ANOTHER TRIBUTE TO BAsKlN.

rSalt Lake Tribune, Nov. /, 1881
The Tribune endorses every word that
has been said or can be said in support
Of Judge Baskin's character and quail
fications for the great office of su-
preme judge. He is a strong and hon
est man and able lawyer. But why in
praising him is it necessary to say that
because Judge Zane has a son who is
practicing lawyer, there are dissatis-
fed people, and that because of this
dissatisfaction, he should be defeated?
If he ought to be defeated, it must be
because of his decisions, and they are
the things that should be attacked, if
they can be. A man who has been for
dozen years on the bench and who
has lived a blameless life before his
fellow men, ought to be secure against
assault unless his official acts are sub
jects of censure. To say a judge
should be defeated because there are
men who do not like him. or some mem
Der of his family, is as unjust as it is
absurd. Any rulings that a judge has
made, any decisions that he has handed
down, if open to criticism, are legiti-
mate matters to oppose his reelection
upon. but personal spite is no good
weapon. The trouble with all suits
tried in court is that one of the parties
is sure to be beaten, and when some
men are beaten they are sure that they
have been wronged. ftIt

BRAzEN INCONSISTENCIES.

The fight being made by the Republi-
can organ in this campaign is insin-
cere and inconsistent from start to
finish.
It condemns Democratic candidates
for alleged offenses which it condones
in supporting the Republican ticket
1t opposes B. H. Roberts, although it
has supported John Henry Smith in
the past; although it is now advocat-
ing the election of Andrew Jensen and
Edna L. Smith to the state legislature
now.
1t raised a howl about an ancient A.
P. A. issue in the beginning of the
campaign; yet it is supporting the Re
publican county ticket, which contains
the names of three members of the
A. P. A.
It pretehds to favor silver, but it en-
dorses and applauds the policies of the
Hanna administration.
1t has said that no tariff can help
the country until the single gold stand
ard is abolished, but tariff agitation is
it's speciality since the state convention
was held.
Until recently it denounced all who
! proclaim the return of prosperity. but
now it has changed very suddenlT in
this particular
But the most inconsistent of all its
Inconsistencies is the manner in which
it started out to fight the A. P. a. while
it's favorite candidate for a county
office, the one it would rather have
| elected than any other, is himself iden-
tilted with the a. P. A. organization,

WHERE THEY DIFFER.

The Republicans Of Utah are try
ing to make the people believe that
their party Is the true silver party,
and that in it lies all hope for free
coinage. In making such a preposter-
Gus claim they ignore the anti-free
coinage declaration of the St Louis
platform and assume that on their as
surances the people viii be equally dis
regardful Of the declaration on silver
contained in the Republican national
platform. Surely these are great claims,
and could they be substantiated the
people might give heed to them and
support the Republican ticket
The Democrats also claim that their
party is the true silver party, and in
substantiation of their claim point to
the declaration in favor of the free
unlimited and independent coinage OF
silver contained in the Democratic ma
tional platform.
Both parties in Utah are claiming to
be the true friend of silver. The Demo-
Gratis say silver is the great issue; the
Republicans say that protection is the
great issue and so when they mount
their campaign horse, recognizing that
where TWO issues ride upon one horse
one must ride behind, the Republicans
make silver ride behind. On their cam
paign horse the Democrats put silver
in front of all else. and will keep it
there.
And this is where Utah Democrats
and Republicans differ on the silver
question; the Democrats say it must
and shall have first place. while Re
publicans say that it must and shall
have second place. What say the peo-
pie of Utah?

"a GOOD SILVER MAN"

Ex-senator Arthur Brown protests
that he is a good silver man, and while
we may not agree with him as to what
constitutes a good silver man, we fully
confess that he is just as good a silver
man as the other Republicans
1t is true that the ex-senator doesn't
deem it advisable to urge the silver
question until all private Indebtedness
in the country has been wiped out
through the beneficent operation of the
protective tariff. Some may think that
this is putting the time for taking up
the silver question too far off, while
others have noted what they term a
strange coincidence in the ever increas-
ing tariff duties and the ever increas-
ing private Indebtedness.
As we have said, we believe that ex-
Senator Brown is as good a silver man
as other Republicans are. The fact
that it was Republican congress and
president that struck down silver in
1873 doe0a't show that the Republicans
are hostile to silver. They struck down
silver on the same principle that the
Roman senators struck down Caesar
not that they loved him less, but that
they loved Rome more. And the Re
publicans struck down silver not that
they loved it less, but that they loved
gold more. And it should never be
forgotten that the Republicans who
struck down silver like the senator's
who struck down Caesar, were all hon
orable nlen.
Certainly ex-senator Brown is a good
silver man, Just as good as the other
Republicans. all of whom endorse. Pres

WHEAT AND PROSPERITY.

The Republican state platform an
nounees the advent of prosperity under
the Dingley law
Republican stump-speakers are
claiming that times have been growing
better ever since the passage of the
Dingley bill
In May of this year wheat COM
manded as high as SLIT per bushel,
New York prices
Yesterday the same grade of wheat
called for 669s cents per bushel in the
New York market.
In six months of Ding1eyism wheat
has fallen s1.1O5s per bushel.
These figures are taken from the
regular market reports. No intelli-
gent man will dispute them.
1t is in order for Mr.. Eldredge and
other administration supporters to ex-
plain to the farmers of Utah why the
price of wheat has fallen in six months
of Dingleyism.

SHIELDING ITS CANDIDATE.

On the 23rd of October. 1898, the Re
publican organ published a lot of sta
tistics compiled by Mr.. Fisher, in which
the following paragraph occurred:
1T is said as against this the old
board and its officers turned into the
treasury $S7,O91.54 but there was actp-
ally turned in $141, 421.15"
Mr., Fishers attention was called to
the discrepancy between these figures
and those in his official report.
This caused the organ to say that
Mr.. Fisher has never told the taxpay-
ers any such thing"
Then the Tribune shoulders the blame
Of the false figures in order to shield its
candidate for auditor. Pity but it could
relieve him of that $4,000 blunder as
easily

MARK HANNA's EPIsTLE.

In the Salt Lake Tribune of Aug. 9,
1898, the letter written by Chairman
Mark Hanna to United States Marshal
Glen Miller was published with COM
ments
AS MIR. Miller is upon the stump for
EldreGge and the Republican ticket,
the letter is reproduced:
Cleveland, o., Aug. 3. 1898.
Hon. Glen Miller. United states Marshal.
salt Lake City Utah.-My Dear Sir:
have been informed that it has been sug-
yesred that the Republican party of Utah.
at the next state convention. endorse in
its platform the free coinage of silver.
As chairman OF the national Republican
committee. charged with the duties Of the
position, I protest against the Repub-
leans OF any state Sal1ing such action.
It would be clearly in opposition 20 the
principles of the party as declared in the
platform at the national convention at
81. Louis and / trust you win use your
influence and efforts TO the end that that
declaration may be sustained. Yours
truly, NJ a. HANNA
in the Tribune interview. published
at the same time, Mr.. Miller expressed
himself as in accord with its senti-
ments. and favored going into the cam
paign on the lines suggested by the
letter"
Commenting editorially upon the
matter, the Tribune called it "a fool
letter. called out by an impertinent fed
eral official who never had large fol-
lowing in Utah, and who certainly
never win have if he hopes to win
through his present devices.
Phen the organ disputed the wisdom
of such advice in a silver state like
Utah, and questioned the chance of
winning by such outsDoken methods.
Now it swallows Hanna's advice. sup
ports a gold candidate on platform
endorsing Mckinley, and declares, in
ferentially. that the only hope for sill
yer is in party guided By Gage,
Hanna and Mckinley.

CLOSED.


The mississippi exposition is
closed, and in the magnificent grounds
packers have taken the place of pa
irons. 1t was not a great international
exposition, but it was a great trans
Mississippi exposition. greater in fact
than people generally have realized. 1t
would be unjust to compare the exposi-
ton at Omaha with that at Chicago,
and to do so shows a lack of apprecia-
ton of the pretensions and merits of
the two. Considered by itself the
Omaha exposition was truly wonder
ful achievement in every respect.
and those who visited it, whether from
the east or the west, were astonished
at the size and completeness of it.
while the beauty of the buildings and
their artistic grouping around the lit
tie lake, gave the whole an architec-
tural harmony. compounded of grand
eur and simplicity, that aroused the
wonderment and challenged the ad-
miraticn OF all. When lighted at night.
the grounds We're beautiful beyond
compare.
The exposition was a great success as
such and it is pleasant to note that it
was a success from a financial point
of view. 1t would have been a great
misfortune had the promoters of the
affair been financially injured They
showed great enterprise and energy,
and they have been fully rewarded
Omaha is to be congratulated on the
complete success, from all points of
view, of her exposition. The people
everywhere are proud of Omaha.

Snarting under recent exposures
of its fake specials, the Tribune has
been watching eagerly for chance to
play even. It found in Mondays Her
aid a special correspondence from
Meteetse, Wyo., the truth of which the
Tribune verified by a clipping from a
Wyoming paper, The story being true,
one might wonder what capital our
contemporary would try to make out
of it. But it says that there is mo
telegraph line at Meteetse." However,
it does not claim that there is no post
office there. Special correspondence is
always sent through the postoffice,
whether there happens to be a tele-
graph line in the town or not.
