The Utah State Democrat is a new paper published in Ogdeu as thu outgrowth, out-growth, we Imagine, of the recent reorganization re-organization of party lines in that city. It looks substantial enough for a new venture and if its mission is not premature pre-mature it will have a field all its own in I 'tali. Then? w.vs a timu. not long ago, when another sheet of the n:inn; surname, issued in Ogdeu, struggled against fa!u for a time and liually mic- ! climbed.
