WHAT WOULD MR.. ELDREDGE
DOP

The people of this state are more
interested in the silver question than
any other and hence the attitude of
congressional nominees towards that
question is most important.
The Republican nominee for repre-
sentative to congress, Mr.. Alma Ell
dredge, stands on platform that de-
clares for free silver and at the same
time endorses the Mckinley admins
tration, which is pledged to do al! in
its power to strengthen the gold stand
ard
If Mr.. Eldredge were elected, would
he stand by silver through thick and
thin, or would he stand by the admin
istration through thick and thin?
If he went into the Republican eau
cuses. would he abide by their decision
questions. or would he bolt them if the
decision was against silver?
These are most important questions,
ana the people expect Mr.. Eldredge to
answer them. If he does not answer
them, they will take his silence to mean
that he is either vacillating and with
out conviction, or that he contemplates
treachery to silver, should he be
elected.
1t will not do for Mr.. Eldredge to
say that the questions here asked will
be answered by him when they present
themselves at a future time They
must be answered now, that the people
may know, in the event of his election,
what will be his course when they do
arise, as they inevitably will. Speak
up, Mr.. Eldredge.

Reno Journal: The ancient Romans
had a divinity named Janus, who was
sometimes represented with two and
sometimes with four faces. 1t seems the
devotees of Mark Hanna have been
studying the theology and SuperStitions
of the ancients. and have come to the
conclusion that the people of the United
States in the latter part of the 18th CEN
fury are as easily duped as Were the
masses in ancient Rome. The Hannaites
have adopted Janus as their party deity
because of the facility he affords them
for deceiving the people.
The god of HannaiSm is placed upon a
revolving pedestal with his golden face
presented to the public. If a miner or
farmer objects to that hue the crank
is turned by. the hired attendants and a
silver face is exposed to the admiring
gaze of the duped bimetallist. The recent
conventions of Mr.. Hanna's party show
how the double faced divinity is be

conventions were held on the same day.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET.


Two years ago the affairs of Salt
Lake county passed under the control
of the Democratic party. They were
in anything but satisfactory condi-
ton. For years before expenditures
had been exceeding income, and debt
was piling up at a tremendous rate
County warrants were away below par,
and county employees who received
them were compelled to make heavy
sacrifices in selling them to specula-
tors. Not only was a great wrong done
them but a deep disgrace was put upon
the county. All that has been changed.
Now income covers expenditures and
there is no longer any hawking about
of county warrants; they are worth
their face value and are paid in cash
upon presentation. And how has all
this been brought about? Simply by
the application of purely business
methods to county affairs. The aim
of the commissioners was to give the
taxpayers of the county an honest and
economical administration of the coun-
tvs affairs. and this they have done.
Can the voters of the county do any
better than to re-elect the Democratic
county commissioners who have adj
ministered their affairs SO ably and
economically during the past two
years? The party thought the commits
sioners entitled to d denomination, and
the people will think them entitled to
q reelection. And the balance of the
Democratic ticket is as worthy of the
confidence of the people as are the
county commissioner nominees. To
elect the Democratic county ticket will
be no experiment, but the continuance
in office OF a tried and faithful party.

themselves, and not the denunciations
of the press. These denunciations,
which have come from Republican and
Democratic papers alike, have been but
the echo of public sentiment, and moth
| ing more.
All this will figure in the campaign,
and properly; but does anyone suppose
for q single moment that any party
rejoices that these things have existed
that political capital may be made out
of them? The New York Tribune, one
istration has, or can have. in as strong
a defense of it as it is able to make,
says:
We do not doubt that when the truth
is revealed, it will show that many
mistakes have been made; that some
officers of the army were incompetent
and too weak to carry the responsible
ties imposed on them by great and
sudden emergency; that other officers
were guilty of negligence and, perhaps,
of disobedience of orders; that some of
these officers were regulars and some
volunteers, some having command of
army corps, divisions, brigadeS. regi-
ments and companies, and some being
olncerS OF the general or regimental
stan in the quartermaSterS commits
sary and medical departments Mel
Their ought we to doubt that in some
cases officers will be able to show eX-
tenuating circumstances which it was
beyond their power to control.
That abuses have existed, and, per-
haps, still exist, however, and that I'M
necessary suffering among the officers
and men called into active service since
April has been the result, we are not
disposed to deny.
And who was responsible for the ap-
pointment of the incompetent officers
in the various departments but Russell
A. Alger and his superior, William Nc
Kinley? And the presidents investi-
eating committee will not be able to
shift the responsibility from their
shoulders, if it does it's work well and
honestly. 1t should first ascertain who
is responsible for the political appoint
ments to army posts, for there is the
start of the whole trouble.

THE REPUBLICAN FIGHT.

The Republican organ hopes to elect
Alma Eldredge and the Republican
ticket by its daily assaults upon B. H.
Roberts
Alma Eldredge and the other Repub-
lican candidates base their expecta-
lions of success upon the fight their
ofgan is making for them.
Judge Zane is understood to be be-
hind his party organ, and in hearty
accord with the style of campaign it
has adopted.
And John Henry Smith, who is gener-
ally conceded to he the choice of the
anti-Brown wing of reunited Repub-
bcanism for the United States senate,
humbly acquiesces in the warfare be-
ing waged upon Mr.. Roberts by the
Republican organ.
Messrs. Smith and EIdredge are
stamping the state together, and doubt
less reading the eloquent denuncia-
tions of the Democratic nominee for
congress which appear from time to
time in their party organ, in the news
paper which has endorsed the Repub-
lican ticket, which approves in Repub-
lican candidates that which it con-
dennis in Democratic candidates.
The rank hypocrisy of the whole Re
publican outfit in this campaign, from
double dealing in national issues to in
consistencies in local matters, is enough
to make the people of the state and ma
ton alike, suspicious of them.
When the Republican organ of Salt
Lake City and the Republican organ of
Ogden and John Henry Smith and Ar
thur Brown and Arthur Thomas and
Alma Eldredge get together on the sill
yer question and the Mormon question,
falls away below par.
