CONSTITUTION "YES."
Stand Taken BY the Utnh County
Democrats.

PROVO, Nov. 1.-The Democratic
INFLATED and issued a set of resolu-
tions today and sent them throughout
the county for publication. The adj
dress is as follows:
Whereas, Some lily advised person
or persons are flooding this county
with circulars representing that taxes
will necessarily be increased on the
admission of Utah as a state thus APP
pealing to the selfishness of voters to
induce them if possible to vote against
the constitution; and.
Whereas, The truth is, that if on
admission our legislature should adopt
measures to secure the munificent do
nation of about eight million acres of
land granted with statehood, the pres
ent overburdens of taxation will be
very largely reduced: and.
Whereas, The developments of the
last few days have demonstrated the
wisdom and propriety of reconvening
the Ogden convention, and the princi-
pie involved in that action is in a fair
way to be definitely settled to the sat
isfaction of all honest men and lovers
of Utah, and the action of the Demo
cratic convention has been fully vindi-
| Gated; and,
Whereas, The people OF Utan nave
been for more than forty years asking
earnestly for admission to the Union
and the long desired boon of statehood
| is now within reach; therefore, be it
Resolved, In the name of human
freedom and true progress, we earnest
| ly call upon every Democrat and al
! lovers of this country. of all religion:
and political faiths, to vote for the con
stitution at the coming election.

A THOROUGH BUSINESS MAN.
NJ. e. Mulvey Should Be Elected to
the City Council.

The writer is one of those who in
common with every Salt Lake enthusi-
asst, sings words of praise and COM
mendation of this city and valley when
temporarily sojourning in sections far
removed from this, and we'll may we
do this. We put behind us many thou
sand of miles every year in travel and
thus mingle with people of distant
states who are anxious to learn some
thing of Salt Lake City. 1t is a pleas
ure as we'll as a duty to infinitely de-
scribe and particularly dwell upon the
many and varied features that go to
make this a great commonwealth. 1t
can safely be said that, in q, number
CT instances, even my lone and feeble
endeavors, set off with the fires of en-
thuSasm and that strong consciousness
of just representation in the premises
when eXpatiating upon our wonderful
resources and magnificent future seen
ahead, have been the direct means of
bringing here capital and staunch bust
ness men to further add to our COM
mercial supremacy.
L remember well that when in Dallas,
Tex, for a period of ten days, about
two years ago, | there met and by dint
Of argument, induced a solid and rep
resentative business man to leave a lu-
crative and growing business, and come
to Salt Lake.
That gentleman came on here and
| found things as / had pictured them.
He saw here an ideal city. He believed
| it had great future before it. He
was willing to make this his home and
! invest every dollar of his capital here.
He returned to Dallas and at once
closed out his holdings there. and both
the business and social element of that
city bade him goodbye with regret-he
| had grown in their esteem and they
were 10th to have him go from them.
He made this city his home, and es-
tablshed a business here that called
for the investment Of a good many
thousands of dollars. He has continued
to add to it until his business has more
than doubled, thus proving him to be {
man of good executive ability, and re-
garded as one of the solid business ner
in our midst.
| In time the people rendered him the
nomination for councilman, such ten
der coming from them on the merit:
and good business qualifications Of the
man; they also realized that the inter
ests he would studiously represent il
the council, was deserving of some
representation, as such interests con
tribute largely, very largely, towards
maintenance of our city government.
He should be elected to the position
not from political. but from business
principles That is according to my
conception of things, and [ tender sucl
advice gratuitously and in the way of +;
surprise" to the gentleman I shall
name.
That name is M E. Muavey.

Middleton, Tanner and Christian
Entertain a Large Audience.

PARowAN, Iron Co., Oct. S1--The
Democrats held a rousing rally last
evening in the tabernacle. which was
we'll attended by Democrats and Re
publicans alike. Some good band Sc
iections and appropriate singing was
interspersed during the evening, add
ing greatly to the enjoyment of all.
Hon. G. W Middleton, the Demo-
cratic nominee for representativ ;, was
first introduced to the audience, speak
ing an hour and half on the finan-
cial question and the record of both
parties on silver. By his sound doc
trine and extreme fairness the people
are thoroughly convinced that he is
Iron county's proper representative.
Hon. r. r. Tanner, from Beaver, be-
gan his remarks by declaring he was
no orator, but that honor was accorded
him before he completed his BILE dis
course on the tariff and local issues
Judge Christian, from Beaver. merely
said that as the hour was late he
would not detain the audience, but
should he be elected as district judge
he would administer the law regardless
of party influence.

MAYOR BAsKIN ON TRUMBo.
Thinks the Colonel the Peer of His
Purity CNmpe titOrs.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov 1. 1895.
To the Editor of The Herald:
! In the report of my remarks made
last night, your reporter quoted me as
saying that, %He Colonel Trumbo)
hasn't got up in stake meeting and
confessed that he was an outcast and
promised to reform"
Your reporter inadvertently no doubt
in this respect misquoted me. I made
use of no such language. What L did
say in this connection was this: He
Colonel Trunbo) is man of good
moral character. He is not drunkard
nor a reformed drunkard. He has not
taken the Kelley cure. He pays his
debts and his family connections are
of the highest order, but notwithstand-
ing this, because he aspires to the po-
sition of senator, his own party jumps
upon him like ravenous wolves and
.rend him. though he is the peeY of any
of his competitors. Only when stood
up by such men as Rawlins and
Thatcher does he fail to pass muster
in senatorial qualifications. Respect
fully, R. n. BASKIN.

Sloan and McCune.

FILLMORE CITY, Oct. S1.-H. F.
McCune and r. w. Sloan spoke upon
the principles of Democracy this even
ing to full house. Mr.. McCune, NOM
inee for state senator from the Eighth
district. asserted his loyalty to De-
mocracy and its choice as senator's
Thatcher and Rawlins. In matters of
general interest he said he would be
non-partisan. r. w. Sloan in an able
manner punctured the theories of c..
E. Allen on the silver question. and
showed beyond a doubt that the only
hope for silver was in the Democratic
party. He also spoke on the tariff and
bounties, showing that it was not tar
if and bounty laws that governed the
price of labor and products, but sup
ply and demand. He made brief refer
ence to the records of the two par
ties in Utah and urged the necessity of
a division of church and state. the
Ladies' Glee club furnished the music
for the occasion.
Mr. Sloan spoke in Scipio on the
evening of Oct. 80 and will address the
people of Deseret tomorrow evening.
