''The candidates nominated yester-
day by the Democrats for district
judges are gentlemen above reproach.
Ihey are ali experienced in their pro-
fessioD. They all, by the force of
their own intellects, have acquired
regulations as eminent lawyers. They
stand out without a suspicion before
their fellow men. Al least two of the
three have that character of mind
which men instinctively understand as
hitting them for the bench, and they
have SO lived, so handled their pro-
dession, and have so moved in their
walk before men, that all men who
know them would, without Hesitation,
submit their property or their lives to
their adjudication with a perfect GER
tainty in advance that their cause
would be heard with a singieness of
purpose to do justice; that they would
be intelligently heard by men who
have prepared themselves by a pro-
found investigation of the law, to
judge irtehigently and justly. We con-
graduate the Democracy on its NOM
inations for district judges, and this
IS absolutely sincere. notwithstanding
the grotesque spectacle which would
be presented by the appealing of a
case decided by either of them, to be
heard in review by the resident Demo-
cratic candidate for the supreme
court
The last clause. of course, merely
marks the line where bitter PARTISAN
ship again got control, and where
saving clause for the supreme court
ticket was inserted. 1t is not worthy
OF notice.
The only thing which the Republi-
cans rely on is the great majority they
believe they have in this district. Har-
70 o~1~.. III L., q
astuteness, claims 1000 from this coun-
". But when a people arises in its
wrath against such a palpable insult
as the Republican ticket, majorities are
nothing. The people of this district
are supposed to be h;nest. They are
supposed to be thoughtful. They are
supposed to be discriminating. To say
they viii vote in the Republican ticket
Is an insult to them. The ticket will
be defeated by about 1000. 1t will be
a literal walk-over for the Democrats.
Why the Republican candidates cam
not even stomach each other, and each
is claiming to be the only good one of
the lot. Ye gods! what a spectacle,
The Gubernatorial Candidates.
Thoughtful. earnest men, DESTROYS
only for the good Of the new state, dis
daining the ties of party when party
interests conflict with the public good,
are invited 20 compare the speeches
made by John T. Caine and Heber NJ
Wells at the two ratification meetings.
After they have done so there can be
no doubt that their verdict will be in
favor Of the Democratic nominee. Let
the speeches be scanned as showing
how run the minds of the two men
Let their own words show which is
likely to be the best governor of the
state Of Utah. That is the all import
ant question.
Heber NJ. Wells began his speech in
this way:
''Heber NJ Wells came forward and
was greeted with round Of applause,
still light. He said in beginning: We
have heard great deal in the last
few weeks about lack of harmony in
the Republican ranks, and the Demo-
cratic press has said that there was
wrangling and jangling among the
leaders. The Democrats have been
happy over this They have laid the
Aattering JUNCTION to their souls that
they will be benefited But we're go
ing to fool them. The Wrangling and
Janglng simply denoted that the Re
publicans are on the ramparts. They
were but alarm bells, and what a tale
Of victory they bring to the enemy"
John T. Game began as follows:
The Democratic party of Utah,
seEnbled, has nominated me as its can
didate for first governor of Utah, an
honor which should satisfy the aspira-
tions of the most ambitious citizen, an
honor which l appreciate beyond my
power to express. While occupying
this position before the public, I deem
it proper that l sleuld express What
IN my opinion, should be the policy
pursued in building up the state and
providing for the protection and pros
perity of its people.
The foundations of the state should
be laid broad and deep, based upon
those principles Of human liberty
euunciared by the father of the De-
cIaration of Independence and affirmed
in the constitution of the United
States: Security to every citizen, ire
spective of his condition Of life; per-
feet equality before the law, and the
largest possible individual liberty con-
sistent with good government
Wells Speech.
Reference to the reports of the meet
ings viii show that Wells then
branched off into a review of political
events in Utah, eliminating in the
election of Frank Cannon. He then
spoke of the tariff, using the following
language on that subject:
1T is all right to hear the Demo-
Gratis say, The world is my country;
I'll buy where [ please Win they
build up this country? Never, my
friends. Never in a thousand years.
If that policy is persisted in, it will
make the people of this country
hevers of wood and drawers of water
forever. We licked old Eng
land them we win not let her inter-
fere now
Then the speaker came to the queer
est part of his speech.
II came to ratify," he said. Il came
to see if the people Of the territory
want me for their governor take
this demonstration as an evidence
that you do" he continued theatrie-
ally.
.T believe that silver is the para
mount issue of this country" he said.
II want the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver at a ratio of i to is,
without regard to any other nation"
He said he was for the tariff. He be-
lieved that the Indian reservations
should be opened. 81 believe they
would have been opened before now if
The administration had not sent men
SO old and decrepit that tht can oEly
draw their last breaths and their sala-
.ries' He believed in maintaining the
present efficiency of the public schools
He welcomed woman suffrage. Il join
