Show THE STATE OF UTAH. Within the next four years Utah will almost certainly be admitted in to the Union, and in the month of September, 1880, the Herald will probably be addressing arguments to the voters of the state similar to those now employed in otber parts of the country in reference to their dnty in the presidential campaign. Who may be the candidates and what the issues it is now impossible to predict; but wc- feel satisfied that the majority of the voters will espouse the cause that best represents the principles of civil and religious liberty, and that there will be few alates in which these principles will be more faithfully carried car-ried out than in that of Utah. In view of these probabilities the Ueoald believes it to be its duty to keep its readers, which comprise a large portion por-tion of the intelligent liberal citizens of the territory, posted in the current politics of the day, as there is nothing bo interesting before the people of the whole country at the present time. |
