The Trihune,s Campaign.

Star (Republican): 1t is safe to say
that the only hope for securing nomin>
alton by the Republican party lies with
the county delegates to the territorial
convention to meet in Salt Lake City
on Aug. Is. The interested and self
constituted leaders of the party in Salt
Lake City have abandoned all idea of
modesty or just dealing. The Tribune,
which represents one faction, had such
power as an INSCRIPTIONS friend can
give. 1t would make no difference
what the real facts were as to the
selection of delegates and their pre-
disposition toward certain candidates,
the Tribune as a newspaperNwould de-
ceiVe its readers and make false state
ments for the purpose of belittIing
those to whom 1t is opposed.
IL is unfortunate that the Republi-
can party must look to the Democratic
organ for the true condition of poll
tics in the Republican ranks in the
capital, and any person perusing both
papers, j. E., The Herald and Tribune.

Two papers are just as diametrically
opposed as 1t is possible for them to

Since the Tribune has fight against
all candidates but those selected by it,
and since The Herald has no motive
save to encourage the breach in the
Republican ranks by publishing the
facts, it is not unreasonable to presume
that The Herald's statements are
nearer the facts than those of the
biased Tribune.
Then, again, the emissaries of the
different candidates are at work plot
ting and scheming, intriguing and con-
irving, encouraging and denouncing,
abusing and eulogizing as it may APP
pear TO them necessary in order to pro
mote what they think the interests of
their candidates.
The fact is unblushingly conceded
that certain men are receiving money
TO promote the interests of certain can
didates, and very many who stand
aloof and whose only desire is for the
Republican party, question whether
these men hired to do the dirty work
will remain loyal to the men whose
money they have taken. Combinations
are also formed to feed the fattery of
ambitious men and induce them to
contribute financially toward men
whose principles are no higher than
their pockets and who are in the Re-
publican party for what pelf it will af-
ford them. This class of men are to
be seen everywhere. They are prosti
tutes to politics, selling their favors to
the highest bidders, loyal only to those
whose money is received, as long as the
money lasts or comes in in sufficient
amounts to satisfy their rapacious de-
sires. OF this the Tribune is as well
acquainted as anybody, but Of this it
says nothing, although it is wildly
clamorous for clean campaign, using
ing attention to the candidacy of per-
sons to whom it is opposed. 1t clearly
intimates that money is to be used to
buy delegates in the interests of Mr..
Charles Crane, but it knows that every
day in Salt Lake City the money of
other gentlemen is being spent in the
saloons for the alleged purpose of pro-
noting the interests of those contrib
utins the money.
1t would look as though the Repub-
lican county delegates ITO the approach
ing territorial convention were to enter
a seething mass of corruption and are
to be expected to turn to this source
for the light that is to guide them in
their deliberations to result in the
