Show A UKANII TKICMI'll. By au overwhelming majority the re-1 re-1 publicans of Salt Lake last night decided de-cided to organize. That vole sounded the death kuellof the rule of hate and 0 bigotry iu 1'iah. From this time forth men will meet on the plaue of reason, and rational methods will prevail. The conditions under which the old parties had been maintained had changed and it was evident that the time bad come for parties to change with them. 'The j proposal met with bitter opposition, but the logic of the situation was irresistible irresist-ible and popular sentiment has risen j like a tidal wave, forever burying the r theory that the old contest should bo , coutinued under tho new order of things that have been set up in Utah. Those who have led this movement have no desire to claim credit for themselves. Tim Timks does not wish to boast unreasonably of the part that it has borne the light. Each individual knows that tho public will accord him full credit; but for that neither the leaders nor this paper are concerned. A great fight has been madu and a great victory has been won, but that iu which wo all glory is tho triumph of principle. The republican party was never known to turu its back to a foe; it was never known to falter because there were obstacles ob-stacles iu its path; it was never known to hesitate when a duty was presented to it; and the result of last night's meeting demonstrated that it is guided in Utah by the same high principles which have guided it in every section since the hour of orgauiation. The party is to be organized. It is to present a solid front to its old enemy, j the bourbon democracy. It is to go , forth in this city aud throughout this territory aud contest for and win su- premacy. |
