The result was that unanimity unan-imity was at rived at, and the document docu-ment prepared by the County Central Cen-tral Committee was adopted without a dissenting '-ote. It is as follows: Whereas, The People's party lias been maintained lor the purpose of resisting re-sisting attempts to curtail and destroy the political rights and privileges of the majority of the people of Utah, and its chief opponent has been the so-c : I "'Liberal" paity, whose member mem-ber vhile entertaining different views in national politics, have combined com-bined on local issues: and, Whereas, there is a manifest disposition dispo-sition on the part of both Democrats and Republicans to dissolve the unnatural un-natural union that has heretofore bound theru together, to accord full rights and privileges to all citizens, and to all'ord them opportunity for organizing or-ganizing with the national parties and espousing the respective political creeds to which their individual conscience con-science may incline; and Whereas, The existence of local political po-litical parties, to the exclusion of the great national parties, is an anomaly which ought not to exist in any part of the nation, unless made necessary by special conditions and emergencies; a fact which has ever been recognized by the members of the People's party; and Whcrcds, The necessity which has heretofore existed for the;. maintenance mainten-ance ot the "People's party ieems to be j pas:;ig "i'.vay ui the changer of. condi-1 tions, and iis members are desirous of realizing the hope they have long entertained en-tertained of resuming and taking their jespective places in the national parties, part-ies, as soon as the public safety would perm:t. With the hope that former animosities animos-ities may be obliterated and local dif-fcienees dif-fcienees forgotten in a united effort, by ail classes of citizens, to promote the growth, development and progress of that grand commonwealth which our fathfis founded in the great Ameri' an desert: now therefore be it Resnh-id, That it is the sense of th People's County Central Committee, the irec.net committees and the officers of tl e political clubs in Salt Laae county, that the People's party should be dissolved, and its members left free to ally themselves with the respective national parties, according to their individual prefeiences. F. S. Riciiauds, chairman. D. McivEXziK, secretary. ! : ' furnished the sinking at the Genera! Conference of the Y. P. M. I. A. in Salt Lake Tabernacle on Mondav morning, which Prof. Stephens expressed ex-pressed as a eenuine treat. The music was well selected, and well rendered, and everyone was profuse in their compliments. . This event. ! coupled with the fact of carrying off the prizes in the contest, has brought l'rovo to her right place in the foremost fore-most ranks in music, and it would be a good thing now for some of our citizens citi-zens to bring forth some of the "needful" "need-ful" and help keep it. We have a leader, Prof Giles, who is equal to any in the Territory as a teacher and conductor, con-ductor, and under his excellent training train-ing l'rovo could soon spring to the front in either orchestra, brass band or choirs. Let the prominent men lend a hand in this. |
