SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.
TTAU IS REPUBLICAN.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In your issue OF November Is you have
dispatch from Salt Lake city stating that III tan
has gone Democratic" and that the Utah Legis
lature was Democratic. This Is not true. The
Utah Legislature is Republican in both houses
The upper house stands seven Republicans and hve
Democrats; the lower house. fourteen Republicans
and ten Democrats. Two years ago the Legislature
was wholly Democratic the Republicans did not
elect one member This year the result Is different
The change of sentiment here Is great. as shown
by the returns In spite OF the threats made by
the Democrats that to vote the Republican ticker
was a vote against Statehood. and that II Itah
went Democratic Statehood sure. the people
elected a Republican Legislature and said by their
votes they did not want statehood II they hau 10
swallow the free trade heresies of the Democratic
party. | hope you will give this space in your
valuable paper as the Republicans Go not WISH 70

will be a Republican State. "a. >. PINE

siderably. report was circulated some time ago
that Captain Coleman was about to be ordered
before an examining board. and another report
