TO ORR FRIENDS.

1t is not, we imagine, violent as
sumption that our readers generally
desire that the influence of this paper
should be extended. To all such we
make the suggestion and request that
they take every proper occasion to add
10 our circulation. Every one Of cur
readers is capable of exerting influence
more or less extended. This influence,
if exerted on proper occasions and with
proper persons, would secure to us the
field to which, with becoming modesty,
ne feel we are entitled. There is no
paper in the inrer-mountain region
superior either in quantity or quality
to The Salt Lake Herald. Its competi-
tors, under wholly different circum-
stances and in other days, secured a
circulation among men who are in SEN
timent IN perfect accord with this
paper, but who through the prejudices
of the past still feel constrained 10 read
newspapers whose utterances they
daily condemn. Such men need to he

word in those quarters will add to our
influence and viii thus promote the
interests of good government in this
region and in the United States.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

There is plenty of time to, prepare for
the election Of delegates to the conyen-
ton which, under the enabling act, is
to frame a constitution for the State of
Utah. The proclamation for if has NOT
yet been issued by the Governor. IT
will not occur before next November
Every male citizen, twenty-one wears
or age, who has resided in the territory
one year, will be able to vote for dele
gates to the convention.
There ought to be no partv strife
over the selection Of the men to form
that convention. What is wanted is a
sound, conservative and yet progressive
instrument which will secure to all tbs
inhabitants of the state their fulI
rights and privileges, irrespective of
creed or party. Tt should be as brief
as shall be found compatible with per-
spicuity. There ought TO be nothing
ambiguous in it. The most excellent
provisions of previously framed consti
tutions here and those Of the existing
states, ought to be embodied in. the
Utah organic law.
The delegates to the convention
should be men of sense and experience
They should be chosen from different
pursuits. Some who can put words
and phrases fifty together, others who
may not he learned in language but are
proficient in practical knowledge and
are wise in their generation. A few
lawyers, talented and able Will be nee
essary, and representatives of COM
merce, agriculture and labor.
Politics, in the sense of party.
should be a subordinate consideration.
1t would not perhaps be a good thing
to have all or nearly all of one political
party. But that ought not to be the
overshadowing issue, as some would
like to make it. OF course if that is to
rule in one part of the community.
strife will be provoked and the other
part will endeavor at least to hold its
own. But the great object in view is
the framing of a constitution which
viii have an equal bearing on all the
citizens of the state and of which every
inhabitant may be proud
A year from next November There
will be an election in which the politi-
cal parties will strive with all their
might for the mastery The officers of
the state, the state legislature, and
in Congress will then
be chosen, and it will be IN important
and pivotal struggle. But a partisan
fight over the constitutional conven-
ton will be unnecessary and premature.
This will, TO doubt, form a subject
of discussion at the territorial oou,yan
tons of the two political parties. There
should be mutual understanding upon
it among the leaders of both, and
there are to be party tickets
in the field or not, the great, chief over
purpose should be to send to
the constitutional convention the men
who viii be best fitted for the import
ant work to be done. The welfare Of
the state must be the prime considera-

THE HOPE OF SILVER.

Yesterday we reviewed some recent
Republican declarations on silver, but
those declarations were so ambiguous
and unsatisfactory, that we recur to it
again today.
The one interest of the west on which
all parties unite is silver. 1t is perhaps
the leading interest, and on it depends
the prosperity of all other interests. 1t
may be described as the great
nerve force imparting strength and
vigor to all the rest, and when it lies
PROSTATE they keep it company.
When the League of Republican clubs
convened in Denver, it was hoped by
JAN the friends of silver, irrespective of
political affiliations, that strong and
unequivocal resolutions in favor of free
coinage would be adopted, but. they
were not, and in their place was formu-
lated a set of resolutions that were
surceptible of almost any interpreted
ton, and could be commended and
explained to the gold monometallist
the bimetallist, and the free silver men.
The delegates from this territory to
that convention failed to realize the ex-
pectadons of those who sent them: the
party exingencies of the east were al
lowed to dominate the highest material
interests of the west.
The sentiment of the Denver conven-
ton is the sentiment of the Republican
party. During last week Republican
conventions met in Illinois and Iowa
and both adopted resolutions on the
silver question.
1t would be strained Interpretation
that could get out of the Illinois resol,1-
ton anything more than to let silver
remain where it is. But the Repub-
licans of Iowa are not more specific
in their declaration regarding silver.
The resolution adopted at DesMoines
is as vague as the declarations made
at Denver and Springfield
What the people of the west want to
know is what is intended by these
resolutions on the silver question. IT
is very well for the Iowa Republicans
to declare they are in favor of the
largest possible use of silver as money
that is consistent with the permanent
AAletiiltdliduCe OI equal values OF all
dollars in circulation Do they con-
slider the present use of silver all that
is consistent with the permanent main
tainance of equal values of all dollars
in circulation? Or do they consider
that the use of silver should be re-
stricted or enlarged? To be in favor
of silver and still be reticient about an
increase or decrease of its use is to beg
the main question
What the people of Utah, Idaho,
Nevada, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming,
and the whole west want, and will in
sist upon, is the use of silver to the
fun extent of the needs of the country,
and they find only one way to adj
equately express this want and that is
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer. There is no ambiguity in that
and it is not capable of two interpre-
tations
For the realization of their desires
regarding silver, the people of the west
can look to but one source, and that is
the Democratic party That party has
always been the friend of silver and it
finds more friends in the Democratic
south than in the Republican east

POLITICAL NOTES.


Murray Walters. of Butte, is in
Washington, and has been talking of
politics in his state. To a Post re-
porter he said:
1t is pretty hard to tell now just how
things will turn out. 1t all depends on
Marcus DAILY. People may ralk as they
please about the chances of this or
that party in Montana, but no party
stands a ghost of a chance of success
unless DAILY favors it's victory T keeps
his hands entirely out of the contest.
In the latter event the result is al
ways doubtful, with the chances Dem
ocratic in case there is no family
squabbling going on. 1 am inclined to
believe from present appearances that
DAILY will throw his influence in favor
of the Republicans this year. If this
is done you needn't be surprised very
much to see Wilbur F. Sanders and
Thomas j. Carter take their seats in
the upper branch of Congress.

Some folks are trying to raise a cloud
of dust over the sprinkling decision
greater than that which they say will
envelop the city as a consequence of
that decision. It is just as much part
OF the duty Of the city authorities to
sprinkle the streets as TO repair the
streets. If funds can be used for the
latter they can for the former. The
whole sprinkling business-the ordi-
nance and the manner Of its enforce
ment has been wrong and unfair to
the taxpayers and was very properly
sat down upon by the court.
