for that wider field Of public activity
into which the election of November
9Th will place him. And it would
not be fair in making of political
history to overlook the fact that in
many respects the campaign for the
nomination was a remarkable one.
Both candidates were able men, pos
sessed of strong personal attachments,
counting their friends by the score.
and both worthy of the position they
sought. One lost, the other won. and
when the smoke Of the battle cleared

ticket should be elected. aud has given
his reasons for the stand lie takes.
Senator John G. SpOoner has made a
similar statement. and also makes
known his reasons for the stand he

A ROTTEN OFFICE.

The exhibit made in another part Of
this paper, of the shameful partisan
ship and laxity in zeal for the en-
forcement Of the law in the County At
torney's office here, shows a condition
Of affairs to exist which is disgrace
to this county. Playing favorites in
criminality, shielding offenders whose
culpability is gross and their trans
grcssion serious and deep, while at the
same time bringing petty prosecutions
for partisan ends, constitute series of
administration in the County At
torney's office, which must call forth
the most severe apprehension from
every right minded citizen.
Is every department of civil admins
tration in this State prostituted to the
use of the political gangf 1t looks like
il, A Judge must be urged by pollti-
clans TO decide as Il politician, to the
satisfaction Of the Republican par

down by the party boss, who announces
after talking with the Judge that his
explanation is not satisfactory. Think
of It'll The Judge IS the one who is
called OH to explain, by the party boss,
for resenting the attempt to mako him
decide according to party interestsl
The enforcing Of political assumption
and despotism could go no farther than
this. 1t is an offense to every patriot
in the State.
The County Attorneys Office, how
ever, is not called upon by the party
bass to explain. 1t does his bidding
even before it gets the word, slavishly
anxious to anticipate the will Of the
partisan autocrat; it refuses to prose
cute partisans who are guilty of felonies
merely because the boss might
not like it, and, eagerly it takes up
a petty prosecution, irregularly and
contemptibly, in the hope that occu-
pants of that office may thus find
favor with the partisan boss.
Thus is right trampled under foot and
degraded, while the functions Of the
law are basely prostituted to the ser
vice of partisan dictation, which
recognizes neither independence nor
decency in official life, nor any restraint
or barrier III tho foul grasp of par
tisan political rascality.

SUNDAY HYPOCRISY.

The hypocritical Deseret News tries
TO link itself with the Christian min
listers Of this City in order that the
charge Of phsrisaism made and proved
against the News shall also seem to
apply to the pastors Of the various
churches hero,
The immediate occasion of this rush
ing to Christian cover by the News is
found in the criticisms made by The
Tribune upon the attitude of the
Deseret News concerning Sunday clos
ing in this community. This paper
avowed, and it SO far sees no reason
to retract or apologize for the utter
ance, that the spasm of the Mormon
church organ on this subject was a
case Of its own ingrowing hypocrisy. 1t
will not successfully defend itself by
attempting to drag the evangelical
clergymen into It's own class. They do
not belong there. The reasons why The
Tribune charged the News with this
fraud arc plainly applicable to the
News and the Mormon church, and as
plainly inapplicable to any other Chris
tian sect in this community. The News
is for tho closing of the other fellow %
place Of business on Sunday; and the
News is for the open-wide-open-
grant running Of its own pet places of
business on Sunday. The News wants
the places of amusement in Salt Lake
and the bars in Salt Lake to be closed
on the Sabbath, and it always has
wanted and always has secured the
open, riotous running Of the Mormon
church resort on the Sabbath, the per
formance of all sorts of vaudeville
stunts there and even the illegal sale
Of liquor to minors from nine o'clock
Sunday morning until midnight Sunday
night.
In order to make the charge of hypoc-
risy applicable to the Christian min
listers Of the community, in their eff
fort to have the theaters and saloons
closed on Sunday, it would be neces-
sary to show that one OF all OF the
Christian. sccts had been in complete
