Show That Reapportionment We have no desire to lengthen out controversy con-troversy nor to harp too often on one subject sub-ject But we have this to say further on I the proposition that was made in Congress Con-gress to reapportion this territory before another election v There is nothing in it which justifies the slurs and anathemas cast by the Tribune upon the distinguished dis-tinguished gentlemen in both Houses of Congress who presented and supported it The present apportionment is unfair on its face and the districting of the territory was effected in the saeoial interest of the Liberal faction There is no need to particularize Thepeople who live in the districts that were mutilated and tacked on to others with which they had no natural connection are perfectly aware of the injustice done them and of its motive mo-tive The need of a fair and just arrangement arrange-ment based on the population and districted dis-tricted according to geographical and local contiguities is obvious to every citizen cit-izen of Utah But there is no indication in anything proposed as to a reapportionment that Salt Lake City was to be deprived of any right or the adherents of any party of proper representation That was all in the disordered imagination or rather in the unveracious and discourteous language lan-guage of the Tribune writer who evidently evi-dently did not even deceive himself THE HERALD is not advocating any such fool proposition as that attributed at-tributed to it by its vituperative contemporary con-temporary Nor would this paper support sup-port any scheme that would be unfair to any part of the territory Neither of the Senators or Representatives who favored the reapportionment advance anything which justified a suspicion of unfair motives THE HERALD knows that thj registration lists needs purging It knows also that the territory ought to be redistricted But it does not wish anything any-thing to be done that would deprive any voter or class of voters of fair representation representa-tion in the legislature The bare prospect pros-pect of a square election seems to have driven the Liberal defender of frauds into hysterics |
