APPEAL 10 the "INDiAN BRAVES"
The Judge then read the following
appeal 10 his "lndian brRves:"
To tho Democrats OF the Nationi
In Wow Of the fact that a few i,opubll-
cans and Democrats Ia | All have apan-
doned tue Liberal party and Joined with

scouting more ban twenty-five hundred
Gentle Democrats In Sill Lake CITY
alone and nlne-tonths of tho Gentle
Democrats OF tho Territory, feel that We
owe IL W ourselves that We state our POSI-
ton TO the country.
In national oli.ics We arc Democrats.
our political gods are Jefferson aud Jack.
son.
We bolloyo In the perfect Justice OF
exact equality before the law Of all men
We believe IN tile omnipOtCncc OF Tree
ballot; We believe In local solfgovern-
meni; We believe In the personal respon-
sibility Of every citizen.
Hut, deeper still, We believe tho defense
OF country aud the keeping pure her in
htitulions involves u duty higher than
any party, higher even than the claims
OF human affections. Wa believe every
true Democrat has devoted hi- life 10 his
county and that his lirst allegiance Is
bpyond his party aud belongs entirely to
his country.
So believing, In Utah we have waived
for the time our party preiudices and we
adhere to a party that asks no questions
except, sis man Ia the highest and hol-
lest sense AN American citi1en?"
Our reasons arc that We are In tho
midst Of an organization that far out
numbers us, which organization, more
than forty years ago, WAS driven out Of
state alter state because of It's dlsloyalty
and reared TO manhood and womanhood
awhole generation OF descendants aud
held thom under that same iron rulo
until they ubsolu oily had no conception
Of the principles of the American Hcpuh-
lie, until they had no thought OF giving
their first allegiance W their country, un.
Ill they saw no wrong In dobasing the
American ballot to the dlctniiOn OF u re-
Iigious creed which was likewise u civil
government.
Asa sound duty to country and In self
defense, true mon long ago banded them
selves together here and opposed the
inereiless rule OF this alien power.
That brought peace 10 the Territory nj
last, peace and such prosperity as had
never been known before, and anxious as
we arc to Heo all contentious cease, and
SEQ our fair Territory advance 10 state
hood, we hold II as n sacred duty to keep
intact our Liberal organization until such
time rs the Mormon thousands have Civ
en- full proof OF the sincerity Of their
Amoricanlsm,
knowing the situation here thoroughly
We demand Of Democrats abroad who do
not understand 1t. that they shall permit
us TO adhere 10 tho ancient Democratic
doctrine Of homo rule, and keep their in
huence whore II will do no harm.
Whatever comes, we serve notice that
we do not propose to be read out Of tho
national Democratic patty simply because
wo do not feel that the time has come TO
place the political power VI this Territory
within reach ola church. Tho Democracy
Of the nation should keep lis hands oil,
and let us light out our own salvation.
