GOVERNOR WEST TALKS.

Since Governor West has been in
his criticism of the way in which the
Democratic campaign in Utah was
conducted, if he is reported correctly
In the st. Louis Globe-Democrat of
Wednesday last he is reported as fol-
! lows:
The campaign was not conducted
with marked wisdom on our side in
any respect. One big blunder was the
nomination of United States Senators
in the State convention, against the
protest of Weber county, of which
Ogden is the county seat. Again, the
pronunciamento put out against the
Mormon church was not a polite or
necessary move. seeing that the church
as religious organization has moth
ing to do with political parties, and
was in no wise to blame for the atti-
tide of any individual member This
undoubtedly cost the Democratic party
a lot Of votes.
The campaign may not have been
conducted with marked wisdom" on
the Democratic side, but it was con-
Quoted with the best wisdom the party
could command, and all through the
campaign the party never once realized
in any degree that 1t had neglected
any particular source of wisdom. If
it did it is to be regretted
Governor West was always hostile
to the nomination OF candidates for
United States Senators by the people
and in the Salt Lake county convention
made a gallant fight for his views,
though conscious all the time that he
was making losing fight He was also
opposed to their nomination by the
State convention at Ogden, and never
became reconciled to it. But such ac-
ton was deemed wise by the assembled
representatives of the entire Democ-
racy Of Utah, with the exception of
the delegation from one county So
irreconcilable has the Governor been
on this matter that many have
thought that perhaps there was some
thing more than political reasons back
of it all AS to this we cannot saw.
The address put forth by the reas-
sembled Ogden convention may not
have been "a polite or necessary
move from the sole point of view of
getting votes, but from the point of
view of right principle and freedom of
political action in Utah, it was abso-
lutely necessary. There are times in
the history Of state when mere mat
ters of political eXpediency should be
cast aside for the higher duty of pa
triotism. Such an occasion was that
which caused the reassembling of the
Ogden convention in the Salt Lake
Theatre on October % last. The Demo-
Gratis there assembled acted as Amer
lean citizens who placed country be-
fore party.
Why Governor West should be SO
condemnatory of the Democratic cam
paign in Utah, we cannot understand.
and when he says it was not con.
Quoted with marked WISDOM" we are
tempted to reply in the words of Job:

wisdom shall die with you"

PARTISAN SCHOOL ELECTIONS.

When our new school system was
inaugurated the elections for members
of the board Of educate were largely
nonpartisan, but they have gradually
become more and more partisan. The
idea back of nonpartisan school cleo
tons was that the very best men
would be selected as members of the
board, men who would have the inter
est Of the schools al heart above all
things. If this result is not accom-
plished the reason for such nonpartisan
elections ceases.
The actual political complexion of
the board is in reality a matter of very
small concern to the people provided
the members are honest and able men
and do not carry their politics into the
schools. The politics of one party
would be as Objectionable in the
schools as the politics of another
There is no choice between them in
this respect.
If politics ever enter our schools and
become a factor, then goodbye to the
efficiency of the schools. 1t would
mean that the building of school
houses and the furnishing of them
could only be done by those who were
of the same political faith as the
board And this would mean corrup-
ton and boodling.
1t would mean the hiring of all
school EN- ployees from ianitor to prin-
cipals and superintendent according
to their political opinions and not
their fitness. Character and ability,
large learning and the power to impart
it, would count as naught against a
pull" that most damna'bie Of things
in our American politics. He or she
who was most accomplished in the art
of fawning and backbiting would have
the preference over those better auali-
fed every time. And this would be
so with the ore party as we'll as with
the other.
Whether our school elections are to
be partisan or nonpartisan, only the
best men should be placed in nomina-
ton. The office should be given to no
man because of his political services
and as a reward. Our schools are our
pride but they will cease TO be if poll
tics shall control them. Let our
schools continue to be our pride In the
future as in the past

WORTHY OF ALL PRAISE.

The rapidity with which the hold-ups
who were SO quickly arrested by the
police were brought to justice and sent
TO the penitentiary, is so remarkable
in these times Of the laws delays as to
occasion much comment It is all of a
favorable character. The police are to
be commended for their promptness
and diligence, Officer Raleigh especially
for his heroic determination; and grand
jury for finding indictments at once
when the evidence was presented; the
prosecuting officers for their alertness,
and the judge for the sentences he
pronounced.
There is one thing 10 be considered
in all this, and that is the confession
of the culprits. If they had deter
mined to stand on their defence, and
had been possessed of money enough
to pay for the best legal talent in their
behalf, there is no telling how long the
case might have been made to linger
along, with chances for the escape of
the guilty proportional to the delay
secured.
AS it is. the public are to be con-
graduated on the result and all par
ties engaged in the capture and pun
ishment of the criminals for their
work. This should be an incentive to
further efforts of a similar character
If the other footpads who are still at
large can be bagged and brought to
justice. it will be an additional fea Their
in the cap Of honor which our police
force will be entitled to wear. Clean
out the whole gang, and establish pub
lie confidence and a sense of public
security!

DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.

| That the Democrats OF Utah did not
! carry the late election does not relieve
them of a duty. They made the fight
because they believed that those prin-
ciples of government which they pro-
fess are true and best calculated to
| further the welfare of and happiness
of the people Those principles did not
| triumph, while those which Democrats
believe to be wrong and pernicious
did, and this triumph devolves upon
| them the duty of preparing for the
| campaign Of next year.
The late campaign had some very
peculiar issues, issues that were Who'll
/ ly unexpected, but which were met as
they should have been. They may or
may not recur in future. But in every
campaign that we shall have in Utah
there will recur the issue whether the
taxing power shall be used exclusively
for the benefit of the state or whether
it shall be used for the benefit of IA
vored industries. The doctrine of pro-
lection and its application by Congress
will affect Utah as it affects the ma
ton at large, but the doctrine of the
right of the State Legislature to col
lect taxes from all the people of Utah
to be distributed to a portion of her
people in the form of bounties and
premiums. is a matter that concerns
the people of Utah most intimately,
and them alone. That is the doctrine
of the Republican party and that our
first State Legislature will try to put
1t into full operation there is little
doubt. The increased taxes made
necessary by statehood will be suf-
f1ciently heavy without the addition of
more that bounties may be raised.
1t still remains the duty of the
Democratic party to combat such per-
nicious errors in the theory of govern
ment and to relieve the people from
the consequences of them when put in
practice.
The party should get together and
where its organization is weak or i'm
perfect it should be made strong and
perfect We believe there were no
jealousies in the party during the
campaign but if there were any they
should be put aside and all should
unite for the common good. Let us
see if Utah cannot be made to cast
her first vote for a President of the
United States for a Democratic Presi-
dent That one object should inspire
every Democrat to do all in his power
to make his party triumphant next
year

lead of Mr.. Cleveland. The Herald was
against the third term principle when
1t was proposed to nominate General
Grant for a third time, and we strongly
opposed the idea In a series of most effec-
tive articles written by a we'll known
and brilliant writer. But General Grant
was a soldier, and Caesarism is always
feared from a strong-minded military
genius. Mr.. Cleveland is a civilian, and
hence the case is now entirely different:
There is no occasion for any anti-third
term sentiment and no Caesarism to
fear If he should be again nominated and
elected.
Democrats cannot put US stronger
man, and they will make a serious mis-
take if they nominate dark horse The
Herald does not believe in dark horses.
'she. country has tried too many OF them
horses. Mr.. Morton is a very respectable
gentleman and has made a good governor
of New York state, which has just given
such a handsome Republican majority.
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid is a brilliant journal
list. He served his country with signal
credit as minister to France and became
known throughout the length and breadth
of the land as the candidate for vice.
president. If the Republicans put up
either Governor Morton of Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid Democrats will have to make their
strongest possible nomination ii they hope
to win, notwithstanding the third-term
talk which, as we have shown, now
has little force. We think their strongest
and best man is Mr.. Cleveland, who bag
made a good president and to whom the
Democratic party ought to be grateful
and owe a great deal.-New York Herald

This despicable and perfidous character
abounds in our politics today. He is
the legitimate product of the existing
political conditions. He is without con-
scientious scruples, and consequently
knows nothing of moral principles. The
