,rhe views #of8a number of prominesnt
Democrats, as given for pnbllcat loll
ills morning, are herewith repro pro-
duced:
Judge w. H knight would burn
vour$ IA Der MP were it to print what
Ithink OF Senator Clark, if8i is really
fact that this Herald deal has gone
through. The Democrats would slatd'-
IL have bought the paper had they any
idea usch a merge was seriously con-
tcmnlatca lnfact, overtures have In
the past been made to Senator Clark
with a, vinw to the Utah Democracy Sc
curing the Herald; but his inNariable&
re,,ly has been that he did not care to
sell the paper If he has, sold out,
Senator Clark deserves the condeinna-H

that telegram was sent yesterday
noon. To Senator Clark stating that re-
ports had reached here of a sale OF the
Herald to the Republican, and asking
If the paper was really for sale. Up
to this afternoon, no re W he 9 been re n
rered. The judge was very 3ndiE- 4;

that as to starting a Democratic paper
in Salt Lake it was too early to spec
uJate on anything Of that kind at pres

Jesse Knight-1 have thought but lit.
tie upon the subject and therefore DO
not feel confident Of expressing much
OF an opinion. I think the sale8of the.
Herald to the Republican Will tend "
disrupt the Democratic forces and place
the power in the hands of the Amerl-
cans and Republicans The people
here have not been enthusiastic ovor
HH4
to the fact that the majority have been
following the Republican band wagon.
B. II. Robert such an amalgama-
ton Is to be greatly regretted. re-
gard it as D disaster to the comnun-
!ty, as the. Herald has been fair ana
temperate ingsits dealings with,4all sec
ions of the community. Because OF
this. and the fact that it represents
the Democratic party, l 5regret such a
-,tx.a orr :
tons which deepen my regrets, both as
associate edito: and editor III chief
The Democrat tic partyin this city must
have a voice II IT is going to live and
WELD any power at all and3;5i this
voice fails why another must be found
The question as TO whether the time
is opportune now for such move
must be considered, but in any, cast
81 tie party! must sooner or later have
another parer to represent It..
II III. sNroyle The owners Of TIT

please with it. 1t has not been

Democratic paper. Democrats hay
not felt that they could depend upol
1t as a party organ for some We Rs
although 1t has rendered the part
splendid service at times, The Demo
Gratis of the state have been loyal t

OF the service that it has rendered
and because it has been a first elias
newspaper and gave the party tn

vithstood almost every unexpected X
verse and Il the Herald Is now goi1

Is to 4beShoped that twill be the Gu

have felt that IL the paper was to !
