John ]. holland, a patrolman on the
city police force, was shot early this

up to a week ago. was employed as a

Patrolman w. b. Wild tells the follow

leading up to il:
About midnight last night Goodlake
fred his pistol as he passed the square.
holland heard the shooting, and started to
arrest the man who created the disturb
ance. He followed Goodlake to a house
on Brick street, and there arrested and
searched him, finding no weapon on his
person. Subsequent event S, however, indi-
cate that the pistol was given to him by
some one before he left the house.
"Goodlake came along quietly, and
holland brought him into headquarters,
W here there was fire, it being Noland' S
| intention to guard Goodlake until morn
| ing, disliking to lock up an old member
| of the force.
"Goodlake had been drinking tor some
time. After sitting in headquarters for
while, he asked holland why he did not
lock him (Goodlake) up. He repeated
the question, and holland arose, saying
as he did so, that if nothing else would
| do he would lock the man up.
Il turned to get the lantern and heard
a pistol shot. Looking around l sa W
Goodlakc on the floor with a pistol in
his right hand, and holland on him

A suggestion From The . H. &.

EDITOR THE rIzEN:-Seeing an ac-
count Of our little Scottish gathering in
your edition of the 10th inst. has en-
couraged me to send the facts connect ed
with the Asheville and Thermal Belt
railway.
1t was organized here in the mountains
and the charter procured from the last
Legislature on February 10, 1891.
Since that time had no success in my
efforts to raise capital North until my
last trip, which occurred lately when sue
ceeded in inducing responsible COMPANY
TO make the following offer, "v1z": That
if the counties through which the road
would run would subscribe the sum of
5000 900 dollars, to be paid after the
| road was built and the cars running on
| schedule time, they would begin to build
the road at once.
Anyone looking over the map will see
| at once the advantage this would be to
| Ashevillc. 1t would probably stir up our
Tennessee neighbors to extend the road
| on to Bristol, making a through line
from the Seaboard to the West. Ashe-
vile will soon be in need of the fine
| timber and building stone of this uncx-
plored section, and the 100000 horse
power of the Broad river that is now
| wasted, would be utilized in wood work
| ing and other industries and give en-
| pioyIuSHI " opening vi
| some grand scenery to the tourist, as
well as the health restoring climate OF
| the Thermal Belt.
| If the citizens of Buncombe county
| would subscribe 100000, we, in poorer
| counties, will do our share 1t would be
done by 3O-year bonds, and the taxes
on the railroad would nearly pay the
| interest.
l write this with the hope that yor
| will use your influence to wake up the
people to their hest interests.

the Importance to our party and to
the territory of electing a Democratic
legislature. This we have set forth re-
peatedly. but there is danger in this
city that insufficient attention shall be

that overspreads their Liberal oppo-
nents. will down their enemies and

ever the gratitude of the entire Demo-

is BE a DEMOCRAT?

What kind of Democrat is that who
when an important question is at
stake, votes against the interests of
the Democratic party? There is a
member of the Utah commission who
has always acted as though he was
pulled by Liberal string. AS the
Liberal faction wanted him to spring,
so has he usually jumped. Take his
whole career on the Commission and
his influence seems to have been
thrown on the side of Liberalism and
Republicanism rather than of Democ-
racy. Yet he does not like it to be in
timated that he is not Democrat.
1t may be said the Utah Commission
is not a partisan body. Well, it has
always been partisan body. When
the Republicans have been in power,
three of their party have been placed
upon it, making a majority When the
Democrats have been in power, it has
had three out of five supposed to be of
their party. But whether craftsmanship
has been intended or not, it has been
locally partisan in practice. 1t has
been, with some Democratic excep-
tions, Liberal to the core
Take its history almost from the be-
ginning, and instead of giving the
party in the majority at the next pre-
ceding election two out of three of the
judges of election, according to the
spirit of the laws under which they
were sworn to act, they gave two to
the minority, and deprived the major
ity of any participation whatever in
the registration of voters.
We do not intend now to rake up all
the injustice and favoritism and aid
to Liberalism which meant fraud and
the robbery of citizens of their polit-
ical rights. That is past, let it go. We
wish merely to express the disgust
that is felt by hundreds of good Dem
ocrats at the course pursued by one
member of the Commission who is sup
posed to belong to the party. He
could be counted for the other side as
against his Democratic colleagues
whenever an important issue was
raised.
1t is the. same at this juncture. He
has been smoked out of his hole and
made to show his position in the mat
ter of judges of election for this city,
and if he is vexed because The Herald
questions his Democracy, he can ask
the opinion of the hosts of Democrats
who are now loudly calling for his re-
moval from the place in which he has
usually favored the enemy.
President Cleveland is very conser-
vative and likes to stand by men in
Office unless something definite is
urged against them. He was advised
as to this matter some time ago but
seeing that the Commission can only
last for a little while, he did not make
change in this case. If there is any
likelihood of the Commission taking
part in another election, we should
say by all means let the removal take
place, and give us a Democrat to vote
with the Democrats as the law in
tends.

THE OVERWHELMING ISSUE.

Some of our Republican friends %
do not like The Herald's remarks on
the necessity of having a Democratic
legislature in view of the movement
for immediate statehood. Singular,
how mems minds change when their
personal or party interests appear to
be affected!
Last fall the Republican idea was
that their party would sweep the
country. With some of the most ard
ent among them the idea that Cleve-
land could possibly be elected was the
very hight of absurdity. Their plea
was then, Utah wants statehood. If
she is largely Democratic there will
not be the ghost of a chance for her
admission, for the Republicans, who
have heretofore opposed her. can only
be placated by the probability that her
people will become Republicans in poll
tics. Therefore we must have more
Republicans
The expectation was not realized.
The country, aroused against high tar
iff, the burdens upon the poor the eff
fects of Republican misrule, arose in
revolt and Democracy cleared the
decks and won an overwhelming vic
tory Today the Democrats hold all
the departments of the national gov
eminent. Utah can gain nothing ex-
cept by Democratic action and Demo-
cratic good will. The Republicans are
powerless for good or i'll SO far as Utah
is concerned. Is not the doctrine of
expectancy as good in regard to Demo-
cratic favor as to Republican friend
ship?
The Republican plea of last fall was
based on great expectations which
proved but a bladder of wind. The
Democratic argument now is founded
on facts. If it was wise policy to take
a course last fall which was considered
favorable to statehood, is it not just as
wise now when it is known to be so?
The position is this: Utah has been
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-10-29

understood right along to be Demo-
cratic in politics The fact was demon
strated on a straight issue at the last
election. II, by unwise movements she
should now present to the country the
spectacle of Democratic minority in
the legislature, how would it look to
the party which alone can crown her
/ with the diadem of statehood? 1t
would show that she is changeable and
unstable, and the Democrats who are
working for her liberties might well
hesitate as to continuing their labors
in that direction The story of Colo
RADIO would speak loudly as a caution
and Utah might be left out in the cold.
What would be gained by it? Liter
ally nothing. The Republican party
can do nothing for US if its leaders had
the viii. # they have any affection for
Utah now it is a new sentiment. What
ever of hostility remains against Utah
in Congress burns in Republican bo-
SONS, But they cannot block the way
to Utah's freedom. A Democratic
House, a Democratic Senate, and a
Democratic President are too much for
them, and Utah can go into the Union
| if she does not bar herself out by
changing her politics.
These reflections are for our non
partisan friends, particularly. Dem
oerats are alive to the situation.
Republicans can see the point but in
their rabid partisanship some of them
are working for party as against the
interests of all parties and classes.
But to people who want TO vote for
the best interests of Utah regardless
Iof party, we say the statehood ques-
ton is the overwhelming issue.
The only solution to our local troub-
les, the only settlement of our diff
culties. the only means by which per-
manent prosperity can be assured is
statehood. The tariff, silver, the other
and smaller points on which parties
differ are all subordinate to that It
cannot be gained without Democratic
influence. it cannot be had with Re
publican influence if gained at the ex-
pense of the Democracy.
Measures should be taken in every
precinct in the territory to get every
Democrat to the polls on Nov. 7. AL
so to provide all voters of every kind
with the Democratic ticket. This
struggle is deserving of big effort.
Elect your Democratic candidates to
the legislature. Show that Utah main
tains her allegiance to the great ma
tional party now in power, and before
another territorial legislative election
should take place, Utah will be
clothed with the robes of local sover-
eighty and wear the coronet of a free
and mighty commonwealth.
