Show COMMUNICATIONS. ; This i v.ii Haajtf ,,i Appraateta 11. Editor of Tin: Timkd In reading Tin: Times dated January bill, I can say that I was surprised to ace a piece headed "The I lirnml of I lie Cliureli," for 1 bad at) faith in i The Timkk, but I see here that jour faitfc is getting weak in your party. You -ay that the mormons are not true to their promises, for you say that the demo- eruts are mostly cotnpcacil of members of the old party called the people's parti ; but here I beg to differ with you. And you fi -aid that it was the mormons who got up this Mil for statehood, but 1 think you are mistaken here, for waa it not some of the head nion of the democratic party, such us Judge Judd, ex-Marshal Oyer niiJ others, and not the mormon-': ! luusiij- Unit t tic mormon rcpuMirans are j nut true. Again 1 licjr to differ ilh vou. I for I say t lie v tire. I am a tnortnun and I tuna republican to the very biltir end, nud 1 can say that since the lat election the republican party iu Murray hits increased io numbers, but not from the liberal party. Vou slated that at the August election there were Moo republican votes east in Ball Lake City. If there was so many then, j there is sure to be more now. Vou talk as though the republicans would not put a ' ticket in the Held at the February election, i hut I think they should, and I think the way ! you are doing is going to cause many to I fall from the republican parly, 00 account of this bill being put into congress, Vou are about to draw out and become liberal again. I would advise you not to, for we a. republicans must expect something from our honorable democratic friends, for they arc suit to try and work up a si heme to overthrow our party, mid if we give way to their schemes we will never be successful, success-ful, and 1 for one will.hold ou to the republican repub-lican parly if I stand alone, and 1 think, or at least I know, many of the republicans of Murray will stand by me. At our last election elec-tion did not our honorable democrats try to get control by lying about us in their paper, the '.r.'W, and did not some of our houorahb' republicans show their colors and try to get them (the repub li' iois i to stand by their colors and take no notice of IbaL kind of talk, and did they not do so, the majority of them, and here you are about to return back to the liberals again. I say if you do I have no more con-llileui con-llileui i' iu y ou and will consider you traitors to your party. I say this as advice to you and with all due respects towards you. Yours respectfully, Ft.lltOl'KS I.ESTElt. Murray, Jan. 11, 1880, |
