wrote you IN relation to Peace meet.
ing Of the Democracy Of Davis and WA
pello countiss,'' and gave you thrsst q
tho resolutions adopted q that nssting.
These fellows spoke right out In meeting
--exprsssed their feelings without re-
serve. and made every effort in their
power to get their resolutions published
to the world. Now that you have
published part of them, We have no
doubt but they are under special obliga-
tions to you for the favor. But do any of
your readers doubt that those resolutions
express the sentiments of Che leaders of
that party in Davis county! For our
part, We firmly believe that not only the
leaders. but at least one half Of those who
vote the Democratic ticket in our ccun-
ty fully endorse al that was said and
done at that same "Peace Meeting. -
