Show THE SITUATION. Views of Gen. jlcClcrnanil ami Gen. Sunders on it. The Dispatch Correspondent Had a CJiat With Them LaatNisrht.-HcCleriaand is Claar Headed. Sundars yet Dubious. Salt Lake, August 6. Srecial to The DisrATClI. Your coi respondent had a conversation this evening wah two gentlemen whose prominence entitles en-titles their opinions to consideration, j They were General McCIernand andj Governor Sanders of the I tan Commis-j sion, and the subject of discussion was i the movement for the division of the I people of the territory, politically , en ! national party lines. Gener.d Mc- j demand was one of the tiist to ndvo- J cate this, and when asked to-night if he had changed his opinion he replied : ! "No, when 1 come to a couclusion ufier '' careful consideration I am not lik-iv to change it. My idea has been that ihe j people here should identify themselves ! with the two great parties and thus' place themselves beyond the control of! special influences. That the oraniza-. tion on national party lines will ie sue-! cessfully proceeded with. I haven't the ' least doubt. It is one of tlie elements I of the progress of the day. The work j is, in my opinion, irrepressible." i "Then the result of the recent elec- j tion lias 2onlirmetl your opinion? ' "It has. The result outside of the city is surprising." "The division must corne"' assented Governor Sanders; "it is only a question ques-tion of time." " Why should it be delayed at all?" asked your correspondent. "Well," replied the Governor, "the outside people think the Monnoii people should be given a little time in which to demonstrate their sinci r.ty iu this matter. Thev have aiw ays'i e- j lieved in a system radically dide rent ' from the one they now espouse, j They have united Church ami Slate and when ttiey turn from that So sud- j denly to something so different, a little time slion'd elapse before that action is j accepted as being just what tt purports to he. It is a question m my mind, whether tney have taken lids step be- : cause they bebeved it to be. right or be- j cause they were forced to take it by 'circumstance.-!.. The fact will soon be j demonstrated, how ever, and as I' p;ii l ; before, I suiui.t t'mt it is only a ques-: tion of a short time. "In IS.Si'," said General McC'b rnaml. "these people adopted a constiiu' ion ' inhibiting polygamy . and the L-g.sla-j tore followed them up with a ivs-lu I tion on the subject ; the manifesto was issued aud adopted; then the People's j party was abaudom d. Now, 1 ask you. what more they can do to prove their sincerity'." Tiie question remains unanswered,'! as Governor Sanders left jusi then to keep an appointment. ! KIIId His Crazy Brother.
