senators that he is an autocrat.

THE PARKER RESOLUTION.

Henry Watterson of the Louisville
Courier-Journal left mighty little 70,
the rest OF us TO say on the subject oil
uled for introduction in the Denver
convention. 1t will be remembered that
the resolution. under cover of eulogiz-
ing the late ex-President Cleveland
makes a thinly yelled attack on Will
liam Jennings Bryan, who is certain to
be nominated for the presidency. We
thoroughly agree with Mr. Watterson
that the resolution is mot only dis
graceful. but its motive is grotesque
and transparency obvious"
The Democrats will be untrue 10
themselves and their traditions il they
fail 10 pass at Denver resolutions that
will show their regard for Grover
Cleveland and their respect for his
memory. Something of the kind GER
tainly should be made a part of the
record OF the convention. But 1t is not
necessary TO attack Bryan in order to
pronounce eulogy on Cleveland. The
convention must not in one breath. COW
ertly assail Bryan and the next give
him the highest honor within the gift
of the delegates.
1t is altogether probable that the of
fensive sections of the resolutions viii
be eliminated before presentation to
the convention. If they are not the
loyal Democrats there assembled
should sit upon them and upon Judge
Alton b. Parker so hard that neither
of them will ever be heard of again.
The purpose is simply to make trouble.
TO cause a fight, TO bring on an acri-
monious debate and create d1ssensions
Mr.. Watterson says that under any
condition and from any quarter the
proposal to revitalize old quarrels by
preamble and resolution on the thresh-
hold of a national convention would be
thrown out as insane
And he adds:
Coming from Connors and Murphy.
from Belmont and Ryan. froi.I Parker
and Sheehan. 1T will be thrown out as
infamous They may defeat us, but
they cannot debauch us"

SLANDERiNG THE DEAD.

Asserting that 1.-The truth of history
should be preserved Salt Lake
newspaper declares: THAT he (Cleve-
land) obtained money on the bond sales
by personal manipulation has always
been understood by the country. and,
so far as we know, has never been dis
puted."
The country never understood" that
Mr.. Cleveland. as president of the
United States. made money corruptly
for himself in the flotation of govern
ment bonds. The charge was never
denied because il needed no denial: and
ii is not believed now by any but the
ghouls who delight in the Islander of
the dead for partisan purposes. When
the bond issues We're a matter of bitter
agitation and judgment was influenced
by clamor. there might have been
some excuse for the men who were
ready to believe that president of the
United States would prostitute his
high position for money; now that the
heat of debate has died down and I'm
partial opinion is possible in the light
OF subsequent events, there is no ex-
cuse for such calumny of the dead.
Grover Cleveland died a COMPARE
lively poor man. No one who knew
the man would believe for a moment
that he ever took money corruptly for
any purpose. Such SANDER as that
never had any basis of fact. real or
pretended; and the truth of history
has no more relation TO a repetition Of
the Islander than il has 10 any other

LARD UP FOR CANDIDATES.

With calm serenity beautiful to
behold. the Republican machine is de-
batting within its ranks as TO which
particular cog in the machine shall be
delegated TO assume the governorship
in succession to John C. Cutler. So far
as the public is able to discover, the
choice has fallen upon f. II. Callister,
collector of internal revenue, sheep
owner. former printer and present chief
political.
II does not seem TO have occurred 20
the machine that the other Republicans
of Utah have any voice or should have
any i'm the selection of candidates. All
these outsiders are expected TO do is
to ratify in convention the choice CT
the federal officeholders' syndicate and
then vote the ticket chosen for them
on election day. Strong in their de-
nunciation of the American" party's
machine rule. they dictate to their own
party with a total disregard of party
preference and a selfish monopoly OF
the offices that discounts anything the
Americans" have ever attempted.
Just why Callister should be thought
eligible for the governorship is one of
the things no fellow can find out. Cut
ler although something of a weak Sis
ter. does have a standing in the COM
mercial and political world that en-
titles him to respect. Callister is of
the type exactly described as
cheap" politician. His ideas of
craftsmanship is bounded by the ward
caucus on three sides and by the po-
Iitical job he happens to hold on the
other Petty in calibre and devious In
methods. he has attained some party
prominence by his affiliation with
Smoot: and he has made this promi-
nence exceedingly profitable to himself
i'm a financial way.
CaIlister for Governor? There are at
least fifteen hundred men in his own
party who would do the place more
credit and serve the state better; and
there are double the number in the
Democratic party. If the Republican
party of Utah has sunk so low that il
has TO resort TO Callister as candidate
for chief executive, il has reached the
stage where il ought to be retired from
business.
