Show Charles Kills in Denver, Charles Ellis has struck Denver, and the Sim of that city contained a long interview with him on Sunday last. Speaking of statehood, Ellis is credited with saying: "The men who went to Washington last autumn and started the home rule and statehood state-hood agitation have done Utah much harm. Things were working excellently, and if those fellows had stayed at home chances for statehood today would have been good. There are too many men in Utah who want office. If the territory could take an emetic and get rid of a number of politicians it would be a good thing. But Utah is a grand country, and in spite of all unrest it will get its proper place in the union before long, and then Colorado will find by her side a powerful ally in all matters concerning the welfare of 'silver' states." . m . |
