Strong and fearless its Trumbo edito-

slrous of eXcusing this appearance.
The editorials for the last two days
have been walls. They are pleas for a
cessation Of the attacks on the per-
Sonaliry and ambitions OF Judge Good

press Is taking up the other side of the

ever, about the counter attacks. In
them there is scarce mention Of Trum-

air throughout Utah that if by any

the nomination the Democratic nonli-

1t Is no- to be conceded for moment
that the mass Of the people of Utah,
that great majority that has for so
many years been denounced as aliens
and enemies of the government, have
not carefully noted the conduct of the
men who nave held them in the leash,
as it were. They have neither been
asleep nor noncompoS. There are
more men in Utah, il proportion to
population, who are independent

so reckless has been the action of
the Tribune in trying to create dis-
turbance in Republican ranks that,
knowing it is not fool sheet, we are
tempted to believe it is working
clandestineiy in behalf of the Demo-
Gratis. This suspicion, which it pains
us to express. is strengthened by our
remembrance that the Tribune has
declared that ii is not a Republican
organ. Come TO think of it, an Irish
Republican is uncommonly uncom-
mon. Wouldn't ii be a pretty hOw-do-
you-do-me-boy to see Utah send Nj
Lannon TO Washington as a Demo-
cratic Senator?''

"Republican success in Utah is not
so much a foregone conclusion that
laXity in the work of the committee
can be INDUCED in now 1t is also
quite certain that if the Republican
party in Utah We're placed under the
wing Of the Tribune the chickens
would strike and demand a new hen
or even prefer d Democratic goose.
We make these few observations, not
from any disposition to find fault
with the Tribune as a notheriy fowl
but because it is known throughout
the territory that she straddles and
is not, in her own phrase, a Republi-
can organ. We do not even insist
that she shall not straddle if she
wants to straddle, but the Republican
party of Utah can not at this stage Of
the game afford TO straddle with her"
