Show An army may maneuver or retreat in front of an enemy, but it never voluntarily volun-tarily surrenders its guns until it has determined to disband sad abandoning contest. M.'.f.K OF IHEIIKliVI K As intimated in Tiik Times Saturday a controlling interest iu the Salt Lake Herald has been sold to the democrats, the announcement of the transfer having hav-ing been made in the Sunday rooming issue of that paper. Iu brief, tilty-oue one hundredths of the paper has been sold for Jol.OOil, the sale iucludiug the real estate known as the Herald block. Tho purchasers secure seven of the thirteen directors, the directory now being constituted as follows: K. ( ( 'H.tMBEKS, president; Hf.iieh.L Gkant, vice president; II. (!. Wiiitnkv, secretary secre-tary and treasurer; F. II. I'VKU, K. A. Smith, J. L. Kawlins. J. W. Jtii), John 11. WiMiKii, Jons T. Ca ink, Thomas Maksuai.l, 11. W. YOINU. tiKOHliB ft l.I.INS and SlMO.S Bamukucku. The editorial aud business busi-ness management reniaiu as before but are subject to change at the discretion of the board. The stock sold has all beeu pooled and is to be voted by Wr. CilAMBKHS. thus eururing absolute control con-trol for the gentile branch of the board. The paper announces that it will be a straight-out democratic organ. The important feature of tho transaction, however, lies iu the fact that it shows, ou the one hand, that the democrats are in earnest about their party organization, organi-zation, and, ou the other, that the peoples' peo-ples' party men are in earnest about dissolving their local party organization organiza-tion ami alliliating with the two great national parties. It is not likely that the control of that paper would have been surrendered to tho gentiles if there had not been a deep rooted determination deter-mination to abandon the old peoples' party, as well as au abiding ' faith that the agitation now in progress will wipe the liberal party out of existence. It does seem to Thk Timks that this transaction should be accepted as positive posi-tive evidence that the revolution has come to stay. The logic of the situation is irroMstable and we do not see how any one can fail to be impressed by it. |
