Show b thrM months before Jafferaon birthday will com nd they want td ealebrat now. Roally it U twenty ytara ain tkey bad ral can for celabratinc, and tbey ar aaiply Jnatlfled in thair deairc for a roaring old Democratic jubilee, not only for the victory of their party bat for the promieea that if tbey nee their victory wisely they have a atronf hop of continuance in- power. And aa it is the unexpected that generally happen hap-pen their hope of aueb continuance baa real foundation. , ' And the patron aaint of the day baa many claima upon their adoration, for it waa old Andrew An-drew who first promulgated the doctrine that "to the victor belongs the spoils." What motto is dearer than' that to the modern Democrat!" TTe are satisfied that the memory of it will temper the eulogy of which the judge ia aet down to pronounce pro-nounce on the federal bunch tonight t that be will not npbrsid the bunch that they took what waa in sight, but for their narrow vieion in not aeeing more to gobble. In addressing them be will not plagiarize the Miiuourian by saying "show me," but rather will change it to "watch na if you want to see what can b done along the line you have traveled." The meeting tonight should partake of both the solemnity and joy of a resurrection. For gentlemen who have watched by a sepul-cher sepul-cher faithfully for twenty years, to see tbe stone suddenly rolled away is certainly a little startling, start-ling, and if late at the banrnet some of the orators ora-tors become a little incoherent, no blame will attach at-tach to them. We in all aineerity hope they will have a jolly time. Tbey deserve it, for surely they are stayers. stay-ers. And when the -new president comes to name officer for Utah, w hone that a great many of those who will attend the banquet tonight will be remembered and honored, for they are good men and have waited long. We would be glad to ace tbe incoming president call upon one or two of them to com east and help make up bia political polit-ical family, for we are sure their advice to him on some matters affecting the weat would be worth more than that of any dozen eastern men. JACKSON DAT TONIGHT. ; Todsy is Jackson's day and New Orleaua will be dressed in gala attire because it is Jackson 'a day and because, while there waa a doubt whether Jackson's birth happened on the seaa coming to this country or in North Carolina after hia mother's moth-er's arrival, tbe birthday of hia fame was on that momentous 8th of January, 1815, and New Orleans Or-leans wss th place. It wss not a great fight ?n 1 hia aide, but it was a wonderful victory. Ilis ' men, mostly Kentucky and Tennessee squirrel hunters, lay protected by a secure bresstwork with their long rifles and General Packingham, I following tha ' ancient British idea, formed his ; army into eolumna and advanced upon them. Of course, be and bis army were slaughtered, and i never sine has a hostile British force. act foot - upon United States soil. And ever since the nsme 1 ef Jackson ba been one to conjure with in the United State. . . , Tonight tbe Utah Democracy are going to eel-ebrat eel-ebrat aa they should, for Jackson 'a name aake ac because, after a long rest, their party has emerged from the coma which bound it for twenty twen-ty years snd has won a victory.
