Show a puotkst dy a gkstile. Salt Lake City, Pcbruary Jd, 1S72. Editors McmU; I admit the right of judge McKcan to seek a whitewashing at the hands of his friends. I accord to David P. Walker, president; A. S. Gould, secretary; sec-retary; together with the other odds and euds of Judas Mormons and their confreres, who speak in a set of resolutions resolu-tions printed in this morning's Herald, Her-ald, the right to whitewash tliejudge to their heart's content. But when they assume to speak, as they do in tho second resolution which reads as follows : "liesolvcd, that the refusal of judge James B. McKcan to admit persons charged with murders, in some cases of the mast atrocious character, to bad, receives our hearty commcndation.and that we have abundant abun-dant reason to believe that such refusal to bail is fully approved by all the so-called so-called Gentile people of Utah," I beg leave to enter my protest against their right to include me in their category. J lam a so-called Gentile, and ami also a citizen of Utah; and while I! recognize the right of judge McKean i I to admit to bail or to re 1 use to do so, j j the parties confined on the charges al-i I luded to, I do not approve of Lis re- j i fusal to so admit them to bail; and 1 j 1 1 believe there are many other Gentile' i citizens who agree with mo. j ot feeling disposed to enter into a ! ! quarrel with judge McKean or attorney ' .i Bates, 1 have taken no part in any ot i the proceedings; but justice to my sell ' j requires that I should enter this pro-; pro-; U'st against the action of the meeting I alluded to in classing me as one oi C them. While 1 recognize the risbt of , all men, to make.asses of themselves, I object to these persons attempting to -jinake the world believe that ail of the -, so-called Gentiles in Utah belong to the long eared class. Xot courting public notoriety, I , choose to put my name in your hands should any one wish to knew who I r am, and subscribe myself. Gentile. |
