In reviewing the lottery question Judge Thomas
says II may be confidently asserted that the death

been sounded. and their business has been vastly
crippled K not ruined, but he IS sorry to note the
TACT that many business men think they must, in

A yENOMoUs ATTACK.

The nomination OF Joseph L. Rawlins
and Moses Thatcher as the choice of
the Democratic party for United States
Senators from Utah has very much
disturbed our Republican contempora-
ries. Some of them discuss the matter
with an evident lack of understanding
of what that endorsement means. Of
course that is not surprising in the
small fry of the party which arrogates
to itself all the culture and progress
in the country. Impudence and ig-
norance are twins. One of those pa
pers attacks the nomination on other
grounds and what it says is amusing
yet contemplate.
The Salt Lake Tribune objects to
Hon Moses Thatcher on account of
the position he holds in a religious
body. We do not intend, at present,
to discuss the question whether a man
prominent in church affairs is disqual-
flied on that account from holding Of
fee in the state. We wish to refer to
the arguments" used by the Tribune
in reference to this particular candi-
date.
First, however, we will explain to
our befogged Republican contempora-
ries that the nomination of United
States Senators by the Democratic
convention is as legitimate as the nom
ination of a Representative in Con-
gress, although it does not carry the
same significance. 1t is not in the for
aner case anything more than a pub
lie expression of preference, to guide
the legislature of the state at its first
session if a majority of its members
should he Democrats, and to settle in
the mind of the party whom it may
expect to be its candidates for United
states Senators in that event. It is

TRIBUNE AND HON. NJ. THATCHER

In 1892 Apostle Anton H. Lund was a
Republican candidate for the legisla-
ture in Sanpete. In 1894 Apostles M.
w. Merrill, of Cache, and John Henry
Smith, of this city, stood for the con-
stitutional convention as the nominees
of the Republican party. Mr.. John
Henry Smith was elected and became
the unanimous choice of his confreres
for the presidency of the convention
and was elected.
In neither of these instances did our
very esteemed Tribune suggest that
these gentlemen could not accept the
Office without the consent of the First
Presidency; in neither did it suggest
that for these gentlemen to hold both
offices would be commanding act
and a faint upon the clerical office"
in neither did it suggest that there was
a "mingling of church and state;" in
neither did it hint that the underlying
thought was that the ticket would
have added strength from the fact of
his position in the church," in neither
did it cIamor that the nominee should
resign his clerical Office if he We're in
good faith a candidate; in neither did
it state that the candidate was named
because of his position which lis not
playing fair with the peoples" in
neither instance did it allege that there
was an unwritten compact settling
our past contentious of which the can
didacy of an apostle was an infringe
ment unless the apostleship were re-
signed.
No. The esteemed Tribune reserved
all these suggestions for the case of
Democratic apostle-Hon. Moses
Thatcher, one of Utah's next senators.
Moreover, Judge c. c.. Goodwin was an
active factor in making Republican
apostle Smith president of the conven-
ton.
Truly it makes much difference
"whose OK is gored.''
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-09-08

a step in the direction of the election of
those officers by popular vote.
The Tribune says of Mr. Thatcher,
He is a most estimable gentleman .
and further:
''The writer claims him as a per-
rsonal friend. He is a most capable
gentleman. In all his ways and his
| words he gives the idea that had he
! been born a horse instead of a man,
ne would have been a thoroughbred, .
Now after that personal endorsement
and other intimations as to MI. Thatch-
er's intellectual and practical super
lorlty, tacitly admitting that he is
"a profound scholar" and equipped
with a superior knowledge of the fnsti-
J tutions of our country the Tribune
goes on to make him monumental
fraud whose acceptance of the nomin-
alton was a piece of deliberate trick
cry and deception: 1t says:
We believe the nomination was alto
gether a deception
I'VE do believe he would be voted
1or, but when the critical time came
ne would appear and on some excuse
either his health, or the pressure of
| MS private business. or some other
reason, would decline the honor
we claim further, that while he
permitted the work to go on Thursday,
ne was not in good faith a candidate"
After all these expressions of belief
that Moses Thatcher was party to
a deliberate and disgracefuI plot to
deceive the public and his own party,
the shameless, inconsistent scribe who
claims the most estfmajble gentleman"
as his personal friend" adds:
'In this we are saying nothing to
the detriment of Moses Thatcher"
Is it nothing to the detriment of a.
gentleman who is recognized as honor
able, gifted, able, devout, true and de-
voted to his party as to his religion,
to say that he was accessory to con-
temptible piece of trickery and decep-
ton, to mislead not only the general
public, but the very party whose dele
gates hailed him with the most in
tense and vigorous demonstrations of
delighted enthusiasm of any prominent
Democrat who appeared before them
in convention assembled?
Perhaps it is nothing to his detri-
ent" after all. No decent person in his
senses will be influenced by such a
slanderous and contradictory attack
upon Moses Thatcher as that to which
we have paid this attention, more
doubtless than it deserves. But the
intent is the same though the purpose
will fail.
Only mind drenched in deception,
tinctured with trickery and filled with
fraud would conceive so villainous a,
scheme as that concocte6 by The Tri-
bune and attributed to Moses
Thatcher and the Democratic party
1t is evidence of the extremity to
which the Republicans are driven by
the invincible ticket which bears
the names of Joseph L. Rawlins and
Moses Thatcher as the choice of their
party for United States Senators.

GRANTED WANTED NO PoNrooxs

A story of General Grant that, it is
supposed, has never appeared in print,
was in circulation at the State House
yesterday. 1t was related by man who
was formerly prominent in newspaper
work in this city During Grants second
term as president this man was sent to
washington on some official business for
him to see the president personally. The
general mentioned correspondent of
the New York Tribune, who was then in
Washington, in a way to lead the Visi-
tor to think that good story could be
obtained from the correspondent. The
Indiana man met the correspondent that
evening, and this is the story he learned:

NO LAUGHING MATTER.

The Democratic platform calls at
tention to the fact that the country
was in the throes of a financial panic
when the Democratic administration
assumed control in 1885, so the public
is informed by a Republican paper,
which says this is "a laughable plank"
Well if our contemporary can find any
fun in that, it would be amused at the
most dreadful disaster that could come
to a nation.
The panic of 1898 with its attendant
evils and horrors is too serious a ca
lamity to provoke a smile, except in
the face of a being callous to human
suffering and who would dance at a
funeral and crack jokes over a new
made grave.
But we suppose the fun is in the al
legged cause of the fact which the Tri-
bune does not attempt to dispute. No
one can truthfully deny that when the
Democratic administration assumed
control of national affairs, "the coun-
try was in the throes of a financial
panic. IudL paine, with 1lS WISCh6u
banks, ruined enterprises, closed work
shops, millions of tramps and destitute
homes was result. Those troubles
were a harvest. There was Il cause
for that result and it must, in the ma
ture of things have preceded the eff
feet. The sowing must have been be-
fore the reaping.
If legislation had anything TO do
with the panic of 1898 it was Republi-
can legislation, for there had been no
other. Those evil fruits were from an
evil tree. There was none but that of
Republican planting. The panic Of 1873,
which lasted six years, was not fol-
lowed by a Democratic administration
nor preceded by it, but g2epublicanism
ruled before, through and after It ALL
The same paper that thinks it laugh
able for, the Democratic platform to
mention the fact of the panic of 1893,
has several times admitted in effect
that it was Republican legislation
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-09-08

| the demonetizing of silver-that
brought on the evils commencing in
1878, which eliminated in October, 1893.
Is there anything laughable in that2
No, it is too gloomily and sorrowfully
true.
| 1t is proper for the Democratic party
to draw the attention of the public
other reason than because it has been
SO shamefully misrepresented by Re-
| publicans for partisan purposes. The
causes of that dreadful panic dated
| away back of the effects. They were
| Republican legislation and administra-
| they were working along through
twenty years of falling prices and loss
Of profitable agricultural and other in
dustries
The rule of the plutocrats was the
ruin of the common people. Republi-
canism fostered the former and de-
ceived the latter. 1t played into the
hands of the gold kings and money
gamblers, protected the capitalists,
bount1ed the wealthy and ground the
masses into perjury.
The Democratic administration took
the control when these evil effects
from Republican causes burst upon the
country, and the odium of them all
was cast upon it, from which the
American people are now beginning to
turn with disgust at their easy decep-
ton by the party responsible for those
calamities. Under Democratic influ-
ences and legislation prosperity is re-
turning, industries are fourishing,
wages have been increased, confidence
is coming back, and the recupera5ion
is astonishing in its rapidity and evil
dent permanence. There is no joke in
it all So our Republican friends will
find out in November. The Democratic
platform announces a patent fact and
no amount of attempted jesting or
forced laughter will obscure it's truth
from the enlightened and undeceived
citizens of the coming state of Utah.
