The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-09-28
HE'D BErTER TRY HIS "cLuB..

Our morning contemporary is in
great tribulation. 1t has started in to
make accusations against The Herald
which it cannot prove. Challenged to
come out and state plainly what it
means, it simply gave vent to a lot of
explosives, exposing once more it's ma
tive blackguardism and malicious i'm
potency. And with the pertinacity of
the monomaniac it cannot desist but
keeps up its ridiculous reiterations.
Its readers are treated to another
disquisition on the Hayken letters, the
purpose being to show that The Her.
aid has been induced, how, when, by
what means and for what purpose is
not defined, to do something in aid of
the furniture steal. The reputation of
the Tribune scribe on money matters
is a common scandal. The suspicious
he desires to plant in the minds of the
public stamp his own character. And
we have not yet the slightest fear
that he will succeed in his vile endeav-
ors, particularly where his own doings
are known.
But to the attempted charge. 1t is
founded on passage which he partly
clips from one of the letters alleged to
have been written by Hayken. 1t bears
no date and has no signature. The
passage clipped by the Tribune scan
dal-monger is this:
Agreeable to your advice, I have ar
ranged for a series of articles in The
Herald, and inclosed I send you a clip
ping Of today's paper. There will be
some spicy editorials in the next issue.
The Tribune dodger purposely omit
ted part of the paragraph, namely, the
words Immediately following, which
are:
line, perhaps Tribune.
That Is how the alleged letter reads.
Now let us see how the Tribune editor
put it. Here it is:
We have published what is true,
namely, that a knave who was here
bribing or seeking to bride certain Of
flcials, wrote his principal that he had
fixed The Herald, or words to that eff
feet and that it would soon open its
batteries upon certain obstinate officers
who would not be beguiled by him.
Comparing the date of the letter with
the files of The Herald we find that
the attacks began the next morning.
Does the ''knave" who is said to have
written that letter make any such re-
marks? He does not. The Tribune
editor manufactured them. He says:
Comparing the date of the letter we
find the attacks began the next morn
| ing.
There is no date to the letter as pub
! hshed in the Tribune and there is no
signature. Were these purposely sup
| pressed? The statement that ''the at
tacks commenced next morning is
another fabrication by the same Trib-
une editor, who will make up anything
in support of a falsehood, and deny
anything when he is forced into a cor
ner, and is commonly reported as
ready to promise anything when he
Is in a snap and break his word to his
best friend when it suits his conven-
| fence.
Now as to the value of the Hayken
statement, if Hayken ever wrote what
the Tribune says he did. He is called
'qznave" by that paper. 1t is evil
dent from the letters published that il
! he wrote them he was playing the An
drews company for money, as well as
the county. city and school officials
here for big prices for furniture. II
what he is alleged to have said impli
Gates The Herald in any way, it also
duplicates men like Councillors Lynn
Cheeseman and Watson, gentlemen
whom nobody believes for a. moment
