Logan, Jan. 27.-The action of con-
gress in refusing to seat Congressman
Roberts is still the one great topic of
conversation. The general sentiment
seems to be that the Democratic party
will be unaffected by the turning down
Of Mr.. Roberts. The following express
siOns of opinion were obtained today
from well known party leaders:
Hon. G. W. Thatcher am convinced
that the exclusion Of Mr.. Roberts viii
inure to the good of the Democratic
party. 1t viii sOlidify and concentrate
its forces and will infuse into its MEM
berS a determination to win in the COM
ing elections, for under apparently ad-
verse conditions Democrats always
fight hardest. In my opinion nothing
can now prevent a Democratic victory
at the coming election.
Hon. Joseph MOrrell-I do not think
that the exclusion of Mr.. Roberts win
materially alter the political situation
in Utah. 1 think that every person who
voted the Democratic ticket at the last
general election viii do so at the COM
ing one, and hence do not anticipate
any decrease in the Democratic ma
jOrity of 1885,
II. J. Mathews, Chairman Democratic
County Committee-The exclusion OF
Hon. E. H. Roberts by congress has not
IN the least intimidated the Democratic
party, or weakened its forces. Obsta.-
Giles to SurmOunt add strength and sta
bility to the structure. and as the root
ing Of the oak builds its trunk and ex-
tends its branches wide and strong. so
shall the cause Of the Democratic party
appeal to the suffrage of the people Of
the state of Utah at the coming cleo
ton.
Judge c. N. Hart-The exclusion from
congress Of Mr.. Roberts viii not affect
the chances for success of his party in
the special election. unless recent local
issues shall be revived on account Of
the particular candidates that the con-
ventions max nominal
Fred Turner-The exclusion of b. H
Roberts and the unwarranted state
ments made in some of the speeches. by.
representatives of congress will. in my
opinion, be long remembered by all
classes of people of this internlountain
region against the party that had insti-
gated the trouble. Time is an excel
lent equalizer and thereby this vexed
question would have adjusted itself.
c. ID. ". Fulimer-It will strengthen
the Democratic lineup for the special
election, and result in sending another
Democrat to congress with a greater
majority than Roberts had. Democrats
voted for Roberts because of his abil-
ity and Democracy; any thought Of
trouble arising from his domestic az
fairs was at once dispelled on account
of the presidents attitude in appoint-
ing to Office in this state Republicans
similarly situated as Mr.. Roberts in
family matters.
L. r. Martineau-ROberts made a
splendid fight. and has made friends
for himself and his party I'm all parts
Of Utah. The reprOach cast upon the
state would be hUmiliating to every son
of Utah if it had not been based upon
falsehoOd. The crusade against Utah
and her people is a crime watch the
voters Of the state viii punish in com
ing elections in most emphatic man
ner by not only sending to congress an
other Democrat, but by electing the en-
tire state Democratic ticket this fan.
