose of giving boun- |
les 10 benefit private enterprises.
For STRIVING o commit the represent |
ltiyes OF the people, in memorials to I!
congress, TO gross Misrepresentation OF |
act and egreglouS plumbers in princi- |
lie.
For defeating legislation which would |
,e fer the general interest but not ia 1
'or; bic 10 republican advancement.
For making appropriations, after re- I
using to give necessary support to the
educational in5tl utions and the deaf
mute, reform school, insane asylum and /
,indTed Institutions. and neglecting
o provide sufficient revenue TO meet
he appropriations inconsiderately
made.
The spectacle of republican legisla-
ors running away IN not haste to avoid
n issue winch they had raised them
elves, evading the officers sent TO ar
est them anu hiding until a republican
majority could be assured, thus stop
ing the progress of public business in
ne upper house OF the legislature and
ringing That body into pubic con-
empt, was scene unparalleled in the
nnals OF our country, and exhibits
be republican party In an attitude of
owaTdlce and abSurdlty.
The republican legislature showed
lore bombast and less capacity, more
arslmUny and smaller economy,
reater partlsanship and narrower
3shlp than any other leg sla-
i've assembly IN the history uf the ter
ltorY.
NJ au6orce tho octioy oF Co1,.,,,or

We confidently appeal to the citizens {
