The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-07-23

Nebraska has furnished three full reg
swered both calls. has all her men
where the commander-in-ch chief has or
dered them, and still the Philadelphia
goidbug growls.
Not one regiment has moved without
orders. Not enc has been, or will be al
lowed to do so. The Times ought TO
know as much. 1t does know it. But,
in the narrowness of its microscopic
mind. it says:
There has been column after column
of newspaper dispatches sent out about
the Bran regiment, but even Dewey
victory ard the need of troops 10 ald
in the capture OF Santiago did not seem
TO hurry Colonel Bryan in getting ms
men TO the front.
This shameful exhibition of petty
meanness and malignant misrepresen-
tation has been going on in the col
unlrs of administration organs week
after week. They overlook the coward
ice of the goldbug colonel from New
York, who refused to charge at Ell
Caney and opened his ranks for the
Twenty-fourth infantry to pass
through. while his own men cried IN
very shame; they fill their columns with
praise of the millionaire appointees;
they see no objection to anything east
ern, or TO any officer recommended by
the great briber at the head of the Re-
publican party, but they demand that
Nebraska get her second quota in the
field in advance of other states, ana
that Colonel Bryan shall march them
ITO the front without orders.
The Times questions the colonets
motive in not acting Independently OF
the war department, and says fur
t..e=:
Now, however. when the fighting
seems to be about over, we have the
Bryan regiment again painting TO go
to the field of battle, and enllvenlng
the newspapers of the country by the
exuberant patriotism and frettlng cour-
age of the Bryan warriors.
If Bryans regiment never gets to
the front, never is sent to Cuba, VINO
will be responsible for it? That the
Utah cavalry is not allowed to so to
the Philippines is certainly no fault of
the men or officers. But the logic OF
the goldbug press would hold them ac-
countable and insinuate against their
patriotism because they are ordered
to the forest parks of California. For
the Times says, in conclusion:
The whole movement of the organlza-
ton of the Bryan regiment has been
only an exhibition Of the most blatant
demagogism. and it is now safe to as
sumo that, whether the war shall be
halted now or hereafter, there Will be
little blood shed for the flag by the
Bryan regiment of Nebraska.
Could anything be palmer than the
hatred of goldbug organs and leaders
towards the men of the west, and par
ticularly those of the so-called silver
states? It is not Bryan they hate, SO
much as it is the cause of silver. Ac-
cording to the prominence he has at
tanned in the movement, each friend
of silver coinage is despised just as
bitterly as Bryan is and under SINH
lar circumstances would be treated just
the same.
People may draw their own conclu-
sions. Such feeling, such unreasoning
animosity is never shown by men simp-
Nv looking after the public welfare; 1t
is not human nature. When malice
shows in every word, and murder
makes a boiling cauldron of the heart,
men fight from baser motives, for prf-
waite gain, for individual aggrandize-
meat.
1t is this that makes the Hanna party
so vindictive in its war upon free coin
age. The robber disturbed in his crime
will shoot to kill. And the plunderers
of a people will try in every way to RID
themselves of all who seek to expose
the fraud through which favored Few
are cornering the circulating medium
