Ogden Standard Makes Some NcceS-
sary Changes of Wording.
The editorial in the Tribune on Sun
day regarding THE Sacred Ballot has
been cleverly taken up by the Ogden
Standard, in an editorial, pertinent ex-
tracts from which are given as fol-
I lows:
1--WE publish herewith the following
editorial, which appeared in the Sun
day edition of the Tribune. We give it
in full with a few added words in or
der that the people may have explained
to them what the Tribune intended
should be read between the lines. II is
surprising that the Tribune dares come
out SO boldly; but it is playing a des-
perate game and must of necessity put
on bold and fearless front Every
body should read and study the article
carefully:
THE Sacred Ballot"
when the fathers framed our gov
eminent they reasoned that. if the
people could be given perfect freedom
there would come with it that love of
country which makes everybody wiser
than anybody, and that being so, it
was perfectly safe to leave the destiny
of the country to the ballots of a free
people. On condition that the Tribune
SHAH name the candidates to be bal
loted for in Utah
1T Ghe BALLOT was to decide what
kind of government would prevail
with the Tribune's permission.
The ballot was sent as a defense to
the people to be controlled by a pure
and holy newspaper like the Tribune
when wealth grows insolent, and not
controlled by the Tribune, and it's pos
SCISSOR believes the use of it can turn
the ballot in his favor. then every
honest man ought to take alarm.
Goodwin's Wires.
Just now in Utah the wires are be-
ing stretched, golden wires, with the
intention of corrupting this people, the
Tribune has always done this. And it
alone can do it and do it right We are
now placing within the grasp of
Judge CD c. c. Goodwin, who, on his
merits. could never hope for such an
honor. the highest Office in the gift of
this people. Let no decent people be
disturbed. That kind of politics is
going to win in Utah. A few men pos
sibly may not be bulldozed but the
people will have the ballot, and with
that instrument they will make the
Tribune prevail. If they do it any
other way. they will consign any party
which thus schemes against the Trib-
une to defeat, and if such a drastic
course is necessary, it will be right
The Imported Editor.
1t must never be told in Utah that
any adventurer o:he- than the i'm
ported editor from n ,vada was able
10 coz to this territory and bull
doZe his way into the most august of
bodies. The Roman senate, in it's
m stately days, did not compare
with the Senate of the United States.
and to attain a seat in that Senate
honorably is an honor greater than
to be editor of the Tribune, there
fore we want that honor. The cry on
every lip this year should be for
square deal and the Tribune 1t is
more essential this year than it ever
has been before for the Tribune to he
in control, because with the election
this year the change will come from a
territorial condition to that of
sovereign state, and at this election
more than at any other this people
ought to establish that they are fit 10
have the boon of Tlibuneism bestow-
ed upon them, and that when they
