GIVE US THE PROOF.

The alleged facts in reference to the
Weber county canvass, related by the
Tribune on Wednesday, are either
wholly untrue or so distorted as to
be entirely misleading. The whole ac-
count is an attempt to misrepresent
Chairman Letcher and deceive the
readers of the Tribune into thinking
there is something fraudulent in the
doings of the Utah Commission. 1t is
all of a piece with the endeavors of
that paper to blacken the character
Of every Democratic official from the
Governor and Chief Justice down.
In reply to the statement that it was
Commissioner Shernan-ay Republican
who first requested thar the Sanpete
ballot boxes be sent for, the Tribune
says that is probably true, and avows
1T was because he had seen by what
had been done with the Weber. count
ing that there was no safety in leay-
ing the boxes, that the only thing to
do was TO have them under the con-
troll of the Commission themselves
Is that so? Let us see: The motion
of Mr.. Sherman to send for the Sanpete
ballot boxes was made November 23d.
1t was not until November 27th that
the Ogden ballot boxes were sent for.
What does the slanderer mean by this?
Did Hoyt Sherman know about any
"tampering with the ballot boxes in
Precinct No. 2. Ogden City" before
they were sent for? Did he know that
there was something wrong with the
Weber county returns before they were
canva ssed? In what way did he reach
the conclusion that the Weber count
ing was wrong before the Commission
had made any canvass? Was Sherman
knowing to all that, or is this simply
another piece of Tribune Islander and a
rash attempt to account for something
that it knows nothing about?
Perhaps Mr.. Hoyt Sherman will rise
and explain how it was that he knew
all about what was in the Ogden bal
lot boxes, four days before they were
sent for by the Commission. And also
whether that was the reason he want
ed the ballot boxes sent for from San
pete. But is it sure that the ballot
boxes are safe with the Commission?
If SO. what do all these changes of
fraud mean?
The Tribune says: There is enough
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-12-13


he Republican party would not at
tempt to perpetrate a wrong unless ii
thought it could get away with it, but
when 1t does so think it stops at noth-
ing. The party in California is about
to attempt such wrong
The chairman of the party has APP
peared before the supreme court of the
state and taken the initial step in
what is 20 be contest>of the election
of James H. Budd, the Democratic
candidate, as governor of California.
It is alleged that some of the re-
turns are irregular. enough to over
come Budd's plurality, which was 1900.
If there are frauds in the returns they
should be investigated, and no honest
man. be he Democrat or Republican,
can complain. But if the sole evil
dence Of fraud is merely Republican
allegation and buster, then the Demo-
Gratis will be righteously furious. And
when it is remembered that the Re
publican party always initiates. con-
ducts and concludes its campaigns
with claiming everything, it is not at
all surprising that they are now claim
ing that Budd is not elected.
How deep seated their plan to de-
prive him of the governorship is may
be seen from. the fact that the dispatch
announcing the contest says that on
the state supTem bench the Republic
cans have a majority, but it is not
to be presumed that this fact can have
any bearing upon the questions in is
sue To suggest this fact as to the
political complexion of the supreme
court is to intimate that it would be
Influenced in its consideration and de-
eision of the case by the politics of
the parties to the contest. Members of
the Supreme Court of the United
States sitting on the Electoral Com
mission were SO influenced in the Til
Hayes contest
The Republicans seem to have some
doubt as to the supreme court, but
they have none as to the legislature.
If they are beaten in the supreme
court, it is their declared intention TO
carry the contest into the legislature,
where, it is significantly said, they
have an overwhelming majority"
Which is tantamount to saying that
they will decide against Budd, fraud
or no fraud.
We hope the Democrats will take a
firm and decided stand against any
such contemplated rascality. And We
believe they will.

THE CAUSE OF ALL THE TROUBLE,

A great scandal has disturbed
all classes of society in this
Icity necessitating action upon
lit by the grand jury, and result
ing in the imprisonment Of three pub
lie officers in the penitentiary, for con-
tempt of court In refusing to give inIfor-
NATION officially in their possession, to
the grand jury having the case in con-
sideration.
The whole thing is regrettab.e 1t is
unfortunate that anything in relation
to it has become a subject of public
comment. It is painful that the officers
now in confinement were put to the
trying ordeal which they were com
PEELED to undergo through making an
lnd1screet promise. 1t is grievous that
the grand jury should be under the
necessity of taking up the unsavory
case and bringing it into court whence
1t went forth to the world.
But what was the primal cause of all
this trouble, disturbance ard shock to
the moral sense of the community?
Why without a doubt, the publication
of the salacious story, in the paper
which is now protesting against fur
Their talk or investiga ton in reference
to the easel
The Tribune wants the grand jury to
drop it. wants the public to cease dis
cUssing it, and thinks it ought to be
''sque,ched," Well, why was it not
"sQuelched' by that paper in the first
place? Chief Pratt denies having given
it to the press for publication We be-
lieve he is justified i'm that denial. He
does not deny conversing about it with
representatives of the press. But we
do not think he wanted it published.
Why did the Tribune give space to the
sensational details and arouse that
''disreputable curiosity which it now
affects to deplore?
If it had not been for the publication,
by that paper. of the details of a scand-
alous case which it was desirable to
keep secret, because, as that sheet says
now, 'if the truth were known it would
only make unhappiness and perhaps
lead to violence the whole affair
would have been passed by without the
widespread rumors that have followed
and there would have been no case for
the grand jury to inquire into and no
Imprisonment for contempt.
Once more the same sheet endeavors
to connect the District Attorney i'm
properly with the matter. 1t says it is
informed by contemporary that 1.-The
District Attorney has been forced to
do what he has because of the demand
of the people in a certain part of the
city Well, the grand jury has relieved
that officer of all that has been repeat
eddy charged against him by the Trib-
une. 1t was the grand jury who re-
ceived the complaints, and who made
the investigation. as in duty bound.
When our near contemporary" can
cure itself of the habits of misquoting
The Herald, and of bearing false wit
ness against everybody whom it can
not intimidate, cajole or control, it
may place itself on the plane of decent
journalism; but even then it would have
to cease catering to the tastes of the
by publishing scandaious de-
tails which, on its own showing. ought
never to have appeared in print.
