HAR MEL PRATT'S LETTcR. We direct attention to Commissioner IIa'.'.mkl I'katt'3 bri-jf letter in today's Timi s, relating to the withdrawal cf the Thomas resolution from thn Rq-pnb'.ican Rq-pnb'.ican platform. It is in accord with our recent editorial statement of the mailer. The fact is that upon a fair trial of the question, tho convention carried Mia resolution twice and that its with-; with-; flrawal was accomplished under cir- j tumstanccs which precluded debate j and deceived ihe friends of the meas- nro. The resolution did not carr', by its i terms or by inference, an indorsement j f the absolute veto. It merely indorsed j lhe governor's ex.erei.-e of it in tho in- jero't of Utah industries and Republi-I Republi-I ian principles. I! Commissioner Pratt's statement o ihe case is a just one, as every person I bo was in the convention knows.
