and wherever known, bears an
irreproachable character and a
reputation for ability that makes
him peculiarly fitted for the office
for which he has been named.
They are all essentially men OF
principle, had they not been they
would not now be waging a cam
paign of such uncertain issue for
principles sake. The TRIBUNE
does not feel to say more. The
Republican ticket from top to
bottom is sound; it is representa-
tive of the best citizenship in the
state; it deserves loyal support,
and will, we believe, receive it.

GENERALLY WRONG.

After endorsing Bryan's silver
views, the Salt Lake Tribune
proceeds as follows:
There is nothing in Mr.. Bryan's rec
ord, nothing in the record of his party
that is attractive to Republicans, On
the tariff question he represents the
dead Confederacy and that spirit which
two years prior to the war shut off all
subsidies from our brave steamships
that were making. under the new
conditions, successful fight to keep
our flag sovereign on the sea. He rep
resents that policy which has fought
every measure to make of ours a great
manufacturing, self-supporting nation.
He has that order of intellect that can.
not distinguish between the justice and
expediency of exchanging, duty free
articles which come in direct competi-
ton with the products of our own
farmers and artisans.
The Salt Lake paper believes
that Mr.. Bryan and his party are
radically wrong on every point
except one alone; but because he
is right on one single thing Re-
publicans are urged to support
him. The Lord made pretty
liberal concessions in the case of
Sodom and Gomorrah, but when
no more than two righteous per-
sons could be found, he turned
on the fire. Should Democracy,
then, possessing only one right
eous principle, be saved? We
think not. 1t will be better to
follow the ancient example; the
bad entirely outweighs the good.

4 WORD OF WARNING.

Yet few days and the voters
Of the United States win be called
on to exercise that prerogative by
which the sovereignty of the
people is established and main
tanned. By their ballots, they
will dictate the character and
policy of their National govern
ment for the ensuing four years,
and of their state governments for
two years. Their peace and
prosperity will be affected by the
votes they cast, and indeed the
PerPetuity of government itself
may depend on the issue of the
ballot box. THE TRIBUNE would
impress on every voter in this
state sense of the grave respen-
sibility which devolves on him.
A mistake made on the third of
November, 1896, will be a seri-
Gus thing. It win work untold

HAS SWITCHED.

Mr.. Bryan is quite sure that
all the distress of the past three
and a half years is chargeable to
scarcity of money and that this
scarcity began with the year 1873
and has been regularly increasing
ever since. He appears to have
known for years that this was the
real trouble with the country
Why, then, did he not preach
free coinage instead of free trade
in 1892? In that year he went
over the country talking free
trade just as hard as he is now
talking free silver. He used ex-
actly the same style of argument
for free trade that he now uses
for free silver and always has
used for everything he has advo-
Gated. In 1892, he told the peo-
pie about class oppression, about
the coercion of labor, about the
inhumanity of the rich and the
deviltry of the capitalists. He
told the people that free trade
would annihilate all these enemies
of mankind and make the poor
and worthy ali happy and pros
porous. He told the farmers
that free trade would increase the
price of their products; that
wheat would go to a dollar or a
dollar and a quarter bushel,
and that everything would flour
ish if we only could reduce the
duty on foreign goods. Why
didn t he talk free silver instead
of that kind of rotF What has
caused him to change his views
with respect to the relative i'm
portance of tariff and free silver? |
Why didn't the prosperity he
promised in 1899 come? Here
is the answer; Mr.. Bryan was
all wrong in 1894, but instead of
acknowledging it like man, he
tries to beat about the bush by
saying, the tariff may rest now
until we get the silver question
settled; for, after all, silver is the
paramount thing. AS Mr.. Bry-
an was radically wrong on the
question of tariff, he may also be
on silver, and it is a fair
probability that his promises this
year win come no nearer fulfill
nent than those of four years

THE STATE TICKET.

THE TRIBUNE has not had
much to say respecting the mer-
its or dement's of the candidates
on the Republican state ticket.
1t did not seem necessary. The
nominees are nearly all well
known throughout the state.
They are all men of high reputa-
ton and superior ability. Five
OF the candidates have already
rendered valuable and honorable
public service, and their records
speak more for them than any eu-
logy that could be written. Such
men as Isaac w. Garrett, pres
ent Secretary of State; Frank
Ramsey, State Auditor; Vincent
Borrower, Lieutenant Governor:
Drew w Standrod, Judge Fifth
District, and Charles A. Forse-
man, Superintendent Public In
structiOn, need no recommended
ton. Their works are the best
certificates of character. We have
already given our estimation of
Col. Budlong and John T. Nor
rison and furthe,- commentator
would be superfuous. There
are, however, three names upon
the ticket which may not be ia
miliar in this part of the state.
These are John Bagley, candi-
date for Attorney General; E.
A. McKenna, for State Auditor.
and Theodore Brown, for State
Mine Inspector. Each of these
gentlemen, in his own home

misery and hardship. The issues
in this campaign are of such
character that their importance
cannot be exaggerated-they are
vital to the national welfare. On
the one hand are the forces and
principles of Democracy and Pop
ulism, proposing fundamental
changes in our monetary system
and advocating drastic govern
mental measures. A change in
our monetary system may prove
advantageous; but, as admitted
by its ablest disciples, the propo-
sition is speculative and expert
mental We are told that some
kind of a change is necessary and
that free coinage of silver may ac-
cidentally prove to be the antidote
for all our material woes. This
is Of piece with the advice of a
physician who, upon being asked
how to distinguish between toad
stools and mushrooms, said:
Seat them. If you die, they
are toadstools; if you live, you
may be quite sure they are mush-
rooms. - So with a change Of
our monetary system, if it bring
prosperity, we survive; but if it
bring disaster, we perish. For
four years we have been enjoying
the fruits of experimentation. In
1892, the American people de-
termined to ascertain whether
Democracy was toadstool or a
mushroom. They found out it
was net mushroom, as testified
by the business and industrial
paralysis which Immediately fol-
lowed the experiment and contin-
ues to this day. Still suffering
from the effects of that expert
ment, the people are invited to
continue it four years longer and
advised that the last experiment
will probably counterfeit the dead
ly effects of the first. This is a
sort of simslta stmizf5ns cHrantmr
doctrine-homeopathy applied to
civil government. 1t is for the
people to determine whether or
not it is advisable to try the like
cures-lke remedy. It'll a trite
that when you lose any
the best place to look for
it is where it was lost. Pros
perity was lost to the American
people when the Republican party
was thrown out of power and its
policy rejected. Is it not highly
probable that prosperity can be
recovered by reinstating that par
fy and resuming its policy? This
question each voter must answer
for himself on the third of No
vember. He should guard care
fully against making any mistake,
and if his voice be for another
four years of Democratic expert
mentation, let him not complain
the result.

HIS viNpIoATIoN.

Mr.. R. P. Quarles, candidate
for justice of the supreme court
on the People s-Democratic
ticket, has published an open
letter in standardization. Before
reading Mr.. Quarles' defense of
himself, THE TRIBUNE was dis
posed to entirely acquit him of
the charge of unprofessional con-
duct, made by the Duboisites.
But Mr.. Quarles has unfortun-
ately made but lame defense.
He admits to having advised a
client that the order of the court
was s'absolutely void.'' He
then shields himself behind the
statement that in his further move
ments, the client acted upon his
own responsibility. That is sub
terfuge. Mr.. Quarles was en-
Ployed as a legal adviser. He
advised his client that the court
had issued an unlawful order, and
on the strength of that advice his
client disobeyed the order and got
himself into serious trouble. Mr..
Quarles, if he were a sound law
yer, would have known better
than to counsel his client, even by
implication, to disobey a mandate
of the court. An order issued
out of any court is the supreme
law until invalidated by higher
tribunal, and Mr.. Quarles was
not that higher tribunal. He
should have advised his client in
this wise: 81 am of the opinion
that this order is without due
authority of law and that it will
be set aside by the supreme
court, but you must obey it.
You will, therefore, deliver the
child to the sheriff as directed and
your remedy must be sought
through the proper channels;
that is, by appeal to the supreme
court. - When Mr.. Quarles
advised his client that the order of
the court was "absolutely void,"
but failed to advise him that void
or not it must be obeyed, he did
something no good lawyer would
do. He certainly left his client
to infer that it would be perfectly
legal to ignore the order, and
Mr.. Quarle's excuse that he
acted on his own responsibility is
no excuse at all. Mr.. Quarles
is no doubt a good man and a
gentleman, but he is not a sound
lawyer.

MIND CHANGES.

Judge Hepburn has been, in
the past, a strong advocate of the
free and unlimited coinage of sill :
yer. He has changed his mind !.
That in the estimation of Mr..
Borah is almost criminal. Very
good. Governor Mcconnell has
also changed his mind on
the silver question and with Judge
Hepburn, concluded to accept
the doctrine of the Republican
party and trust to its wisdom.
In the estimation Of Mr.. Borah,
Governor Mcconnell has COM
mitted an objectionable offense.
That is all right. Those men
may be moral towards, pie eat
ers and common traitors. We
are not contradicting it. Any
man who changes his mind on
any subject is probably a scoun-
drel. We don't deny it here,
but the rule ought to work both
ways. AT the Ketchum Silver
Convention, August 70, 1893,
Mr.. Borah made an eloquent
speech. In forcible language,
he declared he would never leave
the Republican party for silver S
sake. He has changed his
mind. Shall a change in him be
accounted altogethar to righteous
nessa Be it so! But he said
something like this about the
"crime of 49, 81 do not

was passed surreptitiously. l
denounce the charge that John
Sherman was conspirator If
we admit that congress, did not
know what it was doing when it
enacted that law, we must admit
that that congress was composed
of an aggregation of idiots. -
These were substantially the SEN
timents expressed by Mr.. Borah
and several hundred people heard
him. We refer to Mr.. Ruick,
Capt. Gum, George Parkinson,
George II. Lewis, Ketchum,
and could refer to dozens more.
Mr.. Borah has changed his mind
and now makes the ''crime of
49, his principal stock in trade.
He has changed his mind; but
he is an "honorable man. -
Come, now, Mr.. Borah, drop
demagoguery. Be frank and
honest with the people. Tell
them that men change their
minds as they do their linen, and
always change for what they con-
slider purer and cleaner principles.
Tell them you have changed
your mind numerously in the
course of years and that you ex-
pect other changes. Tell them
that men who never change their
