DEMOCRACY IN NATION STANDS
FOR CHICAGO PLATFORM.

All Of the so-called silver Republic
can" papers in the State for some time
have been alleging that the Democratic
party in the West only is unfolding,
with other principles OF Democracy,
the cause OF the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver. None Of these So
called silver Republican" papers have
dared to allege that Democracy all
over the patton does not stand for every
other principle OF the Chicago platform,
but attempt to make the silver plank
the bugaboo. In the past il has several
times been our pleasure, in our
poor way, to show that Democ-
racy all over the United States
stands for the Democratic National
platform, silver and all else. The con-
tention we have made is borne out by
the result OF all the State cor ventions
of the Democratic party, East and
West. and now comes the crownl ng
proof Of our contentious; the Demo-
cratic party of New York according TO
Sundays dispatches proposes to stand
sluarely on our platform, silver and
all. Will any OF our ultra Republican,
i'silver" men now contend that the
Chicago platform is not the essence of
Democracy Democrats are Democrats
and stand by their platform, which
means bimetalism and all other OF the
grand principles enuncated In the Chi
cago platform; Republicans are Re-
publicans, whether East or West,
whether they insist on the "silver" pre-.

ROBERTS AND WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The Enquirer recommends TO other
Republican organs that they fight b,
II. Roberts son straight Democratic
grounds" yet the only argument IL has
so far advanced against our candidate
is that he opposed woman suffrage 10
the Constitutional convention. Isn't
that rather far-fetched Democratic
grounds" considering the fact that
woman suffrage was not at that time 4
political issue between the parties and
that, with the one exception OF Mr..
Roberts, all the oppoqents of the prin-
cple were Republicans. During the
campaign succeeding the Constitsi
tional convention woman suffrage was
made doctrine Of Utah Democracy,
and Mr. Roberts accepted and en-
dorsed the platform and did loyal
work tor the adoption Of the Constltu-
ton. He has ever since stood and
does now stand on the platform of the
Democratic party OF Utah, among the
fundamental principles of which is the
doctrine Of woman suffrage. Roberts
Is the candidate Of the Democratic
party, he is champion of all that
Democracy in Utah represents, and he
will receive the votes Of all loyal
Democratic women in the State.

THE ENQUIRER AND CLEVELAND.

The American Fork World reminds
us Of the following reminiscent QUOTA
ton from the Provo Enquirer which is
interesting to that paper and its read
ers:
"Cleveland will be the next presi-
dent of the United States. There can
be no question Srbout that. His
speeches have the right Kind Of ring
to tickle the ears Of the populace. lie
tells some sound truths that cannot be
refuted. Hill may win New York over,
SO that they will go solidly to the Ma
tional convention In bis favor but
Cleveland has won the Democrats of
the entire nation. Grover Is the man.
It's mighty good thing that this
matter Is settled. Provo Enquirer,
January. 1884,"
The Enquirer now sometimes talks
grandly about the glories of the Repub-
lican party and sometimes calls the
Democratic party the party OF Cleve-
land" yet as will be seen In the above
quotation tho Enquirer and the Re-
publican party now stand where Cleve-
land did in 1891. The Democratic
party has advanced with the times and
brought itself up to the needs of the
people. while on the contrary the Re
publican party has refrigerated. Thu

THE local administration organ is now
alleging Democratic extravaganza In
Utah county as a reason why the party
Of Hanna should elect the county tick
ct this fall. Yet In former issue the
Enquirer warmly commended the pre-
sent efficient Democratic board OF
county commissioners which has had
charge Of all appropriations aud dis
bursements. The editor OF that sheet
should occasionally scan his own files
so as 10 prevent such contradictions,
As to the charge OF extravaganza, it is
