tat We suppose that what the
editor Of the TINES means to say IS
that the Sultan Of sulu is the boss
Of the Republican party. Well we
may admit that and still feel no hui
initiation, in view Of the fact that
Dick Croker, the Grand Sacherr Of
Tammany, is the acknowledged boss
of the Democrats.
And again shouts the editor Of
the Times Not only liberty for
the people Of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. but liberty to the
whole human race is what the cleo
ton of Bryan eventually (means) !"
We don't know what the election.
Of Bryan eventually means. but we
do know what the Democratic party,
where il is dominant now, means. /
In South Carolina, in Georgia, in
Mississippi, in kentucky, and prac-
tica1iy throughout the solid south
Democratic success means the dis
franchisement Of American citizens.
While our Democratic friends are.
bowling over the injustice they as
st1ftae to have been worked on the
Cubans, Porto Ricansand Filipinos,
how is il they Fever say q word to
show any depreciation Of the wrongs
of the coIored citizens living in the
United, States9
And here is another from the red
hot Times. Every man and woln-
an who loves home and all that
word implies should fight the Re-
publican party, the upholder of
harens and all its vices, the believ-
er of slavery and all its sufferings,
the breeder Of trusts that raise
prices SO that laborers are deprived
of the very necessaries of life, and
friends and allies Of monarchs." All
that kind of stuff ard nonsense must
be very edifying to the people Of
Cassia County. Let us analyze these
statements as they appear in the
Albion Times. First, allthose who
love their homes are admonished to
fight the Republican party. The
record shows that the Democratic
party fought the free homes bill
successfully tor nearly thirty years.
The record shows that during the
last Democratic administration more
people were turned out of their
homes than in all the rest of the
time since the Declaration of indie
pendence. The record shows that
if the Democratic party had con-
tinued in power four years more at
least three-fourths of the people of
this country would have been home
less today. The record shows that
if the Democratic party had re-
manned in power only two years
more there would probably have
been an uprising of the people Of
the United States that would have
shaken the government to Its foun-
dations. Now the Times again ad-
monishes the people to beware d
the Republican party because it is
the uphoider Of harems and all its
! vices. Let us see as to that. The
first platform declaration against
polygamous marriages was adopted
bya Republican convention. The
first law enacted to suppress poly
gamy was enacted by q Republican
Congress. The last time that the
question of polyga,ny was brought
| prominently before the Nation, 9
Republican congress put the seal Of
its condemnation upon that practice
by ousting Brigham H. Roberts
from the congress of the United
States, while on the other hand
substantially every Democrat mem
Der of Congress voted to have Mr..
Roberts retain his seat. That is
the record on that question.
Again the Times warns the pee
! pie against the Republican party be.
cause it is the believer in slavery
and all its sufferings. Of ali the
cheeky and contemplate assertions
ever put in public print this is the
