PRESIDENT FREY.
The New swias Executive and sketch o.
his Career IN West Virginia.


Captain E. Nj. Frey, who was elected
to the Presidency OF the Republic Of
Switzerland only few weeks ago. was
well known in this State. He was a
Un:on soldier during the war aud an
Intimate friend and comrade OF General
Nathan Goff. OF Ciarksburg. NOW
United States Circuit Judged.
There Is an Incident In which Captain
Frey's life connected with prominent
West Virginisn. that is we'll worth tell
ing. At the battle OF Gettsburx. on
July 90. Co. General Golf. Captain Frey.
Lieutenant Parey (ex-Saate Auditor OF
Illinoisl. Captsia w. J. Robb and one
other were captured by theconfederates
taken TO Richmonk and confined ia
Libby prison. They were held "a host
ages for certain prominent confederates
who were prisoners in the hands Of the
union forces.
All five were con fined in what was
called the BLACK Hole" bur on the
Goth OF August all except Captain Frey
were released. Captain Frey was held
as q hostage for Captain w. +. Gordon,
formerly citizen OF this State. but
then a noted Confederate officer. Cap
tain Gordon had stolen through the
lines g visit his wife, was In Clarks-

as spy. Captain Gordon's brother
add family were Union people. aud
they made every effort TO save the life
OF their son and brother. Through
their petitions and the assistance OF
United States Senator Van Wrinkle, OF
West Virginia. President Lincoln at
last consented TO reprievs Gordon and
hold him only as a PASSOVER or war.
The reprieve came very nsSr being
too late. for tho firing party had drawn
up and Gordon had hidden all good bye,
and was being conducted to a position
In front OF his e1ecutioners, when the
telegram notifying the commandment,
OF Gordon's reprieve arrived Two
minutes later, perhaps less and

two lives would have been sacrificed,
for had Gordon been shot in less

would have been Immediately executed
in retaliation. Thus, by saving the life
OF a brave young Confedate soldier,
President Lincoln, through his elem
ency, also saved the life of q future
President OF a sister Republic.
Shortly after the reprieve OF Captain
Gordon Captain Frey was paroled. lie
left the country aud few months later
returned TO Switzerland, where he went
into the newspaper business. He was
made Minister TO the United States aud
held many responsible and honorable
Offices up TO the date OF hts election 10
the Presidency, but he never forgot his
many friends in West Virginia. and has
not been forgotten by them.

remarkable man, whose election 10 the
highest Office in the country's gift is
not at all surprising to those who know
him in this country.

WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.

The Washington Post of the 18th inst
says:
There was movement on foot
in Utah to have the constitutional con-
vention a non-partisan affair, Delegate
RawlinS having led the more conserva-
tive citizens in an effort to bring about
this contamination. But a great deal
of opposition developed among the
strong partisans of the new state. and
the whole project has fallen through.
Therefore, there will be a strong fight
between the two parties for the control
of the convention and consequent
power to gerrymander the legislative
districts. For the artist in gerryman-
dering Utah presents a good field, on
account of the contour of the region
The Post has probably struck the
keynote Of the Republicans cry for a
Republican constitutional convention.
Gerrymandering is their peculiar forte
The Republican Utah Commission made
a lot Of shoe-string electoral districts in
this territory, for the special present
benefit Of the Liberal party and the
prospective benefit of the Republican
party it's local successor. AS the Utah
Commission will so out when the State
comes in, the same old gerrymandering
outfit want to fix a new apportionment
and districting in their own interest.
That fact, coupled with the great anxi-
ETY. manifested by the Republican party
Of Utah to saddle upon the new state
the bounty burden, whereby public
money may be diverted to private
uses, by which. wealthy corporations
and greedy Spectators may take grabs
at the state treasury, by which the
party of trusts, protective tariffs and
bonuses to capital may be retained in
power through assessments on the
wealth they have poured into the cof-
fers of the corporations, makes it i'm
perative on the people of Utah to see
that such party shall not have con-
troll of the convention and the shaping
of the constitution TO further their fell
designs A majority of Democrats
should be sent to the constitutional
convention. that the true purposes of
government may be maintained in the
new state, and that economy and pop
ular government may be maintained by
provisions that will restrict the legisla-
ture from extravaganza and class leg
Iislaion. This is of the very gravest
Importance. And we warn the voters
OF Utah against the Republican scheme
to capture the state, and open the way
to that extravaganza and favoritism in
Utah which have blotted the record of
the party so blackly in its national ad-
ministration.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-08-25
THEY MADE NO MISTAKE.

To heir some OF our Republican ora
tors and read some of our Republican
newspapers, one might suppose that
the voters of Utah in 1892 were the
chief factors in the election of Presi-
dent Cleveland and a Democratic Con-
gress. They are asked sometimes If
they do not feel like. kicking themselves
for voting the Democratic ticket, con-
sidering the hard times that have fol
lowed. The hard times cry has about
exhausted itself, so we will pass that
by.
We remind our friends throughout
the territory that they made no mis-
take in 1892. They elected Joseph L.
Rawlins as Delegate to Congress on
the Democratic ticket They did not
and could not vote for Grover Cleve-
land and they had no voice in the af-
fairs Of the nation. Probably they
would have remained in the same relp-
less condition for a good many years
to come, if they had made a mistake
and elected a Republican Delegate to
a Democratic Congress.
Does any voter who east his ballot
for Mr.. Rawlins regret his choice? Is
there any citizen OF Utah who will
squarely say mistake was made in
sending that gentleman - Congress?
Could anybody have done more than
he has accomplished? Could airy Re
publican, no matter how talented, have
succeeded with a Democratic admiris-
tration as he has triumphed?
Men who taunt the voters of Utah
with what they did in 1922, must be
devoid OF ordinary sense o. destitute of
common veracity Did they rot do
well in choosing the Democratic can
didate? Look at his work! Contem-
plate the results of his brief but active
career in Congress-! We DO not wish
Ito disparage in the least the faithful
and excellent labors of his predecessors
or undervalue their sowing which went
before his reaping. But candid people
Of all parties and pcrsuasions speak
openly Of his remarkable successes and
appreciate the good things which Utah
is rejoicing over as the results of his
personal work.
We would have nothing to regret if
Utah had been the balance of power
which turned the scale for the Dem
ocracy in '92. On the contrary, we
would consider it cause for rejoicing.
We anticipate effects to the country so
plainly beneficial from the reforms
which the Democratic party will in
augurate, that the attempts of Repub-
hcans to belittle them via be regarded
in their true light, and will fall back
on their own heads to sink them still
lower in public estimation. But Utah
did nothing for national Democracy in
90 except to send Rawlins to Congress,
and for that they ought TO congratu-
late themselves and thank God they
didn't make a blunder
