in the appointments which have
been made Of actual residents of the

native to she soil of Utah, a policy ala

In throwing open to settlement the
Uintah and Uncompahgre reservations,
by which a vast area of tillable, graz
ing and mineral lands will be utilized
yby white labor and skill and be added
to the wealth of Utah.
In passing an enabling act by which
Utah may enter the union as free
and sovereign state, on an equal footing
with the existing states, For this Utah
owes a debt of gratitude to the demo
cratic congress and president, whose
kind treatment of this territory stands
out in striking contrast to that harsh
ness and enmitY extended by republi-
n. can congresses and administrations for
thirty years.
j We are proud OF our delegate to Con.
gress. Hon. j. l.. RaWliDS, to whose
fidelity, perseverance and splendid
political tact and energy the numerous
measures of legislation SO beneficial to
Utah have been obtained. His unpar-
alleled success has demonstrated to the
people of Utah that they made no mis-
take in sending him to the national
legislature, where he was recognized DIS
the peer OF his associates and man of
mark and ability,
We denounce the republican party
for its obstruction to those remedial
measures demanded by the country to
vescue trade, industry and business
om the chaos into which they were
drifting through republican legislation
and misrule.
For attempting to foist the blame
upon the democratic party for the ef-
tects of republican maladministra-
tion
By the decentralization of silver and
The unconstitutional and partial sYs-
tenn Of class protection, the masses of
the people have been impoverished, the
agricultural and laboring classes OPP
pressed, and the land disturbed by the
riots Of dissatisfied workmen, and the
cries Of the unemployed.
We point to the only republican leg
islature of Utah as sample of the In
competency, partisanship and folly
which that party would exhibit If
placed in power in the new state.
Gin attempting to deprive the public
schools of one-sixth of the revenue eS-
septial to their support; refused to
grant necessary funds for the univer-
sity, the agricultural college and other
public institutions of an educational
and reformatory character; tried to APP
propriate large sums Of public money
as bounties for favored private indus
trlesi did make expenditures for which
no revenue Was provided; drafted
memorials to congress containing errors
of fact and fallacies in principle; re-
sorted to evasion of duty and political
trickery which were disgusting TO on
ing stock 10 the public.
We appeal to the people of Utah to
adhere to the principles of the party
which has endured since the nation
was founded, and to see to it that the
coming state shall rest upon the broad
foundation of those doctrines which the
father of democracy promulgated.
We demand that the constitution of
the new state shall be framed on
nonpartisan basis, shall provide for the
equal protection of all law abiding citi-
zens,
We demand that economy shall rule
In all branches of the public service;
that public money shall be expended
only fer public uses; and that no class
of the community shall be specially
favored by the state to the detriment
OF any other class.
