without confirmation, he has done
something that is not generally known in
this community. The DEMOCRAT has
been laboring under the impression that
to the courts would be left the work OF
installing the Governors appointees, ii
they are legally entitled to the offices,
and for that matter, it is we'll known that
those gentlemen are either about to ap-
peal, or already have appealed, to the
courts to install them in the offices to
which they have been appointed.
This dispatch, it occurs to us, is just as
unreliable i'm its statements as was the
alleged special telegram from Washing
ton which the Herald published the
other day. The true reasons for Murray's
removal will doubtless be given out in
due season. but let them be what they
may, the Democrats of Utah are satisfied
with the Presidents action, and only ask
that a good true Democrat be appointed
in the retiring Executives stead.

NOT THE TRUE REASONS.

The Tribune OF this morning prints II
special dispatch from Washington which
purports to give the reasons why Presi-
dent Cleveland asked for the resignation
of Governor Murray. The reasons as,
signed are, in brief, that Governor Muir
ray gave official countenance to the rep
reservations which resulted in the dis
patch OF Il company OF troops
from Omaha TO Salt Lake when
really no necessity therefor existed
that the Governor made unwarrantable
use OF the veto power, and that since the
adjournment OF the Legislature he has
issued proclamation declaring certain
persons whom he had nominated for Ter
ritorial officers, and who were not con
firmed by the Council, to be legally ap.
pointed, and announcing his purpose to
install them.
1t looks as though the sender OF this
dispatch might have drawn upon hi,
Imagination for some OF the reasoni
which laid at the bottom of the Pres
dents action. 1t is not true that the
Governor assigned as his only reason fo
yetoing the appropriation bill (as the
telegram states) the failure OF the Council
to confirm his nominees, and if he has
announced his intention OF installing

Propositions to secure Messages
from the Late General
Hancock.

The widow OF General Hancock has /
received seventeen letters from as many
spiritualistic mediums, all declaring that
the writer's had, or could get, messages
from her dead husband. This is not un-
usual, for the death OF any man at all
generally known is sure to elicit just
such demonstrations. In some instances
the correspondents are probably sin
cere, but nearly all are in business
as mediums and are expectant
of fees. The present batch includes
six palpable swindlers, who profess to
have received exceedingly confidential
and important secrets from the General
which Mrs. Hancock ought to know, and
which she can have for prices ranging
from 50 to $40. One purported to come

SHE STILL LIVES !"

Commenting on the resignation OF Gov
ernor Murray, the Tribune yesterday
morning not only threw its own slobber
all over that worthy gentleman, but also
sought to lug in the very elements and
make them do service as grief-stricken
and mourning auxiliaries. The fact that
q snow-storm ragged in Zion at or about
the time the President intimated his de-
sire to accept Governor Murray's resigna-
ton, was evidence sufficient to the Tribune
that the storm god was displeased at
the Governors removal, and manifested
his displeasure by allowing "a fierce
storm OF sleet and snow to envelop the
earth rs shroud." The fact that Old
Sol has since shown his face in undimin-
ished splendor and converted n consider
able portion OF that same sleet and snow
into something that looks very like liquid
mud, seems to have been entirely over
looked by the Tribune in its issue OF this
morning.
But what consolation it is to know
and even the Tribune admits it to be a
fact-that in spite OF the resignation of
Republican Governor Of Utah and the
proposal to fill the vacated Office by the
appointment OF Democrat, american.
ism is not dead! Well may the people
of this whole nation exclaim, 1--WE thank
thee, o Tribune, for those words. But fol
this timely assurance, who can tell
what foolish impressions the peo-
pie OF this great nation might
not have imbibed about the
immediate downfall OF all their cherished
institutions and the utter extinction o.
everything smacking OF Americanism
Doubtless this assurance that the Gov
ernment still liyes-even ii it is unde
Democratic administration-will brinl
peace and calm to many IA muchly troubled
soul, and serve to dissipate the people,
foolish fears that the crack of doom but
waited on the TriJune's bugle blast, t.
usher in an everlasting night OF Demo
cratic chaos.

A PAINFUL DUTY

Just as soon as some of our Re-
publican friends can get well settled down
to the conviction that, after all, Eli III.
Murray's resignation OF the Governorship
OF this Territory has not imperilled the
whole interests OF this great nation
to any alarming extent, the DEMOCRAT
will feel called upon to intimate
that there is at least one other gentleman
holding on to Federal office in Utah
with Il grip that would do credit to Il Nor
mon Territorial official, and in whose Of
fetal shoes we think Il good Democrat
would show to positive and most gratify-
ing advantage, We refer TO Arthur L.
Thomas, Secretary of the Territory.
Having due regard for the feelings OF
one or two gentlemen whose nervous
systems received such severe shock on
Wednesday last, the DEMOCRAT does not
care TO be the wanton cause OF throwing
them into such series OF con-
niption fits as might result from
Il vigorous fight at this particular
-liic iOi tIlc TeHlONdI vi MT, lnOlnaS.
In our humble opinion, however, there
are good reasons why Mr.. Thomas should
be given indefinite leave OF absence from
! the position he has SO long and, to him
self at least, so proiitably filled. and we
! believe that it will only be necessary to
make known these reasons where they
will do the most good, to procure from
the President his kindly consent to such
leave Of absence as is here suggested.
4 Oi course, the DEMOCRAT does not wish
to see Mr., Thomas dislocate his neck in
an effort to get his resignation to Wash
ington-indeed he cannot very well be
spared until the vacancy created by the
resignation OF Governor Murray is filled.
But that done, the query will arise, what
use has Il Democratic Governor for
a Republican Secretary? The Tri-
Cune may prepare and publish
Il diagram TO elucdate this point,
but We fear that some half-blind Demo
Gratis would not even then see where the
eternal fitness OF the proposition came
in. We trust, however, that Secretary
Thomas is prepared for the inevitable
shock, and when it comes he will not

col. MERRITT FOR GOVERNOR

Ever since the receipt OF the telegram
announcing the Presidents desire to ac-
cept Governor Murray's resignation,
speculation has been rife as to whom the
President will appoint to fill the office.
The DEMocRAT clings to the hope that
the coming Governor will be a resident
OF Utah, and none other than Col. s. A.
Merritt.
Ii there is to be found in this whole
Territory man whose qualifications bet
ter fit him to occupy the gubernatorial
chair of Utah, we are in blissful ignor-
ance of that party's identity. Colonel
Merritt is bond .fde resident OF the Ter
ritory; he came to Utah many
years ago, and during his residence
here has acquired a thorough knowledge of
all that goes to make up the perplexing
questions to be solved before Utah can be
brought into line as an American Terri
tory in something more than the mere
name. He knows the temper of the
people and the needs OF the hour, and
his justly earned distinction rs one of the
foremost lawyers OF the Territory and the
Coast, is sufficient guaranty that, if APP
pointed, he would not be found lacking
in the essential requisites of firmness,
tact and discretion in the discharge of the
duties that might and would devolve
upon him.
Colonel Merritt is staunch Democrat,
and for thirty-five years past has been
known as such by gentlemen now resid-
ing in this city. In the earlier days oi
California, when the legislative bodies o.
that State were composed of men many o.
whom displayed abilities which earned
for them the distinction OF real states
men, Colonel Merritt sat in the Legisla
ture an honored member thereof, and en-
joyed the esteem and confidence Of all the
intellectual giants OF his party with whom
he was necessarily brought in contact
Later on he represented the Territory o
Idaho as Delegate to Congress, and il
that capacity earned for himself sucl
honors as any man might well feel prouC
Of
Such is the man whom the DEMocRA
desires to see appointed to the guberna
torial chair OF Utah. The great interest
of this Territory would be safe in TIN
hands OF such man, tried and true, a
Colonel Merritt, and we hope that tn
satisfaction which the Democrats of Utal
would receive from the announcement Q
his nomination, will be delayed but fey
days Mt the most.

Pope Leo at Work.

and is probably the only European
sovereign WIZ does not take amatutinal
bath. Then he celebrates mass in his
private chapel-a duty which occupies
barely twenty minutes. During the
next hour or two the pope arranges the
correspondence of the previous day, and
from to 10 gives out work to his pri-
vate secretaries. While thus occupied
be drinks cup of black coffee, and at
10 o'clock breakfasts, the almost invaria-
bic dishes being eggs and fruit, and the
beverage white Frascati wine. From
IL to 70 Cardinal Jacobini is with his
holiness, and from noon until 2 audi
ences are given.
The pope spends an hour or two every
afternoon in preparing the material for

he has had study fitted up adjoining
the Vatican library for convenience OF
access to the archives-for the papal
prison is vast and the distances are
great. The gigantic task will not be fin
ishsd IN the lifetime Of Pope Leo; but
even mere fragment Of it would be of
the utmost value to students of modern
history, since 1t must in the main be
based upon unpublished documents.
The public life of the pontif concludes
for the day with walk in the Vatican
gardens, in which he is accompanied by
bis domestic prelates. The conversation
turns upon the most austere subjects,
and loquaeity is systematically frowned
upon-so much so, says the chronicler
