Show A. ROYAL BAND. The Goodwin Pllrrlm Who Gere op Bust- nou Intcrmu for the Territory's Good. Salt Lake Tribune. The last week's campaign on the part of the Liberals of this territory was, in sonio respects, the most beautiful ever seen in any country. We do not believe there is an example on record where a company of the very best men in a country coun-try voluntarily gave up their business, chartered a splendid Pullman train, and gathering round their candidate, went with him to give him the honor of their endorsement and the' cheer of their hearty support. It was altogether splendid. And there was a loyalty to it, a- graciousness ;and heartiness and generosity that compensated for everything every-thing in the past, and which will make the one in whose honor it was given, satisfied with anything that may happen today or in the future. And when, by and by, Utah shall be fully redeemed, it shall be a mistake if, on festal days, when men who then will have charge of things meet to rejoice over the triumphs of justice in this territory, it will be a mistake if, with the Declaration of Independence, In-dependence, there shall not be read the names of those superb men who, when the skies are not overly bright, and when the common enemy was exulting in its power to wield its vast majority of slaves to make thera vote as diotated by the chief of the creed, in the name of their country, in honor of their flag, as an object lesson to the people, those men circled around their candidate and held np his hands even as the hands of the chief of Israel were held up when the battle was sore vhen the thronging throng-ing enemy were exulting in their power to control the consciences of their thronging minions. No matter what the result may be today, to-day, the honor and the splendor of that achievement last week will never be taken away, and. the echoes that were then awakened will keep reverberating rever-berating through the hills of Utah, through the hills and over the valleys. What was said by those men thon.when their words fell on careless ears, will come back to memory strongor and stronger as the days go on, and the next time that a candidate delegate for congress starts out through Utah to advocate ad-vocate the Liberal ticket, he will hear answering symphonies in the air, and there will be such rythm in them that all the hills and valleys will be resonant reso-nant with their music |
