looks to or operates in leYying taxes
Tor the benefit of any one class at the
expense of any other, but we believe
that the primal idea of all taxes should
be revenue, and that confined to the
needs of the government economically
administered.
.''5-We are opposed to any legisla-
ton tending to build up monopoly, as
the result is to make rich the few to
the hurt of the many, and we believe
that the rule of government should be
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der; special privileges to none; equali-
ty TO all.
"6-We are unalterably opposed to
the diSfranchisement of any citizen
except for crime, whereof he shall
have been first duly convicted.
I've are unalterably opposed to
force and fraud in the conduct of
elections, or to any interference with
them by eXtraneous powers or means.
The constitution of the United States
should not be vitiated by makeshift
legislation to facilitate party advant-
ages.
1.-The foregoing we believe to be an
embodiment of the true principles of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES government
which find their expression in the just
Interpretation of our constitution; and
we most cordially invite the people of
Utah, without regard to previous poll
tical affiliations, who are Willing to
subscribe thereto and abide the action
of the Democratic party in its organ
lied capacity, to join with us in our
effort to build mp a party in Utah in
sympathy and harmony with the De-
mocratic party of the nation.

president Of the Central Democratic
Club of Salt Lake county, Utah.

WHAT is SAID OF IT.
Immediately upon the Herald pub,
fishing the above, representatives
If that energetic paper were set tC
work soliciting the views of the promi.
nent men OF Salt Lake City upon the
subject. Here are some that were
published:
COLONEL T. G. WEBER,
Superintendent Z. G. NJ. l., said: -
regard the movement as important
and opportune. The time has evil
IDENTIFY come for the patriotic citizens
of Utah to take some part in national
affairs and show where they stand or
the great issues of the day. The reso.
buttons adopted by the central Demo
cratic Club are, in my opinion
such as any true Democrat can eli.
dorse. They are sound, liberal and re-
gardful of the rights of the people
without reference to class or creed
They sustain the nation in its legiti.
mate powers and preserve the rights
If the respective states. They are
strictly in accord with the constitu
zion and | think they will secure The
support of all genuine Democrats il
the Territory. Tie day is past fol
quarrelS on mere local issues, and all
classes should unite for the general
welfare, while each man takes his own
ground on national politics. | believe
the movement will succeed.
JUDGE ELIAS A. SMITH,
cashier of Deseret Savings bank: The
ItSOluUlOllS dNlOplONt NY lllO CClhOCl IL
club are sound to the point | APP
prove of the same and regard the
movement as opportune, and when
followed up by the organization of a
party, us contemplated in the resOlu-
ion. Will be the most important politi-
Cal move which has taken place in our
Territory. | think the time has AZ
rived when national politics should be
introduced in our TeiritsrY and The
local parties laid on the shelf. | have
no doubt but that the move will sue
coed.
DR.. FREEMAN
was, perhaps, the most enthusiastic
Democrat in town. The doctor had
been holding himself in by sheer com
preston and when the Democratic
club let the cork out he efferveSced
like bottle of champagne, or rather
porter, with thick black froth. 1T
is going to take the people by storm. >
said the doctor. THE people want
something to tie to. The Liberal
party was going down by its own
weight. [ could hardly get down
town as everybody was congratulating
me. 1t will divide Mormon against
Mormon, gentle against gentle, and
harmonic every factional difference
in Utah. In the future it is not going
to be Liberalism and Mormonism, but
Democracy and Republicanism. | told
Pat Lannan yesterday, You've got to
do something and Pat raved.n Being
asked: Are there many Democrats
among the Gentiles?" the doctor said:
"a great many men came here to suck
the public teat, and for that reason
they are holding the prominent places
and appear to be stronger than they
really are, but when you get down
among the masses you will find as
many Democrats as Republicans. Oh,
| have it in for them," exclaimed tie
doctor exultantly. when President
Cleveland was elected they refused 10
let me have the national flag to cary

been here for nine years and know
what | am talking about"
Speaking of the subject the Times on
Thursday night 4:
The Times believes that the great
feature which has heretofore controlled
all action here has been virtually
wip4do out. Since the peculiar insti-
tuition" that has made Utah so promi-
nent before the world has been
eliminated from tn problem, so far as
the future is concerned, by the action
of the church, the question is veIv
much simplified; and this feature Of
political conditions as they exist to.
