THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.


A Republican paper published in an
Idaho town undertakes to instruct the
Legislature of Utah on what it should
do in the election of United States
Senators, and names one person about
whom it thinks there should be no
question, but who should be chosen
by common consent" It says:
utah will need brains in the SEN
ate; she will need eloquence in the
Senate; she viii need tact in the SEN
ate; she will need commanding per-
sonality in the Senate. *Utah will
need a great silver champion in the
Senate"
Now. all that is very good. Those
qualifications will be readily recog-
nized as essential to a! representative
Of the State of Utah in the most au-
gust legislative body in the world. The
first choice Of the new State will be
recognized as sampling its intelligence,
character and legislative ability. The
very greatest care should be exercised
in the selections, and all Utah will
judge its servants in the Assembly by
their action in this important matter.
But, strange to say, after all those
preliminaries the Idaho paper urges
the election of a person who has not
one of the qualifications which it says
are needed in a Senator from Utah.
We do not wish at present to partic-
ularize. But in general terms we say,
without hesitation, such a choice would
be burlesque on the senatorial situa-
ton. 1t could be shown that the per-
son thus named is in every respect the
very antipodes of the kind of being
who should represent the bright, pro-
gressive, vigorous, silver State of
Utah.
Is it possible that the Idaho paper
has mentioned that name by way of
joke. or to head off any serious move
ment its owner might make in his own
behalf? If so we think it as much out
of place as the article itself is, copied
into the columns of our morning con-
temporary. If it should be brought
forward in earnest-which we hope.
for the credit of our Republican friends.
will not occur-we may have some
thing more direct to say as to the utter
lack Of the qualifications in its candi-
date, which we agree with the Idaho
paper are necessary in a United States
Senator from Utah.
