WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The friends of Governor

within two or three Gays, that any other candi-
dates had been presented for the position he now
occupies or that there was any serious opposition 10
his reappointment. Assoon as it was known IN Utah'
apetiton was prepared and circulated in Salt Lake
CITY asking for Governor Emerys retention. aud in
a sin Gle day il was signed by more than 200 GENTLE
bankers, merchants, mine owners and business men,
some of whom. in addition, had written letters TO
the President and Secretary Uf the Interior giving
at length their reasons for not desiring change
in the Executive Office of Utah. The
sieners of this petition include not only large
iority of the more influential Geniles OF Utah, but
also the men who own nine-tenths of all the prop
erty held by the non-Mormon population Of Salt
Lake CITY, This petition will reach Washington in
day or two.
Among those who now in this city urging
Governor Emery's reappoinment, Is ChiefJustice
Hunter OF the supreme Court of Utah. He says
that there has never been time in the history OF
the Territory when there have been so few obsta-
now, nor time when so little is needed IN the
way of legislation. The progress that has beon
made in this direction. he says IL largely due 10
the work that has been quietly and un0sentatious-
ly doue by Governor Emery; and the Judge is said
TO have told the President two or three days
