To tho eight hour svstoin. and that Utah
work must 20 to Utah workmoni and we
dcnounco the bad faith " tho Liberal
party In di-rcguding It's promises In this
respect. We regret the continued
agitation and discussion " past
and dead issues, with tho spirit
and intent Of fostering and maintaining
personal aud party s'rifa and nnimosity
In our midst, ~ detrimental 10 the best
interests aud progress Of our city. We
Wow with alarm the seemingly complete
ascendency Of the Democratic wing Of
tho Liberal party, and TO tho former
ltcpublicans' who still remain In that
party, we extend our sympathy for their
humiliation and bondage.

publican committee that thoy petition
His Excellency, the President OF the
United States In behalf Of tho Republican
party VI Utah that he grant Rmnoity 10
all citizens Of Utah, who have been prior
to the issuance aud approval Of tha
"mnni,osto.n Ia violation u the laws Of
the United Stiios prohibiting poiygamy.
We heartily approve the action Of the
iopublican Territorial committee In
causing tho enabling act known ~ tho
"Toller bill' To be introduced into Con-
gross, and we denounco the so-called
Faulkner Caino bill, with all it, implici-
lions on the good namo and faith NJ tho
the Territory and unworthy the consid-
Grafton or support OF the people Of Utah.
