"a VICTORY FOR UTAH
President Hubbard on the Result Of the
Election.
The Liberal Party Should Be Dissolved
and Its Members Divide on
National Lines.

| Since the election or Tuesday, there
| has been much speculation as to what
course the Liberals of this city, which
is the only place where the party has
any organization, would pursue The
overwhelming sentiment among them
favors the abandonment of the organ
ization here, and square division on
party lines.
w E. Hubbard, president of the
chamber of commerce, was seen by a
Herald reporter yesterday, and when
asked how he viewed the result of the
election from Liberal standpoint, he
replied:
ut was not victory for either party
so much as a grand victory for Utah.
1t has created much better feeling on
all sides than if either the Citizens or
Liberals had elected their entire ticket.
The Republican gains throughout the
territory show that the people have
divided on party lines and that they
are sincere. I am heartily in favor of
the Liberal party doing the same The
result of this election has added to
Utah's undeveloped resources, and one
which is essential to the general pros
perity of this coming great state-the
united efforts of the entire people,
What do you think is the outlook
for business the coming year?"
salt Lake and the territory gener-
ally has a very bright prospect for the
year 1894, and for continued prosperity.
The first of the year, or very soon
thereafter, will see our immense cop
per plant in operation, and the devel-
opment of many additional copper
mines. 1t will have the effect of slim
ulating the mining industry"
"In ninety DAYS the Portland cement
works, which will have a capacity of
from $50 to 300 barrels of cement per
day. will be in operation. Another
railroad will connect the coal fields
at Coalville with Salt Lake city and
reduce the price of coal very mater
tally, which will be another inducement
for manufacturing enterprises to center
here. The Southern Nevada railroad
from southern California, will be built
into southern Utah during the next
twelve months. It is nearly there now,
and what has been built is in operation
and doing a paying business. This
vii open up other large coal fields, iron
copper, gold and silver mines, and de-
velop another rich agricultural and
fruit growing section in Utah Much
additional land will be used for beet
growing, which is a very profitable
crop. Utah asphaltum is receiving a
market in the east, and that industry
is rapidly increasing. A very rich gold
camp is being developed a short dis
lance from Salt Lake city, and others
in other parts of the territory, and last.
but not least, our superior fruit and
agricultural lands, together with our
climate, unsurpassed in any part of the
United States, is attracting the atten-
ton of people everywhere. Many peo-
pie through the middle and eastern
states have been prejudiced against
Utah as a desirable place for homes.
They do not know the real conditions
now existing here. The excellent pub
lie school advantages, colleges and
seminaries. music and painting. I
firmly believe there is no other part of
the country with the same population
where there is less crime than in Utah.
and why should it not be a desirable
place for homes? By united effort we
can start big immigration of home
seekers and men of capital to Utah,
and continued prosperity will be the re,
suit"
