" 30 out IN the weather. as IL is, nave
been alarmed by receipt of cards an
nuuncing their names were spelled
wrong Examination of the books
shows this is untrue.
Ii the opposition hopes to gain any
thing by this plan of campaign, it will
find itself disappointed. The plan is
a boomerang and it is already begin
ming to rebound.
But Democrats should pay no atten-
ton to the cards whatever. Give the
opposition no information al ALL When
a republican missionary tells you any
thing; don't do it.
Some very pertinent questions printed
on card. are being mailed to taxpay-
ers of the county. They are entitled
Nuts for the taxpayers to crack"
The reading matter is:
The alarming increase in taxes
during the past few years, and the
startling figure the rate has now
reached in Salt Lake county, brings
these questions home to every owner
of property.
First. Do we know when we've had
enough?
Second. Shall we let a foolish and
sentimental fealty to party prevent us
voting for the best men?
Third. Don't you think Armstrong,
Hall and Rawlins are the best men"
TO pull this county out of the hole
Geddes, Christopherscn & Co. have
got it into?
is only little less than half mil
lion Enthusiastically. Is there any
limit?
Fifth. The people of Salt Lake
county have twice. voted No on the
proposition to issue county bonds. Yet
the Republican county officials en-
gineered a bill through the legislature
giving them the power to issue these
bonds without the peoples consent.
Who are the masters and who are the
servants, anyway?
Sixth. Was not this action a slap
in the peoples face?
Seventh Won't the people slap back
at the polls? Ought they not do so?
Eighth and last. If you can trust
a party with the presidency of the
United States, can't you trust it with
the legislature of Utah and the county
of Salt Lake? And don't you think
the Democratic party, which inper-
illed ms very life in the nation by
declaring for silver, deserves your
votes and your support in this mo-
mentous silver crisis?

June 20, 1Ss6.-Extract from editor
ial published by the Salt Lake Tri-

Utah: Senator Brown has always
held silver as of secondary Importance,
and the legislature of Utah understood
that when they elected him.
They knew just as well before they

as they do now that he had never
been a silver man in Utah."

On the reverse side appears the fol-
Republican members of the Utah legis-
lature, pledged to silver, elected a
goldbug to the United States senate
in January, 1896, knowing at the time
he was a goldbug, what assurances
have the silver men and women of
Utah, that a Republican legislature
pledged to silver, would not elect a
goldbug in January, 1897? Experience
