Of course it wasn't the intention inten-tion of the Republican friends of Governor Murray, when they arranged for that ! meeting at the Walker Opera House the other evening, to attempt to make it appear ap-pear that the Democrats of Utah, by taking part in the proceedings, disapproved disap-proved of the President's action in requesting the resignation of Republican Governor Murray. Oh, no! They didn't, for that very purpose, beguile Ransford Smith into accepting the chairmanship of the meeting, either. And this part of a dispatch, telegraphed hence by the Republican Re-publican press agent of this city, doesn't look a bit like it, does it : j Salt Lake, Maroh 24. A large meeting was held last night in the Walker Opera House, presided over by a Democratic member mem-ber of the Chioago National Convention, to indorse the acts of - Governor Murray, opeeches were made eulogizing the retiring Governor by prominent citizens, regardless of party. Following this are the resolutions, adopted "irrespective of party." We rather think that somebody must be in error in hinting that Governor Murray's j friends tried to put up a job for his reten- i tion in office, and to that end sought to j make use of Democratic prestige! They ' wouldn't do it. I - I |
