PROMPTED BY DESPERATION.

There has been, to all appearances, a
political conspiracy on foot for some
time between Republican leaders and
their organ to involve the authorities
OF the dominant church in their plot
against B. Il. Roberts and the cause
Of silver.
Every overture was reDulsed, every
threat ignored, and every plan upset
until a prominent state official agreed
to step into the breach and create the
impression that he spoke by the card.
This fell so fiat that the conspirators,
according to the Tribune of yesterday
morning and the News of yesterday
evening, deliberately misrepresented
President George @. Cannon in order
TO make it appear that the first presi-
dency is opposed to the candidacy OF
Hon. B. H. Roberts.
His prompt Reputation of the alleg-
ed interview shows to what despicable
methods the Republican tricksters are
resorting, and to what desperate straits
they have been reduced.
Referring to the Tribunei fake, which
was nothing more nor less than a Re
publican appeal for church influence, .
President Cannon denied. in the News
of last evening, that he had said Ito a
newspaper reporter, or to anyone else
at any time" the things attributed to
him by the Republican organ.
Another fraud is thus exposed. For
the Republicans were trying to deceive
the people by misrepresenting Presi
dent Cannon.

THE COUNTY BUSINESS.

A Republican administration bonded
Salt Lake county for SS5O,O0O in 1896,
and left deficit at the end Of that
year amounting to $1S7SOS91.
In other words. the Republicans in
creased the county debt $5S7, SOS.91.
This was the financial condition of
the county when the Democrats took
hold on the 4th Of January, 1897.
Contrary to law, the Republicans fail
ed to make tax levy for interest pur-
poses. Consequently, the Democrats
had to raise the tax levy to pay in
terest on the debt contracted under a
Republican administration, and for
which the Republican commissioners,
in wapton disregard Of the law, had
failed TO provide.
The Democrats had to make a tax
levy sufficient to pay, not only this in
terest, but the salaries of the Repub-
Ican county officials, the floating in
debtedness they had incurred, and the
loose accounts for which they were
afraid to issue warrants without rul-
ing OF the court.
And, while the Democrats reduced
the running expenses of the county
more than 100000 per year, THE TAX
PAYERS ARE NOT YET THROUGH
PAYING FOR REPUBLICAN Elk
TRAVAGANCE.
At the present rate. within another
wear the Democrats viii have discharg-
ed e very considerable portion of the
debt incurred by the Republican county
istration-excepting the bonded
indebtedness of $S5O,OOO, which belongs
to Republican year.
But every vote cast for the Repub-
lican county ticket is a vindication Of
official extravaganza, an expression Of
preference for mileage bills. deficits
and debased warrants.
No taxpayer can afford to cast his
ballot that way.

be quite as proper TO distribute circu-
lars among the pupils, "by order of the
board of education" telling voters how
they should vote for one or the other
of these gentlemen as to distribute cir
culars telling voters how they should
vote on proposed amendment to the
constitution.
The board has authorized the intro
duction of politics into the schools, be-
cause it has undertaken to influence
the vote of the people on political
matter; we do not say a partisan mat
ter, but a political matter. 1t cannot
be condemned too severely. Politics
must be kept out of the public schools.
If it is not done it means degeneration
for the schools. The board of educa-
ton has opened the door for the adj
mission of politics into the schools
Let it be shut, never to be opened
again.

ELECT JUDGE BASKlN.

The friends of Judge Zane seem to
ignore the real objection to him. So
far as The Herald is advised, no at
tack has been made upon his qualifca-
lions for the Office.
The underlying objection is based
uron his personal environment, coupled
with his apparent disinciinationNt to reg
ulate his course in accordance with the
plainest principles OF justice.
The defense made for him by the
Tribune on yesterday ignores the real
question. Whether the chief justice de-
cides rightly or wrongly is not the
question. Of necessity that point can
not be determined, and those who OPP
pose him are not content to submit the
decision of that question to him or his
advocates.
We insist that when a judge is chal-
lenged because he hears and decides
causes in which his son is retained as
counsel, it is no answer to say that the
decisions were rightly given. That was
the answer made three centuries ago
by Lord Bacon to the house of lords.
He admitted the taking of gifts from
suitors. but alleged that his judgments
were, nevertheless, right.
Is there any ioubt,in the mind of
any one who has an ordinary concep-
ton of the ethics of the bench. that the

VOTE STRAIGHT.

It is generally understood, no matter
what Sheriff Lewis may say to the con-
trary, that his independent candidacy
is in the interest of the Republican
candidate for sheriff
Threats that the sheriff has been
making against the Democratic nomi-
nee confirm the impression that his
present race is one Of revenge on a
party that refused to renominate him,
and on the man who defeated him in
the party convention.
The causes of Mr.. Lewis defeat are
fairly well known. He has no one to
blame but himself. It is certain that
his party did not desire his continuance
in the sheriff's Office or it would have
placed his name on the Democratic
ticket.
Instead, they named a man to succeed
Sheriff Lewis who is deserving. The
nominee is a clean, sober, capable
young man. He will fill the position
with honor to himself and credit to the
community. No Democrat can afford
to vote for any candidate for sheriff
except John Howells. He can be relied
upon to conduct the Office as it should
be conducted.
Every true Democrat will vote for
John Howells, and so will every Re
publican who knows the sterling worth
and character of the man.

QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY

Replying to Mr. Roberts, Governor
Wells saws: when he returns to his
senses, I should like plain statement
from him, unembellished with billings
gate" etc.
Now, his excellency erred in intimat-
ing that Mr.. Roberts was not in his
senses when he made his statement.
for he distinctly says: Say that for me
through The Salt Lake Herald to Gov
ernor Wells, and here-that the gov
-ernor may know that am personally
and everywhere responsible for it."
etc.
When man is responsible for his
statements he cannot be out of his
senses. And hence people thought that
perhaps his excellency would second
Mr.. Roberts motion. In fact, in other
times and other chimes such a course
would have been inevitable. But these
are the better times.

they made the tax levy of 1896. 1t de-
clares that amy Indebtedness or liabil-
ity incurred contrary to this provision
shall be void" (See code. sec. 400, Sec
SIC, and C. l., sec. 49,. also laws of SO,
page BID
It was in violation of the law that the
Republicans failed to raise their levy
in 1886, something that no honest man
or party would boast about
ANY PARTY COULD KEEP THE
TAX LEVY DOWN BY VIOLATING
THE LAW AND JEOPARDIZING
THE INTERESTS OF THE COUNTY.
This was done by Republican coun-
ty administration in willful disregard
of the law or in criminal ignorance of
the law. Depravity only would boast
of the results of either.

DUNBAR's EASY VICTORY.

The result of the meeting between
County Clerk D. C. Dunbar and United
States District Attorney C. o. White
more at Sugar House last evening
proved the attorneys wisdom in one
particular. He was wise in his refusal
to meet Mr.. Dunbar at the theatre.
The universal verdict of those who
were able to hear the discussion at
Sugar House is that Dunbar literally
and figuratively mopped the floor with
his lanky adversary.
The crowd was pretty evenly divided,
but before the meeting was over it
was all on Mr.. Dunbars side, with
lonesome exceptions. The presentation
Of facts by the Democratic champion
staggered the distinguished appointee
of President Mckinley, and won many
votes to the party of free coinage, bus
mess methods and economy.

A NEW MEDICAL WORK.

Governor Wells is an authority on
itch for Office" After suffering from
this malady from infancy, he writes
knowingly, and his treatise may be
accepted as a valuable addition to med
teal literature.
It is the work Of an expert thoroughly
conversant with all the symptoms and
dread effects of this peculiar disease.
The author has never found a cure for
it, but his experience is given that 9TH
ers may be saved from the affiiction.
The governor explains that 'extraor-
binary itching for Office" has been
known to Temporarily turn the brain -
And, over his signature, he gives an
illustration of this theory which leaves
no doubt of its correctness
While his excellency is not a licensed
practitioner. he desires to protect hui
manity from the ills through which he
has passed, and is still passing. Con-
sultation free.

VIOLATED THE LAW.

The Tribune shamelessly parades the
evidences of Republican dishonor and
disregard of the law in its Haunting of
the tax levy.
In 1886 the Republican county admin
istration bonded Salt Lake county for
$S5O,OOO
The law requires that tax levy
shall be made before or at the time of
mourning bonded Indebtedness, pro-
viding for "the collection of an annual
tax sufficient to pay the interest on
such Indebtedness as it falls due"
This law was in force at the time the
Republican commissioners incurred the
bonded indebtedness. and at the time

have gotten their names on both lists.
So far as Judge Dey is concerned, sup

ELDREDeE's INCONSISTENCIES.

Alma Eldredge is running for con-
gress as Republican, standing on a
platform that endorses all of President
McKinley's policies. Doing this, he
must endorse the ST. Louis platform
and the declaration against free silver
and in favor of maintaining the exist
ing gold standard
Mr.. Eldredge says that he is in favor
of silver and that he will not be bound
by any party caucus on it.
If Mr.. Eldredge will refuse to stand
by party caucus decision on the silver
question, what assurance is there that
he would not refuse to be bound by
party caucus on any question?
For a member of congress to refuse
to stand by his party's caucus decision
on a question on which there must be
absolute party harmony is for him to
betray his party.
If a member of congress will betray
his party on an important question, is
he not just as liable to betray his con-
stituency on the same question?
How can Mr.. Eldredge endorse Nc
Kinley's single gold standard policy
and at the same time endorse the free
silver policy of the people of Utah? He
has never explained how he can, nor
have any of his friends, political or
personal, explained for him.
Mr.. Eldredge may think he can sue
cessfully endorse free silver and the
single gold standard in Utah and that
the DeoDle will see no inconsistency
(they do see it), but in Washington he
would be told by Tom Reed and the
Republican leaders that he would have
to drop his free silver "heresy," as they
call it, as they would tolerate no non
sense or equivocation.
Would it not be the greatest folly to
send Mr.. Eldredge to congress?

TRIBUTE TO THE NEWS.

The Deseret News is to be commend
ed for it's fairness and absolute neutral
ity in this campaign. The temptation
has certainly been great for our even
ing contemporary to take a hand in re-
senting the style of personal warfare
introduced by those who feared to face
the real political issues of the day; but
it has held aloof.
There is less of bitterness among the
2eople when the News maintains that
strict independence the people naturally
expect of it as an organ of the church
whose membership includes members Of
all political parties.

REMEMB Der

The people of Utah should remember
that if on this day they elect a Re
publican congressman and a Repub-
lican legislature, they elect enemies of
the free. unlimited and Independent
coinage of silver, for the Republican
candidates, one and all, stand on a
platform that endorses all of President
McKinley's policies.
The people of Utah should remember
that it was the Republican party that
demonetized silver in 1873.
They should remember that on every
vote on the silver question in con-
gress, no matter in what form it has
come up, the great majority of the
Democrats have voted in favor of sill
yer while the great majority of the Re
publicans have voted against it.
They should remember that when the
two great national parties defined their
attitude on the silver question, the
Democratic party declared for the free,
unlimited and independent coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, while the
Republican party declared against the
free, unlimited and independent COIN
age of silver and in favor of maintain
ing the existing gold standard.
They should remember that the adj
ministration is doing all in it's power
to procure the enactment OF legislation
that will strengthen the existing gold
standard.
They should remember that the great
iccua +bic vaar as IL was in 1895 and
as it will be in 1900, is silver, and that
they put Utah in the Democratic col
umn in 1895 because the Democratic
party is the true silver party.
Remembering this, let the people of
Utah, by their votes today, keep Utah
in the Democratic column, the silver
column.

WHOLESALE HYPOCRISY.

Hypocrisy in one thing is hypocrisy
in everything with the local Republic
can organ. It has shouted for silver
for many years, to wind up at last in a
political organization pledged to the
single gold standard. It has howled
against ecclesiastical interference in
politics for a quarter of a century, only
to invoke it and rave when such as
sistance is not given the party to which
it belongs.
The Tribune has misrepresented lead
ing men in the dominant church re-
peatedly for the purpose of using their
names and influence for partisan eff
feet.
1t deliberately misquoted Presidents
Partridge and Johns Of Utah stake
Sunday morning, and tried to drag
them into the political arena in their
official characters for the purpose of
helping its congressional candidate.
Both gentlemen emphatcally denied
the statement accredited to them by
the Republican organ.
Then it invaded the office of the first
presidency, and made a final appeal to
the members thereof to break their
pledges of neutrality and join with it
in its partisan crusade. 1t published
what purported to be an interview with
President George @. Cannon, when Mr..
Cannon says that no such interview
was given.
The Tribune is unwilling that the au-
thorities of the Mormon church shall
keep out of politics. If it can't bull
doze them into helping further its
schemes, it will lie them into such a
course.
Our morning contemporary would
better give it up and confine its work
to state officers exclusively.
