was somewhat relieved by the occasional note
from the big fiddle rs the musicians Of the or

ing regularly organized, being in active
operation and conducted along Democratic
lines, you necessarily must be in it or you
must confess you are not Democrats. You

democracy of Utah has spoken in the only
way that it can speak, through its organi-
zation here, and Democrats must obey or
they will cease to be Democrats.
THE HERALD is going to assume that all
Democrats will prove loyal to their party,

Ious Republicans who are cunningly schem-

SILVER.

Inc little furry in silver is significant
IL would not be If il were confined to this
country. Our silver law is such that a
furry in the price of the metal is possible
and probable at any time. Half a dozen
men In Wall street can combine and on
any given day can put up or reduce the
price OF silver few points, and by a larger
combination they can keen the price up or
down for weeks at a time. Hence we say
that furry in the markets Of this country
alone would mean nothing as TO the status
OF the metal, being significant only to the
spectators and the government as buyer.
but when foreign countries interest them
serves In silver as a money metal and
through that interest the price is stimu-
lated the sign is healthy. being suggestive
OF the early restoration of silver to its
proper place in the coinage system of the
world. We do not mean by this
to express the belief that the United
States, single-handed and alone, cannot re-
store silver to its rightful place so far as this
country Is concerned; but if some of the
great European powers will join with US.
the work can be much more speedily ac-
complished, and accomplished without
causing any disturbance in the commercial
world.
THE HERALD believes with Senator !
STEWART that the right kind of silver iegis- |
latlon can be gotten through the coming /
Congress, and we also believe that il can |
be put into the books in spite of President |
HARRISON and the enemies to the metal by
which ne has surrounded himself in the ad-
mlnistration. By the right kind of legisla-
ton we mean a law which will place silver
upon an equality with gold in our coinage
system. Anything short of that will be
wrong; anything less will continue sill
yer as despised and degraded
metal in the monetary sense. a
law which leaves to silver any
Of the elements of commercial commodity.
which encourages or permits the specula-
tive buying or selling of the metal, will not
mend matters, no matter how much or how
little silver shall be coined. We believe
hat If the friends of silver will demand
rec coinage of silver and will refuse to ac-
;ept anything less, they viii get what they
lsk and what the people demand; and the q
United States having restored the metal to
IS position in our money system it will not
'e long before other countriea will follow |.

The excitement mentioned in our tele-
rams bodies well for silver.

plot originates in Chihuahua, Old Mexico.

was the least prominent. He is more Of q
lawyer than a statesman, although his
legislative experience covers nearly an age.
Still, with the exception of a somewhat un-
popular insolvent act and an equally abor-
tive act against bucket shops, his initiation
of legislation has been Of the rarest. Dur
ing the last twenty years, Mr.. ABBOTT has
been identified with most of the CONNER
cial enterprises organized il Ottawa and
served for two years, from 1887 to 1889, as
mayor of Montreal However, the COVER
nor general had very little choice unless he
wished to tender the office to Sir CHARLES
UPPER, most skillful politician whom he
cordially dislikes. AS TO the others. Sir
JOHN THOMPSON, the ablest one of them all.
was practically debarred on account of mis-
religion. He Is Catholic, and as such
stirred up the bitter opposition Of the in
fiuential Orange element in the Dominion,
which the government could not afford to
ignore. The fourth candidate, Sir HECTOR
LASGEvIN, was hampered by charges af-
fecting his integrity.
With the personal weight Of the dead
premier removed aud with vulnerable
premier at the new head of affairs and a
public opinion steadily growing in opposi-
tion to the dominant party, it seems to US
the day for a mighty change in Canadian
politics and history is near at hand.

TO DEMOCRATS.

The Territorial Democratic Central Com.
mittee held called meeting on Saturday,
the attendance being full. The purpose OF
the meeting was to consider the situation
with resp ect to politics and decide upon a
course to be pursued. The committeeman
have all heretofore trained with the Lib
eral party in whose ranks they have
worked with more or less earnestness and
enthusiasG-worked in he r.y sympathy
with the party to accomplish the objects
which the party set out to achieve A
change has been coming over this commun-
ity for some time past, and the
Democratic committee met yesterday
TO consider what il would be best
10 do in the light OF that change. The
situation was viewed carefully, and ac-
count WAS taken of what had occurred here.
The gentleman found that such change
had taken place as TO make the Liberal
party no longer a necessity. They found
that polyganly. the practice Of which had
been the chief occasion for the birth of the
Liberal party, had ceased TO exist and been
forbidden by the Mormon church; they
found that the Peoples party, the political
organization to which the Saints belonged,
had been regularly disbanded and had gone
out OF existence its members uniting with
those parties whose principles of govern
ment agreed with their own; they found |
that the Liberal party no longer mad mis- |
sion, there being nothing for it to oppose
and NOBODY against whom it could make |
legitimate war. Having seen all these
things, what was the committee to do. But
ONE this. and that was DONE The com
