One Voter Who is Not Fooled by the
Non-PartisanS.

Nephi, Oct. 22.-Editor Herald: Ne
phi, like many other cities throughout
the land, now has three tickets in the
field for the coming municipal election
As many OF our voters seem TO be at
sea- as 10 the proper course to pur-
sue, your correspondent would ihe to
offer d few hints through the columns
of your valuable paper for the especial
benefit of Weak-minded Democrats and
Silver Republicans who are in danger
of going astraY politically. To all such,
/ would say:
During the past three municipal cam
Yaigns il Nephi the Republican party
has been entrusted with control of our
city affairs. Each and every time that
party has proven itself so lamentably
incompetent TO properly carry out the
wishes Of the people that many of our
citizens tmostV supporters OF the Re
publican party) have become SO thor
oughly disguised that they now demand
q change OF name. These latter being
Of the Mckinley goidhuS persuasion.
seeing that their desertiou of the party
would surely swamp il, decided to hood
wink as many Democrats as they could
by setting up a cry for the organize
ton OF q sO-called nom partisan reform
party, and thus blind the voters to
their real intent, viz: to perpetuate Re
publican misrUle under an assumed
name.
BY batting their little pin hook with
an official nomination, they have sue
ceeded in catching few who have in
the past been Democrats tor revenue
only. but there are Stin enough of the
genuine Bryan persuasion left in our
ranks 10 thMart their little scheme and
change the control OF our city govern
meut from q reJrogresSiVe to q progress
sive administration.
But the scheme of these reforners(?}
extend to a wider field than our city.
They have designs against the affairs
OF the county and state. Both Of these
latter having recently gone oYerwhelm-
ingly Democratic ara the Republican
party being at war with our leading
industry, mining, the tricksters are cry

by the name Republican, o. are tainted
With the curse OF soldbuggery. or con-
nected in any way with that once bat
ant gang, the G. O. o. GREEDY old pre-

have resortec ID the silly tactics Of q
wounded ostrich. thinking that by hid
ing their heads they Win deceive thsil
pursuers, whose vision is clear and un-
obstructeG. And this, too. right aftel
a lameatahlc failure in that direction
last fan. when some of the misguided
Republican candidates tried 10 deceiy,
the voters % Tirue BY sporting Bryar
badges among the miners. and m csnber-
shin certificates to the Mckinley cluf

Nor IS this al. ia their platform theS
