TRICKS OF sPIRITUALIsTs.
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 writers 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 paipable 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 So One purported to come
from devout spiritualist at Albany, N.
Y, who had been Impressed" that the
widow could get, by going or sending to
a certain medium in this city, COM
munication from the General deeply
concerning her welfare. Sergeant
Dicken, who, out of mere curios-
ity, went to the address given, found
woman at "A Third-ave who called
herself Madame Burnett. 'My object
was merely to find out how great hum
bug she was" the sergeant says, "and
especially to satisfy myself that I was
right in supposing that she was practic-
ing an original methed of drumming up
custom. The letters to Mrs. Hancock
had been thrown aside, with no second
thought, and 1 had no authority to
investigate on her account; and so
didn't mention the name of Hancock
at all. told Madame Burnett that my
name was Brown, that my wife had lately
died, that had received letter from a
spiritualist in Chicago telling me to come
to her for communication, and that 1
was willing to pay the fee of 81 for it.
She really gave me message from my
deceased wife, though have never mar
ried; but I incidentally found out, con-
clusively, that the woman has arrange
ments with confederates in several
cities, and that these persons write to be-
reaved families in New York in the man
ner that Mrs. Hancock was written to.
The names and addresses are got from
the death notices in the papers. Doubt
less it is an interchange between
mediums, by means of which they make
custom for one another. 1t seems to be
a new and shrewd trick in bogus spirit
ualism. ."-New York Exchange.

NOT THE TRUE REASONS.

The Tribune of this morning prints a
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 req.
reservations which resulted in the dis
patch of 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 APP
pointed, and announcing his purpose to
install them.
1t looks as though the sender of this
dispatch might have drawn upon his
imagination for some of the reasons
which laid at the bottom of the Presi-
dents action. 1t is not true that the
Governor assigned as his only reason for
vetoing the appropriation bill Gas the
telegram states) the failure of the Council
to confirm his nominees, and if he has
announced his intention of installing

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 resident
of Utah, and none other than Col S. A.
Merritt.
If 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 bona 5ide resident of the Ter
ritory; he came to Utah many
years ago, and during his residence
here has acquired 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 as one of the
foremost lawyers of the Territory and the
Coast, is sufficient guaranty that, if ap-
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 a staunch Democrat,
and for thirty-fve years past has been
known as such by gentlemen now resid-
ing in this city. In the earlier days Of
California, when the legislative bodies of
that State were composed of men many of
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-
loved 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 of
Idaho as Delegate to Congress, and in
that capacity earned for himself such
honors as any man might well feel proud
of.
Such is the man whom the DEMOCRAT
desires to see appointed to the guberna
torial chair of Utah. The great interests
of this Territory would be safe in the
hands of such man, tried and true, as
Colonel Merritt, and we hope that the
satisfaction which the Democrats of Utah
would receive from the announcement of
his nomination, will be delayed buta few
days at the most

" 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
a snow-storm ragged in Zion at or about
the time the President intimated his de-
sire to accept Governor Murray's resigna-
tion, 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 slest and snow to envelop the
earth 2aa sbroud." The fact that Old
So has since shown his face in undimin-
isl splendor and converted consider
able portion of that same sleet and snow
into something that looks very like liquid
mud. seems to have been entirely over
lo. ed by the Tribune in its issue OF this
ItOrning.
But what consolation it is to know
and even the Tribune admits it to be a
fact--that in spite OF the resignation of
a 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, We thank
thee, O Ir5t7In Trr those words. But for
this Timely ssurance, who can tell
what FOOLS. Impressions the peo-
pie OF this great nation might
not have imbihed about the
immediate downfall OF all their cherished
institutions and tha ritter extinction of
everything smacklng of Americanism
Doubtless this assurance that the Gov
ernment still lives-even if it is under
Democratic administration-will bring
peace and calm TO ulany 4 muchly troubled
soul, and serve to dissipate the peoples
foolish fears that the crack of doom but
waited on the Triboase's bugle blast, to
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 H.
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 grip that would do credit to Nor
mon Territorial official, and in whose Of
ficial shoes we think 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
a vigorous fight at this particular
time for the removal of Mr.. Thomas.
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 proftably filled. and we
believe that it will only be necessary to
make known these reasons where thev
will do the most good, to procure from
the President his kindly consent to such
leave of absence as is here suggested.
Of course, the DEMOCRAT does not wish
to see Mr.. Thomas dislocate his neck in
an effort to get his resignation to Wash
ington-iadeed he cannot very we'll be
spared until the vacancy created by the
resignation of Governor Murray is filled.
But that done, the query will arise, what i
use has Democratic Governor for
a Republican Secretary? The Iri-
bune may prepare and publish
a diagram to elucidate 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
