THE ONLY newspaper in the United
States Of influence or of prominence
that has justified Governor Murray in |
his theft of Utah, is the Louisville |
Courisr-Jornal, of which Henry
Watterson is editor. Even that jour
nal has not attempted to approve the
crime on legal grounds. 1t applauds
the Governor, and says in substance
that the end iustifes the means,
whether the latter be lawful or other
wise. Mr.. Watterson is a democrat
with national reputation. He is a
scholar, brilliant writer and states
man of no mean degree. He edits
the leading newspaper OF the south,
and Is altogether one of the prominent
men OF the republic; hence his course
in the Murray theft business has ex-
cited much surprise and comment.
It has been so unlike Wstterson that
editors everywhere are astonished and
filled with wonder at the change that
has come over him. His conduct sp.
pears the more strange when it is
remembered that Murray is a rank
republican, and while in the newspa-
per business was constantly abusing
Wattsrson and his journal. The re-
marks that have been made concern
ing the warm alliance tina! has re-

men have not been at all faEtering to
Henry Watterson as a democrat or
gentleman. 4 key TO the mystery is
found in the following, which ap-

and Watterscn have been together very bi
frequently, and it is said that they have ri
