ELECTION.

The most satisfactory result of last
week was the election of Theodore
Roosevelt as Governor of the Empire
state. 1t was a triumph of the people,
place a young man about whom inter-
est centers as II who may lead the
people out of some of the tolls that nov
ensnarl them. People believe him to be
honest; they know that he has courage
enough to carry out the right Is he
may see the right: they believe he has
all the instincts of a leader. and that he
is a patriot. Among the young men in
sight there are very few whom the peo-
pie can turn to with a thought that
within them are the elements of a
Blaine or a Clay. They have a thought
that Roosevelt may possess those ele-
ments and with them a more stubborn
purpose than either. This thought was
what elected him. He had much to con-
tend against. He had the perfectly dis
ciplined organization of the democracy
of New York city, and in the country
David b. Hill. with all his craftiness,
opposed to him. Some men in his place.
when the charges of the cOrruptness of
the canal ring and other shortcomings
of the republican party were hurled at
him, would have proved an alibi.
Roosevelt never once tried to excuse or
clared that if elected governor and any
thing like what was charged was true,
he would bring the offenders to justice.
And he spoke in a way that people be-
lieved what he said. When the charges
were brought that he pressed to an I'M
just extent the Raines bill, his answer
was that he then merely thoroughly en-
forced the law as he found it, and that
if elected governor he would do the
same with all other laws. He did thai
with the natural expectation that it
would turn the mighty saloon interest
of the city and state against him, but
he did not hesitate. 1t proved him a
resolute man. ambitious for Office as he
does not deny, but determined never to
obtain it by a sneak, or at the expense
of having his hands tied when elected.
His election is a most satisfactory
thought.-Salt Lake Tribune.

A Change Was Needed

n mans "ao S''
The local election of Tuesday furn-
ishes many surprises to that half of the
people who honestly supported the
democratic ticket. To the other half
1t is as well a great surprise the way
in which their ticket carried. 1t can
not, however. be consistently consiG-
cred a republican victory, in view of the
light of facts. which go to demonstrate
that while the republicans voted solid
ly. a large contingent of the democrats
we're with them throughout. This con
tingent may more properly be termed
''buckers" or "SoreheadS." Long before
election it was manifest to the observ-
err that a disastrous split had occurred
in the democratic ranks-a change Of
leaders was needed change of officers
was wanted. With this knowledge. the
republicans took advantage of the stu
alton and captured the dissatisfied at
every opportunity. Influences were
brought to bear on the doubtful voter
and republican generalship, or roguery,
was better represented everywhere.
But while the republicans have won,
it cannot be said that they carried the
day on their gold platform, but on the
contrary against an unpopular drift OF
sentiment aimed at the local candi-
dates. Uinta county is democratic for

HOW IT

The democratic papers of the state
are reveling in huge chunks of gloom
anu 1t Is amusing to read their com
ments upon the result. John Charles
Thompson of the Denver News was
about the only one who cared to insin-
uate that the workingmen were a cor
rupt lot Of scamps. ready to be sold like
cattle to the highest bidder. Following
are a few comments from the demo-
cratic press:
Haven't Heard From Alcova-
The election returns up until the time
o. going to press are quite meagre. A
cova is the only precinct in the county
not heard from. Indications are that
the entire republican state ticket will
be elected, though this is not certain.
Colorado sat down hard on Wolcott.
Nebraska and New York are both also
reported republican. 1t is claimed by
the silver party that they will have a
majority in the congress.-Casper Der

We do not pretend to say hat we are

Regarding the c!ct: "a in this county

much at present until we have time to
get over the shock and at least
partial consciousness. The people of
this state and of Uinta county have. by
their ballots declared in favor of the
single gold standard of money, in favor
Of Hannaism and plutocratic rule in
general. and we hope they will enjoy
the results. 1t seems strange, however,
that Wyoming is the only one of these
inter-mountain states where such a
change in public sentiment has occur
