CONGRESSMAN CRISP SAYS SHAKE
Leading Papers of the Country Interested
Cheering Letter from commissioner
Carlton, Of Indiana.


ocratic company was the sensation not only
OF the city, but of the western country
Sunday and Monday.
Sunday is always great day with The
HERALD, but last Sunday discounted any
other day in the history of the paper. The
news Of the change was rea6 with particu-
lar interest here, and THE HERALD agents
in Ogden, Provo, Bingham, Park City and
the Tintic towns say the paper was eagerly
perused in those places.
Everywhere it was conceded that the
Democrats had taken the greatest step in
the direction OF making the party perma-
nency and giving it solidity, that could
have been taken. Even those Democrats
who think the division on national party
lines somewhat premature, did not conceal
their rejoicings that the grand old party
and Republicans shook their heads and ad-
mitted that the Democrats had been again
just little too smart for them.
Judge Anderson said to a HERALD re-
porter who asked him what he thought Of
the sale, that he considered it
an excellent thing. He thought it wise
move on the part of the Peoples party, or
Mormons, to turn a controlling interest
over to the Democrats. They could, he
SAID, II 1t had been necessary, have given
IHE HERALD for nothing, and reap har-
vest In the good it will do the people in ex-
pounding good Democratic doctrine.
United States Prosecuting Attorney
Varlan said that although he had given the
matter but little thought, he considered the
move an excellent one so far as the Demo
Gratis are concerned. That party needed an
organ, and he remarked that he knew of
none better than THE HERALD. On the
question OF national party organization, he
declined to speak, except to say he thought
the time was near at hand for general d.
vision, if appearances could be taken to
mean anything.
Of course 1T could not be expected that
an event OF so much interest to Democrats
WOULD be very largely spread abroad by the
Repu5 lican agent of the Associated Press.
Several large papers, however, which had
been on the lookout for the movement had
sent requests for specials when the sale
should he contaminated. Among those
notlhed were the San Francisco Examiner,
the Chicago Herald, the Denver Neips, the
Omaha World-Herald and the Boise States
man. Many private dispatches of jubi-
liant nature were sent out, and Mr.. Dyer
and other prominent Democrats received
kilograms OF congratulation all day long
FROM CoNGRE ssMAN CRISP.
! One of the mos notable was the follow
ing from Congressman Crisp, "the coming
speaker OF the house:
AMERICUs, Ga, May 25-F. H. Over. chair.
man, and Hon. John T. Caine-Congratulat the
Democrats of Utah on their enterprise Inform
the people of the real issues between the par
ties, and they will unite with the Democracy in
and the rights of the masses.

JUDGE CARTOONS VIEWS.
Messrs. Dyer, Morrill, & Judd have also.
received the following letter from ex- Com
missioner Carl ton:
423 SOUTH FIFTH STREET.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May 90 1891. {
GENTLEMEN-1 will premise by saying
that an affection of my eyes makes it nee
essary for me to have the assistance of an
amanuensis. My purpose in addressing
you is to express my qualification at YOUR
movement, for the organization of the Dem
ocratlc party in Utah, and also to express
my view of the political situation in rela-
ton to Utah.
Since l left Utah, about two years ago. 7
have watched the progress of events there
with considerable interest and curiosity
because knew that the organization of the
Otu POI biOo SOulu HUb UG long Q6laVe0.
knew also that polygamy had gone into
lnnocuous desuetude, and that it was being
used by certain persons in Salt Lake as q
bette ftoir to brighten the country into
further oppressive and obnoxious measures
against the people of Utah. l had conf
dence that the Democrats of the territory
had sufficient patriotism aud political sa
gacity to take time by the forelock in being
the first to promulgate principles of uolera,
ton and liberality.
During the last eighteen months have
spent good deal of time off and On in
washington, and I have conversed with
many senators and representatives in re-
gard to Utah affairs and l can assure Won
that the condition is well understood not
Wlthstandlng industrious efforts at mlsrep-
resentation.
"At Washington it is known that polyg
amy is dead and that church rule and blood
atonemen3 are only used to scare women
and children.
II think it is safe to say that among the
Democratic Senators and Representatives
IN Congress there is not one who favors
further proscriptive legislation against the
Mormons, and that there is not one but
will cordially approve the declaration of
enunciated by the Central Demo
cratic club at Salt Lake city. The same
may be said of a large number of the Re-
publican members in the Senate and House.
Hoping and believing that success will
crown your efforts, and that truth and ms
uce will prevail, am, very truly yours,
IA. b. CARLTON
