RICHARD P. MORRIS.

Three times has Richard p. Morris
been elected to office in Salt Lake
City through the aid of republican
votes. Twice as treasurer and once
as mayor. Three times he has failed
to show or exhibit the slightest graft
tude for the honor done him, but with
self complacent smile of unap-
proachable egotism has accepted these
favors as something that belonged to
him by Divine right, and for which
no thanks were due. When four years
ago he was through republican votes
made mayor of this city, upon as
Stunning office the prominent republi-
cans who had openly and manfully
for the sake of good government
and principle supported him, were by
him entirely ignored. Upon assum-
ing office as mayor he consulted with
those who had opposed him, who had
denounced him in print, cartoon and
public speech as lick spittle, church
fanatic and lacking backbone, but the
men who had sacrificed party for
principle were by him humiliated in
the dust
Of the damning acts of ingrati
tude of which he was guilty the first
and foremost was when he made his
famous trade with the Kearns coun-
cilmen by which he agreed to and did
keep in office noted Kearns office

Tribune for advertising and to B. D.
Blackmarr for groceries.
Resolved, that the motto we give
to Our city officials we reed the nun,
we need the num-"
A committee of experts were ap-
pointed to prepare a statement of the
citys finances for use in the coming
election. An appropriation was made
for enough money to procure the
latest edition in Juggling with fig
ures" for the use of the committee.
The names of the newly appointed
executive committee were laid before
the meeting for confirmation. An OBJ
lection was made that Sefrit had not
been here long enough to get dry be-
hind the ears, and that his frequent
apologies of the past for articles APP
pearng in the Tribune materially les
sened his influence. Objection was
made to cleveland that he was an
unknown quantity and newcomer.
As to Joe Lipman he was passed with
the understanding that he was not
to be permitted to run any registra-
ton trains.
Critchlow, it was claimed by few,
was unreliable, that he had worked
might and main to put the old Liberal
party out of commission, and was
liable to bolt at any time.
The committee was finally con-
firmed with the remark that they
were as good as could be got under
present circumstances.
1t was ordered that touching APP
peal be sent to Mr.. Kearns to loosen
up, that if necessary box of cas-
carets be included in the appeal.

his church leaders, into the dust, of
as foul abuse as the world has ever
known, prefers the Tribune candidate.
If anything should cause the voters
of this city to open their eyes and see
Richard p. Morris as he is, a walking
exhibition of complacent egotism, "Me
or hell" "me or else stand the Tri-
bune." "Me or continuation of
graft in city affairs" 81 cannot agree
to anybody else being elected but
me, if I am defeated all must be-"
This latest political mistake OF his
should defeat him and send him to
utter oblivion.
When brought to the point, through
the indignation caused by his express
sion of his preference, when weaken
ing as he always does, he made an
evasive denial, which did not deny.
Yet the Tribune told the truth. Rich
ard P. Morris did say that if he was
defeated he preferred the election of
the Tribune candidate. Not only has
he said it, but his henchmen have
daily said it, 1t has been their talk
for weeks.
1t is time that the Mormons and all
good people of Salt Lake sized up
Richard P. Morris for what he is, a
weak, egotistical political nothing,
who never says no and promises
every man. Has not the political
backbone of an angle worm.
The voters Of Salt Lake should not
turn down such man as DR.. Plum
mer for an insignificant political
weaklng such as Richard P. Morris,
whose political record and utterances
show that he would betray his creed,
his church, his party, his friends and
his city to get public office.

holders, and refused to re-appoint
one republican wo had assisted him.
The next was his te-up with A. ].
Davis, Thomas Black and L. D. Mar
tin, by which it was mutually agreed
that if he would allow a clerk, one
not needed, to the land and water
commissioner, the precious trio would
allow him clerk in the mayors Of
fee, and for these two clerks, Morris
knew then and knows now, there was
absolutely not one iota of use. They
were both sinecures, pure and simple.
Before 60 days of his administra-
ton were gone the alliance of Richard
Morris, with the Kearns ring was as
complete as could be, and the Kearns
agents in the water department and
other departments of the city, were
Morris political undoing, two years
ago, the most important factors, as
they all worked against him tooth
and toe nail.
Having helped to elect him three
times, and doing their best to elect
him two years ago, when he lost
through the efforts of the Kearns
men he had deliberately appointed to
office and by his own political mis-
takes. Having failed to even receive
a thank you, having been snubbed and
Inundated by him, the republicans
feel now that they have gone to the
limit of political concessions. They
feel that as far as Mr.. Morris is con-
cerned they have come to the parting
of the ways. They want no more Of
his snubs or alliances with the Kearns
grafters.
But the browning act of his politi-
cal perfdy and ingratitude was his
statement to Kearns paper that be-
tween DR.. Plummer and Bransford he
preferred Bransford. Richard P.
Morris, a Mormon born and Bred,
and one in daily life, the recipient of
enough republican votes to elect him
three times to high offices and of al
most enough to elect him yet again
between an honest, clean, upright re-
publican, and the candidate of the
Tribune, a paper which has for years
dragged those of his religious faith

that it is the real, simon pure, incor-
ruptible, moral article, and entitled for
two years more to finger city cash
for the benefit of the Tribune and its
ward heelers.
Mr.. Darmer, clothed in his official
title of Lord High Cockolorum OF his
majesty, Tom Kearns, the un-
equalled and unparalleled Mormon
eater presided.
The first business brought before
the meeting was the resolution en-
dorsing that firm, patriotic and I'm
equivocal order of the city admins
tration that no supplies for the city
be purchased from Mormons. When
it was announced that the mayor
would work might and main, getting
up at AGO a. m. to enforce it, the en-
thusasm knew no bounds, and cries
of that's the stuff" well be m on
the dizzy now," ito hell with the Nor
MONS" were heard on every side.
A committee was appointed to re-
port resolutions, which committee af-
ter celebrating long enough to make
it appear they were original reNolu-
tons and had not been prepared be-
fore hand in the Tribune office, re-
ported as follows:
"When in the course of human
events the affairs of the city OF Salt
Lake was turned over to our greedy
hands, and its treasury placed at Our
disposal, it was believed that the
charge given us would be perpetual
and the jobs and money be always at
Our disposal, and,
Whereas, through an unfair
idea coming into the voters
minds that we are not just as good
as they supposed we were, and there
being at this time grave prospects
that we may be 'heisted' at this cleo
ton and cruelty separated from Our
jobs and the city's cash box and
Whereas, the climate of California
and a lucky unloading of stocks has
induced Our patron Saint, Hon. T..
Kearns, to devote most of his time
to bulls, cows and calves, and to neg
lect us, and as we are frightfully
afraid he will forget us in the matter
of his contributions.
Therefore, be it resolved, that for
the purpose of placing our party in a
position where it can hold up Gentle
merchants for such needed cash, that
we heartily endorse and commend
the wise. patriotic and humane &C
ton of our active and energetic adj
ministration in ordering that under
no circumstances shall supplies for
Salt Lake City be purchased from a
vile Norman, but that all supplies
shall be purchased from the only hon
orabe and good people in Salt Lake
City, Tom Gentiles.

The drift on the Union was in high
grade chalcopyrite ore, equal to any
yet encountered on the property. Tha
rich ore in the drift has varied in
thickness from eight inches to two and
a half feet and averaged better than
% per cent copper. There is about
81 600 worth Of this ore on the dump,
all of which was taken out in drifting
no stopping having yet been done. An
upraise has been started from this
drift To the surface eighty feet above,
which should be completed i'm two
weeks. Then sinking from the drift
will be commenced.

Union. which is 45O feet deep. is being
Unwatered. This shaft will be equip

be sunk to 1000 feet. This hoist and a
smaller steam hoist for another shaft
