THAT FUSION ADDRESS.

The address of the silver Democrats
of Ogden appears on the sixteenth page
of the Tribune this morning. 1t is
able and strong; so much so that it
will be impossible for the anti-silver
Democrats to answer it. They are put
in the wrong, and irretrievably so put,
both as regards silver and as a party
policy. The address sounds the Water
loo of the irreconcilables.-The Trib
une.
We read that address. which is a
long drawn out rehash of pleas in ia
vor of fusion, but we never knew it was
issued by silver Democrats; we were
under the impression the gentlemen
We're fusion" Democrats, for all DEM
ocrats are silver men, the chief plank
in the Chicago platform being the
financial one.
That address is a plea for fusion, and
nothing more. But just as this address
is put forth the great silver Republic
can party in Utah fades away, be-
comes thin air. The reason is that it
was such stuff as dreams are made of.
Why did the silver Republicans dis
band at the very moment this address
was to be issued? The members of
that party professed to be more devot-
ed to silver than anybody else in all
the world: it was to be for all who
are devoted to the silver cause pillar
of fire by night and a cloud by day; but
the fire has been extinguished. the
cloud dissipated. Why did the silver
Republican party close its headquar-
ters, shut up shop, go out of business
at the time when the 'irreconcilables'
! or anti-fusionists were on the point of
meeting their Waterloo? If the sue
cess of the silver cause depends on
fusion. as this address says, then why
did the silver Republicans dissolve
their party organization, thereby max
ing fusion impossible? The silver Re
publicans left all who favored fusion,
including the signers of this address,
in the lurch, left them to flock by
themselves.
If the ''irreconcilables" have met a
Waterloo in this fusion address, what
on earth was it that the silver Repub-
licans met that scattered them to the
four winds of heaven?
The ''irreconcilables,' as our contem-
porary terms those Democrats who are
opposed to fusion, are filled with joy,
for they and everyone else knows that
the disarmament of the silver Republi-
can party in Utah means that fusion
or cooperation is knocked higher
than Gilderoy's kite.
Under the circumstances the issuance
of this address is about as ill-timed as
it could possibly be.

THEY BELIEVE IN SILVER.

A 'silver Republican" who neglected
to send in his name as can evidence OF
good faith" makes a statement to which
attention is called for the reason that
it shows how an honest silverite NAV
be misled by the county call signed by
Arthur L. Thomas, chairman" and
George A. Smith. secretary"
The correspondent says:
Under the terms of the call of the
Salt Lake county committee, no one
who endorses the st. Louis platform is
entitled 10 take any part in the Re
publican primaries or county conven-
ton whatever. The call specifically
makes the belief in free coinage of sill
yer the basis of taking part in this
convention or the primaries"
Such innocence is amazing The
more so because it IS evidently sincere.
Where could anyone get the idea that
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-08-15
AN EVASIVE ANSWER.

The Ogden Standard insinuated the
other day that the Republican who re-
fuses to believe in the doctrine of tar
if protection is a traitor to his party,
his political household, or words to that
effect.
Now, the Republican party is pledged
to the single gold standard as en-
phatically and unequivocally as it is
pledged to protection"
These are the two chief tenets of the
Republican faith today. The national
organization of the party stands for
both. The National League of Repub-
lican clubs, of which the editor of our
Ogden contemporary is an honored Off
Ger, is even more pronounced for gold
than for a high tariff.
If, therefore, a man who refuses to
endorse a protective tariff is a traitor
to the Republican party, as the Stand
ard intimates, why should not the one
who refuses to endorse that other Re
publican principle. a gold standard, lie
under the same charge?
The Herald asked this question once
before, but the Standard found some
excuse in the wording of it to bubble
and make an evasive answer.
1t said: 1T is impossible to be a
traitor to a principle you do not be-
Iieve in" That applies to the man who
does not believe in protection" as
we'll as to the one who does not be-
lieve in the single standard; and to the
one who lately came into his belief, as
we'll as to the other who always held a
conviction.
There is no desire to word the ques-
ton ingeniously' to furnish an excuse
for evaSive answers.

mas letter, but it will not be the last.
Others had taken the same course be-
fore Mr.. Hanna virtually read them
out OF the Republican party. The So
called silver Republicans should now
cease their efforts to organize a party
that will be Democratic in one thing
and Republican in all others. The
proper place for those who believe sill
yer the paramount issue is in the ranks
of the Democratic party The proper
place for those who believe silver is not
the paramount issue is with the Re
publican party.
That hits the nail squarely on the
head. The place for those who believe
in the free, unlimited and Independent
coinage of silver is in the Democratic
party. Those who are not willing to
stand by silver through thick and thin
should be in the Republican party.

TALES OF THE DAY.
Hook As a Upper.

It required a man such as Theodore
Hook to cope successfully with the rapa-
city of the gentlemen of the hall, in con-
tradistinction TO the road, and on one oc-
casion, at all events. he proved himself
equal 10 the task. 1t is related that once
when dining out he. before the entertain
ment came off, provided himself with sew
eral bright farthings from the mint, and
that, when proceeding. after the festivi-
ties. to his carriage he discovered several
servants. including the cook. awaiting
him in the hall. he forthwith slipped a
coin into the hand of the latter. The
man. glancing at it. noticed the size and
bowed low in thanks. under the impress
sion that he was sovereign the richer.
while Theodore, dispensing largesse of a
like nature to the other servants. went on
his way rejoicing. nor did he cease doing
so when, as he stepped into his carriage:
one of the footmen. who had discovered
the real value of the pour boire. ran out,
saying: Sir, think you have made a
mistaken Not at all, my good man.

1t did not take Mr.. Keith long to rec

can party, but who believed the free
coinage of silver the paramount issue
before the country. He showed he was
more devoted to the cause of silver
than he was to the name of a party
