THE REPUBLICAN SLOGAN.

In his address as permanent chair
man of the Republican county conven-
ton, Ex-Governor Thomas said he was
glad to see a reunion of the Republican
forces in Utah. and that silver pro
lection and reciprocity are to be their
slogan. This may be the Republican
slogan. but how can this slogan and
the declaration of the Republican state
convention on silver be reconciled with
the declaration of the ST. LouisAor Re
publican national platform on silver?
The inconsistency of the two is appar-
ent to all. but the Utah Republicans
care no more for consistency than they
do Cor silver.
What the people of Utah will want
to know is how Mr.. Eldredge would
stand on the silver question should he
be elected to congress. They viii want
to know if he will go into the caucuses
of the Republican party, and il he
does, whether or no he will abide by
their decision. Those caucuses will
stand by the declaration of the st.
Louis convention on the silver ques-
ton and not on the declaration of the
Republican platform of Utah The field
of action of the representative TO con-
greSS and the United States senator
will be Washington and the halls of
congress and not Utah. How would
Mr.. Eldredge conduct himself in Wash
ington? The alternative of allying
himself with the silver men in congress
or the Republicans, presented to him,
would he abandon silver or the Repub-
lican party? He might be false to both
but he could only be true to one, and
he would be true to the Republican
party and false to silver
The adc9tion of the cry for free sill
yer as part of their slogan is only made
by the Republicans for the purpose of
deceiving the people of Utah, but the
deception will not work.
Whatever of silver sentiment there is
in the Republican party in Utah, in
congress that sentiment would be an
initiated by the Republican party. The
people of Utah should ever bear in
mind the fact that representatives in
congress and United States senators
perform their duties in Washington,
and that the party influence that is
dominant there controls them The in
fluence that dominates the Republican
party at Washington, and all over the
Union as for that matter, is the single
gold standard influence, the anti-silver
influence.

TILE WEBER COUNTY DEMoC-
RACY.

Politics in Weber county is always
interesting, and this year is no excep-
ton. Weber county is the home of the
fusion movement. and while that
movement is dead still many of those
who favored it are endeavoring to at
tain the object for which it was in
augurated through other means. IF
forts are being made to have Demo-
cratic legislative nominees selected who
will vote for United States senator,
not for a Democrat, but a fusionist;
and it is said that to accomplish this
purpose improper and insidious infiu-
ences are at work. If :hey are. no
heed should be given them.
The plain duty of the Democrats of
Weber county is to nominate for men,
bers of the legislature, and for all other
offices, Democrats who will vote for no
one for senator who is not Democrat.
If any man desires Democratic support
for United States senator or for any
other office. let him join the Demo-
cratic party. and if he refuses to do
this, no Democratic support should be
given him
The great cause in Utah is the sill
yer cause. and it can be best served
through the Democratic party The
Democrats of Weber county should
recognize this fact, and listen to no
plea or argument in favor of the nom
ination or election to office, no matter
how humble or exalted, of any one
who is not a Democrat. The Democratic
party owes nothing to any man, and
most assuredly not to any man who is
not a member of it.
The Democrats OF Weber county and
of Utah should be true to the princi-
pies of Democracy, and then they can
not be false to any man.

Speaking of the statement issued by
the clergymen of Utah, the Boston
Post says, in part:
But as for the control of politics by
the Mormon church, that is an evil
more quickly reached. 1t is the fruit
of the unlucky alliance between the
Republican managers and the Mormon
priesthood. the first object OF which
was to strengthen the Republican con-
troll OF the United States senate. The
entire delegation of Utah in congress.
the two senators and the representa-
tive, are Republican, Mormon and in
favor of oolygamy, if not personally
polygamists. The Republican party in
Utah accepts the dictatiOn of the Nor
mon priesthood in its nominations for
Office The state is run by this COM
bination.
The Post is sadly off in this state
ment. The Utah congressional dele
cation is composed of two Democrats
and one silver Republican. The Post
is equally off in it's allegation that the
entire delegation is in favor of Dolyg-
amy. The Post should post itself on
Utah politics.

THAT GoLDRUG BIGoT.

The Provo Enquirer, a nauseating ad-
mixture of religious fanaticism and
partisan bigotry, detaches a sentence
from a Herald editorial and claims that
that particular sentence does not an
swer something put forth by the En-
quirer.
The Provo goidbug says:
In reply to our assertion that the
double standard could not be main
tanned. etc. The Herald says: Ger
many maintained the silver standard
for years"
1t certainly seems that no newspaper
is able to defend Mark Hanna's fnan-
cial policy and tell the truth at the
same time. What The Herald said was
exactly this: France has demon
strated the possibility of this very sim
pie undertaking. The case of Ger
many was mentioned merely to show
that, where single standards have been
maintained the silver standard was al
ways the more stable and honest. And

A SILVER BACKsLIDER.

In relation to the preservation of the
parity between gold and silver, Con-
gresham Shaft 9th, in his great speech
in congress of May 26, 1898, said:
Under free coinage the minute one
metal becomes cheaper than the other
all the demand is taken from the
dearer and transferred to the cheaper
metal. That demand is so great COM
pared to the actual difference in pro-
duction that it almost Immediately re-
stores the value of the cheaper metal"
The Tribune says that this is con-
trary to both history and common
sense, and against every rule of po-
litical economy.
But what did our morning contem-
porary say before it endorsed Alma Ell
dredge. an administration Republican,
for congress? What did it say before
the Republican platform pledged the
reunited Republicans of Utah to all
the policies of President Mckinley?
1t reviewed that speech of Shafroth
1t commented on the matter quoted,
and said:
There is no man, either in or out
of that house, who can combat by facts
and argument furnished on facts, the
speech. And it's conclusions are so
Irresistible that we do not see how
men who have the interest of this
country and the American people at
heart can fail to see their significance
and the absolute need of the govern
ment of the United States, performing
the act of justice to itself and the
world, of undoing the wrong of a quar-
ter of a century ago and stop all the
consequent sorrow and losses that have
grown out of that legislation
Attention is called to this matter in
order to show, ot.-only the utter un-
reliability of the Republican organ, but
the absolute surrender it has made to
the gold standard forces. Now and
then it will emit silver Shrek, but
its sympathies, henceforth, are bound
to be with the crowd in which it trains.

The report of the investigation into
the killing, at Cavite, of Private Hud-
son, of the Utah artillery, has been
made. and it is unfavorable To the
Utah soldiers. At the time the news of
the unfortunate occurrence came we
were apprehensive that the men en-
gagged in the affair had brought the
trouble on themselves, and it seems
that such was the case. In one respect
it is a matter of congratulation that 1t
is so, strange as 1t may appear, for 1t
shows that the insurgent soldiers did
not wantonly shoot the men and that
they do not seek trouble with our SOL
diers. The affair was deplorable in
every respect, and it is to be hoped
there will never be another like II.
