clearly 0 o I 1 early I 1 points out the facts fact that there tal tai 01 mt 01 Is now how no democratic organization in in utah that for tor the last six or eight years the individuals now claiman claiming to 4 dictate to democrats what they shall aali adopt as a test of their standing have not only the organization to go 90 into decay but have acted with other parties oppose opposed ol to the

be H committee are not recognized ged by that thit panty panny tile the only chairman of bf any committee of df th the party that we know of is ig hadlett Hadl hadi eyT johnson but the organization as the derald herald 11 erald states has cne to decay and if the democrats of utah intend to take any part in national I 1 politics lef leg they should reorganize on a basis broad enough to include all citi zeb zeh who stand by genera if democratic lini Kini principles Aples and with limits 16 well weli donned that those who reject any of p those principles may not be numbered in its membership the dably gelf geif constituted committee speaks entirely without authority but this is not all ail in its attempt td dic tate what whiz shall form the political creed ol of utah democrats Demo brats it goes 0 e s widely f astray from democratic 4 doctrine and i demonstrates its object to be not the promotion of the democracy but the subjugation of the majority of th the q people people of utah the very first i principle laid down in the address of the committee and adherence to which they make binding on all who participate in primaries or county meeting stis sive bave asive of true democratic doctrine dullere i nere here it is 11 1 that all just powers of covern govern ment are derived from the consent ot the governed and in all cases where these powers are ascertained and determined ter mined by decisions of courts of last resort their judgments are arc conclusive of all questions of power decided and binding on every citizen and all at tempts to call in question questioner onor or defeat vj them are factious and revolutionary the first part of it is all right but the attempt in the latter part to deny the right of the people to call in question the omm off official leial doings of one branch of ort that government which derives all its just powers from the consent of the governed is rank political heresy and savors of despotism rather than dc def mo cracy we need only to refer to the recent decision of the supreme court of the united states in the legal ten der den dorcase case it is meeting with general denunciation from the democratic press it is shown to be subversive of the true interests of the country and hostile to the constitution we will make just one quotation it is from the american register egister Is published at washington D U C and not excelled in the country as an able and vigorous exponent of jeffersonian democracy every department of the gov emment has deteriorated and become corrupted by the long iong continuance of the party in power even the supreme court of the united states has become so far as to declare in a recent de decision ision that the standard of value of the commercial world is not by our constitution made the basis of our money system this sweeps away at once the foundation of our financial system and of the credit and character of our government at home anti and abroad and subjects the country hereafter to the deplorable evils of an irredeemable paper money system judge ludge fields dissenting opinion on this decision expresses true democratic ideas and shows up the fallacy of the reasons reasoning of the court baethe but the democrats of anah utah are to be deprived of the right of calling that decision in question and of the right to make an any y attempt of any kind in opposition to it and the men who thus attempt to tle tie up american citizens in this way call themselves democrats and assume to dictate what democrats shall believe and act upon by what logic will they justify the change of ruling on this question by thu the tho supreme preme court in 1870 60 the court decided to the exact reverse of its latest ruling on the rule laid down above it was factious and revolutionary to call the first decision in question tion and if any democrat thinks the first decision right and as a consequence the last decision wrong and should call it iu in question in anyway any way he would be thrust out of the party by this wonderful territorial committee we pass to the consideration of a resolution Ee solution embodied in the committees mit tees declaration of principles which is as follows resolved Se solved that it is the solemn duty of the government to provide a suitable law for suppressing ing the practice of polygamy in a the territories and proper officials to enforce it that this el gigant gantic iq evil which has bas so iong long ion lon flourished lied tied in spite of thereat the zeal zeat zealot of republican conventions and the apathy of republican administration administrations si shall cease this is the thet root of the icho whole lc matter and shows the movement to be nothing but a dodge of the liberal party to which all of the committee really belong and of which they are active members to force upon the democratic party an issue which does docs not mot belong to it according to true democratic doctrine one prill principle tiple of which is announced at the opening of the p precious address from which 19 ye be quote the Government has no HO autho rity nty t to legislate to directly for the territories tories nor to govern any people eople altu out the consent co ils its ent of people and this resolution would commit democrats to antl anti antidemocratic democratic doctrine and institute r the party a mere more

legislate slate on the subject of marriage 9 in any waynor to make laws for any territory without giving the people a voice in the selection of those who i make 11 ake those thos laws and anyone who denies that proposition denies simple democratic fundamentals but the persons figuring as the head and front of this pretended democratic organization are not democrats either elther in principle or act they have helped to sustain radical republican candidates for offida office they are hand and glove giove with the blackest kind of black republicans in all their political schemes for fon the enthralment of this community they seek to obliterate every particle of democratic government in this territory they want to destroy the elective franchise in butali utah they whey encourage cn burago

citizens to a condition worse than any kind of serfdom that exists in any part of the civilized world democrats they have no democratic spirit or principles among them such as they nave have bave put forth in their address are arc merely used as a bli bit blind n d and are contradicted in the very same breath with which they the are uttered no true democrat will will submit to their assumed leadership or be bound by their antidemocratic anti democratic dicta there are many persons in utah who entertain the true principles of jenners Jeffers jeffersonian onlan damoci democracy adland and if the they y want to organize they should do so independent of men who have prostituted prostitutes their influence to the support of those who are open enemies of the democracy as they are of
