PUBLISHING OR POSTlNG9

The last issue of the Lehi Banner
contains an editorial in regard to the
custom OF posting legal notices upon
posts, trees and barns, instead of doing
the proper thing and publishing them
In newspaper, In the course of the
article the Banner says:
Every newspaperman in the county
should oppose candidate who holds
to these primitive ways and fails to
see that the times have changed since
fifty years ago; that the people now
adays are too progressive and busy to
loaf around on the streets. The pec-
pie now want all notices in their local
papers"
We believe the Banner Is right In
the above, but its suggestion OF a
remedy / erroneous. The proper place
to have the presen, custom changed Is
in the Legislature, which frames the
law. The efforts of the newspapers
should be directed toward the prospec-
tive members OF the Legislature with
a view to having the present law
changed at the next session of that
body At the present time with u
large class OF legal notices the sheriff
or other officer has no option in the
matter. but must post the notices IL 50
Instructed by the parties at interest
With proper representations to mem
beers of the next Legislature, it should
be easy to effect a change which is 50
greatly to the benefit of all the people
This is also proper matter for con-
sideration and work by the Utah Press
association.

A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

The State platform of New York
Republicans says that "this campaign
is national campaign and our people
cannot escape its national conse.
quences." The above is probably
about the only truth in that platform,
and we quote 1t simply as a COM
parison with the expressions :. of
some of our 'silver-plated" Utah
Republicans, who are fond Of stating
that the present is only local cam
palgn, and that the financial question
and other needed reforms SHOULD re-
ceiye no consideration from the voters.
The present is a National campaign,
and upon the result of this election
depends the complexion of the
next Congress and the charac-
ter OF its legislation. Voters should
not allow themselves to be led estray
by the speclous arguments of Republi-
cans TO the effect that il is only men
that you are voting for this time, and
that all the offices are only local. II
is only scheme TO secure the election
OF a gold-bug Representative and Sena.

THE ENTERPRISE LANDS.


The Ephraim Enterprise in he last
issue has the following to say in re.
gard to the Salt Lake Tribune's fight
against the Democratic Congressional
candidate,
The Tribune continues It's vicious
attack on b. IL. Roberts. 1t makes
no direct charges, but IL is conducting
an underhand fight, insinuatiug things
IL dare not utter. IL 1t has anything
TO charge against h III. Roberts Why
don't IL come out, open aud above
board and make its charges. The peo-
pie of this State know b. Fl. Roberts
TO be an honorable citizen, one who
stands at the head Of the able men of
this State, and the carping of the Tri-
bune will only make them the more
determined to do their utmost to make
his majority the largest ever given 10
any candidate. Why don't the Tribune
say something about It's own cnndi-
datep Don't they know that there
was a gentleman named Eldridge
nominated FOR Congress by the Repub.
licansp IL says Roberts Is not posted
on the affairs of this government and
the issues confronting the people. Why
then, would 1t not be u good plan foI
the Tribune to get him into Joint
debate with Mr. Eldredge, so that his
ignorance on these matters might be
shown up before the people, Mr.. FL
dredge would certainly be glad of IN
opportunity to publicly discuss polil
cal issues with a man who is not
posted.

THE COUNTY CLERK.

The local q. o. p. organ has evident.
ly determined to concentrate all its
batteries upon County Clerk Haver
campHnd loses no opportunity to throw
mud at that able official. In recent
issue IL iufers that Mr. Havercamp has
made derogatory remarks about Nor
mons politically. Nothing could be
further from the truth, and the En-
quirer man knew IL was untrue when
II was printed. Mr.. Havercamp real
Ives and appreciates the loyal support
he has received from the Democrats
Of Utah county, both Mormon and
non Mormon, and nothing which he
has ever said could be construed into
a reflection upon the members of the
dominant church. The Enquirer has
several times referred to Clerk Haver-
camp as carpet dagger Now
what that sheets definition Of carpet
baggeris would be interesting reading
Mr.. Havercamp has resided in Utah
twelve years, and over ten years in
Provo City. How long does 1t take for
a man 70 become permanent rest

owner and taxpayer in Utah county

payer and If it proposes an equal test
on It's own ca ndidates, where will IL
get of at? The Enquirer's position
upon this matter is babyish and GER
tainIy indicates some personal ami
mus behind its articles. As to Mr.
Hevercamp os an Official, he Is able,
obliglng aud gentlemanly. His ability
and worth are universally recognized
In Utah county, and the election will
prove that the people do not wish to
lose his services.

REPUBLICAN PARTY AND SILVER

The following piece Of "rot" appears
IN the local Rold-bug organ of Thurs
day:
n silver men had stayed with .be
Republican party, the cause Of the
white metal would have been much
nearer full recognition today than ever
before. The Democratic party is
proving traitor TO silver, Just as il
has proven itself to all other great
issues before the nation, even to that
OF free trade. 1t Is n party Of promises
but not performances. The Republic.
can party ~ the great party of progress
in the United States, and If silver is to
be given It's Just dues, as il must event
ually, It will have to be through the
Republican party. Silver men within
the party, of the Senator Wocott
kind, would have great influence at
this time for international free coin
age toward which Europe is surely
treuding.
How silver would have come any
closer to "full recognition" through
the instrumentality of a rarty pledged
to the existing gold standard" it is
difficult to conceive. Neither can any
one conceive cause for the assertion
that the democratic party is proving
traitor TO silver" On the contrary
every day more fully shows the devo-
ton Of our party to that great orinci-
pie. The reference TO Senator VOL.
colt is rather ill-timed. for the only
service the record shows he has ever
rendered to the cause of blmetallism
is to help spend the money appropri-
ated by Republican Congress in a
'junketing trip TO Europe, where his
entire work consisted in having good
time hobnobbing with European gold
bugs. The browning Inconsistency OF
the entire article quoted lies in the
fact that that alleged guide to morality
devotes nearly every issue to slurs
against "silver fanatics" and renewed
pledges OF allegiance TO the gold stand
ard.

WHAT FoRq

The Utah State Journal reproaches
us for our statement that there is only
one Republican party, and continues
TO assertits allegiance TO the "Silver
Republican, party. In the first place
we may say that the Journal has so far
given no reason for its alleged faith
except that II desires the reelection
OF Senator Frank j, Cannon, and we
must say thst we fail to see any rea-
sonable reason for political party for
that one purpose. la the second place
the Journal admits that the Republic
can party is irrelnevably welded TO
the gold standard and that the Demo
cratlcpariy Is the only bimetallc party.
10 tie third place the Journal over
looks the important fact that every

WHAT WE WILL DO.

The Salt Lake Tribune now begs the
question by asking what does the
Herald expect to accomplish in the
way of silver legislation during the
term of the next CongressS" AS the
Herald to certain extent represents
he Democratic party, the question
might as well be what does the Dem
cratic party expect to accomplish in
the way of silver legislation during
the term Of the next Congrcss?" The
question would indicate that the Tri-
bune recognizes the fact that McKin-
ley and Reed will not permit any silver
legislation during the next Congress IL
they can help 1t, and consequently ar
CUES that the people ought to stand In
with the gold.bug gang ard prevent any
FROM being proposed. We will tell
you what the Democratic party will do
in the next Congress. 1t will keep the
question OF necessary reforms con-
tinunlly before the people and will
keep the Peoples cause continually
alive until 1900 even II it does not
effect the legislation. In any case the
Democratic party will no ignomnious-
ly follow the lead of the Tribune and
help the cause of our enemies and the
enemies of the people to suppress the
very ideas and principles of freedom.

MR.. ROBERTS AND e-HouR LAW


In reply TO a number of inquiries by
subscribers IN regard to the position OF
Hon. b. II. Roberts on the "eight-
hour" article in the constitution, we
can say that Mr.. Roberts never OPP
posed an eight-hour law. What he
did do was to hold that such "a matter
of legislation was not in its proper
place in the State constitution, but
should be left to the State Legislature,
the constitution making proper pro.
vision for such legislation. Many of
the most prominent members of the
convention held with him, and we see
no reason for believing that he was not
right. The following amendment to
the labor article was introduced by
Delegate Thos. Kearns and received
the vote of Mr.. Roberts:
Eight hours shall constitute days
work on all works or undertakings car
RED on or aided by the State, county
or municipal governments; and the
Legislature shall pass laws TO provide
for the health and safety OF employees
In factories, smeters and mines.
This hardly looks as though Mr..
Roberts was opposed to the eight-hour
law or any other measure for the relief
and protection of laboring men. The
only question with HIM was the adyls-
ability of numbering the State consti-
tuition with legislation.

yer state has endorsed the policy Of
President Mckinley which must mean
the endorsem ent of his financial policy.
We can only ask the Journal, " it Is
honest, why does it pursue a policy Of
action, which If successful cannot but
be at least quasi endorsement of the
st. Louis platform and goldbuggism.

HARTMAN wlTHDRAws.


Chas S. Hartman, fusion candidate
for Congress from Montana, nomlna-
ted by the Silver Republicans and
Popullsts, has Withdrawn in favor Of
Hon. A. J. Campbell. regular Demo-
cratic nominee. Mr.. Hartman In his
letter of withdrawal details the course
of political events leading up TO the
convention Of the three parties at
Anaconda and states that. rather than
imperil the election OF silver man to
Congress and silver candidates ~ the
State Legislature, he takes this action
to insure only one silver ticket in the
field. He also offers his services to
Mr. Campbell and the Democratic
committee TO stump Montana during
the campaign. This action Of Mr..
Hartman is the outcome OF letter
addressed by him several days ago
to Mr.. Campbell in regard to one
withdrawing In favor of the other.
Mr.. Campbell, being the regular nomi.
nee OF the Democrats, the only true
silver party naturally declined, and
Mr.. Hartman's devotion TO The cause
being true and earnest, takes the only
course possible for him and withdraws.
The action of Mr.. Hartman is gem
erous and shows his devotion for the
cause In which he lahors. We wish some
OF our Utah politicians were willing
to forego self in the interest Of such
great and noble cause

the abilities OF Bill Glassman of the
Ogden Standard as an editorial writer
on the silver question. The Enquirer
should remember That the Standard is
forced to sraddle on both sides of the
silver question in order to keep up with
tho Inconsistent Utah Republican
platform and that its arguments must
be spec.ous.
