SENATOR CARTER FAVORS
FUSION.


The Herald has insisted all along
that the result of fusion in Utah would
be bad so far as it's effect upon the
Democracy is concerned. This is the
opinion of Democrats generally. though
| there are a few who think differently.
To these few the views of Senator Car
ter Of Montana on fusion are COM
mended for careful consideration. They
are taken from an interview with the
senator, that appeared in the Billings
Gazette. He says, in part:
1t is we'll; yes, indeed, better that
all those who are opposed to the pres
ent national administration should
! fuse Fusion will liberate from ancient
party ties many Democrats who seek
but preteXt to abandon the policies
of negation and stagnation for which
| that party has stood. The fusionists
cannot, in the nature of things, rep
1 resent anything in particular except
opposition to the present administra-
ton of the government The fusionists
viii be stronger the day they fuse than
| they will ever De thereafter They will
exist but shrivel up and blow away
leaving the Democratic party in its US
ual minority place, somewhat diSfig
ured after being again run over by the
wheels of progress and injured by fu-
sion debris. But the Democracy will
crawl out from the wreck some so or
40 years hence, to approve of what has
been done in the meantime and the
political situation. as it now presents
itself. affords a splendid opportunity
for the reuniting of the two wings of
the Republican party.
The man who favors fusion cannot
be very strong Democrat, cannot at
tach any great Importance to the prin-
ciples of Democracy.
In Utah fusion would represent
nothing but bipartisan or bipartisan
division of offices, and each day it be-
comes palmer and palmer that the cry
of principle" is more. cry than any
thing else. If the fusionists spell it
principal then this criticism does not
apply.
Senator Carter says the fusionists
will be stronger the day they fuse than
they viii ever be thereafter. That is
true. Being a heterogeneous mass with
no affinities fusion party would begin
to disintegrate from the moment it was
formed, and it would have to be new
hoped each day. And as Senator Car
ter says. the fusionists would shrivel
up and blow away, leaving the Demo-
cratic party in the minority. In all
human probability that would be pre-
cisely the effect of fusion on the Dem
ocratic party
Every Democrat in Utah knows full
well that those who are most urgent
for fusion have not the remotest in
terest in the world in the success of the
Democratic party or its principles. BY
fusion they have everything to gain
but nothing to lose; it is the very re-
verse with the Democratic party No
one will pretend that Senator Carter is
a well-wisher of Democracy, that he is
anything else than its open and avowed
enemy, seeking its destruction at all
points and at all times. And Senator
Carter hopes the Democrats will fuse.
Why? Because he sees in fusion a
sowing of the seeds of destruction for
Democracy.

THE SALT LAKE HERALD: MONDAY. AUGUST !. 1855

Objectionable to those who have the
money to put out.
According to that argument, the
lender has every right and the borrow
er none; the lender has the sole power
to make the terms, toy fix the rate OF
interest, time amount, and every item
of the contract If there were only one
money lender in the world, he might
manage TO be as arbitrary as the News
suggests. If there were no bankers but
those with whom the News seems to
be in touch, its rule would doubtless
apply But there are others, and the
city is entitled to the very best terms
it can get, rather than be compelled TO
accept in toto those dictated by the
hackers of the non-partisan move
ment
AS long as there are several who
have the money to put out" even as
long as agents of the city have reason
to believe there are several such, 1t is
the privilege of those agents or repre-
sentatives of the city to make the most
favorable contract for the city and ask
who will take those bonds.
Were the advice of the News follow
ed, city councilmen would consent to
every exaction of the lenders, would re-
fuse to negotiate for concessions, and
would go into the market to bid for a
loan only on terms known to be salts
factory to some particular lender or
clique of lenders.
The experience of the state loan
agents has probably taught them
something, and there is at least one les
son in it for the News.

TALES OF THE DAY.
General Wheeler,s Paroles.

Major George F. Barnes relates an in.
teresting story anent General Joe Wheel
er, now in Cuba. During the late wal
Major Barnes was a major in the federal
army, and General Wheeler was lieuten-
ant general in the confederate service.
At the surrender of Athens, says the
New York Sun, Lieutenant General
Wheeler was in the forces that surren-
dered, and desired TO get over and join
some other confederate forces. He and
several of his staff wrote out paroles and
started toward the other camp. Major
Barnes had his scouts out, and they met
Wheeler and his men in the road and
halted them. Wheeler said he was paroled
and produced a parole in the name OF
Lieutenant Sharpe"
The sergeant in charge of the scouting
party read the papers and said:
These papers are not right.
You seem to doubt my Veracity." said
Wheeler, feigning great indignation.
We'll" replied the sergeant. Il hap
pened to be your prisoner two weeks ago,
General Wheeler, and know you. You
treated me pretty nice, too, and I'm going
to treat you nice. You'll have 10 go with
me to headquarters.
They brought him and his staff before
me-" said Major Barnes, in relating the
incident, and Wheeler laughed heartily
at his failure. He was a small man, with
red hair and big freckles on his face. and
you could see the daredevil in him from
his chin to his scalp. 1 afterward wrote
him a parole"
