The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-07-23

Chief Devine may we'll congratulate
himself that he is out of politics.
lie had circus on in the fire de-
partment, but that is only like a side
snow at a gigantic hippodrome.
Ihe two factions of the Republican
party are now at war. The gauntlet
Drown out by the Tribune has been
H0fomptly taken up by the Standard
and the other machine Republican
organs will soon fall into line. In
ooubteiiy the Tribune has made the
mistake of its lifetime. 1t must now
take up the fight against the COM
blned Republican country press Of
Utah or retire in disgrace from the
N8ht 1t has brought on by its own
Efforts Its policy now seems rule or
rum and 1t is quite likely to adopt the
brick wall
Republicans Are Gloomy.
The action OF the Tribune WIS Tho
sole topic of conversation in noiiticaI
circles yesterday. Republicans were
gloomy. They foressrw in this s,,nb a
promise Of dissension that their marty
ktvu4o not nope TO conquer in time for
Are next election. More than that a
large clement of them were exceed-
lngly troubled. They had been hoping
that the predictions of The Herald of
open warfare would prove unfounded
) and that they could go along without
: allegiance TO either side until the con-
Vention met. and then they could
take up the cause Of the regular
ticket. Now. however. they will be
forced into the open. One side or the
other will demand their allegiance in
, such a way that they cannot help
Afaking sides. Thus is a good reserve,
Z which, in the event of a quiet under
fhe-surface warfare might have been
relied upon to come to the relief of
the party, will be broken I'D into
fragments. We are to have political
civil war. Brother will turn against
brother. The closest Ct political ties
will be broken.
Thoroughly Ridiculous.
The attempt of Judge Goodwin to
justify his editorial on the ground of
patriotism and horror at corruption
was productive merely of ridicule.
Men looked at one another and asked
when It was that the Tribune had
shown such a terrible hatred for cor
Eruption Men who had known of the
{past record, when the paper was the
ttdefender of by far the worst corrup-
ton ever known in the territory,
smiled when they read this loSty pre-
tense Of patriotism and wondered at
the lack of political acumen and tact
that had dictated such a statement
from such d source. The trouble Is
the breaking of the idol has not been
taken into account. The writer still
supposed himself enveloped in a gar
ment Of sanctity that forbade a
glance at his defects. In reality he
has been stripped bare of this pre-
nd cra 4 e = = - Hinder
such circumstances to stand horror
stricken at the spectacle of the
coloners corruption reminds one OF
that ancient story of the pot calling
the kettle black.
An Echo of the Herald.
: Perhaps there is no word of I'M
3Iuth in the Tlibune's attack upon
t'rumbo. except that in relation TO
.fhe Cleveland convention. ""e other
charges have been reiterated many
times in The Herald. But the Tri-
hume shoLId not forget one thing.
When it makes such charges 1t IS
open to counter charges. In the end, +!
after The battle has been fought the
Deople will awake to the fact that Re |
publican supremacy, looked at in the !
hest possible light, means an adj
ninistration of incompetency, II not |
downright dishonesty no matter /
which faction may WIN Neither one /
n
1ieence and patriotism, the honesty /
and INDUSTRY of the great people who (
have made Utah great and nothing |
Will more strikinglv develop that Iact |
than me civil warfare now on within /

Women Ask For Deccncy.
The effect among the Democrats is
most salutary. If they had ever en-
tertained any doubts that their cause

no longer any room for them to do So
A disrupted party cannot hope 10

Determination Men fighting for OF

Thev have been promised tnat the

EndeT- the circumstances they must

feeling is making itself felt and the
RepubIican women are cognizant of it.
Thev are not meeting with encourage

The latest developments in the fac
sionaI war are found in the two fore
most papers-the Tribune and Stand
ard. The Tribune said, editorially,
yesterday: Il
IA gentleman thanked US yesterday
for tbe editorial in yesterdays Trib-
une calling for q square deal in poll
ties, and incidentally remarked: "Just

seems TO be headed by fake and a
