MR. HADDocK's BAD BREAK.

completely lacking IN foundation and

it with A smile OF tolerant contempt,
were it not for his position.
No such conditions exist here as arc
depicted by Mr.. Haddock- The very
contrary is true. The intolerance, the
boycott, the ostracism. arc all on the
other side. Never do We hear of any
one being ostraciscd by Americans, but
always that sort Of black and damn
able evidence comes from the &C.
clesiasts Of the Mormon church and
those who support them. The Tribune
has shown right along that Gentiles are
habitually boycotted in Mormon busi~
ness institutions They are refused en-
ploymept wherever their services can
possibly be dispensed With. The en-
ployees of Mormon business houses are
almost exclusively Mormons, as The
Tribune has shown in tabulated state
merts from time TO time.
snow that there is no intolerance, no
boycotting, by non Mormon business
houses. Mormons are employed in
these houses without question, and in
many of them the majority of the en-
ployees are Mormons. In fact, in Gen
tile business houses no question Is
asked as to whether an employee is 4
Mormon or not, but only whether he is
competent TO do the work that Is
needed to be done, This We have shown
time after time by the record of the
employees and by the tabulated state.
ments showing them class by class,
For Mr.. Haddock to undertake TO
place the blame on those who are the
objects of the boycott and relieve from
blamo those who are, in fact, using
the boycott, is one Of the outrages of
the campaign Mr.. Haddock, as secre-
tary OF, the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association, makes vicious
aud incIcusable assault upon the non
Mormon business community which is
not only entirely uncalled for. but in
which he completely reverses the facts.
But in one thing Mr.. Haddocli has
partly evened up. II has been claimed
for Sheriff Emery that he has driven
out Of town all the streetwalkers.
aud has so purified the street
throngs and renovated the morals of
Salt Lake that everything is we'll now,
so far rs the social eviln is con-
cerncd. Governor Cutler has addressed
congratulatory letter TO Sheriff
Emery for doing these things. and for
his efficiency III the cause. Now comes
Mr.. Haddock, however, vino declares
that latter 10 o'clock at night, on
Third South, cast of State street,
and down to Fourth South on
State street after he left his
Office, be had to run a VERT
able gauntlet OF lewd women, openly
aud brazenly plying their trade on the
public thoroughfares. Now, this is
really unkiud Of Mr. Haddoek: coming
so soon after the Emery claim and the
Cutler letter, too, and before elec.
ton. 1t absolutely destroys the fake
claim of effectiveness pleaded for
Sheriff Emery in this respect. And
1t knocks the Governors congratula-
tory letter into a cooked hat. And
so FAR as the political effect Of Mr.,
tladdock S address is concerned. ii is
exactly contrary to what he wanted II
to be; because it destroys, so far as it |
is abe TO destroy anything. the
bogus claim made in behalf of Sheriff
Emery But in what position will il
leave Mr.. Haddocks Why does he NOT
report these evils that are pesterinp !
him to the proper officials and have the !
remedy applied? We doubt if Mr.
Haddock has ever made any complaint
70 the police station or TO the city at.
torney or any one in authority. unless
It may be to Sheriff Emery, (who. he
says, has not done what the Governor
sets forth,) of the conditions that be
