TIE SALT LAKE HERALD: THURSDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1898

especially vigorous in applauding all
references to the need of keeping the
money of the United States as good as
any money in the world" Congressman
Barney said the money question was
an issue IN this campaign, that it was
the predominant issue. oyershadowing
questions in regard to local and state
government" The Sentinel account
continues:
''As an evidence of the Importance in
which the Democratic party held the
silver question this fall, Mr.. Barney
cited the case of Judge Sawyer, the
nominee for governor, who had been
forced to declare and have his neigh
bors affirm his allegiance to the Chi
cago platform when his defeat in the
convention was threatened by a report
that ne had been a gold Democrat in
1896. re also alluded to the case of
John T. Kingston, who had been turned
down by the Democratic delegates be-
cause he had voted for Palmer and
Buckner. Those were conclusive proofs.
Mr. Barney said, that the Democracy
was still flirting with and tagging after
the petticoats of the Chicago conven-
ton. In conclusion, Mr.. Barney spoke
briefly in regard to state and county
affairs. But he charged his hearers
not to be hoodwinked by the cry of
state issues. If Sawyer were elected
it would be heralded abroad that Wis
consin had reoudiated the administra-
ton of President Mckinley and had
given its vote for William ]. Bryan and
free silver. State issues were over
whelmed by the great national issue.
which was as much at stake in this
campaign as it was in the campaign
two years ago. The administration of
the president must be UPHELD. and this
result could be accomplished only by
the election of the entire ticket in Wis
consin.''
Our Republican friends should ex-
plain to the people of Utah why the
silver question cuts no figure in the
in this state when it is the
great issue in all the other states.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-10-13

they all have the main object in view,
just as the New York Evening Post has
it.
The St Louis Globe-Democrat urges
the greatest activity among Republic
ans everywhere, as important measures
are coming up, and ityery sagely re-
marks that 'the stronger the Repub-
lican majority is in the congress which
is to be elected a few weeks hence, the
feebler Will be the silver talk"
Republicans desire to defeat B. H.
Roberts. no matter what the means. in
order that Alma Eldredge may go to
Washington to cast his vote for the
single gold standard, currency reform
and all the other policies ably put
forth and advocated by President Nc
Kinley," and for Tom Reed for speaker.
The Republican organ of this city is
old enough to know that the Chicago
Times-Herald is right when it says:
The silver battle must be fought
over again, and every man who be-
lieveS in honest money, who would
maintain the nations honor, and who
desires to see the principles OF none
tary reform fixed in the statutes must
turn out and become fighter. Every
congressional district is now field
of battle, and no effort must be spared,
no stone left unturned, to win the light
for sound money and currency reform.
The victory should be so decisive that
free silver and its delusive and lying
promises will be crushed forever.
For the Times-Herald hates like sin
to make such admission. 1t has been
saying for months that silver is dead.
At last it realizes that the issue is very
much alive; in fact, that it is the para
mount issue before the people in this
campaign.

A QUESTION OF JURISDICTION


Every state will attend to its own
affairs, viii judge of the qualifications
of its own electors, will pass upon the
eligibility to office of its own citizens.
| With these matters the general gov
eminent will not interfere SO all the
| space that our Republican contempo-
! rary is devoting TO federal statutes and
proclamations issued before Utah be-
came a state, is space wasted; and all
the time that our Republican friends
employ in questioning the eligibility of
B. II. Roberts to any Office within the
gift of the people of Utah, is time lost
The case of Hon. George @. Cannon is
cited as one in point, to show that con-
| gress has been known to throw out a
member of the Mormon church and a
polysamist on moral grounds. The rec
ords show that Mr.. Cannon was re-
fused his seat on account of some ir-
regularity in his naturalization papers,
and for the all important reason that
he had no certificate of election. And
although his opponent had the certifi-
cate and the credentials, the seat was
left vacant until the next election.
1t may be that under t. first am
nesty proclamation Mr.. Roberts and
scores of other citizens of Utah were
not pardoned. But there is nothing to
show that he was not included in the
Cleveland proclamation quoted by our
contemporary. For, while the former
imposed as a condition of the amnesty
that they shall in future faithfully
obey the laws of the United States
hereinbefore named, and not other
wise, the latter, issued September %,
1894. granted full amnesty and par
dom to all excepting persons as have
not complied with the conditions con-
tanned in the said executive proclama-
ton Of January 4, 1S93.'
AS there is nothing in the Tribune's
contention from a legal point of view,
reference to the wording of the two
proclamations is made merely for the
sake of argument. One imposed an OBJ
legation for the future, while the other
pardoned all who, up to September %,
1894, had not violated the conditions
named in the previous proclamation. q!
But there is no need of discussing
this phase of the question now. Utah
is a state; and President Mckinley has
permitted the appointment of polygam-
lists, living in polygamy. to federal po-
sitions in this state, and in the face of
protests similar to those being made
by the Republican organ today.
The question naturally arises: Since
the Republican administration has seen
fit to ignore such complaints, since the
Republican organ has winked at the
selection for important positions, of
men against whom the same charges
could have been properly made, since it
is running a ticket at present, open to
all the objections it has raised, what
can it hope to accomplish by its course,
except possibly, a national agitation of
old issues? Are we to conclude that
men are only culpable when nominated
in a Democratic convention? That the
same men on a Republican ticket would |
be all right? That the personal wishes |
of a political dictator are to be con-
suited by both parties and that no man |
Objectionable to him shall be allowed |
to run for office?

REPUBLICANS ALARMED.


Republicans are becoming alarmed
at the congressional outlook Before
the war they were hopeful. During the
war they were extremely confident
Since the war they are discouraged
In the language of the New York Even
ing Post, whose daily supDlication is
for the election of "a Republican con-
gresham in every district of the Unit
| ed States" there is grave danger that
the dissatisfaction growing out of the
acknowledgement of the war depart
ment, the sufferings of the soldiers,
and the growing belief that the war it
self was unnecessary, may cause the
Republicans to lose control of the house
in the next congress.
The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser, another hide-bound Republican,
shifts danger in the air, and makes a
| frantic appeal to members of its party
| to Tool. TO the house" 1t says:
The Republican majority in the pres
ent house of representatives, it should
be remembered, is only about 40, and
Republican apathy like that in YER
mont and Maine in about a score of
congressional districts out of a total of
1884, would give the next house of rep
resentatives TO the free silver party
Such a calamity can be averted by hard
and systematic Republican work dur
ing the rest of the campaign, just as
ii was in 1896.
There is cause for alarm. The Re-
Dublicans Of Utah will have to buckle
down to work a little harder, and their
organ will have to resurrect a better
grade of ancient history than it has
produced so far. if they succeed in
sending a vote for the car to Wash
ington.
The New York Tribune takes this
view of the situation:
Is there any danger? We say frankly,
yes. Unless the supporters of the ad
ministration throughout the country
bestir themselves and work from this
time until the night of election day as
they have not worked before in the
last ten years, there is grave danger
that their representatives will not be in
the majority in the next congress, ana
that the senate will be controlled py
coalition opposed to the administration
and sound money. This is the plain
truth. and il may better be told now
than when = is too late. This is 10
time for factional fights in the i:cpub-
.ican party; no time to indulge the pas
sion of jealousy; no time for side issues
Of any sort. The enemies of the adj
ministration are going into the fight
determined to win.
Utah Republicans should keep in
mind these warnings. The present in
Jications are that the next house win
be pretty close. Everything in The in
terest of Reoublicanism depends on
having a majority there pledged to all
of "NIcKinley's policies"

OUR LITTLE DIFFERENCES.

At every town at which the president
stopped a few minutes while en- route to
Omaha he made some remarks. One
spoke of the war, saying, among other
things, that I'VE want to continue to
act together until the fruits of our
war shall be embodied in solemn and
permanent settlements. We want no
differences at home. until we have set
tied our differences abroad. When
that is all done. we can have our little
differences among ourselves
The country will stand at the back
of the president in his dealings with
Spain or any other foreign govern
ment, and there will be no Democrats,
no Republicans. no Populists when
dealing with them; there will only be
Americans. The country is as united
in it's determination to reap the legiti-
mate fruits of our war with Spain as
it was when it said there should be war
with Spain.
But the president says we want no
differences al home until our differ
ences abroad are settled; that when
this is done we can have them. A very
fine sentiment, indeed. If there are to
be no differences at home until all DIFF
ferences abroad are settled, some ones
differences must be buried. Whose
shall be buried? Will the president
cease for one instant to urge upon
congress, when it meets, the enactment
into laws of his policies on all ques-
tions? When congress meets in Decem-
Der will he in his annual message urge
that all political differences on domes-
tic questions be laid aside, that no
legislation calculated to carry out do
nestle policies on which Democrats
and Republicans differ be undertaken?
He will do nothing of the kind. Will
he say to the silver men: Il shall re-
fuse to make any recommendations
looking to the strengthening of the ex-
listing gold standard, for the reason
that we want no differences at home
until we have settled our differences
When the president says
that every Democrat and silver man in
the country will cry with him: 1--WE
WANT no ullleTSilCSS dl uOuit uulll we
have settled our differences abroad"
The Republicans are making great eff
forts to make political capital out of
the war, and in doing so they are con-
stantly appealing to the patriotism of
the people, endeavoring to turn their
devotion to country to their own ad-
vantage. Thus Colonel Roosevelt is
telling the people of New York that
the defeat of the Republican party this
fall would mean a Reputation of the
war and its results. The war was not
4 party war, and it cannot be turned
INTO one. No one party favored a dec
aration of war more than another;
they all favored it, and they all glory
and share in it's results. But to ap-
prove the war it is not necessary to
approve Algerism.
Intended or not, the president, in his
Clinton address. made a very shrewd
plea for endorsement of the Republi- |
IAN party and free hand for it in the
future. Differences on domestic poll
lies will not be laid aside; there is no
'eason why they should be-

The differences in Cache have been

1.-THE PREDOMINANT ISSUE"

sress, the Republican press and the
Republican speakers are telling the
people of Utah that the silver question
is not in issue this year: but thew are
not making the people believe what
they say in this respect. They might

silver question was not in issue in 1896
as to tell them it is not in issue in 1898

Utah this year. how comes it that it is
in issue in other states this year, that
it is considered the most important is

WANT ELDREDGE ELECTED.

The Republican organ is making a
hard fight for Alma Eldredge. And
no wonder Every goldbug newspaper
in the east is urging the election of a
Republican congress this fall. In order
TO complete the work begun by the st.
Louis convention it will be necessary to
obtain control of the next house. Those
policies of the president which have
not already been carried into effect will
have to be attended to, and it will mean
q great deal 10 Mr.. Mckinley to have
men elected who are pledged to all of
his policies.
