UTAH SENATORIAL QUESTION.

OF course the question as to who
shall represent the young state OF Utah
in the senate for the first term is up
permost in mems minds. They may
talk and write of other matters, but
all men know that their minds turn to
the one absorbing question. The peo-
pie of Utah, both democrats and re-
publicans, want to know that these two
gentlemen as well as the congressman
can be relied upon when the struggle
comes up in congress on the Question
of the remonetiz ation OF silver. Who
are the men2 Who can we name who
possess the qualifications of utter re-
liability? What men have we who
cannot be bought or bull-dOzed away
from the support of silver? We have
the men, and so great is the import
ance of this matter to Utah, that, albeit
we have been democrat from the
earliest moment of our being. yet we
say it. truthfullY if we could be brought
to believe that there was republican
who was more reliable and who could
be better trusted than a democrat, we
would not hesitate to support him. SO
great is the momentous issue of silver
RECOMMENDATION. We cannot daily, nor
can we consult personal or other pre-
ferences on this subject. We must
have men who can be relied upon as
we rely upon the granite cliffs in our
mountains. We must select these and
elect them. We dare not daily or fool
with this question. We must find the
men and GO for them and stand until
success perches upon our banners. 1t
is free silver restoration at l6 to l. Let
the man be as black as eyer was man
from Dahomey or as purely white as
CIrcassian ever was, if he is strong toT
silver and can be fully relied upon, he
is our man, We know what its dire
surroundings are. This has been en-
tailed upon us by the policy of the re-
publican party which in its hour
of full power, spoke the word which
brought this whole intermountain re-
gion to the depths of poverty. VIII we
not now, that our opportunity has
come to DO stroke of manly work, do
for silver and in way which will
qixa-Aasise A1rUUer memories of common
woe?
We would suggest as one of the men
G Utah who can help US, not only by
b. nasterful ability but by his lofty
G. arecter and real and true devotion to
great cause, tt Hon. Moses
atcber of Logan. What proud day
Wou.l be for Utah and for the friends
G. s-.~a- hen we could announce that
he vss ols choice Of the legislature for
one u olr senators. This announces
ment would send thrill of joyous
hope 6h.ough every patriotic heart in
the new state, either Mormon or gen
tile, democrat or republican. We do
not know what the views of the party
are, buG We do know that such an elec-
tion will settle the fact that Utah is in
the column for RECOMMENDATION to stay
until it has been decided.
The other gentleman we have to |
name, albeit not native, is fully |
equal to Moses Thatcher in all the ele-
ments of his devotion to silver and
generally to Utah-We ailude to Judge
of Salt Lake. An able,
;lean, strong man, a patriot and
me loving the brave new state of
lis adoption with a loye as ardent
md as powerful as any son to the
manor born. Able, brsYe, DEVOTED and
rue. We feel that in naming Judge
henderson We but name the popular
hoice. Think of the team, Thatch II, {
henderson and King. 1t will sweep
nd when it is elected, no state in ell
be broad west will have better or !
tronger working team for silver. Now il
It US all settle on it, and see that 1t y
