Stole Morton's Speech.

81 am happy to say that I have had no
amusing campaign experiences, said
Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana, who is a
candidate for tine senate to succeed Voor-
hees. "Such experiences are usually more
amusing to the audience or other people
than they are to the person whom the joke
Is on l remember story that is told of
Oliver p. Morton and General George
Sheridan. The two orators travelled to-
gether during one campaign and made
speeches jointly. First Morton would
speak, and then he would be followed by
Sheridan, who was one of the brightest
and wittiest orators 1 have ever heard.
Sheridan had a remarkable memory and
was very fond of practical joke. Morton
used to write his speeches and trusted
chiefly to his notes. During the campaign
be delivered the same speech good many
times, and Sheridan had become SO familiar
with 1t that he knew it by heart One day
when they went before meeting Sheri-
dan, whose turn 1t was to first address the
audience, got up and recited Morton's
speech word for word, to the dismay Of the
governor. When it was the latter's turn,
he did not know what to say and had to
plead illness 1t was long time before
Morton forgave Sheridan the trick, and he
had to make solemn promise not to re-
peat it before Morton would agree to con.
tinue their joint tour. Chicago Times

HOME INDUSTRY,

One of the largest and most rep

Speeches were made by one or two
lawyers, but the speech of the
evening was made by the secretary
of the Business Mems club, Mr..
Irvine, he knew his subject and
talked to it. Old San Antonio

Is their only hope to stay at home,
otherwise the must emigrate. Mr..
Irvine talked sound sense and his
talk will do good. Keep our
money at home and our people
will be prosperous. We canno OF
keep our money at home if we buy
everything from abroad. Our
farms should supply US with all
our grain and hay Sour beef, pork,
butter. Our to"n people should
supply us with our manufactured

cheese, pickles, corn beef, vege-
tables from abroad our money will

THE JUNTA AFFAIR.

together with the interviews that an.
pear in our local columns TO-DAY with

such junta was appointed by the church

viii DE that Mr.. Critchlow, after all
mad little more than a suspicion behind
him, and that up to date, young Utah
has the best of the situation"
This is an abandonment Of the case
over which our neighbor lost its head
somewhat the day before And just
where there has been any conflict as
between young Utah and old Utah in
this matter, by which there is any
significance in the statement that
Young Utah has the best of the
situation" is difficult to see. Perhaps,
however, it was Just little nervous
flourish intended for trimmings.
But now that this incident is closed,
it is just as well to say that these
kind of sensations are not likely to
do Utah any good. They interfere
with the growth of that confidence
which we hope and believe all classes of
Utah's people will have in each other;
and which must become a character
istic of our community before we can
hope to attain to that development de-
sired by all.
Men of high character who stood on
opposite sides of the old conflict in
Utah, are pledged to the maintenance
of new conditions-of American con-
ditions; and that being the case, it is
not we'll to permit small matters to
affect the determination 30 build up
in Utah great state. There must be
mutual trust and mutual recognition
of responsibility and effort to depart
from the old state Of affairs, and work
for the creation and maintenance of
the new conditions which every one
believes tn he mora dpSir9 HE
Mistrust must give way to conf
dence, and one of the means by which
this may be achieved, is for both par
ties to the old fight to refuse to be-
lieve charges of bad faith of their
former opponents except on proof that
amounts to demonstra ton.
Let us have peace; for unless we
have peace. we cannot have pros

This would seem specific enough on
the part of his excellency but it scarce
ly covers the case, numerous as are
the synonyms. What the public wishes
to know from the governor is not
whether the church to which he be-
longs has sought to dictate, counsel,
advise, cajole, threaten, urge, influence
or interfere in any manner" with any
official act Of his, but whether the
church to which he belongs has sought

But, all the same, it didn't go.

Still Grover held to sin and woe,
And often muttered with a smile,
IF I'm sinner, what's Carisle?''
And then that preacher said, says he:

''While yet the lamp holds out to burn

And all the streets are paved with gold"

THE LOGICAL DEMOCRATIC CAN
DIDATE.

The New York World is doing all IN
it's power to make Mr. Cleveland the
candidate of the Democratic party. 1t
asserts, and repeats its assertion con-
tinually, that he is the logical candi-
date of his party. He is the logical
candidate because the World has,
with omniscience, said chat Mckinley
will be nominated at st. Louis, and
such a nomination would be a direct
challenge to the Democrats This, of
course, because Mckinley stands for
McKinleyism. Just why Mckinley
nomination would be more of a direct
challenge to the Democracy than the
nomination of Morton or Reed or any
of the other candidates would be, is
hard to see. The nomination of either
party is always a challenge to the
other panty and is always accepted.
The World wants to know if there
will "be boiling enough among the
free silver Democrats to destroy all
possible chance of his election, except
in case of a foreign war, when nothing
could defeat him." To this question
it says that no one can answer with
positive knowledge. That is true, but
we have no hesitation in saying that
there would be boiling enough among
the free silver Democrats to defeat
MIN.
1t is very doubtful if the World, or
any of Mr.. Cleveland's supporters,
realize how bitterly opposed to him
the free silver Democrats are. Bitterly
opposed to free silver as he is, they
are still more bitterly opposed to him
And their hostility to him increases
rather than diminishes. To him they
charge the defeat of the Democratic
party in Kentucky. He has today in
Georgia one Of his cabinet, who does
his bidding as Friday did Robinson
CruSoe's, trying to compass the de-
feat Of ex-Speaker Crisp, and if he
shall succeed. we may expect to see
the same result that has been wit
nesses in Kentucky.
With such facts as these staring
them in the face can anyone doubt
whether the free silver Democrats
would bolt Mr.. Cleveland if nominated?
The World is of the opirion that he
would accept third term, using the
old adage that silence gives consent"
as an argument that he would and
adding, knowing all these facts, Mr.
Cleveland's silence leaves him in the
position at least of a passive candi-
date. There is nothing authentic on
record to warrant an opposite conclu-
sionu. There are only gossip and
opinion. Mr.. Cleveland is in the habit
of speaking for himself. If he does not
want the nomination, or is not willing
to stand up again for principle, it is
only fair to assume that he would
have said so.'
