A PITIABLE SPECTACLE.

The pitiablc, nbject position Of Mr..
Park in appearing in the pulpit of the
Twentieth ward Mormon meeting house
on Sunday evening for the purpose OF
cIinching the political bargain between
himself aud the church. and winning
Mormon votes, was so revolving spec
tacIe that it is difficult to speak of it in
fitting terms.
Heretofore the pronounced activity
Of the church officials in support of Mr..
Park has been manifest. but there has
heretofore been at least the opportunity
TO give Mr.. Park the benefit of the
doubt. and to deny that he has been a
party 10 the corrupt bargain whereby
church and State are united, and where
by the bargain is clinched between him
self and the church authorities.
1t is well known that the church
politicians never enter into any politi-
cal agreements or activities without
getting the better of the bargain. That
is. thev never work for any one whom
they cannot control, and they never
work for any advantage save their own
Their activity in behalf of Mr.. Park
heretofore has been such "a TO create
the feeling that the bargain has been
struck between them, and that the
church viii be allowed its dictatorial
way in the administration Of the af
fairs of Salt Lake City. provided Mr.
Park is elected Mayor, and sufficient
number of the commissioners with him
10 insure church control
Aud now that evident agreement has
been confirmed, and the compact Is
openly clnched by Mr. Park himself
His contemplate course in crawling for
Mormon votes is deep disappointment
to his real friends, and dishonor to
the name Of Gentle in this community
We never have believed him capable of
such despicabIe surrender as this.
Nothing but the convincing proof of his
own servile, degraded act could have

SHERIFF SHARP'S FAKERY.

The statement made by Sheriff 10.
scph G. Sharp in the Smoot organ yes
tcrday morning is plain confession of
dereIicton of duty, IL IL is true as he
says. that there is an extensive scheme
for Illegal voting planned, and that he
knows of gang Of fifty vote repeaters,
the identity of some of whom be knows,
as well as the identity of their leaders,
he is guilty of shameful neglect of his
plain official duty in failing TO arrest
them II what he saws is true, aud il
he knows the facts and the names there
can be no excuse urged in his favor for
not pouncing on those repeatcrs and
putting them and their leaders in Jail,
He goes into particulars. stating that
the gang comprises fifty. that about
2O00 illegal votes are involved. and that
the "scheme Of this gang is to repeat
votes in about forty Districts He says
that the plan is 10 vote on dead y
names of such as have moved from the
districts or upon fictitious names which
have been illegally entered upon the
registration books this fall
Why. then. has not Sheriff Sharp
moved before this! If there is illegal
registration such as this. and he knows
OF IT, as he claims 10 do. why has he
remained silent and inactive for full
week. allowing this scheme TO mature,
in place Of promptly arresting those H.
legally registering. and striking terror
10 the heart Of tho ''repeaters and their
names from the lists: The registration
OF week ago was confcssedlv Light
Fully 1000 names were expected TO be
added 10 the lists. In place Of that
number only about 5000 were added
On the face If il. therefore, the regis
tration was short, and there WAS nc
presumption Of any padding Of the lists;
quite the reverse. \ few eases OF col
onizing by the other side has been re-
ported. but these colouizers will be
promptly dealt with in case they at
tempt TO vote.

city committee has stated. the Amcri

10 their legitimate methods and their
full honesty and rcctitude.
Tho rascally charge made BY Sheriff
Sharp is. in fact. moro an Impeachment
Of himself than il is of the American
party: for. IL he believes that what he
saws is true. he is scandalously derel1ct
in doing his duty under the law Tor
the protection of the ballot box and
the lawful rights of the citizens Of Salt
Lake. .
There is. of course. not one word oil
truth in Sheriff Sharp statement so

A DESPICABLE TRICK.

One of the most transparent and de-
spicable tricks that the opposition has
patched up in the present campaign Is
the sending out from the Smoot organ
of what purports TO be sample ballots,
presenting thereon the names of all the
Socialist candidates, and inviting votes
for those candidates As a matter OF
fact. as All should know. the official
ballot Is limited TO the two tickets, the
American ticket and the anti-Amcrican
ticket Tho Socialists ticket WAS elm

Nonpartisan. ANY vote east for the
Socialist ticket is absolutely void nnc

And vet the Smoot organ puts out

dividually might be inclined to vote
for Mayor Bransford. may be deceived
into casting ballots for Mr.. Ramsey
