THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

While the good people of Utah cannot
help the Democratic party of the nation
with any votes just now, their sympathies
are with their political brethren through
out the union. Democratic victories
elsewhere are greatly enjoyed here,
where the political interest is as
keen as in any part of the country.
Because OF this lively home interest
and because Democratic triumphs else
where will mean better government for
Utah. THE HERALD readers will be pleased
to learn that the Democratic prospects
this year are generally bright and promis-
ing. r. Q. MILLS, the eminent tariff re-
former and a probable speaker of
the next House of Representatives,
has been doing some campaign
work in Iowa, where the contest
has been regarded as very close. He is
now In Washington where he recently sub
mitted to an interview, all through which
he expressed absolute confidence in the
winning ability of his party in Iowa.
Among other things he said: "BoIEs is
bound to be reelected and the Democrats
will carry everything in Iowa. The people
there are very much worked up, dissatis-
he'd with the results of loEg Republican
rule. BoIEs is popular with all classes and
will get good many Republican votes. A
number OF well-known Republicans told
he that they would vote for him. They
are going to repeal the prohibition law. 1t
does not prohibit but 6lsturbs business,
and the people are generally disguised with
4 nnArnf1nn in cold i,,a n,t 80
the law, and the efforts to prevent its sale
only lead to constant conflict"
There was more in this strain, and com
ing from an intelligent observer fresh
from the field it will give encouragement to
Democrats both in and out of Iowa.
Another distinguished Democrat of ma
tionsl repute, Senator VOORHEES,, has been
travelling extensively in his own state,
Indiana, and Ohio, mixing with the people
and learning as to the popular sentiment.
He tells the correspondents that the Demo
cratic prospects in these states are ex-
ceedingly bright. In Indiana the Demo.
cratic party was never stronger and more
harmonious than now. On the other hand,
the Republicans are sadly broken
up with national contentious. The
administration receives very little
support that is not cold and formal, the
great majority of Hoosier Republicans feel
ing that the President has been trying tc
run the administration for the benefit OF
himself and personal friends. VOORHEES,
thinks that HARRISON will be reuominated
because the President "has learned well OF
the men and measures which will contro
the Republican nomination next year. He
! has aided all he could in giving the fatnes.
Of the land, the hard earnings of labor, tx
the plethoric, well-fed monopolies of thu
,, country. A robber tariff, with the fraud.
ulent and humbug attachment of recipro.
city, has been rolled as a sweet morse
under his tongue, while the dangerous ant
revolutionary force bill met with his warm
est and most determined support. F'o
these reasons, with some others that nigh
be added, he will be renominated by hi
, party, and for these reasons, also, he vii
be defeated by the American people,
The senator says that Gov ernor CAMP
BELL, in Ohio, stands an excellent chanc
for reelection, the farmers and woo
growers having turned against McKINLE
because of the failure of his promises re
,garding the prices of his products to com
true. The falling off in the price of woo
: under the operations of the McKINLE
= law is a serious matter to Ohio woo
growers who have hitherto been such ran
: protectionists, contributing vast sums G
= money to the Republican campaign funds
Altogether, the Democrats have reaso
to rejoice. If they carry Ohio and low
;, this year, as they now expect to do, the
will have a walkover for the presdenc
next year.
