THE SILVER ISSUE.

All the lodging and squirming on the
part of Republican papers in Utah VIII
not disguise the fact, that there is no
hope for silver in the Republican party.
Say what they will about individual
prominent Democrats who do not en-
dorse immediate, independent free sill
Yer coinage, the patent fact remains
that the overwhelming majority of the
Republican party is for gold basis as
the monetary policy of the United
States.
It is the opinion of such leading
Democrats as Vest. Harris, Morgan,
Turpie. Blackburn, Bryan and others,
that there will be working majority
Of free silver men in the next Demo-
cratic national convention. No one be-
lieves that the Republican convention
Will have more than small minority
for free silver coinage.
To offset the decentralization of silver
in 1873, and the continuous hostility to
silver for twenty years by the Repubii-
can party while in power, local dis
putants can only talk of the repeal of
the purchase clause of the Sherman
act Yet that repeal was right, the
purchase provision was not silver
coinage provision, everybody with
sense, both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. wanted it repealed, both parties
helped to repeal it and it ought never
to have been enacted.
To expect the Democrats in single
Congress to undo the mischief of two
decades of Republican anti-silver devil
try. is to require more than is reason
able and more than was possible, with
big majority of the Republicans in
Congress uniting with the minority of
Democrats to vote down free silver
coinage
We repeat what ought to be clear to
every we'll informed and candid mind,
the only hope for silver is in the Demo-
cratic party If silver is really the
great issue in this Utah election, every
sane citizen should help the cause of
Democracy. for in that there is hope
while in the Republican party there is
none whatever.

The situation in Utah.

There is some reason for apprehension
that the statehood movement in Utah
heretofore believed to be certain of sue
cess. may be defeated after all by the
intervention of the Mormon hierarchy
which SO long ruled the territory in an
arbitrary way. At a recent meeting of
President Woodruff and his counselors
1t was declared that the acceptance OF
nominations for Office by 4Iormons with
out consulting the head of the chlIrch
was not permissible. This is construed
as command that those who have gone
mo politics as citizens owing first al
legiance to the government instead of
the church must retire from that field.
and subordinate their views and actions
IN that respect to the judgment and
direction OF the priesthood. If candi-
dates must thus bow to the authority of
the church, then the same requirement.
is likely to be made of voters, and thus
the old condition of hierarchical suprem-
acy will be re-established. 1t is easy
to understand why such a prospect is
viewed with alarm by the Mormon pom
ulation. and why many who would like
nevertheless, to abolish the territorial
condition with its advantage of federal
control and supervision. They know
what the rule of the church sneans when
applied to temporal affairs, and are not
willing 20 take any chance of having it
grasp the new state.
1t is generally believed that polygamy
has been abandoned by the Mormons.
that the church does not contemplate
the revival of it at any future time; but
this latest move of the priesthood is CAL
culated to raise suspicion of insincerity
in that relation, and a lurking purpose
to get hold of the state organizat ton and
to prevent the execution of the anti
polygamy laws. The MIormon hierarchy
has in times past shown itself capable
of such duplicity, and there are those
who believe that it is no better now than
it was then. 1t is true that President
Woodruff and his associates disclaim
all intention to dictate to the members
of the church with regard to their po-
Utica! preferences and interests, and in
slst that the only thing aimed at is
proper religious discipline; but the doubt
remains. all the same, and it is suffi-
ciently strong TO give the Utah situation
a new aspect. The restoration of the
former controlling influence of the Nor
mon priesthood in all the relations of
life would be the worst of calamities.
1t was an absolute despstisIn while it
lasted. and its hold was relaxed only
after a long and severe struggle, i'll
which federal authority was the decisive
force. The people cannot be blamed for
feeling that another experience of that
kind should be averted at any cost and
that if statehood implies the political
domination of the Mormon hierarchy
then 1t is not thing to be desired But
the country will hope for the removal of
this serious fear, and the admission of

THE GREAT CONVENTION,


The great Democratic convention has
finished its work and accomplished the
purpose for which it was convened.
The address adopted by that magnifi-
cent assembly will appeal to the man
hood On every citizen of Utah. and can
not fan to be productive of everlasting
benefit TO the people of these noun
tains. Il is q declaration of indepen-
dence that viii be echoed in every vale.
and receive endorsement from the great
body Of the people in every part of the
territory
i IS Gratifying to know that on the
important question discussed at the
convention, the party is practically
Unit The number who desired the
cessation of effort to elect the party
candidates and vote against statehood,
were 50 few as to count for nothing in
the overwhelming vote for the carrying
on of the campaign and the completion
Of the work of redemption from terri
<orial vassalage.
The convention was a grand and
enthusiastic endorsement of the course
of the chairman of the state committee,
in the presence of the crisis that CON
fronted not only the Democratic party
bat the liberty-loving people of Utah
of all parties and classes.
There can be no mistak;ng the de-
termination OF the masses of the peo-
pie on the question of church inter
ference in political affairs. It will have
to be stopped entirely. or there will be
trouble such as Utah has never seen
even in its darkest and most turbulent
times. It is useless for anyone to
dispute the facts set forth in
the address. It is certain that such
things will be submitted TO no longer
without a revolt which will be most
disastrous to those who engage IN
them.
one thing the convention demon
strated was that the Democratic party
is alive and ready to push the fight to
a nnish. Now let the call in the adj
dress he responded to, and let the adj
dress adopted be read in every town,
village and hamlet on Wednesday. Oc-
tober 20, with a ringing endorsement
Of the principles it enunciates.
Church and state must forever be
separate and distinct in Utah. Relig-
10y must be free; politics must be
free. The right to worship according
TO the dictates Of conscience alone must
not be infringed; the right to vote on
the same principle must not be inter
fered with under any pretext.
The atmosphere is now cleared and
the way is plain. The Democratic
party will press forward to the victory
which must come to it sooner or later
and which there is every reason to be-
neve will crown its efforts next
November if the influences complained
Of are not exercised to prevent it.
We do not believe they will be, or If
they are that they viii prevail, and so
ne look for triumph for the Demo-
cratic ticket and the state constitu-
ton. as the result of the recalled
Democratic state convention of 1895.

Go slow with Utan.

The story comes from Salt Lake City
that Joseph +. Smith. one OF the presl-
dents OF the church OF Latter-day Saints
publicly rebuked two members OF that
church who are the nominees of the
Democrats for governor and senator of
the new state OF Utah, because they did
not consult and obtain the consent OF
the hierarchy before accepting the nomi-
nations. This rebuke is said to have been
made at the priesthood meeSng during
the recent conference of the church, and
agrees with the eXhortation to obedience
to the hierarchy which was made by an
other OF the apostles at the same con-
ference-Apostle Thatcher, who is one of
the Candidates now said to have been re-
buked by President Smith. If this story
is true it should be carefully considered
by Congress in all its bearings before
any further steps are taken towards the
admission of Utah TO the Union for there
IS no room for a state which is TO be
openly dominated by any ecclesiastical
machine, no matter what its claims TO
authority may be.-Springdeld, Mass,

THE REPUBLICAN position on the
question Of United States Senator's is
that it is all right for legislative candi-
dates to pledge themselves against sen
atcrial candidates, but that it is all
wrong for them to be pledged in open
convention for senatorial candidates.
