NOT Al DEMOCRATIC CLAIM.

Prior to election we were indirectly
told by a very high authority in this
Democratic party that the Demo-
cratic party embodied all the patriot
ism, all the intelligence, all the cour-
age, honor and honesty in the
country"
That of course is from the Repubh-
can paper which before the election
was mot a Republican organ" but
which very probably will, after the
election, claim all the profits and
perquisites which a Republican organ
usually lusts for and grabs when it
has a chance.
How much truth DIS there in the
above quotation? About as much as
is usually to be found in the partisan
utteranees of that professedly unpar-
tisan paper. No authority in the
Democratic party whether high or
low, can be found uttering such
boastful and bombastic rubbish. 1t is
an eminently Republican claim on its
own behalf. 1t has been repeated in
every part of this territory from Re
publican lips, that the party of high
morality''-the g. o. p was the party
of the educated, refined. progressive,
wealthy and patriotic of the nation,
and that the opposite to all these
qualities were to be found in the
Democratic party.
The elegant orators of the G. O. p.
have informed their hearers that a
Democrat was a person who wears
overalllS and a jumper" one with '9ong
ears but not much brains who could
''take his shirt off without unbutton-
ing his collar" and who desired to
build up foreign nations and ruin his
own country That is the sort of
argument that has flowed from the
intelligent, progressive, refined religi-
Gus and patriotic lips of leading Re
publican educators" of the masses.
No such reasoning 60 has been
heard from Democratic defenders of
the political faith. 1t is the special
and patented property of the Republi-
can party. No Democrat of high Or
low authority has laid claim to it.
The Tribune has copied a Republican
theme and credited, or debited, 1T to
the opposite party just for the pur-
pose of making a point.
Democrats deny the claim of the 8.
o. p. to the exclusive possession of the
virtues which that party asserts are
peculiarly its own. We invite COM
parison of the Democratic and Re-
publican leaders, candidates, legisla-
tors and state convention members.
That the Democrats have shown
themselves the equals if not the
superiors of their political opponents
in this territory, in every department
of the public service, must be appar-
ent even to the dullest Republican
mind.
We deny the statement of the Tr-
bune that exclusive claim is made for
the qualities named in it's columns by
any Democratic authority, and we
also deny the pretensions to that eff
feet which have been VIGOROUSLY set
forth by the alleged g. o. p, a party
of pretences, as exhibited in its
shamaless adoption of the title of the
grand old party" when the absolute
and undeniable truth is, it first
breathed the breath Of life, less than
forty years ago!

WOMEN OF UTAH.
The Wilmington, Del, Morning New

The Wilmington, Del, Morning News
says:
If the women of Massachusetts were
as much in earnest as their sisters in
Utah are they would have the right of
franchise. AS it now stands it looks
as though the women of the Bay State
had determined to defeat the suffrage
proposition by refusing to register. s. +
If the women of Utah could infuse their
spirit and their interest in public af-
fairs into the minds of their New Eng
land sisters the woman suffrage move
ment would win in Massachusetts
But it is too late now, and woman stuff
rage there depends solely upon the
men.
1t is very amusing to see an eastern
paper comparing the women of Utah
and those of Massachusetts, and all
in favor of the former. While it is
just, still it is out of the usual
Woman suffrage was an old question
in Massachusetts long before it became
one in Utah, but it seems to thrive bet
ter in the new soil of the West than
in the old soil of the East Some years
ago when the women of the old Bay
State were given a vote in school cleo
tons they went to the polls almost
without exception, and went in wealth
err so inclement as to challenge the
admiration of all. The enthusiasm
they then showed seems to have left
them. We do not believe that when
the women of Utah again possess the
elective franchise that their enthusi-
asm will so soon subside as that of
their Massachusetts, sisters has.
One of the great troubles with our
universal suffrage is that people will
not exercise their rights and go to the
polls on election day. How to remedy
this recognized evil is one of the prob
lens that confront the country.

IN HIS speech at the theatre Monday
night, Mr.. H. M. Wells, Governor-elect,
said he favored the restoration of the
bounty on sugar. If the Republican
Legislature should grant a bounty of
one cent pound on Utah sugar that
would mean to the taxpayers of Utah,
on the output of the Lehi factory last
year, an annual expense of So, 5000.
This is the policy to which Governor
elect Wells is favorable. For the five
years of his incumbency of the execu-
tive office it would mean, if the policy
is carried out, s2SO,OOO of public money
given to one private enterprise.

THE DISTRICT JUDICIARY.


In the almost clean sweep of the
territory by the Republicans the DEM
ocrats have saved some few offices. In
this Ghe Third district they succeeded
in electing at least two judges, men
who have the respect and confidence
of the bar and the people. Had the
Republicans placed in nomination men
who in any way approached them in
fitness for the Offices it is doubtful If
the Democratic nominees could have
been elected. In other districts also
the Democratic judicial nominees have
been elected, and because of their
greater fitness.
The judiciary should be taken en-
tirely out Of politics, for if there is in
all our government an Office that
should be free from all partisan bias
it is that of judge. A pure judiciary
should be free from the faint Of par
tisanship as from all other taints.
This is not always possible of attain
ment.
1t is much to be regretted that our
constitution did not provide for the
holding of elections for judges at a
time when other elections are not
held. Had it been done, it would have
been possible to have chosen men for
the Office solely on account of their
fitness. This could easily have been
done by political parties uniting in
non-partisan conventions. But such
provision was not made by those who
framed the constitution. The first time
it is amended the time for holding jul
dicial elections should be made sep
arate from that for general elections.

WELL DONE:

The Democratic party of Utah is to
be congratulated on the measure of
success which has attended it's efforts
in the campaign of 1895. In the face
of influences which have favored the
Republican cause, and which elsewhere
have prevailed overwhelmingly, the
Democrats of Utah have cut down the
majority of a year ago and made gains
that ought to be very encouraging, all
things fairly considered.
The Republican party had the advan-
tage of the prestige of last years vic
tory, of a majority difficult to over
come, of the hard times" theory which
is always effectual with portion of
the masses, of the cry against Cleve-
land and Carlisle, of the impression
that certain influential persons favor
ed the Republican cause, of more party
workers, of the use of money, and of
the tendency of the national drift plain
ly indicated by the returns from the
several state elections
Notwithstanding all that, and the
confident assurances of the Republic
can managers that their majority of
last year would be doubled if not
trebled. it has been materially de-
creased and Democratic gains may be
perceived in many parts of the terri
tory which, while they do not bring
US the substantial fruits of victory,
ought to prove encouraging to the dis
cipies of Democracy as proof that its
principles are gaining ground.
That they will ultimately prevail, not
only in Utah, but in every part of this
great country we have not the slight
est doubt. They are the principles of
true government, of human political
equality, of universal liberty. They
are eternally true and they must be-
come triumphant. So with the party
in which they are embodied. 1t can
not die and it cannot be daunted. Re
fort and to greater energy. 1t has out
lived every opposing party that pre-
ceded its present antagonist, and it will
live and flourish when that also is
dead,
1t takes time, patience and persist
ence to educate mankind, no matter in
what truth or system that may be
presented for the benefit of the world.
Democracy in its purest form is the
goal which humanity must eventually
reach. The relics of monarchism will
for some time remain and hinder prog
ress, but they will be gradually re-
moved before the march of Democratic
government, and the heresies of Re
publicanism with all others will be
swept away. Meanwhile, the Demo-
cratic party, when not in power in the
state or in the nation, will temper the
tone of those centralizing impulses
which prompt Republican effort, and
put restraints upon the plutocratic
domination which the Republican
party fosters. It is usually more Wig
orous under its temporary defeats than
while resting after victory. And this
will be it's condition in Utah. There
will be no lying down in regretful ap
athy, but a lively determination to
press forward and still further increase
its gains and influence will be exhibited
by the Democratic party. What has
been accomplished this year is credit
able to the party and its leaders, and
we bid them be of good cheer for they
have substantial grounds for sincere
congratulations.

"HoNoR TO WHOM" ETC!

We take pleasure in affirming that
the Democratic campaign of 1895 has
been conducted in an honorable.
which will stand the scrutiny of the
closest inspection and cannot be truth
fully assailed from any proper stand
point.
Judge o. W. Powers, the chairman Of
the state committee, has acted with
the utmost frankness, courage, care
and honesty. The falsehoods told
about him by the enemy from the be-
ginning Of the contest were as shame
full as they were groundless. All the
time that it was published by the
shameless sheet which is nothing if
not mendacious and vituperative, that
he had a large corruption fund at his
control a big slice of which he was to
receive for himself, he was crippled
for lack of money to pay legitimate
current expenses. At no time has he
been in possession of the needful funds
to carry on the work he was expected
to do. He had not the means, even if
he had so desired, to resort to any of
the measures attributed to him by
mistaken or malicious enemies.
He. conducted the campaign with
vigor and that admirable discipline for
which he has become noted, and his
hope and conviction of success never
left him until the figures proved that
he had been misled by over-sanguine
supporters of the cause. For theiT err
rors he is not responsible.
His instructions to men on whom he
relied to send him the facts were to
the effect that no estimates of the
voters Of the respective parties were
to be furnished except such as were
positively correct. They were to place
on the doubtful list every voter who
was not positively known to be COM
mitted to one party or the other.
The data thus furnished to him war;
ranted his conclusion that the Demo-
cratic party had full assurance of
victory for the state and legislative
ticket, up to the Saturday preceding
the fateful Monday which occasioned
SO much disturbance in the COM
munity. After the convention was
recalled the assurances of VIC
tory We're renewed. They were
most positive from all quar-
ters On these he relied, and on them
he predicted the triumph which, in
spite of doubts by those around him. he
verify believed would come to his party.
The Herald feels it duty to say
that Judge Powers has conducted him
self, as we'll as the campaign, through
out this political struggle in way to
gain the admiration and respect of his
associates who were not previously
familiar with him, and to secure and
maintain the high regard in which he
was previously held by those who knew
him best.
He has performed a splendid work,
and though the results are not seen in
the election of many candidates of his
party, the effects are felt and made
very apparent in the greatly reduced
majority of the opposing party.
Honor to whom honor is due" and a
great need of praise belongs to the
chairman of the Democratic state COM
mittee Judge Orlando W. Powers.
| A similar encomium is due to Chair
man D. c. Dunbar, of the county COM
mittee. He and his immediate associ-
ates have worked with a vim and
energy and faithful attention to routine
work, which entitle them to the cordial
and hearty thanks of the Democratic
