UNFAIR METHODS.
Some Of the Tactics Employed

Some OF the Tactics Employed by
ClarlS's Adherents.
The Herald wishes to direct attention
to some of the unfair methods which
are being used in this campaign by
those who are seeking the election of
John Clark. You can call this inter-
ference Of church in state matters, or
anything else, but the facts are these.
Down in the annex one of the home
missionaries OF the church has been
making d tour of his district during the
last, few days and has paid special at
tention TO the ladies. He has stated to
several. and The Herald is prepared to
produce the proof, if the assertion is
good Latter-day Saints unlesS they
voted for John Clark" Whether this
man is authorized by his bishop to do
this or not is not certain But it is a
fact, nevertheless, and there are many
who are asking themselves whether the
church really supports Mr. Clark. as d
church. If not Why are these men per-
mitted to engage in this kind of polit-
zeal employment? Is it apart Of the
duty of a home missionary to go about
telling his flock how they shall voter
Another thing. Alfred Solomon has
been very active in this kind of work
also. He has canYassed the Third ward
in the interest of Clark Ordinarily
there is nothing wrong in any man
making q canvass in the interests of
any candidate, but The Herald has it
that MI Solomon too relates that it is
the duty Of every Latter-day Saint to
vote for John Clark People ara asking
themselves over in the Third il this IS
a part of the doctrines and covenants
and whether there has been q new reVe-
lation.
Another thing. Wednesday night was
the meeting night OF the home mission
aries. When they had assembled. in
stead of being instructed in their dutv
as teachers of the way of peace and
truth. it is stated that an adjournment
was taken and the head of the meeting
informed those there it was for the pur-
pose of going to the nom partisan meet
ing, which vas good work as home
missionaries could indulge in.
Emmeline 3. Wells is alleged TO have
called another meeting of ladies a day
or two since. The good lady made a
mistake. She invited one gentle. be-
lieyinS her 70 be a member Of the domi-
nant church When the ladies were all
assembled Mrs. Wells is said to have
delivered n talk, stating it was the duty
of all women there TO vote for Brother
Clark. The balance of the ticket did
not cut so much of a figure But if
they could vote for a member of the
dominant church for every position. it
was their duty to do so. The Gentle
lady took notes on the address and re-
I orted it.
1t is not the Intention to raise any
scare about interference between politf-
cal parties by the church authorities.
hut the air is full of ugly rumors of this
kind and it is the common opinion that
such methods are unfair and that if
those who are resorting to these kind of
tactics are doing SO without authority
they should be checked II they are
acting with authority then that fact
should be also made known

A REVIEW.
Statement Put Out by Ex-Attorney
General Harmon.

- - 49, --SNOA-ASI
General Harmon.
Cincinnati O, Oct. 2S-Ex-Attorney
General Harmon will publish tomorrow
signed statement in reply to recent
criticisms regarding the proposed sale
of the Union Pacific railroad. He re-
views the action taken by Mr.. Olney
and himself. and what was done under
the Cleveland administration. He says
that the statement that the foreclosure
OF the government lien on the main line
and that on the Kansas Pacific should
have been q single suit. and possible
loss by breaking up the unity of the
property might have been avoided by
afterwards consolidating the several
suits. is wholly unfounded. AS the
property is in seven different states
and judicial districts, a separate sui-
had 20 be brought in each. The dis
advantage Of this TO the government
was plain from the start. Accordingly
Mr. Olney and himself urged congress
10 provide for a foreclosure of all the
government liens in q single court, but
the bills prepared for that purpose
failed to pass congress.

mittee of the Union Pacific road has
given up the idea of buying in the Kan

owns $1,000 oO in first mortgage bonds

the road by paying the amount due the
government, namely. $12. Jus, 272. but the
committee does not want the road, and
is only trying to keep out other bid

more to secure the Kansas Pacific. the
reorganization committee, it is claimed,
has determined that money is needed
in securing control of the Union Pa

M'KINLEYIsM IN OHIO.

Aside from this important measure,
the people of Ohio should bear in mind
that one of the most eminent citizens
of the state is now president of the
United States. He is especially entitled
to your kind and considerate favor and
deserves praise for the careful selection
and appointment of officers of the
United States. There has been no alb
rupt haste in making changes and
while from the nature of things he
could not appoint all who applied for
office, yet the changes he did make met
with and deserved the approval of the
Republican party. It is impossible for
any executive officer charged with the
duty of appointment to meet the wishes
of all. Many must be disappointed,
but they Will all eoncede that they
have had fair hearing. for no presi-
dent could have given applicants more
kindly and patient attention, nor could
any president have felt more keenly
his inability to comply with the wishes
of his friends
