Show TIIE COUNTY democratic CON it is to be regretted that the democratic convention last saturday was so inharmoniously disturbed by a few foreheads soreheads sore heads styling themselves democrats not that it can result in any harm so far as the interests of are concerned but simply because there was no shadow of a reason for any but the best of feelings characterizing the meeting it lias always been a conceded fact in gatherings similar to that of last Saturday that alie minority should acquiesce in the views of the majority For the few to attempt to disturb abo proceedings ce of the many simply because aliey cannot have things their own way is to say tha least outside of the bounds of all decency and good political breeding it only shows what the condition of affairs would be were such people to have tho reina of authority placed in their care alie cause of the disagreement lay in the resolutions reported by the committee appointed for the purpose three of this committee drafted a report which did not accord with the wishes of the other two members and they acting upon their rights drafted a minority report the majority report was found to contain very undemocratic and un heard of political sentiments the most prominent of these waa that true democrats cannot consistently affiliate with those who are and hereafter intend to remain members of the peoples party well might mr smoot remark that if thomas jeffersons ashes were not disturbed oscr the enunciation of a doctrine of this kind an earthquake would certainly fail to disturb them the peoples porty is a purely local organization and its principles are those of democracy the chairman of the meeting mr david evans ia a pro bounced enemy of that party and in appointing the committie on resolutions took great care that at least three a majority of his clique fellow thi should be appointed this was docu and it could not be expected but that they would show their party feeling and antipathy tho minority report was put to the meeting and about four fifths of the democrats present voted for it instead of bravely standing the defeat as all honest men would have done sir evans stepped from the chair and called upon all those who favored the majority report to follow him tho secretary was the first to obey his bidding and marched off with the minutes when the members of the meeting saw the convention being robbed of its minutes they requested the secretary to leave them but a word of command from dave evans sufficed to cause the scribe to bang to them one of the most peculiar features of I 1 the whole business was that of appointing H II 11 henderson one of the framers of alie majority report this gentleman is not even a resident of provo city saying nothing of a registered voter in this county and at the meeting held by the balters bol after they had the convention 0 o ta ot inn of delesa ta tn ogden on the grounds of even two of the ten they have appoint adare republicans it is only just to say however eliat one of these individuals was not present at the meeting or he would have declined but they appointed him in his I 1 absence as there were not enough loyal league democrats in the town to make up the required number the fact of the whole matter is a grand political scheme concocted by a few sorehead liberal loyal league democrats the night previous to the holding of the meeting has been grandly frustrated had all parties concerned attended the convention with none kotlier but the best of feelings leaving lobal matters purely on the outside and have had the welfare of democracy at heart the convention would have resulted more harmoniously than it did it is time that men smothered their political hatred and worked together for the benefit of all regardless of what creed men believe in or the tenets of their faith the delegates appointed by the meeting goto the territorial convention with alie backing of all pure and true democrats they have been elected a platform in full accord with principles I 1 enunciated both by the national and territorial committees and consequent ly cannoa be consistently denied seats in the convention |
