The Plotters Trapped H ' At Inst it becomes tho duty of Tho Records in H tlfo intereflt of honor, honesty, and good govern- H ment, to oxposo tho honorable (?) conduct of the H aggregation of Individuals that is attempting to H manago tho flheet down the street, bearing the H cognomen "Obcrvcr," but which could bo more H appropriately desingated, "The Organ of tho H Knockers' H In its issue of Tuesday the said "Observer" H engaged in a wanton, malicious and absolutely un H callcd-for attack on this paper, its officers apd H Bupportora. In beginning its vituperative erup- B tion, it stated that it "has and will continue to H refrain from 'saying things' that might justly and H truthfully bo said" about Tho Record, and then H it proceeds, doubtless to the surprise of no dne, to mako its word goodand devoted two columns to a conglomeration of falsehoods and misrepresent tations, "rof raining cntiroly from 'saying things' H that might justly and truthfully bo said." B As an excuso for its sudden explosion of B vonom, it reproduced an article from tho vile pen B of tho writor for a political campaign sheet, pub- B Halted as often as political candidates provide B sufficient, funds to pay for its publication, and a few B dollars for its conscienceless editor (procured by B methods that nro little short of blackmailing), at B Salt Luko City, and known as Tho Great Cnm- B paign. It is n vagabond sheet that docs not de- B ervo to bo dignifiod by tho name "nowspapor." B From a study of tho shoot itsolf it is impossible to B ascertain who tho individual is that so "ably" B edits it; in fact, so lacking in an "oxcuso for liv- B . ing," so manifestly without any "useful purpose" k is it, tho United States government will not admit Igttrf 'gljgfr ," py n ; ' fl as second class, or newspaper, K STlP mtSSsvS! - - - -- - ' " " JBut, although tho editor of "Tho Great Cam- , lwign" is not generally known to tho public, ho is I woll known to tho nowspnpor fraternity, and a I glowing, gllttoring, dazzling example of fossilized B journalism ho ial a typical "hasn't boon," an ovi B k dont "novor wuzzor," a pitiful dorolict upon tho B 1 aoa of lifo, ono who is chiefly romembored by the B ' number of nowspapors ho has consigned to tho B , journalistic gravoyard through his "able" man I agmont, and tho singular and natural ability ho lias B ! always manifested for distinguishing tho B "morita" of "valley-tan, " "puro rye," and "old B J bourbon." , B Tho ''editor" of "Tho Great Campaign" was B careful to see to it that no copy o! tho shcot B ' containing tho article roforrcd to (and which I appears in another column of Tho Record) was I mailed to this papor, but a bundlo was mailed to B tho local sub-editor of tho Obsorvor who has sinco B boon passing thorn around with much ovident B gusto to himself. B All of which is quito natural; rathor a family B .fTnir. ho to suoak: for tho "editor" of The B GreaLCampaign is a faithful contributor to the Bv "editorial" columns of tho-Obsovor, doubtless for tho pennies that ho receives in tho way of com- I missions on legal work secured as a result of his assinino methods with tho stato officials. Spme times theso contributions partake of the naturo of oifusivo complimonts on tho "success and tho appearance 01 tho Obsorvor, and tho bright, f breozy matter appearing in its columns," and B , which bear tho writers name, and at other times in tho form of "oditorials" purporting to have I been writton by tho "figurehead editors" of the B paper. L It is an indisputable fact, of which this B papor has an abundanco of ovidonce, that nearly, B if not all, articles appearing in tho so-called edi- B torial columns of the Observer, aro written in B Salt Lake City, a part of them by an attacpoo of tho I Supreme Court and a part of thorn by the unti- B; quatod and "able" editor (?) of tho Great Cam- paign. It might be intorosting, if not almost B amusing, to tho public to know that the ontiro I article which appeared in tho Obsorvor ro I spocting this papor was written by ono and the . bqi'o individualthe article in tho Groat Campaign H and tho purported commont by tho Obsorvor. H It s a case of "you scratch my back and I'll H scratch yours." r -Tho two "wireless" edjtqra? nbovo mentioned I ' . -rdm- aro the Salt Lake representatives e Observer, and to them is duotho credit for t paper se curing the publication oftheConrtilfwoI amend ments, which were given It "My without solicitation." Oh, ye angels of Kb, how you must have shuddered when you Ad that state ment I By what right did tho"orgari the knockers demand tho publication of the prfsed Constitu tional amendments? For a paper that had been in existanco1 less than four month to insist that it wns entitled to the printing of them, in the face of tho fact that The Record sM bee" estab lished nearly twenty years and hai the support of a largo majority ptho Jbusine men of. the county IkpuWicah and otherwfoe-wa the most consummate exhibition of gait ever attempted by a paper making any pretenMto honorable dealing. Through the string in the "office of the clerk of tho Supremo Court, and the deceitful representations of the fossilized editor o the Great Campaign, the state officials were deceived and tho welfare of a majority, of th Republicans of Iron county was for the time ignored, but when the PACTS were made known to them they were willing and anxious to dp what they would have done in the first instance had they not been deceived. (he Record, at tho top of this page, carries tho announcement that it independent, and it te, and has boon, following ouVsuch a policy, giving ovory party and every individual the same impartial consideration. ' The "organ of the knockers" carries the same caption; but is' it sincere? What consideration has the Democratic party received at its hands? Has it not studiously' refrained f ronvsaying orprinting anything about that party that, it could possibly avoid? Is not tho report of thoir county convention just about all the mention tho Democrats have received? It has, on two difTeront occasions, printed articles eulogizing the Hon. J. A. Mollville for district judge, but has it said one word about Judgo Joshua Green wood, tho Democratic nominee, Whom the people have twice before honored for the office of judge? It will, however, accept notices from the Democrats for insertion in its columns, pro vided tho party will pay for them in United States gold coin or its equivalent. Democrats, how do you like it? To protend to Republican -state officials that tho PAPER and its supporters are Republican, whilo maintaining to the people of Cedar City and Iron county that it is indenenjknt. "too hvPQ-iit.Mi"tnineentitie(fiO"ineAiWuvimU4afly1 party." I Tho facts are tho facts! Prove tho position of tho Observor by referring to its columns! We invito a comparison of the Record with it on any proposition where fairness and impartiality are involved. Thostatomont of the associate editor of the Obsorvor (also tho "able" editor of tho Great Campaign) that Tho Record is or has been pre tending to bo Republican Jn policy, is such an absurd falshood as to bo nothing less than silly, its own statement immediately preceding this one giving it tho lio. Don't deceive yourselves, plotters, tho peoplo aronotalwayaas foolish as thoy appear to bo. The statement by Abraham Lin coin that you can't fool tho people all the time, is more potent today than over before. If Tho Record had desired and could have had tho opportunity to cause the publication in tho columns of tho Observer of an article des ignated to redound to its own benefit, it could not havo done better than has that paperjn the publication of its iniquitous, though ridiculous, attack on The Record and its supporters. Judging from tho number of expressions of indignation by thelcading businessmen of the city, tho "organ of the knockers" will bo made to feel and know that such despicablo methods will not be toleiated in this cpmmunity. ! And now, a word to tho author of the article: Tho snows of many winters are whitening! your locks; if you aro to 'cleansoYour mind and) purify your soul, don't delay, begin now, for fathor time waits for no man.
