YORK, Penn. June 5. 1891.
My Dear Mr.. Game:
Your dispatch dated 9th alt. reaches me this
morning, forwarded from the Ebbitt House.
have not been in Washington since the ad-
lournment Of Congress, except for one day. /
am truly sorry that / did not receive it
promptly, since nothing would have given me
greater pleasure than to have telegraphed my
hearty congratulations
You are taking the course in Utah for which
] have always hoped and which L have more
than once earnestly advised. That it will pro-
duce immediate and great benefit for the peo-
pie, have no doubt in the world. And Iremain
as ever. your friend, CHAUNCEY +. BLACK
We ask the people of Utah in general,
and especially the Democrats who are yet
lingering in the Liberal organization, to
carefully read the above letter and then
ask themselves if they cannot see what it
means. That mighty Democrat, GROVER
CLEVELAND; that other mighty Democrat,
DAVID B. HILL; other mighty Democrats,
among Them Chairman BRICE, Of the Dem
ocratic National committee; Senator
GRAY, Representative MILLS Senator
VOORHEES,, Congressman CRISP, and
many more whose kind and
encouraging words to the Utah Democracy
have appeared in THE HERALD, have
heartily approved what has recently been
done here in the matter of disbanding the
old parties and organizing along the lines of
national politics. Everything these great
leaders have said has been full of encour-
agement and has inspired the local workers
with courage and spirit of determination
TO go ahead in the grand cause for the tri-
~ oh har Tod
But nothing which has come has been
freighted with more meaning to the Utah
Democracy than the above brief letter. 1t
will be remembered that Chairman BRICE,
of the national committee, was among the
first to recognize and applaud what had
been done, and he followed his telegram
with letter, in which ne said that the
active direction Of the national Democracy
for the next few months would be in the
hands of the National Association of Demo
cratic clubs, of which CHAUNCEY f. BLACK
Is chairman. And here comes MIR. BLACKS
letter, which speaks for the Democracy of
the United States, and tells us that we
have done well, that we have done what
should have been done, and that we will
have the recognition, the encouragement
and support of the national party.
Do the local Democrats who are hesitat-
ing and hating know what this meansl 1t
seems to US that the meaning is so plain
that it cannot be overlooked. The Utah
Democracy as 1t is now being
organized has been recognized in the most
pronounced and uneauivocal manner by
the national organization, and it is the only
Democratic party in this territory which
will be recognized by the national Democ-
racy. 1t will be heard in the councils Of
;he national party and will receive assist
lnce and support from the great party.
Under the circumstances, gentlemen, can
you afford, as individual Democrats, to hes
itate and hang back! Wilt be consistent
with your political professions to suIk and
refuse to come ins And above all, can you
afford to pose in the attitude of making war
upon the party to which you profess ale
glance and with which you must unite if
you ever act as Democrats in this territory!
