THE CITY STILL HERE.

/
The city of salt Lake will suNlye
Tuesday s disaster. and will press on
with such vigor as it. may TO the inl'
fillmept of its great destiny as the
metropolis of all this region. region
extending eastward 10 the continental
divide. and westward TO tho Sierras,
70 the northward there is no competing
CITY. TO the southwark there is none.
All this region is rich in mineral, IN
agricultural wealth. in forests, in water
power. in resources Of every KIND. salt
Lake City is the natural entrepot ana
center of all this vast region, with Its
wealth in mines. in cattle. in agricul-
ture. and every material resource. Nlth
the start that the American party has
given the city. it ought TO thrive we'll
under any sort Of an honest admins
! Iration And We believe that it VIII
thrive. in spite of some adverse condi'
tions which Tuesdays election lm'
poses.
We feel confident in speaking Tor
tho American party and for those Who
UNFOLD the principles of Americanism,
that the incoming administration Will
receive loyal. effective support from
Americans of every degree that the
American party has never received from
the opposition here, The American
party wishes we'll for Salt Lake under
every condition and in all cIrcum-
stances. No American Will assail the
fair name of the city rs this has been
assailed by the opposition during their
fight for control, Americans can be
relied upon at all times to work for the
city and to promote its advancement,
material and moral. in every way that
it is possible for them to. do. While
they regret the defeat Of their ticket,
they are not sore, they are not vim
dctivc, they bear no i'll Will, They
arc all the time fighting for tho vim
dication OF principle and for the city.
Their effort VIII he in the same dl-
rection right along in the future as
il has been in the past, helpful, su5-
tanning. and encouraging. The "Silyer
King crowd that was so viruleutly
and unscrupulouslv .ssailcd during the
campaign, will remain here on duty
inst as before. Their extensive build
incs. the great improvements they have
put in. will he here Just as before
election. These Will be, both helpful and
ornamental to Salt Lake City, just as
they have been from the time of con
struction. And the enterprise, good
will towards the city. and helpful hands
of the Silver King crowd Will by no
means fail bv reason Of the vindlctiVc
opposition to them which was manifest
cd prior 10 the election. Why 1T Is
that men who have done SO much for
least before the people for their votes,
and who have done SO much for the city
without demanding anything for them
selves. should have been so assailed
is ono of the mysteries OF Il very
odious campaign on the part Of the OPP
position.
Mayor Bransford makes a manly,
straightforward statement TO the pub
lie, precisely in the same VEN that |
The Tribune is now speaking. He is |
all the time. lie wishes it we'll, aud |
will do whatever he can to forward its
progress aud growth. And so say we
all of the American party.
Apostle Smoot wired his cuneratula-
tions to his own organ in his usual in.
felicitous way, renewing tho charges of
the campaign by saving Now for a
cleaner. better. and greater city. with
graft. vice. and dislike eliminated.
Why Apostle Smoot should see fit after
the election TO renew the vindictivc
ante. election charges rests with himself
10 explain. 1t is manifest, however.
that hatred is not eliminated from his
heart. or he would not Indulge i'll such
venom after election.
The American case against church
rule IL politics was fully, openly, and
conspicnously proved by the church
practically taking charge Of the cam
paign and clccting It's ticket. lt is,
Of course, true also. that good many
Americans abandoned their ticket
through hate and personal revenge. We
leave them also TO settle the matter
with their conscicnccs. confident that
when the cause of their resentment is
they Will be found working
hand in hand for the nigh sentiments
and noble purposes always cnunclated
in the American platforms and insisted
upon as the leaycn which viii make
all things come right IN Utah when
that leaven has thoroughly leayencd the
loaf
