Show I TAIl POLITICK. It is impossible for the little speck on the map of the United States, called I'tah, to isolate itself from the lost ol tho country forever. It is impossible for this territory to maintain a separate sep-arate political status much longer. In years back several movements were started, having in view tho reorgani.a-tiou reorgani.a-tiou of panics on national lines and issues. They collapsed, to lie sure; still 1 hey proved the formation, if not the existence, of a sentiment in that direction. In presidential years there was always a more or less defined organization of republicans and democrats, and last August a democratic demo-cratic club was formed in this city which has for its object, as Judge Ji:ii declared in his Jackson day oration, tho dissemination of democratic doctrines in every bailiwick in this territory. The republican re-publican club of Dgdea recently callod iuto being is even more ambitious than thnt. Now, all these efforts may be only spasmodic and may lack in sustained sus-tained power, yet they indicate a tendency ten-dency toward a higher political life, which wo have never enjoyed hero, just as the shadow indicates the presence of light. Tho high noon is bound to eomo no matter what the sootsayers may say, and we might as well prepare for it betimes. Outside of tho larger cities thero is perhaps little of that tendency manifest as yet and this may defer action for a time, still tho inlliienco of the larger cities is growing more dominant every day and it well Id be strange indeed if it should not inlluence in time thi political feeling feel-ing of ihe country. While tlmOgden movement is an immediate outgrowth of the recent mixed election which engendered en-gendered dissatisfaction all around, it is an indication of the remedy proposed pro-posed against future complications of tho same kind. The movement may be premature, but it will grow in momentum momen-tum notwithstanding tho sneers of the fossil and war element, and any incident inci-dent may hasten its culmination. |
