And 1t Was the Cause In After Years of
Another's Doing Likewise.
A pleasing story Of Rufus King as a
young man, told by one of his friends
to another many years ago. has re-
Gently been retold.
It seems that Mr.. King, then young
lawyer in the practice of his profession
in Boston, had been detained over a
cast which called him to Plymouth un-
til late one Saturday evening. 1t was
necessary that he should be back i'll
Boston Monday morning, SO he mounted
his horse early on Sunday and began =
leisnrely journey home ward.
After several hours travel he came
to a plain little wooden building on a
roadside knoll, through the doors and
windows of which, open to admit the
balmy air of summer, he could see an
assembled congregation apparently en-
gagged in religious services.
Alighting, out of Difference to the
day, Mr.. King quietly hitched his horse
to a tree, entered and sat down, ex-
pecting to be presently edited by hymn
or Much to his surprise
neither was forthcoming, and he pres
emily perceived that he was attending
a Quaker meeting in a season when
the spirit did not move any Of the
worthy brethren to discourse.
Dead silence prevailed and continued,
with no prospect Of a break, as long as
the unexpected guest could endure it.
Then he rose in his place, and, without
explanation or introduction, delivered
an address upon suitable topics-a
most excellent impromptu sermon, in
fact-to which, good as it was in mat
ter, his manner, which was hat Of the
born orator, his youth, his dress of
"the worlds people," his handsome
presence and the surprise Of his auditors
lent still further effect.
He spoke for some twenty minutes
and then slipped out as u~nobtrusively
as he had entered, leaving behind him
an astonished and delighted congrega-
ton and q mystery that employed the
tongues Of the village gossips for months
to come.
It was at length solved-to the sur
prise of Mr.. King and a very different
kind of audience-some years later,
when the young lawyer, then a dis
tinguished man, rose during a session
Of the Massachusetts constitutional
convention to make a motion. He was
no soone upon his feet and facing his
honorable colleagues than a Quaker
member in a back seat came suddenly
to his feet also, forgetful Of time and
place, and cried, in an irrepressible out
burst:

All the nominations are good, and

THE CONVENTION CALL.

The Democratic State committee af-
ter due and careful deliberation, after
a full and free discussion by members
of the committee, candidates and lead
ing Democrats, has issued a call for the
reconvening, in this city on Tuesday,
the 22nd inst. of the Ogden convention
of September ). 1895. The action of the
committee will meet with the hearty
approval of the party
Only grave crisis that threatens
not only the welfare and success of the
Democratic party but that threatens
the most vital and sacred interests of
all the people of Utah, could have
justified the recovering of the conven-
ton. Such is the crisis that confronts
the people of Utah today That crisis
is well expressed in the language of
the call: Efforts are being made to
cause people who have been taught to
reverence authority to believe that the
dominant church of Utah desires the
defeat of the Democratic ticket. And
those Who know how potent that au-
thorfty is are aware that if it can be
invoked in behalf of any political par
ty no matter by what means, the sue
cess of that party is assured. Therein
lies the danger that makes the crisis,
the danger that is the threat of the
future, and to forever free Utah and
her people from it is the object that
prompted this call
The call is earnest yet moderate. az
it should be, but it states the case
plainly, firmly, respectfully, giving Of
tense to none; careful to avoid any
thing that would tend to infame the
public mind; conservative to degree
it is such document as the, needs of
the hour demand. 1t attacks no man.
no set Of men; it neither attributes nor
impugns motives. but it demands com
plete political independence for every
man and woman, free from fnterfer
ence from any ecclesiastical power, no I
matter under what pretext made.
1t is the most important political
document ever put forth in Utah and
deserves the careful consideration Of
everyone.

trequents headquarters knows beyond
doubt. From all parts of Utah were
constantly coming words of good
cheer, accompaniedx by figures which
guaranteed success. Democrats who
stayed from the polls last year were
determined to support their party fully
THIS year. Many "doubtfuls" who
voted with the Republicans year
ago, expressed their determination
to vote for the Democratic candidates
next November. Not a few Republi-
cans, dissatisfied with the candidates
OF their party. declared they would
support the Democratic ticket.
These are truths well known to so
many people of Utah of both parties
that the statement to the contrary is
ridiculous in its utter falsity, and proof
OF the utter disregard of truth on the
part OF those who have uttered it,
whether by word of mouth Or in
newspaper print
Inc only reason why a change has
come over the political atmosphere is
because Republicans have taken ad-
vantage of unfortunate remarks, which
nave been construed into an intfna-
non that the Democratic party must

have suddenly doomed up will soon

TURN, confidence will be restored. and

REPUBLICAN, FALsEHooDs.

We published about the time of the
Democratic state convention the prob
able reason why none Of the Richards
family were this year taking any ac-
tive part in politics. 1t was because
they had fully canvassed the situation
and saw no hope for their party this
year.
The foregoing is from the Republic
can paper which is not a Republican
organ" Yes, it did publish the prob
able reason but it was in reference
to what everybody who knows any
thing of current events knows was
Tribuneism, which being interpreted
means a whole cloth lie. For the
Richards family are taking an active
part in politics." Franklin S. Richards
lively for the Democratic party. c. c.
Richards is doing the same. Mrs
Emily S. Richards is writing irrefu-
table articles exposing the evils of
Republicanism, making political
speeches and working at the head of
a political committee.
We mention these facts to show on
what false premises the sheet in ques-
ton POUNDS its alleged arguments.
About the same time as it made the
untruthful statement quoted above, it
was trying to make the public believe
that there was a Richards faction
in the Democratic party, as opposed
to a Republican faction 1t was an
other Tribuneism. There was no such
faction. THE Richards family were
and are as active workers for Joseph
L. Rawlins as any one in the party,
and there was positively nothing in
the faction" idea.
Now as to the mo hope for their
party this year" fallacy. That has
been used by the Chairman of the Re-
publican committee. 1t is as false as
the first assertion in the paragraph
we have clipped. Up to Monday the
7th inst, there was not only a sure
and certain hope Of victory by the
Democrats of Utah, but a profound
conviction founded on the most en-
couraging and enthusiastic reports

tory, but it is not so with regard tc
President Smith. He has been very
much in evidence in every campaign
and somehow or other either ne has
not been able to segregate his ecclesi-
astIcal influence from his political in
Huence, or else the people have been
sadly wanting in the capacity to dis
Germ the segregation. The result has
been the same in either ease.
Once before Presidents Woodruff and
Smith put forth declaration that
they had no desire to influence the Deo-
pie one way or the other in matters
political. The declaration was accept
ed in good faith, yet Notwithstanding
1t a pernicious ecclesiastical influence
was exercised in politics by parties
who had party ends to serve No one
for single moment thought of charg-
ing the venerable President of the
Church and his counselor with perffdy
but no one could not fail to note that
their names were being used perffdi-
ously by somebody. These facts caused
some to question the sincerity of the
declaration.
The pledge of that declaration hav-
ing been violated, people not stopping
10 distinguish between those who made
1T and those who violated it, is it to be
wondered at that subsequent declara-
tons on the same subject are not re-
as they are put forth?
If the present statements of these
two members OF the First Presidency
do not have the effect to cause an alb
solute and instant cessation of the use
of the priesthood meeting incident for
political purposes, and if the harm i'll
has done to the Democrats is not IN
done by having those lesser church au-l
thorities who have used it declare toI
those to whom they used 1T that they
did so without the sanction of the
First Presidency, whose names they
used then people will draw their own
conclusions.
