when approached on the subject. said
,hev we're in sympathy with the move

roldcs This was a mistake as their
influence and interest In municipal ar
fairs was needed He said that the
American party contained number
az good men but the methods OF the
PARTY were not advantageous to the
reople Of Salt Lake CITY. II divides
ihe people instead Of uniting them to-
geiher by revampiug all the old un-
pleasant things which most people wish
to forget Personally he did not desire
office. but he believed the chance for
the election Of some Of the city officers
and the oouncilmanic ticket on the
Democratic-Citizens ticket was good.
He regretted the existence Of so many
people who viii not join hands for the
beiierment OF the city. The constant
publication OF things calculated TO en-
gender hate affects this city In the eyes
q lhe country, and does not promote
unity at home as Is the case in other
cites. He commended the action OF
H. Commercial club in considering
only whether a man has the qualifca-
tons and not whether he is a Mormon
Gentle.
Sal, Lake City is also unfortunate
y having morning papers which deal
vah personalities. They color tho
hessan often distort the facts. The
people should be given the news ir.
respective Of the policy Of the paper.
