THE cordial feeling now happily ex-
isting between the North and the South,
prompts this gracious act, and il it need
cd further justification it is found in the
gallant loyalty to the Union and the
flag, so conspicuousy shown in the year
lust passed, by the sons and grandsons

"What a glorious future awaits us, If
unitedly, wisely and bravely we face the
new problems now pressing upon us, de-
termined to solve them for right and
humanity"
No sooner had President Mckinley
concl lded than there were loud cries for
Wheeler, and when that little man got
up, his head scarcely higher than the
Speakers desk, the audience once more
gave vent to wild enthusiasm. General
Wheeler referred eulogistically to the eff
forts of the President towards preserving
peace as long as the country's honor
would permit such efforts and of his mas
terful policy after war was inevitable.
General Wheeler paid tribute to Ad-
miral Dewey and added:
THE army in conjunction with the
navy was ordered to attack and destroy
the Spanish forces at Santiago. In four
weeks that order was obeyed and its
purposes accomplished. The proud
Spanish nation stood suing for peace
from the nation which a month before it
had held up to ridicule and scorn."
Calls for Brigadier General Young

short speech regarding the conditions of
the army camps in the South. He said
that no troops in the world were better.

AS to the sectionalism OF the ques.
ton, we believe, and the Tribune used
20 so believe, that the West IS no more
interested in the question than the
East. We believe the Eastern agri-
culturlst is as vitality concerned as Is
the Western mine owner. We believe
the Eastern wage Garner is as yitally
interested as is the silver and gold
miner. 1t is a question of National
economies 1t is question OF the
peoples money as against concen-
trated wealth and plutocraey. We
care not what may be mans condi-
ton in life; we care not whether he is
rich or poor; we care not what his oc.
cupation may be, upon the proper
solution of this question more than
any other depends his well being. We
therefore reiterate that there Is aud
should be nothing sectional about the
silver question. 1t Is National ques-
tiUn, and one upon which depends our
National prosperity. We regret that
conditions Of the Tribune have COM
PEELED 1t TO revise its judgment(P) and

ENQUIRER AND OUR TICKET.

According to the Provo Enquirer the
Democratic county ticket nominated
last Wednesday is the best possible one
that could be placed in the fed, and a
close reading between the lines does
not develop any ObjectloE except that
our ticket is not composed of Republi-
cans. At the commencement Of the
Enquirer's criticism Of our ticket that
sheet says:
$50 far as we know, the candidates
on the ticket are about an average Of
the Democratic oflice-seekers Of the
county, and will do about as well us
the former Democratic administra.
tons"
Later in the same article the En-
quirer refers to different candidates in
terms such as follows: THE best
man." "very popular" liable oflicers,'
efficient servants of the public, p"
painstaking, good records" "the
best" "have gained the confidence OF
the people of the county during their
last term" and "has made an excep-
tonal record" Evidently the Enquirer
man was at loss to say anything de-
rogatory as to the Democratic ticket
aud tried to make the best OF bad job
for the Republicans. The worst criti.
cism against any candidate is that he
is politician. Well, the Enquirer
man has tried for many years to be a
politician, and because he has failed Is
only the fault of his natural abilities
The Enquirer winds up by saying that
the Republicans, "lf careful, ""may bs
able" to do something this campaign
thus admitting the well known fact
that the Democrats have both the
votes and the best available candidates
We are much pleased at the stand a
the Republican county organ and
would respectfully recommend that 10
the canvass this fall the Democratic
candidates use the Enquirer OF Thurs
day as their star campaign literature

NO CHURCH AND STATE.

1t Is reported that the adherents Of

ton should be attempted TO be in
Quoted into our State politics. That
question was disposed OF three years
ago when the Mormon church aud the
anti.Mormon people cast aside their
differences occasloned by religious be-
lief and agreed TO bs one people. There
exists no reason why politics In Utah
should not be as pure and as free from
ecclesiastical interference as the poll.

believed since the mutual pledge re-

Is traitor TO the State and TO the peo-
pie. We do not wish TO charge Hon.
b. IL. Roberts with this report OF

the reports are garbled and untrue,
Were they true they would first of all

that silver Is not sectional question.
Now that II has been compelled to re.
wise Its opinions Is no reason why
others must do likewise. The Tribune
says that the Democratic party in some
States is not endorsing the silver ques,

attempts to show that the Democratic
party Is no more OF a silver party than
the Republican party. Now what is
the truth. In every State Democratic
convention where platform was
