THE SECOND WARD MUDDLE.

With its usual amiability and good
nature, the Descret News on Thanksgiv
ing evening. in discussing the double
convention held in the Second ward of
this city for the nomination of candl-
dates for the board of education, lald
the whole trouble at the door OF The
Tribune. 1t says that The Tribune
Hwas shown the authorized call for the
convention at the Grant School signed
bv the chairmen Of the three parties,
and was further assured that If any
efforts were made by anybody to
change the meeting place as designated
in the official call, he would be liable
TO prosecution. The truth is that
The Tribune was shown both calls, and
if anybody INDUCED in any threats OF
prosecution, we consider that such a
threat was an evidence Of weakness,
since there would be no occasion for
any threats if the claim was clear. The
Tribune saw both calls both Being
signed by all the chairmen, and the
Fremont call being first. Afterwards,
lob seems to have been put up in the
official interest. We understand also
that the other morning paper printed
the call for the Fremont School meet
ing only. Under these circumstances,
there might at least be allowed room
for difference of opinion as to which
was the official call But not SO with
the News. 1t considers that The Trib-
une is wholly TO blame in this matter
and that its own view is the only
view possible TO take, which is the
usual thing with self-deludod bigots.
Those persons who read only the other
morning paper, saw no call, as we under
stand it, except the call for the Fre-
mont meeting. Why. then, should it
be so positively asserted that the Grant
meeting was the official one called7
We do not so consider it, but remain
Of the opinion that the original call,
that for the meeting at the Fremont
School, was the real nonpartisan call,
and that the Grant meeting call was
snare.
The truth is that the Deseret News
cares nothing at all about the schools,
knows practically nothing about them,
