AND OGDEN REJOICES.
The Receipt Of The Herald Creates Whirl
pool Of Excitement.

The receipt of THE HERALD in Ogden
yesterday created the biggest kind Of sur
prise.
The thunderbolt of Democracy which
made the tremendous crash in Salt Lake
the entire territory, reached Weber's
borders and entered hundreds of gladdened
ears.
The action taken by the Central Demo-
cratic committee was the general topic of
conversation among Ogden Democrats yes
terday, and all seemed well satisfied with
the results, regardless of former creed or
party affiliations.
A HERALD reporter in his rounds yester-
day gained the opinions of number of the
more prominent Gentle Democrats on the
declaration Of principles and the resolu-
tons presented at the meeting by Hon.
Thomas Mars hall
L. j. Hudson, pure Democrat of the
Jetfersonian order, was first seen. He
said: II like the tone of the document, and
heartily approve the movement. AS to the
clause opposing the disfranchisemeut of
the Mormons, will say that 1 think it is
perfectly right. 1 never did believe in
general Acknowledgement. To prosecute a
class of people because of their religious
although there are, perhaps, broader heads
than mine that favor it, l cannot believe it
can be made constitutional. The only time
when l believe in Acknowledgement is when
person is convicted of crime. If a man
be found guilty and convicted of dlsobey-
ing any law of the United States he should
lose his privilege to vote, at least for GER
tain period"
SIS it your opinion, Mr. Hudson, that the
tDnm0nratS T q Ep
ture in taking the step they have gu
mo, 1t IS not. There are really but two
great political parties, and there should be
no more in managing affairs other than
local. There should be but two in Utah,
and the sooner we are settled down to the
old political parties the better; it will seem
we are Americans. You can pat me down
as making the statement that the Salt Lake
Democrats did not come out and take the
stand they have too soon, but not soon
enough
Judge r. w. Cross expressed himself as
highly pleased, and stated that section 6
of the resolutions, relating to the question
of disfranchisement, was good law.
Judge Fl. P. Henderson thought it was
grand meeting and favored the movement
in every respect. He was of the opinion
licans of the territory favoring
dlsfranchisement so strongly of late
was merely scheme to make Utah safely
Republican. Otherwise he thought it
could be no other than Democratic
Several other Democrats who were for
merly affiliated with the Liberal party
were seen and every one of them endorsed
the action taken by the central Democratic
committee.
Hon. G. G.. Richards and Judge Thomas
u. Dee, who formerly were leaders in the
Peoples party in Weber county and the
territory, thought the Salt Lake Demo
Gratis had done grand thing in
falling into line at the present time.
They thought the sooner the territory
at large was down to the old party basis it
would take splendid effect in many ways
abroad.
A rousing Democratic meeting will be
held in Ogden soon after the Goth inst, at
which time Hon. W. A. Wilson, of Wash
ington, (state), will speak in tho Grand
opera house.
