Show WHO ARE SINCERE I I Notwithstanding the jeers and jibes on the subject of statehood in which the paper at present without a party indulges the movement for the political politi-cal redemption of Utah will go on until un-til the desired result is achieved Whether wise and disinterested or not the gentlemen of the Democratic party in Utah are earnest and sincere in their determination to do all that lies in their power to effect the purpose pur-pose which their feebly sarcastic opponent op-ponent has fought up to date As to a code for the territory that contemplates malclng ua Republican success per forever Impossible which our morning contemporary says has been prepared we do not believer there believe-r is anything it but a tale 91 I the Tribune and a Very thin tale ati t I 11 1 it IPQ 1 I that How could a code be prepared pre-pared by which such an arrangement would be possible It is In our opinion a piece of sheer fiction designed wto promote strife which is the only j i forte of our perverse neighbor j I From the tone of its sneers at statehood r state-hood its readers can see how much i sincerity there js in its pretences of I I amity And in its Insinuation that 1 jwlth the acquisition of statehood such a code as its imagination has invented could be revived Its hostility to Utahs freedom is laid bare with all its old vindictiveness However it has lost what influence it had to stir up opposition to the one measure that is essential to the welfare wel-fare of Utah Its hobgoblin stories its threats of theocratic domination its romances and horrible tales with I which it was wont to scare newcomers new-comers and prevent any fraterni I tion with the old settlers have lost their terrors and in that respect its occupations gone But it seems unable to enter fairly upon the career it marked out for itself as soon as the result of the city election disclosed the fact that it i would have to take a short turn and I reverse its course The ink was hardly hard-ly dry which printed its expressions of good will before it launched out into the old bitterness and animosity showed the same vicious teeth and uttered the same canine snarl which it has kept up ever since 1 Neither Democrats nor Republicans need pay any attention to its covert attacks on what it pretends to favor but should go ahead with a full determination deter-mination to work together in the statehood state-hood project on which they can rationally ra-tionally unite while they may differ as to national politics The Herald does not believe that many Republicans in this territory are so partisan that they would prefer to postpone statehood for several years to having Utah go into the Union under un-der Democratic auspices That feeling feel-ing may be entertained by a few but it certainly cannot be anything like general in the party Therefore we look for a genuine effort by all parties to make this a grand and vigorous state with a constitution that shall secure the utmost practical and constitutional con-stitutional liberty to all its citizens no matter what may be their faith or politics pol-itics S The probabilities are in favor of the passage of the Rawlins bill in the House during the winter It may stick in the Senate If so that will be chiefly from Republican obstacles Members of that party in Utah ought to do their best to remove every stumbling block out of the way A Democratic congress and administration administra-tion ought to be afforded the opportunity oppor-tunity to give Utah that liberty which it has been alleged the Democracy desire de-sire to bestow Then if statehood does not come the responsibility can be placed where it belongs The Utah Democracy are unanimous for immediate imme-diate statehood let us see who are opposed op-posed to the essential movement |
