Zion, and he expresses great pleasure il
finding such city this side of the grea
range. He halls from Indianapolis, the
home of President Harrison, but be is nor
OF the same political party as the execu
tive. In speaking of the approaching cam
palgn, he says that the Huosier state is
safely Democratic. "As goes New
York, so goes Indiana" has be-
come campaign refrain, bu-
whether the Empire state rolls up the
national Democratic vote or not for the
Chicago nominee, Indiana will be found in
line.
Hendricks and Mcdonald are gone, but
oright, active and reliable leaders are moi
lacking. Whether there will be favor
lite son'' or not matters but little to the
state II called for, one can 6e furnished u

Gray, an able statesman, bright, broad
gauEed ana thorough good fellow as well
as skilled politician is 10 be found.
All Is not serene for the E. o. p. at the

heard to render thanks some time ago in
these words: Thank heaven Russell H

there would be no hope of continuing the
family IN power.
Mr. Burnham says that Indiana will &C
20 me national convention at Chicago tc

Mr.. DeWolfe is an oid-time resident of
Utah, and was formerly engaged here in
me practice OF law in partnership with
Mayor Is. n. Baskin. Six years have
elapsed since MIR. DeWolfe last visited

since that time, and is of the opinion that
Salt Lake is to become great commercial
business and manufacturing centre The
natural gas wells will prove to bs a great
boon to the people OF Zion. Judge DeWolfe
is an ardent Democrat, and of course is a
nrm believer in tho principle of govern
ment Of the people, for the people, and by
the people," He is one of the leading
lawyers OF his chosen state, and was for
merly associate 1urtice of the supreme

teated. He is an agreeable gentleman and
IS being warmly greeted by old friends.
lie was the guest Of DR.. Allan Fowler at
the Alta club last night. Judge DeWolfe
VIII remain in Salt Lake several DAYS.
lie Will be remembered by all the cold
timers" as one Of the earliest gentiles who
settled IN the territory, having first come
here IN 1858. He remained here a few
years and then removed to California but
IN 1868 returned to Salt Lake and prec-
uced law for about ten years. Among the
early journalistic ventures of the territory
was the one known as the Vallev Tan of
which the judge was editor and promoter
The naming Of the paper came about
IN this way; the first thing made bv the
settlers was leather, which was called
valley tan;" the first distilled spirits
were likewise called valley TAM" and
y hen this PAPER was started il followed
the name as embodying the full idea of a
home production of a representative char
acter that had durability and spirit.
To a representative OF The HERALD he
said that he had seen many changes. but
none were SO marked as the revolution
which has taken place in public opinion
and the growth Of civil and religious tolera-
ton.
AS to the question of division upon party
lines, be said that when q whole people
make solemn declaration as to a course of
conduct, 1t should be accepted in good faith
until their acts prove the contrary. In ac
ceptlng the declaration Of the church au
thoritles on the long contested question and
the act of the Peoples party in disbandinr,
the members of the two national parties
acted wisely and the best results can Init
TOW from this course.
