A Flat QUESTION.

VIM. J Bryan, the leader and repre-
santasive of s&his .politioal combination
,or fusion, as it ISL generally understood,
has, in his speeches. .shown very
strong tendency to create unfriendly
relations between certainsulasses,for the
purpose Of creating prejudice, which
certainly is unjustifa BILE Ion his part,
and not necessary i'll discussing .politi-
measures. Budge's s1Ye+tsr.
Does he, or the masses he seems
to have behind him, hold tone-half
the contempt for the money aristo-
cracy that the aristocracy hold for
laboring masses? We, don't know
what Mr.. Budge's answerwould be,
but we do know what everyone,
almost, comedies it woa4d be.

views and party candIaAtes, and aNsare
left to their individual choice. There
are no freer people as to the exercise of
the elective franchise than the citizens
of Utah. and among them none have
ssreater personal and political tAberty
sthGn the members Of the 'MormOn"
Church.
The EXAMINER hopes that no ef-
fort along this lineis being, or will
be used, in Bear Lake, but if it j.,
cite the parties attempting it, Ito
the article above from the News.
1t is official and can be safely fol-
lowed by people in Bear Lake as
we'll as in Utah. What applies
there, applies with equal force, in
this county. Nose your conyic-
tions, irrespective of-any outside or
inside attempt at advising.

KEEP F0R REFERENCE.

Pres, Bulge, ian his letter to the
Post, a. couple ef weeks ago, said
substantially, that whichever came
from the Dese:et News was as from
the head of the church itself, and
this being true, we call the atten-
ton Of the people to the following
editorial, that appeared in that pap
er last Monday:
The notion that the Elders of the
Mormon" Church direct the members
how they shall vote, is entirely CHROME
Gus. No such order or advice as that
mentioned has been given. People here
are divided as in other states as to party

trusts do the farmers think are
good? Is it the nail trust, or barb
ed wire, or wagon, orstandard oil,
or sugar, or gaEdenatools, or axe, or
shovel, or school book, or binding
Irvine, or sash and a8or, or steel
and wire, or Gotten thread, or to-
bacco, or tin plate, or whip, or
window glass, or CLOTHES wringar,
or writing paper, or tack, or match,
or iron chain, or thresher, or NOW
ing machine, OF pillow, or pins-but
why name any more? Are these
any of the tr1asts the farmer wants:
If SO, let the republicans trot them
out
The democrats oppose them all,
for the reason that they can have
but one effect, j. e., to raise prices
and shut out competition.
MoRAL-Take no chances on any
of them, by voting the democratic
ticket.

TheTepublican national commit
tee has Ganceded Ida hOst BRYAN,
but it e'hepes that Shoup will be
ne. elected This is the meat in
the co~OaRut. 1t "hopes." Why?
This committee figures that the
people Of idaho will vote for Bryan,
and then turn around and support
republican nominees for the legis-
lature, who will vote for Shoup.
The EXAMINER does not believe the
people of Idaho are SO inconsistent.
The EXAMINER would rather see
Mckinley carry Idaho, if the leg.
islature is to be republican, tnan
to have Bryan carry the state, and
Shoup carry the legislature.
If you vote for Bryan here in
Bear Lake county, follow it up by
voting for Messrs. Pugmire, Howell
and Brennan. They will vote for
q senator, who will help Bryan, in
his endeavor to relieve the people
from the onorous weight Of gold
standard, the robbing trusts, and
other monopolies. # you vote for
Bryan and then votefor republican
mersbers Of the legislature, YOU
will 81 IMPLY he -lhelplng yourself
with.one kelad, and blocking the
effort with the other Shoup will
not vote for aug measure which
Bryan faaers. Remember this
" hen you come to cast yeur vote
on Nov. 9th.

WHICH ARE 600 d."

The republicans condemn trusts or
combinations organized for the purpose
of advancing prices, and which are mi
mical to the public good. The demo
Gratis denounce all trusts or combina-
tions, good, bad or Indifferent. The re-
publicans take up the subject as though
it were serious matter, requiring
wisdom and prudence; the democrats
take it up as though they we're dealing
with some noxious animal that must be
dispatched without inquiry or investi-
gation.-Post.
This is the plea Of the republi-
cans, even in Bear Lake. Now,
what we want to know is, what

The EXAMINER alleges, that if

est bearing bonds;

A vote for the democratic legisla'
