Show lift SALT LAKE CITY march 10 1873 E editor deseret lycius As this tills is a republican gov government ern ostensibly at least it is presumable suni able abie that the policy of selecting seleCt

tilo thoe thoo officials immediately affect president grant has announced liim self seif in favor of this truly republican policy io so i o far as to profess to be in minded to make a practice of selecting federal appointees for a territory from among resident citizens a practice worthy of commendation and if it means selecta ing those those appointees app 0 inteer from among those tho ose resident citizens who wilo are not dot only qualified for public ollice office but who are the choice of the clearly manifested majiori majority ty of the whole of t the lio resident citizens it will be worthy of all irwill it will be strictly in spirit and jil in opera t lolly iri III in accordance with the republican principle of self govern mono ment upon which the tho fabric of the tho federal union was based so far as this principle is D not adhered to in the appointment of public officers olli cers cens the spirit and operation of the tile gov eminent are not republican but imperial dictatorial autocratic and in the hands of many men would be despotic tyra tyrannical in diametrical opposition to tha that t fundamental ro republican publican principle of having due duo regard to the choice of the people there is no sound bound reason why the people of this territory should be treated in pursuance of any other policy than tile the sensible and just one above named to rule over them imperially while a territory constitutes a poor training for the time wilen when they will be called upon to exer clEo the full rights of citizens under a republican state golemme government nt which all states are required to have aa as the one essential prerequisite to the condition of statehood Cha changes rilles are being made in the federal officials for this territory and certainly changes were needed of others there are rumors as min win being it either facts accomplished or proposed while these changes cli cil anges are in in course of effectuation it may not be amiss to propose one which certainly in the opinion of every sober intelligent and candid citizen ought to have been made long ago reference is here made to the office of chief justice justlee of the territory not that 1 I decidedly as I 1 consider the present incumbent incompetent and unfit for his high position wish him to be removed unless a better a less bigoted a more impartial judge were to be appointed as his successor which I 1 should be very sorry to hear could not be readily found why would the removal of the gentleman now occupying that important office be likely to prove beneficial for many good and sufficient reasons he is not considered an judge but excessively prejudiced a against gains A the in majority of the citizens solely on account of their re religion H glon gion he came to this territory judging ingby ingaby by his this chief end in view to overthrow the religion of the majority of the citizens of tile the territory this design has manifestly ho so bi assed

persistently and to procure special legislation of a kirl kill kind tiie tile the very antipodes of everything republican for these and many other reasons it is very generally con eon concluded eluded that lie he is exceed exceedingly 0 unfit to hold the high pla pia place cc of tru trust stand and responsibility to which lie has been called and therefore that he ought to be replaced by a more

quiet quietly lv pursue their callings whether religious or secular know nothing about these excitements excite ments true there is a hitch in the transaction of legal bus business i ness but the idea that great groat excitement prevails or that violence may indy be apprehended or that additional troops will be needed is purely imaginary ag inary iDary indeed the people here would seldom suspect
