Surely no appeal in a nobler, more
humane cause was ever made than this.
To Americans such appeals have a pc
culiar force, recalling, as they do, the
trials and sorrows of some of the best
and earliest settlers in America. AS
this circular says, the case Of the
Doukhobortsi is peculiarly analogous
to that of the Quakers, but there is re-
ligious persecution in it, and that ever
awakens the sympathies of the Amer
lean people.
The appeal should meet with gen
erous response.

GOLDBUG GAINS.

While the Democrats have carried
the state, it is by a reduced plurality
The champions Of cree coinage are
elected on the state ticket, and the in
dfcations are that the next legislature
viii be safely Democratic, but the i'm
mense gain of the AIcKinleyites makes
it practically goldbug victory.
Two years ago it was not deemed
possible for a party pledged to Nc
Kinley's policies, for the regular Re
publican organization, in fact, to cap
ture so many alleged silver voters, to
make such inroads in this stronghold
of bimetallism.
Eastern goldbugs have reason to re-
joice over the progress they have made
in the silver state of Utah. It has
been hard fight from the beginning,
and there are two ways to account for
the apparent change of sentiment on
the part of the people.
In the first place, many Republicans
who resented the sale of the party in
1896 to the plutocrats Of the east have
recovered from their outburst of in
dignation to return to the old organ
izauon; their prejudice outWeighs the
principle to which they professed such
devotion, and they viii henceforth be
found with Hanna and his crowd.
In the second place, complications
have arisen in the state campaign
which have placed the Democratic
party at somewhat of a disadvantage.
The opposition has appealed to preju-
dice and made a personal fight, in
which the Republican candidate was
materially assisted by men who We're
not expected to endorse such campaign
methods.
But on the whole, the goldbugs have
a right to rejoice. 1t is their temporary
gain. But they cannot hold the van
tage they have won. Utah is naturally
for silver and will again roll up a
Democratic majority of $4,000.

SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER

When a political campaign is over,
the charges and counter charges made
during it are usually allowed to SUM
Der, for often they are not serious,
while they are generally exaggerated,
and so it is much better that they
slumber and die. But there are some
charges made in campaigns that should
never be forgotten, and their authors
should always be eXecrated.
During the campaign it was charged
by Republican speakers in this state
and throughout the whole country that
vote for the Democratic candidates
meant Reputation of the war and en-
couragement for Spain. 1t was a most
infamous charge, and only a man with
an Infamous heart would make it. 1t
was an impugning of the patriotism
of the Democrats.
The people of Utah take no stock in
such charges, for they know them to
be utterly false. When the president
issued his proclamation calling for vol
unteers. the young men of Utah re-
sponded to it, and more than the
states quota went to the war. All of
them were not in battle, but the ma
jority of them were, and their behavior
under fire was such as to receive the
highest commentator. Those Utah
boys We're Democrats and Republicans
at home and would have voted ac-
cording to their political convictions.
Would anyone but a traitor at heart
accuse any of these men of being
friends of Spain? The majority of the
people of Utah yesterday cast their
ballots for Democrats. Are these trail
tors, friends and supporters of Spain
Do the Republicans of Utah believe
they are?
Those who have made this charge
during the campaign should be remem-
bered by the people, and if ever they
are candidates for Office, let them be
treated according to their deserts,
which are defeat and ignominy.

HOW TO WORK FOR SILVER.

Election returns in Utah show that
the Republican who bolts cardinal
doctrine of his party while protesting
allegiance to the organization is not
well treated on the stump or at the
polls.
Men who left the Republican party
two years ago when it declared for the
gold standard, and who severed all
connection with the gold crowd. are
honored for their devotion to principle,
their courage and their independence.
But those who chung to the party OF
gold ard Dingleyism while repudiating
the leading principles thereof, who
bolted the convention but stuck to the
party. are treated as political outcasts,
even by the Republicans of the silver
state of Utah

of free coinage to do in 1896. and that
was to vote for Bryan. There vas only

APPEAL FOR THE OPPRESSED.

A committee, consisting of william
Dean Howells, New York; Jane Ad-
dams. Hull House, Chicago; William
Lloyd Garrison, Boston; George Dana
Boardman, D. D., Philadelphia; n. O..
Nelson, st. Louis; Bolton Hall, New
York, and Ernest H. Crosby, New
York, has addressed circular to the
leading newspapers, requesting their
assistance in raising a Tolstoy fund in
aid of the prosecuted Doukhobortsi in
Russia. The appeal of the committee
is as follows:
Count Leo Tolstoy, whose SEVENTEEN
birthday has recently been celebrated,
writes to a correspondent in this coun-
try, urging the raising of funds to aid
in the emigration of the oppressed
Doukhobortsi. These people-thrifty,
industrious farmers, some 10000 in
number-form a Protestant sect. whose
tenets resemble those of the Quakers
Their only offense is their refusal, from
conscientious scruples, to serve in the
Russian army. For this reason they
have been repeatedly exiled from one
part Of the empire to another, and so
prosecuted ana maltreated by the gov
eminent officials that their position in
their own country has become intoler-
able. With much difficulty they have
obtained permission TO emigrate to for
elgn lands, and steps have been taken
TO settle them, temporarily st least, in
the island Of Cyprus, but it is hoped
that they may eventually reach Amer
lea There is urgent need of funds to
enable them TO take advantage of the
privilege TO emigrate which has been
ACCORDED to them. A committee has al
ready been formed in London to raise
money Tor this purpose and the un-
oeIsigned nave been constituted a
committee to cooperate with tbem in
America. II seems appropriate that
such money as is collected should be

TO THE COMMITTEES.

Chairman Moyle and the Democratic
state committee deserve credit for the
clean and excellent campaign they have
made for the party.
No chairman ever worked more faith
fully for the success of a ticket; no
party was ever led by a more honest,
constant, earnest leader.
And the county chairman and COM
n1ittee certainly accomplished a great
work and performed their duties with
credit to themselves and party.
The Democratic fight was made on
principle and without resorting to per-
sonai abuse or the resurrection of old
issues. The style of campaigning pur-
sued by the Democrats is bound to
win the people in the end.
