I could lill a column with illustrations.! i' Jiut a few days Kinco you laid all L lie evils under which we have suffered suf-fered in Flab, rduce bG, to the removal of Judge McKean, and! even the dullness of business, and t'no depreciation in real estate' ciiUM-d by the iianie of lfi73. You ' drove j uuge Jjowe out or tne ler-' ler-' i i lory, because lie didu't sustain 1 Jude;t?

You say thfy .give no good reasons, but who made you tho exclusive judge of tbu 1 soundnessof their retcnon-? All tbe ' lawyers, nearly, ask the HoDale to eoniirin Jude Vbite, and you de-;nounoe de-;nounoe them for it. 'i Ley meet for the purpose of securing needed ( k-gislalion from the Territory, and you t-culd them for t hut. Who made you the keeper of tlieir con-. con-. -ti-iine?.? You concede nothing to 1 tbe l.-iwyurs, they are either politically politi-cally blind or knavi-h. You alone ' are I rue, you alone am gi tied with i political iniht.

Nov this is the best policy if you wisdi to reduce a party to small dimensions di-mensions that can be invented. 1 Let two or three men, infatuated with each other, secure the power, to run things, aud then run every- j body who does not sing their song without flatting or sharping, pro-J longing or shorting a single note. I Undoubtedly in that way 'unity may lie assured, but it will only he when all men with opinions and; the courage to express them havo been driven ofl". The republican party has never been a close corporation. It has always al-ways been necessary - to ' include within its ranks men of widely different views as to non-essentials and a towayand means, provided they were sound on the main ques- tiou. Tins noeranty nas oeen extended ex-tended iu Utah to an unprecedented unprecedent-ed degree. So that we see democrats demo-crats aud republicans working harmoniously year after year in the same political truces en tbe great local issues. It is singular that the organ of such n parly should have created so much dissatisfaction by its cliqueism, so to call it. And i maintain that you can change in this respect without surrendering your just independence. Now, as to the signers of our memorial, me-morial, who has rendered better service to the cause in the same time than Governor Kmery? Aud did not General Kimball take an active part in the only political contest we have had since he come here? Carey and Gilchrist spent a whole winter in Washington lobby-; ing for legislation, the most thank-' less part of all the service, and we owe to them the re-nomiuatiou aud unanimous confirmation of Judge1 McKeau at a very critical time, They also, being ou the ground, did what men could t.-i prevent tbe removal, re-moval, 01 to have it recalled. Dr. j Taggart was one of the inliuenlial1 stand-bys of the party years before! years before be came here, arid when it cost something to be such. 1 Lastly, Judge Hay don has been in tbe fore-front of the fight ever since1 he came to Utah, has performed h'.s full share of elleetivo service, and borne all tho consequences.- The other gentlemen whom you call jaek-Morrnous ami nobodies, are engaged in building railroads, opening open-ing coal mines aud other mines, and thereby doing more effective work in solving the prevailing difficulties dif-ficulties here than all the oh in music mu-sic in. America could accomplish. . "It is impoi taut to be right, "you say. Why. theu, do you charge all these with beiug of no account in the right? I know how hopeless is a discussion with an editor, who always has the last wnrd, and makes his living by saying it, and therefore I do not court it. Aud I promise to receive your further comments on our "statement" in silence, if you will represent it fairly, O. J. HOLHSTER. |
