Editors Herald:
Feeling assured that your columns
are open to Democracy, we are con-
strained to say word regarding THE
Issue" Be it known we are strong adj
vocates ofsfair play, and it is now a day
of rejoicing. We have triumphed.
Grover Cleveland is elected and the
right will now prevail.A I'VE have been
under the iron yoke of despotism for
over twenty years; the Republican
nordeS had well-nigh wrecked Column
bias fair hopes, and our only redemp-
ton was the recent election of Honest
grover. What revolution among Re
publican officials will take place next
March! A scene beggaring description

them their just deserts Politically
dead then will be the long train of at
tacheS whose creed is besmirched and
upon whose shoulders rest stig-
mas emitting Stenches so foul
that true Democrats will avoid them.
Some Republicans remark: You have
elected hun, you cannot inaugurate
nm. 10 them we say, fear not. A
civil war would burst like a thunder
storm, and then, the United States,
ruined, debaSed, lowered in the eStima-
ton OF every European court by the
unprincipled party in power to-day,
would be divided not into two, but
dozen or more republics God forbid
that such may come, but let us Demo-
Gratis remember that we are following in
the footsteps OF great and good men,
ana IKE the brave and patriotic Plnck-
ney, at the French court in DAYS gone
by, when cOurtier desired fee to gain

but not cent for tribute"
For Utah we Opine success. No more
Murray, no more Zane, but true blue
Democrats will take their places. Were
the great Mormon element Republican,
were they In sympathy with the rabid
hordes OF corruption, it is more than

as a State would have been needed.
they knew the honest sentiments of
this people and have thus far barred
their purpose for fear of giving the
electoral strength of Utah TO Democ-
racy. The financial successes of the
Mormon element, their persistency in
their acknowledged faith, their determi-
nation, In spite OF persecution. to bide
by 1t, their gentlemanly demeanor to-
ward all differing from them religiOusly
or otherwise, is partially the cause of
Republican dissatisfaction. Were they
then Republican, from that standpoint
OF corruption ali would have gone well.
Thank God for the change. for on the
4th OF March next will be seated as
our chief executive, not an accom-

years experience; not a shrewd politi-
cal wire worker and lobbyist, not a
Credit MObilier, but an honest man.
That word honest implies a pure
gentleman in civil as well as public life.
A man unknown to bribery, unknown
TO the nefarious schemes of the official
OF quarter Of a century, unknown to
8-to-7 commissions; a man whose ster-
ling qualities of head and heart have
endeared him to the hberty-loving por-
ton of the American people, and whose

that President-elcct Cleveland will, de-
spite all reports to the contrary. be in
augurated as President of the United
States OF America, on the 4th day oil
