A COLORADO Judge holds that q M o
A DISAPP0INTMEN

The meeting in the Federal court
room last evening as not all that those
who hoped for satisfactory action de-
sired; to put II palmer and in few
words, it was decided disappointment
The thought was apparently upper
most in the minds Of many of those
who participated that this olive branch
would be extended and all shades OF
opinion within Democ ATTIC lines be re-
cleveland welcomed 50 long as certain
indispensable conditions were adopted
all around. Those who expected such
a state of affairs were, as previously
suggested, doomed to disappointment
The Apache spirit obtained control
and the same old scalping knife that
has been u sed here from the first was
now and then fourisaed in tbs am
bient atmosphere. This is positively
sicksning, because, had the COED sense
and ths bette. part of the meet
ing prevailed, as we firmly believe
was Intended, the hotheads and
irreeoncilables woulI have been placed
under the cushion and sat upon.
Judge Powers made good speech to
start the thing going, and followed it
up by reading the constitution that had
been drawn up. 1t was then decided
that all who wished to subscribe to the
document AMI thus become enrolled
might do so and it would then be
adopted by sections. This was, of
course, strictly Dem ocratic-have PEG.
pie subscribe to and thus endorse set
of principles, and then generously give
them the privilege of oiscu ssing their
action afterwards If they oppose aay
part of it they commit seif-strltifica-
ton, and il they d. not oppose it tie
merely conform to the rule of con ue
previously laid down for them By their
preceptor5! And yet this same
gentry profesI to oppose this
kind of thing when, as they say. s
prac.iced by the Mormons, and hold up
their hands in holy horror at the faint
3 suggestion of any mans condu
b ing prescribed or arranged for him.
All this might be overlooked but for
the monstrous insult that was offered |
The majority of the party in this Terri
.ory in asking that portion of them who
we're present to subscribe to the plat
form adopted at Ogden in May last. a
'ew were weak-headed enough to be de-
uded by the specious verbiage Of the
remainder If tn, document, but the |
wiser ones were not to be entrapped in
any such way and would have none of
It. With them, Remember Ogden"
IS now equivalent to Remember the
Alamo" a generation ago.
There really can be no su III thing as
! Democratic party in Utah fully
equipped and thoroughly united
while such men as those who con-
troled the Osden convention have a
front seat at every gath sring. TIE man
who there announced in substance that |
no man could be Democrat without |
bsing an athe:s stated last evening that
'thers might be some difficulty about
finding Gentiles to fill the places on !
committees in some of the precincts,
showing that he at least lad not re
pented: and one of the candidates for
the presidency of the club is q man
whose opposition to Mormonism and
ths Mormon people amounts aimeg to
rabies; and yet, without that elemeng
the Democratic party of Utah would {
be he most decidedly wasp-Nais:ed
AT il that yer was organized.
