The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-02-12

hOfOs Oh - "a $1,000
etood before the community in which
he lived in an unenYiable light, that
man is the manager # the Provo En-
quirer. If it is possible to cover him
with more humiliating defeat than
which he received at the last election
and now in the contests brought by
him, the people Of Utah county will
see to it that that wonderful feat is
accomplished. 1t is highly probable,
however that John C.'s political career
IS ended forever, at least in %his meek
Of the woods"
II the real sentiments of the people
were to be published they would snow
that he undoubtedly is the most des-
pissed man in Utah county today
It is we'll known here that his
ignominous defeat at the election last
November was due entirely to the fact
that many prominent Republicans VINO
understood his methods, could not and
would not support him, even though
he succeeded in getting himself honll-
mated. It is not likely that the Re-
nublican party in this county Will
again hazard its chances of success oy
nominating a man who was the most
unnOpuiar candidate on his ticket last
fall. and who. by his actions, since ms
defeat has been sinking lower ana
lower in the estimation of the people.
We need not go far TO find the cause
of this ever increasing unpoularlty oL
the man In the first place, IN polltlcs,
he is surely without principle get
there" seems to be his motto
The Herald correspondent took TURN
among the business men and especially
abe Republicans and asked this queS-
ffon: How does the termination OF
Graham's contest cases SUIT!
The answer in almost every case was
to the effect that the persons ap
rroached were glad of the defeat.
II is common talk in Provo today
that he (Graham) is the writer OF the
article denouncing the action OF the
legislature. When the evidence was
6eine taken. Graham, it is said, pei
nancy that some of the Democrats
1vould be unseated- The loss OF Tue
money and the defeat, too. is PHI tnat
ought TO cure him of his othee-seeNlig
propensities.

The article published in The TRIBUNE
