The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-12-25

"Manifesto' to be as explicit on the subject
as is claimed. Those in sympathy with
the movement profess establishment that
anyone can now offer objection, and with in
temperate zeal hasten to Genounce those who
fail to follow on division lines as enemies
to the progress and people of the territory.
This condition of affairs is not without
precedent. Kansas and California, each in
It's day, was disturbed by a similar strug-
gle, although the causes were not the same.
In these cases the question which divided
the territorial people, was whether the
proposed state should be free or slave? In
each case the question was finally resolved
by the sentiment of the American people
expressed through Congress. And so, in
my judgment, will the fate of Utah de-
pend upon the opinion and belief of the
great mass of the American people. 1 do
not believe that any party can bring Utah
into the Union until the people of the
whole Union give consent.
The political situation here has attracted
the attention of the country for years, and
the feeling is deep-seated and general that
theocratic religious government, with
temporal and political tendencies, is a
menace to free institutions. This is the
opinion of the Liberal party, and that it is
the conviction of our people is evidenced
by the laws they have enacted. This con-
viction, the result of years of observation
cannot be removed in day by simple
professions of faith. The fitness of the
people to regulate their domestic concerns
through state sovereignty will, in my judg-
ment, have to be demonstrated by conduct,
not words.
No one questions the sincerity of the
Mormon people in their faith, nor their de-
votion to their religious leaders and
teachers. Nor is their sincere desire tt
take upon themselves state government
doubted. If they are required to continue
yet on probation it is not the fault of the
American people, The condition in which
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-12-25

the right to the accomplishment of correct
results.
Let the people of Utah, and mean the
whole people, lay aside and forget the I'M
pleasant memories of the past and join
hands in patriotic effort to improve the
present: and the political condition of Utah
well as surely mould itself into complete
as the clay in the hands of the potter
moulds into beautiful urn that holds the
sweetest flower of them all.
As to the question of the political future
of Utah, think 1 have already answered.
Allow me to say one word further. l am
so thoroughly Jeffersonian in my make up,
that my confidence in the people to do right
when properly informed is so much part
of my life that it has never failed me at
any time or under any circumstances.
If the people go wrong, and they some
times do, they can always be depended
upon to set themselves right.
1t is impossible that the majority can stay
wrong long at time.
The American citizen is essentially con.
sentative, and hence slow to change.
Herein lies the strength of our institutions,
but change he will when his judgment is
convinced.
l believe that the promise of the political
future of Utah is indeed bright, and will
continue to brighten as her citizens come
together in patriotic sympathy and harmo-
monious action.
Yours truly,

development of the territory. While the
People'e party has been struggling to main
tain local self-government, the Liberal
party has abridged the political power of
its opponents by obtaining proscriptive
legislation and extra-judicial administra-
ton The existence of polygamy among
the Mormons and the alleged domination of
church officials in political matters have
been the nominal causes for this unusual
warfare
For years the Mormons were assured
that the contest would end whenever they
abandoned the practice of polygamy, but
no sooner had they yielded that point than
they were assailed by the cry of church
and state coupled with a demand for the
dissolution Of the Peoples party. When
that was done and the Mormons allied
themselves with the great national political
parties, there remained neither justifica-
ton nor excuse for the further existence
of the Liberal party. All the concessions
it had ever asked were made, and the only
possible preteXt that could be urged for its
continuance was the insinuation that the
Mormons had not acted in good faith. This
false charge has been made in every con-
ceivable form, from the pulpit and the
press, as well as from official sources, but
no proof has ever been adduced to sustain
it. None can be produced, because the
people were sincere in what they did.
Their whole history repels the insinuation
of punic faith. If deceitful, they would
have made these professions long before
and spared themselves the terrible ordeal
through which they have passed. Besides,

church was not the accomplishment of this
result, but simply the announcement of a
foregone fact.
Then, if the church is no longer to de-
fend, being no longer the subject of attack,
how can it, in the nature of things, hold
and use the political action of its votaries
any more than any other churchs and
what is there to prevent the people from,
in a short while, compromising all this
and acting accordingly Indeed, it may be
pertinently asked: Where is the motive
upon the part of the church to be found to
control the political predictions of its
votaries any more than any other churcha
All this the people of Utah are beginning
to thoroughly understand. The Mormon
people are neither illiterate nor ignorant,
but on the contrary both bright and recep-
tive. More than this, they are a virtuous
and well-intentioned people, who have the
courage to follow their convictions.
And why should they not!
If my conclusions are correct, the politi-
cal condition of Utah will be in the future
what the people make it, and of course the
"present condition will continue'' as long
the people choose to continue it.
1t must be remembered that in the break,
ing of one social and political system, and
the establishing of new one in its stead
| there must of necessity, during the period
of transition, be more or less chaos. This
can not be avoided. But the capacity OF
the American people for self-governmeni
can always be depended upon to bring Or
der out of chaos, and their virtue and pa
triotism will always impel them to follow
