Show LET IT STAYjAT MANTI. Editor RETiGTiR.-lle agony is over. The convention rflainto the removal of the county seat.if 1 tmivention it may be called, has been h Maud through it some say the questio. i removal has been decided 111 favo; Alt. Pleasant, but 10 one not interested nthe fight only as a resident of the coun ytt does not ai pear in that light. Let slook at the situation situa-tion for a moment. 0 lysix of what may be termed the towns fine county were represented in that s died convention. The report as taken ! yf:ie reporter of the County RgoisTEk iws that the del- eYJlfc Pleasant, Spring City, filiiew, Thistle and Milburn-tywiis lyitr, intirly on Ihe eastern side of the vail? Were in favor jf Mt. Pleasant; .with tie exception of one delegate J'rora Faimew, who hid the good sense to oppss locating the county seat in an Out-of-the-way northern part of the cotntjf. It will be seen that Ft.Greeu and Diester sent no delegates to the conventon, hence but a portion oS the northern owns were represented. re-presented. Mt. Plesant tegan a straight sixteen in her favor, Ejliraim eleven. There was but little ctrnge in this for about fourteen hours d il we judge rightly it was not until tk delegates became be-came weary of seeing no chance of the question ending in haraony that they voted for Mt. Pleasant. Let all reasonable reason-able consistant readers i the Register look for a moment at tlitiituation. The entire county if interestslin the removal of the County Seat, if atemov il is necessary. nec-essary. Some say Mauti 1 too far south Be this as it may, the canty, according to the allotment made, as entitled to forty-two delegates at ittt convention, aud only twenty-seven wne there. Out ol this number only fifteawera actually in favor orP the removal of the County Seat to Alt Pleasant. Aioutone third of those interested. Ta being the true situation does it Ink reasonably for one moment that the citizens of Ft. Green, Moroni, Wales aniChester towns lying north of the ceiitn of the county, coun-ty, with Ephraim and all the towns south, should so far forpt themselves as to vote against the bst interests of the county, which shouldle the greatest good to the greater numtxr. This these towns will do if they votefor Mt, Pleasant. Pleas-ant. With two railroads n this county, Mt. Pleasant would be more inconvenient incon-venient than any town softb or west ol it for those doing bnsineaat the county seat. No argument is meded to convince con-vince the registered voted of San Pete Co. of this fact. , , If the removal to Ephrain is to short a distance as some of the Mt. Pleasant people say, and urge, thei in the name of common sense and justice, let it remain at Manti. Anonymous |
