plain to those who understand him and
his methods. He wishes to placate the
people of the west and south. He is
like many other very cunning politi-
cions, Impressed with the idea that he
can gull the masses and pose as their
friend, while all the time he is the
friend only of w. E. Chandler, a. man
with large ambition and larger egot-
ism.
When England, France and Germany
pass a free silver coinage bill at the
ratio of 15R to 1, the United States
will fall into line, of course. Who will
be deceived by that? Waiting for the
consent of those nations is the bette
noir of the silver question. Why not
say when the North Pole is discovered.
or when perpetual motion is an accom-
plished feat?
Chandler wants to play silver with
the silverites, and gold with the gold
ties as he Winks to them the other
eye 1t will not do. 1t is paltering
with the silver question. 1t is worse
than that. Such a law would have
the effect of disposing of the free COIN
age of silver for years and pushing it
aside from congressional consideration.
1t is not at all unlikely, however, that
it will be caught up by the opponents
of free coinage in the Republican
party as a sort of compromise on the
question, solely for election purposes.
Every free silver paper and advocate
in the country ought to rise UP against
it and bury it out of sight as a trans
parent subterfuge and a patent fraud.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-12-06
A LESSON FROM THE ELECTION.

The Democratic party of Utah should
study the figures of the election re-
turns. particularly as they relate to the
offices elective by the whole body of
voters. 1t will be seen that 5000 regis
tered voters failed to cast a ballot on
November 5, 1895. No doubt many
persons entitled to register failed to
have their names enrolled as voters,
making a probable deficiency of about
10000 citizens nj the total vote of the
territory.
That is something which ought to be
corrected. The managers of the party
should carefully investigate the mat
ter, with a view to the discovery of
how many qualified Democrats failed
to register and how many who regis
tered failed to vote. We are of the
opinion that the majority of the non
voters were persons who had not fully
identified themselves with either politi-
cal party, and who were so confused by
peculiar influences, conflicting asser-
lions and repulsive recriminations
from opposing politicians that they de-
cided not to take and part in the
election. The resolve was foolish and
the result was deplorable. Last year
the votes for Delegate stood: Democrat
ic, 1888; Republican, 21,343. This
year the votes for Representative stand:
Democrats (Roberts) 1866; Republi-
can (Allen) 90 $685. This is gain for
the Democratic candidate and a loss
for the Republican, although the lat
far- 11oc x11,, = On-
full candidates plurality in 1894 was
1920. The Populist nominee (Hogan)
polled 1,150 votes this year, but this
increase over last year does not balance
the difference in the respective Repub-
ican votes of 1894 and 1895 So far as
the vote for Congressman goes, the
Democrats may congratulate them
selves on an increase on their side and
a decrease on the side of the enemy.
The Republican pluralities for other
officers range from 1,770 to 2,465. The
different degrees of popularity of the
candidates account for the variations
in the figures. Roberts led all the
Democratic candidates in his total. and
his figures are in the nature of par
AloA hiSSOAS SOlIlEd1 41lS5 l41C NOIC VI Ills
successful adversary with that of his
running associates.
Next year measures should be taken
in every county and precinct to create
an interest in all the citizens to regis
ter, then to induce all those who are
registered to go to the polls on election
day. Additional interest will be arous-
ed by the addition of the woman vote,
which may change the result materi-
ally. The right to vote implies the
duty to vote, and the Democrats of
Utah should endeavor to educate the
people, not only in those principles
which enter into our system of govern
ment, so that they may be able to
detect the fallacies and falsehoods of
Republicanism, but also in the import
ance Of the trust involved in the cleo
tive franchise and the necessity for its
intelligent exercise by every person
upon whom it is conferred. The eiec-
ton of 1895 conveyed many lessons
which may be studied with profit to
ell.

INNOCENT COTTON AND SILVER.

The Springfield Republican saws that
according to one of the new congress
men from Mississippi an old farmer il.
that state who had been strong adj
vocate of silver was recently asked
which he would rather have, innocent
cotton or free silver. The answer was
prompt and emphatic, "Nine-cent cot
ton by a d-n sight And the Repub-
lean declares that this is the state
of mind generally prevalent in the
South outside of Mississippi and that
its existence IS rec ognizcd by silver
men from other sections. Whether
that sentiment is prevalent throuehc
the South we do not pretend to know.
but doubt it.
1t is very easy to understand the old
Mississippi farmers position, and it
was the most natural o,.e IN the world.
But the old mississippi Turner failed
to see the connection between the low
price of cotton and the dem III citation
of silver. Had he been student of
economics and skilled in tracing back
from effects to their causes be would
not have answered as he diI, for he
would have seen that the very thing
he most desired-nine-cent cotton
would have been realized with the free
coinage of silver.
How will he get his innocent cotton?
At present he has neither that nor
free silver. In fact that old Missis-
sippi farmer is like that OLD Vermont
farmer who desired 70 purchase mill
and site for dam. lie WAS told CT
a place where he could find just what
he wanted, and there he went. Tut a
big storm came on before he visited
the spot, yet he went and looked at it
and reported as follows: Il went up
the stream and found there was no
site by a mill dam and no mill by
d-n sight"

DATE OF uTAH's ADMISSION.

The constitution of the proposed
state Of Utah having been adopted by
an overwhelming majority (91,3O5 in
favor, 1887 against), people are natur-
ally wondering when the President will
issue his proclamation declaring Utah
a state. It will be at least a week be-
fore the official notification of the
adoption Of the constitution can reach
Washington, and after that some time
will be required for it to come to the
Presidents hands. Naturally he will
want a little time in which to give the
instrument adopted the consideration
it should have. although it is quite
likely he is already familiar with it
to some extent, as Governor West has
been in Washington some time and
! has no doubt conversed with Mr.. Cleve-
land upon the subject. AS to when
the President will take action upon
the subject it is a matter of conjec-
ture, each finding reasons to think it
will be when he desires it.
4 reference to the time elapsing be-
tween the vote on the adoption of the
constitution and the date of the admis-
sion in the cases of the more recently
admitted states will not be without
some interest at the present time
The enabling acts for the territories
of Montana, Washington and Dako-
ia were passed February %, 1889. 1t
was provided therein that the elections
for the ratification of the constitu-
tons framed in pursuance Herewith
should be held on the first Tuesday in
October, 1889. The constitutions of the
four proposed states having been
adopted, President Harrison issued his
proclamation declaring the admission
of North Dakota and South Dakota
complete November 2, 1889. He issued
his proclamation declaring the adj
mission of Montana complete Novem-
Der 8, 1889, and his proclamation in
the case of Washington November II,
1889.
The Idaho constitutional convention
completed its work July 4, 1889, and
the people voted for the adoption of
the constitution on the first Tuesday
in November, 1889, but Congress did
not pass the act for her admission as
a state until July 3, 1890, eight months
after the adoption of the constitution
by the people.
In the case of Wyoming, the con-
vention completed its work September
80, 1889, and the people adopted the
constitution at an election held on the
first Tuesday in November, 1885, The
act Of Congress for Wyomings aClnis-
sion as state was passed July 10,
1890. The time elapsing between the
adoption of the constitution and the
date Of admission being eight months,
as in the case of Idaho.
lHrom the history of the admission of
the above states it still remains quite
impossible to say when Utah VIII be
admitted. If the precedent in the cases
of the Dakotas, Montana and Wash
ington is followed, Utah may he
state before the new year. And as
these states were admitted on procIa-
nation, and as Utah will be also, it
is not at all improbable that the pre-
cedent as to the time between the
adoption Of the constitution and the
date of admission in their case VIII be
followed rather than that in the case
of Idaho and Wyoming. Everybody
trusts that it will be-

AN INHERITED POLICY.

In uttering their lamentations, dia-
tribes and excavations over portions of
the Presidents message to Congress,
seem to forget OF ignore one important
fact. That is, the financial policy of
President Cleveland is Republican pol
icy in every particular. 1t is inherited
policy Every law and regulation I'M
der which the Cleveland administration
has proceeded were of Republican or
igin; bonds, goldisn, redemption of
government paper as demanded by the
holder, schemes for the maintenance Of
the gold reserve, and all.
Charging Cleveland with the finan-
cial troubles of this nation, which are
certainly the result Of Republican leg
islation and expedients, is the most con-
temptible kind Of cheap demagogism.
Of course it is INDUCED in by a near
contemporary, which is nothing when
Invested of paltry claptrap.
The President of the United States
cannot enact law or change a law.
The financial policy which has been
condemned in the Cleveland admins
tration, in reference to the payment Of
gold when demanded by the holder of
notes redeemable in coin, is that pur-
sued by the preceding Republican adj
ministration and formulated in the
Sherman law of 1890.
Every bond issued under Cleveland
was authorized by laws enacted under
Republican rule. The necessity for
their issuance was the result of Repub-
lican administration of the nations
finances. Denial of these facts is use
less The laws that authorized the
bonds are on the statute books, the
depletion of the gold reserve has fol-
lowed the operation of Republican laws
and Republican policy, which are mat
ters of record.
To expect the Democratic party DUR
ing its short term of power in Congress
to right all the financial wrongs piled
up by decades of Republican malad-
ministration, is demanding the impos-
sible. To blame the President, who
can neither make nor unmake a law,
for the evil results of bad legislation,
accommodating under Republican power,
is just like the usual course of political
charlatans and low class journalistic
humbugs.
The cure suggested by silver advo-
Gates may be the proper remedy. That
it is not SO regarded by the present
administration may be unfortunate.
But it must not be forgotten that if
Benjamin Harrison were in the execu-
tive chair, he would not regard the
opinions of the silver men with any
more favor than that by which they
are entertained by the present incum-
bent. Silver has no more chance for
restoration under Republican than
Democratic management of national
affairs. And the gold policy of today
is Republican policy, inaugurated in
1873, continued and emphasized ever
since, and inherited from the Harri-
son administration by Cleveland and
his cabinet. Let candid people of all
parties consider and confess the truth
