w. VAN CoTT.
The day is dawning, sure.
COL. t. G. WEBER,
Superintendent q. G. M. l., said: ~ re-
gard the movement as important and oppor-
tune. The time has evidently come for the
patriotic citizens of Utah to take some part
In national affairs and show where they
stand on the great issues of the day. The
resolutions adopted by the Central Demo-
cratic club are, in my opinion, such as any
true Democrat can endorse. They are
sound, liberal and regardful 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 of the
respective states. They are strictly in
accord with the constitution and 1 think
they will secure the support of all genuine
Democrats in the territory. The day is
past for quarrels on mere local issues, and
all classes should unite for the general wei
fare, while each man takes his own ground
on national politics. l believe the move
ment will succeed.

hear the slogan and I'm thinking.
JUDGE ELIAS A. SMITH,
cashier of Deseret Savings bank-The
resolutions adopted by the Democratic
club are sound and to the point. / approve
OF the same and regard the movement as
opportune, and when followed up by the
organization Of party, as contemplated in
the resolution, will be the most important
political move which has taken place in our
territory. 1 think the time has arrived
when national politics should be introduced
In cur territory aud the local parties laid
on the shelf. have no doubt but that the
move will succeed.
MR.. DAVIDSON,
Democrat every time, and that platform
echoes my Democracy.

think that it is all right and should
nave been done long ago, and it looks to me
that If it is followed up by the organization
of party at once, the Democratic party
Will be pre-eminent, the dominant party of
Utah.
WILLIAM W. RITTER.
approve of the platform as laid down
by the club, and would like to see Demo
cratic party organized under it and fight it
out on that line.
SPENCER CLAwsoN.
think it is the proper step, and have
thought for long time that it should be
taken.
MR.. GIBBS,
of the TimeS-The day has come
for which we have been so long waiting.
It's great.
HENRY TRIBE.
The time is ripe for all these changes.
Let them come.
s. W. DARKE,
an old-Iine Democratic is just right. The
territory has outgrown the old fight and
the old parties. Let the parties divide on
national lines and the people viii naturally
divide, though the big majority will be
Democrats I'd rather see them Republi-
can, however, than see them keep up the
old fight.
WILLIAM FULLER
thought the Peoples party would not be
alive il the Liberal party were dead. eff
both die, then Pm for Democracy
JAMES A. WILLIAMS,
Attorney, 314 and 315 Progress building,
said he was not present at the meeting of
the Democratic club on Tuesday night for
the reason that he was absent from the
city, but he heartily concurred in the action
taken by the club. Mr.. Williams said that
the declaration of principles promulgated
by the Democrats on that evening, if closely
adhered to, would ultimately make Utah a
great Democratic state.
DIR. BENEDICT.
Eve been waiting for years to have lust
such thing as this materialize. If they're
in earnest, and don't see how they can be
otherwise, they'll find plenty of support.
Pm glad it's come, and 1 think we're all
ready for it.
W. J. TUDDENHAM
One of the men who was elected to the
city council by the People, and is kept out
by the Liberals. I'm Democrat if Pm
and those principles have the
right ring about them.
FRANK Y. TAYLOR,
Of Taylor Bros, real estate-I think it is
all right and the proper thing and one look
ing to the betterment of the political stu
alton.
LIE GRAND YOUNG.
l have read the enunciation Of the Demo-
cratic Central club and it seems to me that
its principles are such as any real Demo
crat should endorse and as l am one of that
class heartily approve the same.
NEPHI W. CLAYTON.
Just the thing; exactly suits my views.
The Acknowledgement clause is eminently
proper and timely. Being a Democrat. I
am heart and soul with the platform and
expect to work for it.
5. A. KENNER.
l regard the Democratic pronunciamento
as the new Declaration of Independence.
1t requires men of courage, sometimes. to
do what Is right and consign the past to the
past; the three dozen of the Jackson club
had the courage to do right and believe
they have the determination to 'stay with
it." The Liberal party goes to pieces and
the Peoples must follow suit. II is a great
event for Utah.
