state his reasons for this opposition lie ches in an interview transmitted by alie associated press which appears in its proper column alie statement 1 I say that all uon cormons mormons in tho territory without regard to party the proposition of statehood is BO manifestly that it ia not worth the contradiction ilia objection eliat the cormons mormons are unfitted to exercise alie rights of citizenship is a mere expression of narrow judgment and not a broad defensible deen sible ground at all to say that to give cheso people statehood would be to place every non mormon at their mercy is a prediction for the future neither borne out by the events of the past nor the conditions of die present and is under the best construction but a flimsy argument it alie cormons mormons had statehood they would frame such arbitrary law a t hat an outsider could not live among them says this govenor 0 ours in concluding his objections for nearly forty years outsiders liace lived liere and prospered statehood v not scare them away business donld be improved and the outsiders would not object to that they have made agreeable homes and warm friends in utah and as a general thing their lines have fallen in pleasant places why should the placing of them and their friends on an equal tooting with the rest of their countrymen leave lucli terrors for them besides under statehood both outsiders and insiders would have alie selection of their governor and there is nothing so ery dreadful in eliat having offered his objections the governor presents liis lions lie would leave utah a territory

indeed 1 we think it would your modern officeholder office holder is nothing if not whenever it be possible to get down to alie essence of all aliis opposition to statehood it will bo found to consist merely in the fear that the other side what is called alie peoples party is in alie majority not that arbitrary are expected not that the cormons mormons are unfit for not eliat outsiders cannot live hero the majority ill elect officers instead of lining them chosen tor theland the mand will govern themselves as american citizens in all the states do and have done since the federal government was formed it would bo absurd for alie democrats of ohio to say that unfit for statehood because the republicans public ans would arbitrarily against the minority yet that in is alie argument hero if there are more parties than one and one of them must hold the reins the plan of the government and the spirit of common sense everywhere bays the majority shall laivo that power in all that lie
