prodigy who writes the matter for the
sheet mentioned. Truth will not at
tempt to reply in kind, because what
ever this paper may be in the way of a
caustic critic Of things improper, it
has never attempted and never will
attempt to engage in combat with a
sewer outlet, nor grapple catch-as-
catch-can fashion with garbage can.
We criticised this prevaricatOr for
misreprcsenting conditions in Salt
Lake City; wilfully and with apparent
malice toward the town, and he has
made no effort to place himself right
before the people. Instead he heaps
abuse on those who have the right to
score him for his untruthfulness and
thinks this sort of conduct will palli-
ate his offence. Once more Truth
directs attention to the fact that this
fellow is an enemy to this city and its
enterprises, and suggests to those who
may think of encouraging him by con-
tributing to his support that they
take second thought and leave him
alone. 49, Truth.
The above has caused the editor of
this paper to realize that he has made a
grevious blunder, in fact several almost
objectionable mistakes. In designat-
ing the writer of the above as a "pale
grey asst we have placed ourselves in
a position to be kicked by every
animal of that description, and it can
hardly be doubted that that class of
animals have a kick coming. In re-
ferring to him as "squirrel-headed
specimen" an injustice has been done
the squirrel and most abject apology
is due that little animal. Likewise
in describing the "Truth" man as a
confirmed dyspeptic," mistake was
made. Even dyspeptics have cheerful
moments occasionally, but this fellow
does not. Will the dyspeptics pardon
us for placing him in their class?
Instead of dyspepsia, the disease is
probably meglomania, melancholia, or
hypocondria; and above all, this
creature is not a dope fend. The
peculiar properties of dope cause its
users to "dream dreams and see
visions" that rival a Salt Lake sunset
in their glory and splendor, but this
fellow sees only destruction to Salt
Lake City because of a six line squib

city is hard pressed for finances. OF
course all this is nonsense, and this
candidate for Provo desires us to take
him seriously. His mutterings are
not worth it, but we will get serious

The REPUBLICAN comes in for
