Tho republicans repub-licans will not be in haste in deciding what tho will do in tho matter. The best inteiests of tho territory are what are to H considered, not mere party advantago. The subject is ono that the republicans will digest thoroughly, and if they oaucludo that if is best for the divisiou to come now thej' will cheerfully cheer-fully place themselves in tho front of the new tirdor of things. TliK Tnil.s is not authorized to speak for any one.

Since the "peculiar institution' that has made Utah so prominent before tho world has been eliminated from tho problem, so far as the future is concerned, by the action of the church, the question is very mueli simplified; and this feature of political conditions as they exist today, to-day, will exert an important influence upou every mind in the consideration of ways afid means for politically promoting pro-moting the welfare of the Territory. |
