The letter contains many other con-
tradictions. The attack on The Herald
is but small squirt of petty spite
The writer of it knows to the contrary
of what he alleges. for that has ap-
peared in former letters to the Times
We do not mean by this that the hand
that penned the effusion to which we
refer is the same that wrote the first
of the series. If it is, 1t has lost, dts
cunning. With whatever errors the
first may have contained. it was at
least concise, forceful and arranged
with care. The present letter is strain
ed and springhalt, a tumble of figures
to bolster up a theory to which they
give no support. 1t contains manifest
untruths, some of them wilfully de-
ceptive, and is an utter failure in that
it presents a theory, wades through
three columns to substantiate it, and
gives not a solitary scrap of direct evil
dence that could by any stretch of
courtesy be called proof.
Why any Democrats in their senses
should take a course to malign and
defend the people who form the bulk
of the Democratic party of Utah, is
something that an ordinary mind with
common Judgment will fail to compre-
bend It looks more like an effort to
burst up the party than anything else,
and as the work of Republicans US
ing a few disgruntled Democrats as
willing tools. We protest against it
as the recognized organ of the party,
representing "aH the orthodox prin--
ciples of Democracy" 1t is a huge
blunder. 1t will fail Of its alleged pur-
pose. 1t will do the Democratic party
more harm than good. Let the respon-
sibility of all the communications to
the New York Times rest where it be-
longs; the Democratic party never au-
thorized them and The Herald is not
in sympathy with their purpose or in
tent.

The attempt to show that ecclesias-
teal influence has turned Democrats
into Republicans is thus not only fall
lacious, as the figures prove beyond
question. but it is an insult to the
Mormon voters of this territory. For,
if the influence of one church official,
as claimed, is such that he can change
the politics Of church members, then
those people have no minds of their
own, but are subject to the
diotum of an ecclesiast. They are not
fit for the responsibilities of self-gov-
eminent. And is not the purpose of
this attack on the majority of Utah's
people to make that falsehood appear
as a fact?
If George Q. Cannon is proved to be
a great priestly dictator to whom the
Mormon people bow in slavish submits
sion, then those people are but serfs
and not freemen. Do the instigators
of these attacks want to defeat state
hood? Do they want to reopen the
old warfare of classes in this commu-
nifty? Do they want to stir UP eastern
sentiment against the AOTIlOu 0HurCn.
Do they want to destroy the financial
credit of the Utah Company? If so,
we can state positively that none Of
these are the purposes or desires of the
Democratic party of Utah, nor is the
Salt Lake Herald published to pro-
mote such ends.
AS to The Herald being influenced in
any way by George Q. Cannon or the
Mormon Church, the charge is so for
eign to the well known facts that we
are surprised it should be published
even as far away as New York City.
The letter states that ''Mr. Cannon is
father of the idea that the Mormon
people should be nearly evenly divided
politically" Yet The Herald has re-
peatedly combated that idea, and
maintained that sincerity in pol
itics is a moral necessity, and
that people should support the
respective parties purely on prin-
ciple and from honest convic-
ton, adhering to that party with
full fidelity which to them appeared to
embody the best ideas of government.

Rich Red Blood

In the body of an adult person there are
about Is pounds of blood.
The blood has as its most important eie-
ments, small round corpuscles, red and
white, in proportion of about 200 red to /
white one.
II the number of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased
the blood is impure, thin, lacking in the
nutrition necessary to sustain the health
and nerve strength of the body.
Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness,
5crofula, Salt Rheum, or others of the long
train of ills, according to the temperament
and disposition, attack the victim.
The only permanent remedy is found in
reliable blood medicine like Hoods

puscles, enriching them and increasing
their number. 1t thus restores the vital
fluid to healthy condition, expels all i'm
purity, cures Nervousness, That Tired Feel
ing, Scrofula and all other diseases arising
from or promoted by low state Of the blood.

not by our Cwn statements, but by what

Now as to matters of fact. 1t is
stated that: ''The Herald persistentIy
denies this common truth-that Mr.
Cannon has used his influence in be-
half of Republicans" The Herald dis
putes this emphatically. 1t is a direct
falsehood. Nothing can be found in the
utterances of The Herald which affords
an excuse for such a statement

information sufficiently definite to af
firm or deny the truth of what the

of knowledge" which, on being tested.

Another very pertinent fact fin the
argument is also ignored. Frank j.
Cannon was the candidate for Dele
gate in 1892 as we'll as in 1894. If
church influence is so potent over the
minds Of Mormon voters why was not
the Republican candidate elected in
1892? Was not the charge Of church
influence preferred even more strongly
then than in 1894? Strange, If the
church, worked so very strongly to
turn over the territory to Republican
ism that it failed in 1892. The church.
or Mr.. Cannon, could not be as
potent a power in politics as the
theory of the letter writer requires
That the popular sentiment in Utah
was at one time very largely Demo-
cratic is true. But that was because
the principles Of the Peoples Party
were strongly in favor of local self
government, while the national Re
publican party was responsible for re-
peated acts of legislation, clipping and
decreasing local authority and increas-
ing that of the Federal government
over Utah affairs. The Liberal party
was d luStOu VI IlSpuOlCduS anu Oen-
ocrats, the former largely preponder-
ating. But the majority of the Peoples
party had not closely studied national
politics. and when the division came
and the national parties were organ
lied in Utah for the first time. there
was a thorough investigation of their
principles.
The Republican party at first had
little encouragement. The body of the
Liberal party refused to divide. Few
Republicans from its ranks joined with
those who had been in the Peoples
party A much larger number of Lib
eral Democrats met the Peoples
party Democrats more than half way.
But the Republicans organized for a
vigorous work of proselytism and were
aided by the national party. They
rapidly made converts to the protection
and bounty theories and the strong
government" idea It is not fair to
state that these came from the Demo-
cratic party. Indeed, it is not true.
They came from those who had not
adhered to either party. The cam
paign OF '92. under Frank j. Cannon,
was well fought on both sides and the
entire territory was canvassed vigor-
ously. The Democrats won by a plur-
atty Of a,S06. But there were $3.50
votes cast for the Liberal candidate.
1t is easy to calculate that if these
had voted in 1892 with the Republican

The writer starts out with a
theory; he bends everything he touches
to make it conform to that theory. The
dominant idea is that George Q. Can
non, as the leading spirit of the Nor
mon Church. has so swayed the MEM
bers of that church that he has turned
the control of the territory and
of the incipient state into
the hands of the Republicans.
Nothing definite, positive or direct is
adduced in its support. 1t is all infer
ence, surmise and deduction, supported
by juggle of figures which do not
lie." but can be arranged and tangled
up with conjecture so as to lie in wait
to deceive.
We do not intend to take up those
figures in detail or dispute their accu-
racy as to the facts they are supposed
to represent. But there are some ele-
ments in the problem of political
changes in Utah which are entirely
lacking in the calculations of the
Times writer. One is the number Of
people in Utah who have not, until
recently, taken any decided position as
to party, and some of whom still stand
as independent" They are, like their
fellows in every state of the Union,
moved upon by the wind and tide Of
the times, and influenced by current
events. They may vote with the DEM
ocrats at one election and with the Re-
publcans at the next, and may then
unite with the Populists or some other
third party" They are an uncertain
quantity, but must be considered in
political arithmetic or the sum will not
be correctly worked. They have been
left out of the faulty examples" fur
nished to the Times.
The increase of the voting population
by young men coming of age, and
older men exercising the franchise is
noted in the letter, but with remark
able faulty no part of. that increase is
credited to the Republican party. The
writer takes the ground that all that
increase accrued to the Democratic
party, in order to account for the in
creased number of Democratic voters
from 1892 to 1894 in spite of the alleged
Church influence against it. He says:
can analysis of the figures shows a lit
eral verification of the charge of
strong religious interference in poll
tics" An analysis of the figures
shows some changes which are
perfectly natural. and which occur
in every part of the country, but those
figures do not and cannot -show

writer and every Republican gain is
attributed to but one cause and that
imaginary-the influence of the church
