! genuine Republican papers, and is
still reaping its reward.
The last issue of the Nephi Times
| Republican, contains some interesting
comments. The following extracts will
show the attitude of the country Re
publican press toward the flute:
From now on the campaign will be
a continuous battle. 1t will be a war
! fare such as has never been witnessed
in the political struggles Of Utah. 1t
! is to be, the Times hopes, a square cut,
clean campaign. There must be no
descent to illegitimate modes, to low
! practices, in other words to Demo-
cratic methods. The Republican party
! has always been strongest when max
ing an open and above board fight on
platform built of Republican princi-
pies. The methods of the ward heller,
OF the Doodle politician, of the mid
night assassin and thief have no place
in the ranks Of the Republican party.
And for this reason the Republican
party of Utah is TO be congratulated
that it has been freed of any and all
connection with the Salt Lake Tri-
bune, a paper that year in and year
out has stood only for the interest of
the Tribune and the advance and ag-
grandizement of its owners.
AT no time since the founding of
the Tribune has that paper been an
honest public news journal. And this
is no better exemplified than in the
recent assinine spectacle it made of
itself in attacking Hon. Charles Crane,
a candidate of the people of Utah for
the nomination of governor at the
hands of the Republican convention
to convene in Salt Lake August 2S
next AT no time has the Tribune
been honest in it's opposition to Mr.
Crane. Can anyone who knows the
course of the Tribune believe for a
moment that any but personal reasons
promotes the vindictive attacks upon
the recent chairman of the Republican
central committee? Can anyone be-
lieve that had Charles Crane agreed
to boodling alliance with the Tribune
but what that paper would have sup
ported him for any Office within the
gift of the people? Anyone who knows
the Tribune will answer that had
Charles Crane agreed to further the
private and pet scheme of the Tribune
and its owners that paper would have
been far more cordial in its support of
him than it is bitter in its opposition.
The Tribune has boastfuIly said that
1t has never knowingly opposed but
one good man. The reason is plain.
1T IS that heretofore the pretense of
honesty on the part of the Tribune
has blinded the good men of Utah and
they believing in it's professions of
honesty have agreed with it and as
sisted it in all ways possible for hon
est men 10 give support to a public
journal
But at last the fatal step was ia
ken. Like the tabled peasant of old
ITS own greediness was its undoing.
Unable to convince honest Charles
Crane that its schemes for the coming
campaign for statehood were honest
schemes, it turned upon him its bat
teries of spite, of vitirol and gall. In
this the paper made it's mistake.
1T is &-ot the party who came here
later in years and by every possible
means at the command of influence
and money tried to undo what those
pioneers mad done and render Utah
victim to political rapine, slaughter
and plumber. In other words, it is the
honest people, the Republican people
of Utah and Charles Crane, as against
the Tribune and those who from fear
or selfish ends are endorsing the course
of that journal. The Times joins in
the cry for a clean campaign. If it be
clean, honest campaign Crane will be
the next governor of Utah and the
Tribune, whose fangS have already
been drawn, Will lay on the field of
battle SCARED and bruised corpse,
its CHASTITY and drawn features show
ing that death that comes only ito
those of whom was cried, We are I'M
clean we are unclean.'
Regarding the interloper," the
Times says:

and calling demand of him that he SO

or of any one else outside of Colonel
Trumbo. To the writer's own knowI-
edge some of the men who are decry-
ing most bitterly this California i'm
portation,' as they style him, are each
and every week guests of Colonel
Trumbo's table. They partake of his
salt and break his bread and then go
forth and in violation of every princi-
pie of American decency and polite
ness they denounce and decry the
man.
Because Colonel Trumbo is rich, if
his wealth be accumulated honestly.
and no one yet has had the temerity
to assail his commercial integrity, is
no discredit to him. 1t is within men,

Political Notes.
Hon. Frank j. Cannon was in the
city yesterday.
Nephi Times Rep): The day in
Utah has passed when the Tribune is
always right and the people and all
the rest of the newspapers are always
wrong. Rotten political bosses gen
orally die hard, but they die just the
same.
Nephi Times: All that this paper
demands now is fair deal The
Times is for a clean campaign and a
fair field for everyone. But again. for
the last time" the Times says enphat
