pledged to it; and the Democratic
party was against it and its national
platform had so declared while its
presidential candidate was opposing
it and telling how shameful it was in
ever speech he made, it would be the
most absurd and ridiculous thing in
the world to ask the people Of Utah
to support the Democratic congress-
ioDai and legislativ nominees not
withstanding the local Democratic
party was for silver
The positions of the two parties are
the very reverse of the above SUPPOSE
ton, but the conclusion reached IN the
one case exactly fits the other.
Vote the Democratic congressional
and legislative nominees. not only be-
cause they are for the free and in
dependent coinage of silver, but also
because the national Democratic party
is pledged TO the free and independent
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is 10 l.

Gratitude In Tigers

Apropos of how Wallace, one of the
i1ercest lions at the New York zoo had a
decayed tooth extracted, the Pail Mall
Gazette recalls a more difficult opera
ton which was successfully performed
IN the geological gardens, Dublin, a few
years ago. One of the finest tigers in
the collection was threatened with gan
creme in its paw-the claw having be-
come distorted and grown into the foot.
The Rev. Samuel Haughton, NJ. D.. SEN
Tor fellow Of Trinity college, Dublin, and
a well known parsonage in the Irish
metropolis, undertook to perform the
dangerous experiment of operating on
The mate of the tiger was first secured
in a side den A net was thrown over
the tiger, and ne was drawn forward to
the door Of the cage. -Four stout keepers
then held the feet of the struggling ami
NAL while Professor Haughton cut away
the diseased claw. The suffering beast
furiously endeavored to get at him dur
ing the operation, but the rage of the
rigreSS looking on through the bars of
the side den was much more terrible
She roared and flung herself violently
again and again against the barriers in
her mad desire to go to the rescue of her
mate.
When the tigress was admitted to the
cage after the wound of her mate had
been dressed and the net removed, she
turned up the paw and examined 1t with
touching Solcitude. and then licked her
mate, as a cat ticks its kitten, to soothe
MIN, purrtng softly the while. But per-
hapS the most extraordinary part of the
AFFAIR was the sequel. A week later Pro-
lessor Haughton was again at the zoo
to see how his patient was going on.
When the animal espied him he began
TO purr like cat, allowed him to ex-
anime his paw, and seemed pleased that
he should do so. Indeed. for years af-
themselves most friendly and grateful
to Professor Haughton.

VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

No one will dispute the fact than the
silver question has been the para
mount issue this year.
Those who advocate free silver be-
lieve that in it's restoration lies the
best good of the whole people, the
surest guarantee of the nations pros
perity.
Those who are opposed to free sill
Yer believe that its adoption by this
country would bring disaster to the
people and disgrace to the nation.
That is the situation in a nutshell.
1t is the Democratic party that ad-
vocates the free and independent coin
age of silver, because it believes that
in its restoration lies the best good of
the whole people, the surest guarantee
Of the nations prosperity. In its ma
tional platform it has declared for this
policy.
It is the Republican party that is
opposed to free silver and believes that
its adoption by this country would
bring disaster to the people and dis
grace to the nation. In its national
platform it has declared its opposition
10 the free coinage of silver except by
international agreement.
1t was the Republican party that de-
monetized silver in 1873
The records Of congress show that
whenever legislation favorable to sill
yer has come up in congress more
Democrats than Republicans have
voted for it
The people of Utah are for free sill
yer. They recognize that it can only
be had by electing a Democratic presi-
dent and congress. Therefore it be-
hooves Them to do all in their power
to elect a Democratic president and
congress. They should send William
H. King 30 congress and elect a legis-
lature that wifi send Democrat to
the senate.
If the Republican party throughout
the nation were for free silver and in
its national platform had declared for
it, and its presidential nominee were

MIR. HoLBRooK's STRANGE COURSE,

The Republicans tell the people that
! Mr.. HolbrOok is a good free silver
man, that there is none better. If this
be so, then Mr.. Holbrook does not
shape his political course wisely.
| When, soon after his nomination. a
| Herald man interviewed him on the
issues of the campaign, he did not
know just where he did stand on the
! silver question. He could not say
whether he would abide by the de-
cision of a Republican caucus. al
though it should be controlled by the
gold men, or not; he was unable to
| say whether he would vote for free
silver under all circumstances or not.
All that he could say was he would
give all these matters careful con-
sideration as they came up and then
| follow the dictates of his own con-
science.
The progress of the campaign has
shown that Mr.. Holbrook is the most
peculiar champion of free silver that
ever was. He is touring the state with
Mr.. John NJ. Zane. speaking from the
same platform with him. Why does he
do this? If his views and Mr.. Zane's
are so diverse upon the question of
free silver. why is it that Mr.. Zane
is laundering forth his financial views
from the same platform that Mr.. Hol-
brook speaks from?
Mr.. Zane is one of the bttterest and
most uncompromising opponents of
free silver. not only in Utah, but in the
whole country. Being a Republican
he is consistent in this And vet Mr..
Holbroek sits beside him upon the
same platform, hears him condemn a
free silver policy and declare himself
as unalteraibly opposed to it. but he
utters no word of protest against what
Mr.. Zane says.
If Mr.. Holbrook were that friend of
free silver that his supporters would
have the people believe, he would re-
fuse to speak from the same platform
as Mr.. Zane SO long as the latter in
sisted upon talking against free sill
yer. If not his self-respect ar least
his sense Of political self preservation
should dictate CHS course TO him.
As Mr.. Holbrook sees nothing in
consistent in speaking from the same
platform with a bitter and uncompro-
missing opponent of free silver who
makes anti-silver the theme of his
speeches, there is no reason in the
world to believe that Mr.. Holbrook
would see any inconsistency in pro-
Tossing to be silver man and abiding
by party caucus absolutely dominated
by gold standard men. Nor would
he be more inconsistent in the one case
than in the other.

F. x. Schoonmaker of New Jersey,
who was in Salt Lake some weeks ago,
recently made a Republican speech in
San Francisco in the course of which
he said: ''And now I'll tell you why
am here. 1 am here in the interest of
F. X. Schoonmaker. L wouldn't give
one snap of my finger for the Republic
an party as a party or for the Demo-
cratic party as a party. l am looking
out for my own interests and putting
butter upon my own bread" 1t is but
just to say that Mr.. Shoemaker
farther along expressed the idea that all
were mutually interested; but the bold
statement quoted nevertheless reflected
a sentiment that more and more con-
trolls those who manipulate the policy
of the plutocratic party.
