tee? Do you, Democrats, and you, he
publicaus. admit that the delegates
whom you sent to your city conven-
lions nominated men and women who'
if elected, will choose their assistants
with an utter disregard of their fitness
or unftness for Office? Think over
what the charge of the non-partisan
committee means. What an aspersion
it is upon you.
You, voters of salt Lake City. know
who the gentlemen composing the non
partisan committee are, and have you
any reason to believe that all their pro-
fessed great solicitude for the welfare
of the people is more genuine than that
of those who do not wear their regard
for the people upon their sleeves?
Think this over.
If the committee we're really solicit
Gus for the welfare of the people, why
did it not consult with the people as to
how best to further their interests
Think it over.
Do you, voters of Salt Lake City. be
lieve that if this committee which pro
fesses so much solicitude for your well
fare actually had the solicitude for you,
that it would have mistrusted you as it
has? Think 1t over
This committee that issues addresses
to you fails in them to state why it
refused to cali any primaries or con-
ventions to name candidates. It adopts
an ohgarehic method in making pomi-
nations, yet gives no reason for doing
so, though the method is directly OPP
posite to that in use in popular gov
ernments Think it over.
The whole proceedings of the promot-
ers Of the non-partisan movement are
an indictment of popular government
and an assertion by implication tina
the people of Salt Lake City are unfi
to exercise the right of self govern
ment. Think it over.

Indianapolis went Democratic by
sweeping majority on Tuesday. much
to the surprise of the Republicans, who
depended upon Mckinley prosperity to
give them a victory Chattanooga
Tenn, did likewise, although for many
years it has been a staunch Republican
city. In both places the Chicago plat
form and the free coinage of silver
were heartily endorsed by the Demo-
Gratis, While the Republicans declared
for the single gold standard. These
are only straws. to be sure. but they
show pretty effectively which way the
wind is blowing in political quarters
at present" says the Denver Republic
an And yet there are people in Salt
Lake City who claim to be friends OF
free silver that say that silver has no
proper place in a municipal campaign.

TRANSPORTING MAILS Oh
STREET CARS.

How all-pervading is the power Of
the federal government is once more
made manifest in Chicago. 1t seems
that in that city there is some talk by
the city authorities Of stopping the
carrying of mails on street cars, but
why this is proposed is not SO clear;
no doubt it grows out of some dispute
between the street railway companies
and the authorities, and it may be that
the latter propose to stop the carrying
of mails as a, violation Of the COM
panies' charters. Be that as it may,
it is said that the general government
will brook no interference by the Chi
cago authorities with those lines of
street railroads which have contracts
with it for transportating the mails.
Some rather nice questions may be
involved in the case. If the charters
of the street railway companies forbid
them making contracts for the trans
portation of anything but passengers.
can they enter into any contract With
the government for transporting its
mails? And if they do, are such con-
tracts valid? If they are in violation
of their charter they are not valid, and
that the government is party to them
would not validate them. Might not
the companies also enter into contracts
to transport freight or express matter
intended for interstate commerce. and
can upon the government to protect
them against the city authorities?
In>the present dispute in Chicago the
interstate commerce power of the gov
eminent does not come directly into
question. so far as the dispatches state,
but it might very easily if interstate
travellers were upon the street cars and
the cars were not permitted to carry
| their passengers from one depot to the
other. When the great railroad strike
was on in Chicago three years ago this
very point was suggested, but II never
came up for adjustment, though it is
quite likely to at any time there is a
big strike in any of the large cities.
The Interstate commerce clause Of
the constitution. with the liberal and
ever broadening construction given il
by the courts, is, practically, the in
vestment in the general government o,
the power to destroy the states.

SILVER A NECESSARY ISSUE,

No one would think of contending for
a single moment that the election in
this city can have the same import
ance in the eyes of the nation that the
Greater New York election has; but
while it has no such Importance it still
remains true that straWs show which
way the wind blows.
The St Louis Globe-Democrat dis
cusses the New York election from the
affairs 1t says that a Republican vic
tory in the coming election in New
York would encourage the party all
over the country; that the defeat of
Tracy would encourage the ''Bryanites"
all over the country, and that this is
why the fight the Republicans are max
ing to carry the city is applauded by
the party everywhere
Here is a paper. noted for the clear
ness with which it grasps a situation,
that sees very plainly the bearing on
national politics of the election in New
York, and declares that the defeat of
Tracy would encourage the Bryan
ties" all over the country. BY Bryan
ites' it means all those who voted for
Mr. Bryan and free silver last year.
The GIobe-Democrat believes that the
defeat of Tracy, who is the Republican
candidate for mayor of Greater New
York and consequently stands for all
that Republicanism means. including
opposition to the free and independent
=
agement to the friends and advocates
of free silver. while his election would
correspondingly depress them all over
the country This makes it plain that
the municipal elections throughout the
country are being watched as having a
bearing on the question that was the
great issue last year 1t is recognized
by all that that question is
not dead, and hence it is
that the municipal elections are
SO closely watched for indications
as to the strength or weakness of the
silver sentiment. And out in the west
! in the very home, the very citadel OF
the silver sentiment. it is absolutely es-
sential that no sign of weakening be
| given. II VIII hOl uo " soy NAieNe IL
Utah all are in favor of silver and
hence there is no necessity for making
it an issue in municipal campaigns. II
is necessary to say something about it
to declare adherence to the doctrine o.
the free and independent coinage of sill
yer that the whole country may know
that the people of Utah are still firm
believers in the doctrine. In the pres
ent case it is not enough to be in favo
of silver, but the people must SHOW
that they are. This is necessary fo
the moral effect it will have. Let it b
said the people of Salt Lake City ig
nored the silver question in their loca
campaign and the enemies of silver vii
be able to say that the people of Sal
Lake City are Indifferent to it.
