: In this arralgnmenC we include those

probrium upon the judges and insult
upon the militia and the conSta bulaIy,
while those officers were engaged IN
preserving the public peace and seek
ing TO turn back the tide of poverty
which was flowing into the territory.
We deeply sympathize With The dis

ployed working people of the country,
and particularly OF those who are
uwelleTS in our territory. We deplore
the policy winch has brought into our

they do not mean the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio |

ton of the money problem and the only |
genuine blmetailic policy.
We denUunce the national republic
can party: Fer its false pretenses of
sudden regard Tor the people of Utah !
against whom in its platforms and by
extreme legislation it indicated intense
hostility from Its inception. Its simu,
lated affection is co incident with the
appearance of possibility of republi
can support in the territory, and that
its support was the only cause OF its
new attitude. Ii is the unselhsh tend
erness which the spider feels for the
fly,
We denOunce the only republican leg
islature OF Utah territory: For its
waste of pnblic time and money in
vain endeavors to manufacture party
capital.
For its opposition to the educational
interests OF the territory, by refusing
to appropriate sufficient funds for the
agricultural college and to carry on the
university according to the provisions .
Of tn law creating the institution and
requiring the establishment of neceS-
Sary departments, and also by endeav-
Oring to cripple the public schools in a
scheme to take away part of the rev
enue necessary to their support and d.
vert 1t for the purpose of giving bOun- ,
ties to benefit private enterprises.
For striving TO commit the represent
atlves Of the people, IN memorials to
congress, to gross misrepresentation Of
fact and egregiOuS blunderS in princi-
pie.
For defeating legislation which would
DE for the general Interest but not ia
vora bic TO republican adYan .ement.
For making appropriations, after re-
fuSiDg 10 give necessary support to the
educational instI utions and the deaf
mute, reform school, insane asylum and
kindred institutions, and neglecting
TO provide sufficient revenue to meet
the appropriations inconsiderately
made,
The spectacle of republican legisla-
tors running away In not haste to avoid
an issue which they had raised them
selves, evading the officers sent to ar
rest them and hiding until a republican
could be assured, thus stop
ping the progress of public business in
the upper house of the legislature and
that body into public con-
tempt, was scene unparalleled in the
annals of our country, and exhibits
The republican party in an attitude of
;owaTdlce and absurdIty.
The republican legislature showed
more bombast and less capacity, more
earslmony and smaller economy,
greater partlsanship and narrower
than any other legisla-
i've assembly in the history Of the ter
,ltory.
We endorse the action of Governor
Caleb w. West in the inteTpOsitiOn of
5he veto power vested 10 him by law,
TO prevent the enactment of VICIOUS
and partisan measures and insulting
and misleading memorials by which the
republican Legislature would, but for
his action, have injured and disgraced
the territory. And we recognize in
Lhe governor firm, discreet and able
executive, whose influence has been
cast on the side of law and order and
-he public welfare generally.
We confidently appeal to the citizens
Of Utah TO stand by and support the
party of the constitution and the peo-
pie, from which alone political redemp-
5lpn can come TO this territory and per-
nanent prosperity to the nation
which will demonstrate the superiority
