IT'S SHEER AND FAILURE.

Closely following the recent munici-
pal election i'm this city, The Tribune
set forth the fact that the American
party administration OF Salt Lake :

the highest degree: that the American
party purposes are good aud not evil;
friendly and not hostile; helpful 10
the whole people, and not harmful 10
any. This was hooted AT by the church
organ and denounced rs a glariug false
hood
We jhcrcupon called upon thc church
organ to Justify its sncer and to set
forth something that the American
party had done harmful 10 the public
interests or injurious 10 any person.
