AN URGENT DUTY.

The Herald once more urges upon the
citizens of Utah, male and female, the
duty of becoming registered so that
they may be able to vote at the No
vember election. There may be some
who just now feel Indifferent as to
whether they shall vote or not There
are ladies who have not yet become
sufficiently interested in political affairs
as to be concerned about casting a
ballot for the candidate of either party.
It is probable, however, that by the
time the election shall take place they
will have changed their minds on this
matter. No citizen will be compelled
to vote because he or she is registered.
but no one can vote without registra-
ton. For that reason no citizen should
neglect to avail himself of the oppor
tunity to become enrolled on the regis
tration lists. The approaching election
VIII be the most important ever held
n Utah up to that date. Before the
day arrives we believe that every man
and woman who values the welfare of
Utah will be anxious and ready to use
motion of good government. OF course
there will be a variety of views as to
the parties and the candidates most
likely to bring about that result. But
we believe that the people will be SO
walked up as to the Importance of the
issues involved, that with scarcely an
exception they will all want to go to
the polls and take part in the forrna-
ton of the new state by voting on the
adoption of the state constitution and
the choice of state officers. Unless
their names are found on the registra-
ton lists they will have no voice in
this weighty matter but will stand
dumb as though they were mutes and
politically powerless as though they
We're aliens. Ladies and gentlemen, do
not fail to register Only a few DAYS
are left in which this can be done. Be
sure that your names are placed upon
the lists.

a POWERFULLY WEAK. PLAT
FORM.

The Utah Republican platform has
the merit Of brevity, but it is as weak
as it is short The most forcfble thing
it contains is its declaration in favor
Of silver, but even that is puerile in
view of the known hostility of the
National Republican party TO free sill
yer coinage, exhibited from the time it
demonetized the white metal to the
present day. The demand of the hand
full Of Utah Republicans in the face
of the opposing force of the vast ma
jority OF their national party, is 6imply
buster of the most grotesque kind.
Equally laughable is the snort
against the issue of bonds to meet a
deficit which was caused by unwise
Republican legislation and administra-
ton, and which met the approval of
Republican leaders in and out of Con-
gress. and has been largely applaud
ed By the Republican press.
The doctrine of support TO home in
dustries, held by the founders of our
government. was no more like the Re
publican theory of high tariff protec-
ton than Democracy is like imperial
ism. The small duties imposed on i'm
ports in those early days, even If as
alleged to foster infant industries,
have grown under Republican folly
and extravaganza into immense and
oppressive levies for the benefit of the
full grown concerns and the plutocrats
made muIti-mfllionaires by Republican
political iuiquity
Why did not the Republican admin
istration, in all the years it held
power, open the Uintah and Uncom-
pahgre reservations to settlement?
It comes with a very bad grace to find
fault with tie Democratic admins
tration which is doing all that can be
reasonably accomplished in that direc-
ton. after the long neglect of its
predecessors.
Several paragraphs in the platform
are simply an adoption Of Democratic
principles which the National Repub-
ucan party will in practice repudiate.

-
It would --,uzzle the trainers of the
piautor-a to show wherein the Monroe
uocerine has been violated or not
maintained under the present admins
tration.
The denunciations Of the Demo-
cratic party are mere vapor, and van
ish before a breath of truth. The
Democratic party of Utah is free from
any corrupt methods in elections. and
there is not shadow Of proof to the
contrary.
We have very briefly reviewed the
thin and flimsy platform of the Repub-
lcan party of Utah. 1t is not deserv-
ing of more than passing reference.
Democratic orators will be able to
knock it into splinters when they en-
ter upon the state campaign, and it
may be regarded as the weakest and
thinnest declaration of principles ever
set forth in Utah.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-08-29

Cleveland is not entertained by the
Democrats of the East any more than
by the Democrats of the West. CIeve-
land does not count as figure in
either the local or the national cam
paign. He is out of the race and will
at the close of his term be out of
politics SO far as public Office is con-
cerned.
But supposing President Cleveland
and his course in the presidential chair
were a legitimate factor in the issue
of the times, it should be understood
that his financial policy, including the
much talked of bonds transaction. has
received the endorsement of the fore
most Republicans of the United States.
They approve now and did approve at
the time of the movement to preserve
the gold reserve and meet the
.exigences of the period. If any of
them find fault with it today they do
so purely for partisan ends They did
not oppose it at the critical time.
1t should be remembered that the
declaration that the policy of the
United States is to preserve the
parity of the two metals" which
President Cleveland and his admins
tration are bound to support, origi-
mated with the Republican party, and
the government today is simply carry
ing out that policy as it is bound to
do in the execution of the laws.
The Republican party, as we have
repeatedly shown, is in reality gold
party. Silver finds no favor with it as
primary money on equality with gold
That party demonetized it in 1878
That party has refused to remonetize
it during all the years that have since
interviewed. That party has vehe-
mently fought every Democratic
measure for The restoration of the
white metal to its former money
status. That party has formulated the
bond policy which Is still followed in
this country, and is responsible for all
the financial troubles which have
grown out of its pernicious financial
legislation.
AS we have said, Cleveland cuts no
substantial figure in the present and
coming struggle. But whatever may
be said concerning his financial course,
the truth is that the policy he has
fore he took possession of the presi-
Dental chair and whatever of evil
there is in it it is the outgrowth of
Republican political and financial
hereSy,

CLEVELAND NOT IN 1T.


We observe that a great deal of
pains is taken by Republicans to hold
up President Cleveland to reprobation
and ridicule before the American
public. This is particularly so in Utah
at the opening of the political cam
paign. 1t is, no doubt, for the lack of
rational issue. With the financial
policy of the President neither The
Herald nor the greater portion of the
Democracy of Utah are in accord. We
are for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the present ratio without
waiting for the action of any foreign
nation. Cleveland is a bimetallist of
the Harrison order. He believes in
the use of both gold and silver as
money of the nation, but wants an
international agreement as to the
ratio between the two metals before
resuming the free coinage of silver.
But what has that to do with the
campaign now open in Utah? What
Cleveland believes is now Of much less
moment than what Harrison, or Nc
Kinley, or Reed, or Allison or Sher-
man believes. Those eminent Re-
publicans are likely to be candidates
for the SURFACES of the American
people. They have designs. on the
presidency. Cleveland, on the con-
trary, is not candidate for re-elec-
ton. The mention of his name in such
connection is not made seriously ex-
eept perhaps by few of his greatest
admirers, and there are at least as
many of these in the Republican party
as can be found in the Democratic
party.
