DISTINCTION WITHOUT
DIFFERENCE.

Sunday morning The Herald pub
lisI,ed a column or more of editorial
extracts from the Tribune, in Which
that paper insisted that the election. in
Salt Lake county. Of a member of the
territorial legislature had an import
ant bearing on the silver question Our
contemporary was then asking such
questions and making such statements
as these:
Voters. what kind Of message are
you going to send to washington on
GONE BACK ON THE CAUSE OF
SILVER. has practically endorsed Mr.
Cleveland, or that you have entered
your protests against the robberies
committed by the present administra-
ton?
See that you so vote that when, to-
night, the ballots shall be counted, IT
WILL BE POSSIBLE TO SEND THE
NOTE ALL ALONG THE LINE THAT
THE COMMERCIAL CENTER OF
UTAH HAS SHOWN THE INTELLI-
GENCE TO REPUDIATE THE POLL
CY THAT HAS FILLED THIS RE
GION WITH DISTRESS.
1t must be admitted that such ques-
tons and statements as these from
its own columns are quite enough tr
upset our contemporary present sys-
tenn of theology. A dogma of its pres
ent theology is that an election in Salt
Lake City at the present time, where
one party has declared for free silver
and the others have not, win not serve
as an index as to the silver sentiment
of the community. IF the election of q
member of the territorial legislature
could serve as an indication as tC
whether or not Utah had gone back or
the cause of silver, why cannot g
municipal election do the same thing
The functions of territorial legisla-
ture and a city administration are en-
| tirely different. bat an election 80 one
serves no better than election to the
other to indicate the sentiment of the
people on the silver question. Could q
territorial legislature take any actor
! on silver that q city administration car
not?
Our contemporary finds itself sin 6
hole" and is making desperate efforts
to becloud the minds OF the people Sc
that they shall not see Just where it is
But they do see where it is, and they
also see that the silver question is al
issue.
In saying that the present campaign
! cannot have the same significance, 81
| far as the silver question is concerned
as did the special election of January

tinetion without q difference

MR. GAME DENoUNcEs NoM1.
MATING CONVENTIONS.

As most of our readers know Hon.
John T. Game is chairman of the non
partisan campaign committee. AS such
he has issued several addresses to the
voters of this city. The last one he
issued appeared yesterday and con-
tanned this:
They say if the non-partisans had
called convention, open to all the
people. and let them nominate a ticket
il would have been more in accord with
popular usage. But suppose such a
convention had been called, what would
have been the result? The men in Of
fee. the men who want office and the
have attended that convention in a
body and defeated any proposition
looking to the placing of q non-partiSan
ticket in the field. Knowing this, and
realizing that such men invariably run
their own party conventions 90 suit
their selfish ends. the believers in non
partisanism took the only safe course
open to them. They, as did the nom
partisans OF New York, formed COM
mittee of leading, representative citi-
zenS. and that committee. after mature
deliberation, and after canVassing every
section of the city for available candi-
dates, selected and placed in nominal
ton the persons for whom they now
ask your suffrage. Contrast this
method with the methods of the politi-
cal conventions, where seekers after
place engaged in unseemIy scranbles
for nominations. and when the ticket
was brought forth. not out OF the cool
deliberations of q body of men intent
On serving the best interests of the city,
but as the result Of disgracefuI trades
between selfish Office seekers. The diff
ference in the methods is plainly dis
cernible in the tickets Compare them
carefully. II you 90 not conclude that
the citizens reform ticket is the best,
ne do not ask you to vote for it.
Here is a direct ar,-sisnr7ey,+ of tho

convention methods of nominating can
dtdates for office, the method that is in
vogue everywhere throughout the
United States. and which is the Amer
lean method.
Mr.. Game says that if the non-par-
tisans had called a convention the men
who want Office and the political heel
ers of all parties would have attended
in body and defeated any proposition
looking to the placing OF non-partisan
ticket in the field. Mr.. Caine then tells
Us how the non-partisans proceeded,
and invites the voters TO contrast this
method with the methods of political
! conventions where seekers after place
engaged in unseemiy scrambles for
nominations"
If 8Ir Game does not speak as one
having authority he at least speaks as
one having experience. and that fact
alone entities his observations and re
marks to consideration Whom nominal
lions were to be made by the Demo-
cratic party few have been more Will
ing to meet those nominations half way
when the Office was seeking the man
than Mr.. Game.
Two years ago the Democrats held Il
state convention at Ogden. It was such
e convention as Mr.. Game, as chairman
of the nom partisan campaign commit
/ tee. pictures as a sort Of Miltonic hell.
And whom did that convention nomi-
nate as the Democratic candidate for
governor? 1t named Hon. John L
Game: and it wasn't necessary to tele-
| graph Mr.. Game in his far away home
that he had been nominated, for he was
right there among the office seekers
and the "heelers.'
| a year ago the Democrats Of Salt
Lake county held a convention to nomi-
nate candidates for the legislature.
! That convention vas composed very
| largely of those who sat in the late
Democratic city convention as dele
! gates. In that county convention
! there we're office seekers and ''heel-
ers." and in the "unseemly scrambies
for nominations Hon. John It. Game
secured one And after he had Sc
cured one the wicked Democrats elected
| him as state senator. which Office he
now holds.
We cannot but think that Mr. Caine
displays very poor taste in arraigning
and denouncing nominating conYen-
tons as he does after he has been SC
familiar a figure in those Of the Demo
| cratic party and had received so many
! favors at their hands. We dislike to
use the argument ad hominem, but il
party conventions are SO perfectly in
competent to nominate fit candidates
for public office, as NIr Caine in his
| last address assures the voters they
are, perhaps he viii cite his own case
| to prove his allegation.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE.

When any OF our contemporaries
show enterprise it always gives us
pleasure to note the fact and commend
them for the same. we differ very
radically from the Tribune on nearly
every question. but we never fail to
recognize some of its peculiar" mer-
its, as. for instance, when it cuts long
specials out of The Herald and pub
fishes them without credit
a few days ago one of our state ex-
changes commended The Herald for
its news service, and our contemporary
was much vexed over it and made it
the occasion TO say some mean and
uncalIed for things about The Herald.
We let that pass and do not hold it
against our contemporary, What We
desire to do now is to call attention to
its news service. Yesterday it printed
on its front page this telegram"

the character and competency OF the
nominees. That is supreme contempt
for the people. They are told not to
consider the methods by which candi-
dates for office are named, when the
naming Of candidates is their peculiar
province. The committee has never
given so signal an instance of its con-
tempt for the people.

KNEW BRYAN LONG AGO,
Has the Great Silver Leader a Ro-
nance?


Louisville, KY. Oct 24-Is there a
romance in the life of William Jennings
Bryan which he has kept secretly
guarded from the world? This is what
is being asked by members of the party
who accompanied Mr.. Bryan on his
tour of Kentucky. At Loretto there is
a school for girls in charge of the
Nazarene sisters When the Bryan
special reached Loretto the school,
girls gathered to greet the great SILVER
leader Then the sisters in charge
pressed forward One by one they
cIasped his hand and passed on The
sixth stopped, raised her veil and, look
ing up. said: "Mr. Bryan, I knew you
in the long ago" Mr. Bryan was start
led. He leaned forward and a name
was whispered in his ear. He still
clasped the hand of the nun. whose
cowl had fallen back and revealed a
face that showed traces of great
beauty. There was a whispered CONVEX
sation. but not until the train moved
slowly away did they break their hand
clasp. Il knew her long ago" was all
the explanation Mr.. Bryan gave TO his
friends.
That is an interesting item about an
interesting man, and well worth pub
fishing: in fact. it is so interesting that
The Herald itself published it, but not
as a telegram, for it was sent a number
of days ago from Louisville to the Chi
cago Tribune, and The Herald duly
Acknowledged the source, AS a tele-
gram, the Tribune simply faxed it, that
is all: still it is a good sample Of Trib-
une news service.
The late Charles a. Dana laid it down
as a fundamental rule in good news
papering that whenever anything was
taken from another paper that full and
complete credit should be given The
Herald always does this; our contem-
porary doesn't.
