We have met pursuant to published re-
quest for the purpose of organizing u Dem
ocratic party for this great aud growing
Territory. There has been here for many
years an apparent Demo cratic organization,
consisting mainly of Territorial and ounty
committees, kept on foot not tor work an
"a L,,A
de and to aid and facilitate the p ogress
and prosper ty of the Republican party.
That nv p0criLical and insincere Organlza-
ton, which was ever ready to charge iusin
cerity to others, has now collapsed, really
abdicated, and lett the field to others. Al
it's late convention held in Proso, it went
ever in q body to the Republican party. and
its interests. 1t attemL ted to cover its
movement by taking the name of Liberal
Du gentlemen, II Is enoug Il that 1t Is dead
and its mangled corpse was viewed by al
those present The life and history of the
deceased has not been one for pleasan
recollections. Its creation and Inception
was never intended for good to Democracy
and twas faithful to its creation. 1t began
its worst acts of tyranny and iuto erance al
Ogden last June. Many persons who Tor
years desired Identification under Demo-
cratic organization were ,ruthleSsy- eXclud-
ed: they would nave let THAI go, bat within
Il few weeks another blow was aimed at the
death of Democracy in this Territory But
under whatever name, they deserted De-
mocracy. We have, therefore, virgin
field in which to dig AID plant. In this
Territory the elements are pronitious in
which to nourish Democracy. Let US see t
1t that pure Democratic seed is planted
leaving out, as far as possible, the noxious
weeds which have so long infested the pc
litical field of Utah." .---- ..s. 49,
