THEY LACKED SUPPORT.

While many of the patriots mourn,
and the door of the headquarters is
closed, and the bung in the Hanna bar
rel has been replaced, and the sound of
the grinding is low, although the organ
plays the same old tune, there is one
who feels to rejoice.
1t is the ex-governor, the postmaster,
the would-be senator.
He points with pride to the counties
of Cache and Willard and Sanpete; he
calls attention to the returns; he dwells
upon the Republican majorities in each
and exclaims: Il stumped EN-"
The Dostmaster's minstrel show did
seem to please the people who patient
ly waited and made themselves COM
Portable as possible between songs. The
daily reports gave the singers most Of
the applause and attention, although it
is fair to presume that the interlocutor
received a demonstration of gratitude
whenever he paused to let the music
have a chance.
AS one old gentleman, in a county
named, is reported to have said, when
the postmaster and his troupe were
holding forth: eff them colored fellars
had a little better support they'd put
up a good show"

TO CACHE COUNTY DEMOCRATS

If the Democrats of Cache county
will listen to little friendly advice
from their friend, The Herald, they will
end their discussions and begin at once
to reunite the party there. OF course,
it is hard to overlook the oftense Of
those who profess interest in the well
fare of the party while they refuse to
stand by it's regular organization; but
men should be guarded in their accu-
sations and wise in the scope they give
to the application.
Sometimes large numbers of we'll
meaning men and women are misled by
those who have an influence over them;
sometimes voters are deceived by false
assertions or blinded by prejudices
which, when left alone, may subside as
rapidly as they arose. And while the
Democrats of Cache, the ones who
stood by the Democratic ticket, are
rigbteously incensed at those who fail
ed to do so, nothing should be said that
will widen the breach.
The blame should be placed where it
belongs and not made general to Of
fend others who were actuated by less
selfish motives and who have no inten-
ton of remaining outside of the ranks
OF Democracy.
To see Cache in the Republican col
umn is not a very pleasing sight to
Democrats of the state; but there
should be no excuse given for it's re-
naming so.

AWAITING THEIR DOOM.

Between watching for that Dingley
prosperity his party has promised and
dreading the business ruin he predicted
in case of a Democratic victory in
Utah, Governor Wells must have but
little time left for the other duties of
his Office.
From the wall Of despair that goes
up it is evident that the state savers
are IN great mental distress. They re-
mind one of the sect whose leader pro
phesied that ON a certain day not far
distant the world would come to an
end.
No doubt Secretary Hammond shares
the governors fears, as he is believed
TO bear considerable portion of the
other executive worry and responsible
ity. But he ought to face the impend-
ing doom OF the people with the full
consciousness of having done his part
in trying to avert it.
Chairman Walton's day dreams and
visions OF the night are probably filed
with horrid apprehensions as he sits
amid the ruins Of his campaign struc-
ture trying to extract consolation from
4 the assurances Of p. Ditto.
Nothing could smite with fear the
superstitious heart of Arthur Brown
like a picture Of rooster exercising
its lungs on the morning after an cleo
ton. There could be no joy in such a
pastoral scene for him-nothing but the
bleak outlook pictured by his excel
lency, the governor.
And Fred McGurrins pulses must
have thrilled with an indignation close
akin to that which ran like a river
through The north when Sumpter fell, .
as he witnessed the determination of
the people TO go to rack and ruin in
spite of the warnings of the governor
and himself.
And tears. hot. scalding tears, can
only be the portion OF George A. Smith
as he scans the horizon for the spec
tres approach. The whole patriotic
band is in agony and the. governor is
the cause of it all. Their agitation is
going on. If the prediction fail it win
not be their fault or the fault of their
organ.

THE ARMY INVESTIGATION.


The campaign is over and one may
discuss the investigation of the war
department again without being sus-
pected of doing so for political effect
The work of the committee is generally
conceded to be a disappointment. But
it will, have one good effect, if it has
no other. Although it has not gone far
enough to bring any officer to Justice
for neglect of duty, to expose the
guilty or to avenge the wrongs com
mitted. it has made plain the need of
the investigation; it has demonstrated
that something was rotten in Den
mark" something that all the white
wash piled upon the commissary and
medical departments could not con-
ceal.
The Louisville Courier Journal. in re-
viewing the progress Of the investiga-
ton commission, says:
"Those who understood at the begin
ming that the commission was appoint
ed in order not to find out anything
are not altogether satisfied. In fact,
they are disappointed. Not that the
commission has not done its best. A
majority, at least, of its members have

days one would see a caucus composed
of men in planters dress, with sombre-
roS or Panama hats, and there were
planned political campaigns, there the
log-rolling took place, and it was there
that Stephen A. Douglas found his
most ardent supporters.
"a few years later new light come
up in st. Louis in the person Of Jo-
seph B. McCullagh. He founded the
Globe, afterward consolidated with the
Democrat. McCullagh was fresh from
the army. He had a dashing, slashing
way of saying things and before long
he had the editor OF the opposition
turning on the gridiron. The old fell
lows who came to st. Louis from the
interior and from the south resented
McCullagh's Interference, and besought
the editor of their organ to call Nc
Cullagh out but this he never did
However. personal journalism finally
led to a street encounter, and of course,
friends interfered Still later long af-
ter the incidents mentioned, and long
after the paper denounced by its party
had partially recovered from its party S
hypercriticiSm, the old town was stirred
by Republican administration, which
had undertaken to suppress gambling
and shut up saloons on Sunday. Talk
about hot times-why, Santiago on the
pared to st. Louis under this regime.
''Mr. McCullagh was made foreman
of a special grand jury called to inves-
tigate the evils. There never was a
grand jury like that. McCullagh had
a keen sense of humor. He knew the
old cronies of st. Louis who stayed
| downtown late, and who had rooms in
the Planters House. They were mer-
chants, steamboat captains and retired
politicians. McCullagh had every one
of them before his grand jury, and he
also had up his FRIEND the enemy,
who had killed the Democratic party
in the state and nation. The weather
was just as hot as the old towns blood,
and nearly every day for a week Nc
Cullagh had his old enemy before him
on the spider. Nothing came of the in
vestigation. except a series of articles
in a third newspaper, written by a
young man who in some manner OBJ
tanned the confidence of Mr.. McCul-
lagh. The stories of how McCullagh
roasted and tortured his competitor
caused the town to laugh, and out of
the hilarity grew a bitter feeling in the
community.
But for some years later the man
who had Killed his party became a
sort of wanderer. He left st. Louis,
where he had so long been a power.
! Financial distress followed him. He
failed in everything he touched. until
at last he went back to st. Louis and
became postmaster.

Colonel William Hyde, not only boss of
his party in his city and state for
years, but one who undertook to boss

advanced east should see to this, for
the credit of their contention that such

west of the Rocky mountains there
might be a touch of romance in the in
eident. The main characters would at
least be looked upon as picturesque.
But away back there where it actually
took place people are apt to regard
train robbery as plain stealing. It is
only romantic on the plains or among
the mountains. 1t is offensive among
the farms and towns of the .effete
east, and it ought to be properly pun
ished
Whether it is Butch and Mccarthy
or some of the rest of the boys, they
seem to be forgetting themselves. The
scene of operations selected may be
more profitable and more easily worked,

HOW 1T HAPPENED.

The Republican organ is not nearly
so fond of Alma Eldredge since the
election as it pretended to be before.
1t has compared him unfavorably with
several Republicans who might have
been nominated. And yesterday it
said:
The Republicans were backcapped
from the first. They had no money;
they had a candidate for congress who,
while most worthy as man, has never
had the training which was calculated
to fit him for the office for which he
was named, which fact made voters so
Indifferent that 5000 of them in this
city remained away from the polls;
they had the Glen Miller letter flung in
their faces daily.
There are other ways Of explaining
'how it happened" but everything
goes. 1t isn't our time to explain. If
the incapacity of the Republican can
didate and the indiscretion of Glen Mil
Ter caused the Republican defeat, let
it go at that.
AS to the Republicans being back
capped" it was not supposed that the
organ would admit it.

Moody and the Tough.
(New York Tribune


Years ago. when Moody was preach
ing in the slums of large city, he was
delayed in leaving the hall till late in
the evening. The exit was in a back
street, and as he left the building ne
found number of toughs waiting to
annoy him. AS he walked along he
heard them say, Here he comesp and
they prepared to jostle him from the
sidewalk Going straight up to the ring
leader Mr.. Moody held out his over
coat, and, with possession that
commanded complete respect, said:
MY friend, won't you just help me on
with this overcoat? I am not quite so
active now as I was at your age and
some day. when you are as old as ann,
I'll be glad to do you the same favor"
No bully was ever more completely
taken back with surprise. He held the
overcoat for the evangelist to get into
it, and then thanking the young man
for his aid, Mr.. Moody went along I'M
moleSted.

some GOOD, SHORT STORIES
justification of the Julep.


Nearly a quarter of a century ago,
says the Pittsburg News, as old or
middle-aged persons will remember, the
religious temperance women of the
north organized a movement against
the saloons, which assumed large pro-
portions and took the form of veri-
table crusade. 1t invaded almost every
city and large town, bands of enthusi-
astic women going from saloon to sa-
loon, praying and singing in every
place where they could secure permits
sion.
While the crusade of the praying
sisters" was at its height, that staunch
old rebel, Jubal A. Early, visited Rich
nond, Va, for the first time since the
civil war

friend, Governor Vance of North Car

POLICEMEN REINSTATED.

The decision of the supreme court
re!nstating eight policemen who We're
removed last May on the recommend
alton Of the mayor, merely adds to the
fire and police complications which the
courts of Utah have been trying to I'M
ravel for several years, and for which
the taxpayers Of Salt Lake City have
been paying.
If recent experience has taught a les
son TO the Legislators and people in re-
gard to municipal government, it is
that the absolute removal of fire and
police departments from partisan influ-
ence is out Of the question.
When the mayor sent his recommen-
daticn to the council on the 9rd of
May, ii was plain to be seen from the
names submitted and from those
dropped, that the chief of police was
showing somebody some things
In accordance with an ordinance
passed Feb. l, 1885, as the mayor said
in his communication, he made his ap-
pointments. Besides the duty sergeants
and desk sergeants and policemen
named, the following changes were
made:
Joseph S. Barlow was appointed in
place of F. c. Wire; Adam Paul, in
place of George R. Raleigh; E. NJ. Tai
bot, in place of Matt Rhodes; Boman
Cannon, in place of j. a. Busby; o. P.
Pratt, in place of II. A. Heath; Rich
ard Eddington, in place of R. L. Shan
non; William Thorn, in place of T. ].
Everill. and James Williams, in place
Of w. E. Carey
The eight policemen who were re-
moved by the mayor viii have to be
reinstated and their salaries, amount
ing to about $4,000, will have to be
paid by the city Without commenting
on the justice or injustice of their
claim, it IS about time for a legislature
to pass a law, concerning the construc-
ton of which there should be no doubt
The people of Salt Lake are tired of
paying salaries to policemen who are
not in the public service. The fire and
police law has cost a good many dol
lars in this way. 1t enabled Chief Pratt
to take a years vacation while his
salary went on. 1t has permitted these
elghC OCher members OF the force to
attend to their private business for six
months, while the city is obliged to pay
them for the same time according to
this ruling of the court.
The conclusion Of the court is that
the petitioner and his assignors, I'M
der the existing laws, are entitled to
hold 3heir offices until lawfully re-
moved for cause, and that the mayor
and city council, having attempted to
remove them from Office without cause,
their action was unlawful and void.
The officers not having been lawfully
removed, it was the duty of the re
spondent to draw his warrant for their
salaries. upon proper demand therefor
and the court erred in not issuing the
writ Of mandate to compel him to
do so"
An important duty for the next leg
islature to perform will be to enact
some measure of relief, whereby the
taxpayers of this city may escape the
quarrels and chickering's that have been
going on in the police department to its
own decentralization, and at the expense
Of the public.

FICTION OR FACT?
Interesting Story of the Late Colonel
Hyde's Career.


CNew York Sum-
"a man died in my town the other
day." said st. Louis citizen to Sun
reporter, "who had singular political
history and a unique personality. He
was the first man in this country, so
far as L know, to say that the Demo-
cratic party was dead and buried, and
yet he lived and died a Democrat. The
assertion made in print in the news
paper which he edited, caused him to
be cut adrift by the party in his state,
reduced the circulation of his newspa-
per, opened the field for competitor,
and, for the time being, removed the
headquarters of the party from ST
Louis, where they always had been, to
Kansas City.
He was the man who first suggested
in the west, at least what was known
in politics as the passive policy of the
Democratic party That, as you know
resulted in the endorsement by the
Democrats of the Greeley and Brown
ticket. Nothing ever Infatuated the
Democracy OF Missouri like that sug-
gestion. But when the party in other
states fell in with it, Missouri acqui-
esced under protest. The old confeder-
ate element was on top. Out of that
campaign came the new blood which
set itself UP in Kansas City, and it
knocked the ST. Louis ring, which had
always dominated the party, out of
sight. :
1T was at the close of this campaign
that the man who has just died printed
a, double-leaded editorial in his paper,
one of the oldest in the state, in which
it was announced in cold type that the
Democratic party was dead at last, and
that the burial had taken place. l was
travelling in Missouri at that time, and
the excitement caused by this an
nouncement was at white heat. Meet
ings were held in some sections and the
newspaper and it's editor were de-
nounced. Later on resolutions in coun-
ty and congressional conventions were
passed ruling out the paper as a party
organ and the editor socially and po-
litically.
"And yet when Cleveland became
president the first time he appointed
this man postmaster of st. Louis. And
under the second administration of
Cleveland the man was appointed SUI

appointed when his death occurred
Before he killed his party this man
