STIRRING UP STRIFE.

SatUr az morning we were very much
Burpriss1 TO read the letter of Mr.. Il. ].
DInir in the Herald, but not nearly so
muc rprised at it as at that papers
reply. We ere just entering upon a
campaigr in hich every democrat will
be neeGe1-- demanded, if we would
be able 80 make headway against the
cpmmCn foe . al. Then just why
Mr.. Dininn 8 lcud choose this partic-
ular juncture With its delicate sur
rouudings. to urge objections to the
political course OF the Herald and its
conductors, We cannot very well zee.
But having done SO we equally fail to
see just why the Herald should accord
il the Importance which it Idoes. This
ill-timed squabble might, with pro-
priety, 60 over until more convenient
SEASON, say until the enemy had been
met and beaten. Then we could have
formed ring ard Mr.. D. and the edi-
tor of tie Herald could have stripped
and fought it out in comfort and all
would have enjoyed the 'mill'' more
or less, save perhaps the combatants
themselves. As it is, we fear they en-
joy it and they alone, save the common
fos lthe republican party.
Mr. Dininny certainly states some
troublesome facts, but to what pur-
pose? ls there now occasion for them2
II they are all true and undisputed
will their publication just now tend to
cament the warning elements of the
party9 Is the Hersld's reply likely to
RmeIiorate the bitterness or soften the
asperItieS? We fear not. The Herald
indicated during the discussion of suf-
frage in the convention, that il had a
chip on its shoulder and it would like
TO stand face to face with the man hav-
ing courage enough to knock it off.
The fact is it seemed to court a row,
democrats preferred. In this matter
with Mr.. Dininny its evident relish for
the scrap is apparent to all, and it
gives palpable evidence to substantlate
his charge that it knows and cares far
more about church matters than de-
m)cracy.
We have heard it charged many
times during and since the late cam
paign that church influence was used
in favor of Mr.. Cannon. But We can
not accept the statement But the
charge has been made and one de.
voted democrat, who is a Mormon,
remarked to US Saturday, that now
was as good a time as any in which
TO definitely settle the mooted q1es-
ton. Ii the charge is true, said be
the sooner the church receives COM
petent re5uke the better it will be; if
not true, the sooner the charge is dis.
proven and the church relieved from
it, why the better that will also be.
Some Of Mr., Dininny's statements and
figures seem difficult to disprove; GER
tainly the Herald has not answered
them. We do not wond.r at that be-
cause the paper is mad, very mad. 1t
is in a rage and raging man is not
usually long on logic. The Herald's bad
temper and abuse of the author of the
letter does not answer Its charges. Per.
NIT Mr.. DininnY to hays his way
when he claims that the party is with
out an organ. What harm will that
do?
Tne HsraId's whole course in this
matter is more like what one would
expect from a half grown, not mora |
than halfgrown, child-and badly
trained st that-than a calm reasoning |
maa intent upon guarding his party |
from making a mistake, rather than |
defending his church from an unjust |
charge. Let the church take care of |
ilself, but let tue leading dem Jcratic |
paper OF Utah look well to it, that if |
Mr.. DininDy or any one else Is injur
ing the party that he or they be met
with calm dignity, fair argument and
lndisputable facts and not with utter
'oSAAAASIF cAc III bAlAo CdoC. w ndk DuS- |
ness is it Of the Herald'5 how long Mr..
D. has been In the territory? 1t has
'nly to do with the arguments be pre-
ents, and nothing waatever with the
ength OF time he has consumed in
them or bis manner in pre-
enting them.
II Mr.. D. has made an ass of himself,
s the Herald seems to think he has,
et him bray himself out of the di
emma: but the Herald can with great
ropriety abandol its Queruloas :
JUNIORS, cease lite seedlings and recall
he fact that it is not, in person, re-
ponsible for more than half of the
Mistakes and blunders M ede by others,
Ior yet for their unfaitLfulness, either
Is democrats or citizens.
OF course the Tribune ticks its chops
