Show We surrender our usual editorial space this evening to the trans-Mississippi Commercial congress notice. While we do so we venture to suggest to our county and city authorities that it is very important that we send a good, strong and representative delegation dele-gation to the meeting. We are in deep sympathy with all the purposes for which the congress will strive and it Is important that we have representatives represen-tatives present. We would rejoice if every county in this territory would send delegations of their best and most wideawake busineBB men. We think Utah has as much interest in the general commercial good of the west as any other state and therefore urge the question of her proper representation with all the earnestness we are possessed pos-sessed of. The bright new uniforms of the Loos'e clubs went to Salt Lake Monday to celebrate the republican victory. Just what part of it they can celebrate we do not see clearly. In Utah county they were most beautifully flattened out. Their cheif made a gallant but inefec-tual inefec-tual effort, but with all of his great personal popularity, money and beauti fully upholstered marching, firiDg, flambeau and band clubs the "short sighted" people beat him. So just whv they should celebrate we don't know, not that it is any business of ours. These things go in eccentric circles sometimes and this is one of the times when the good voters of Utah county preferred democratic methods. Xow there ought to be pler ty of business and money to do it with, if the republican claim of lack of confidence confi-dence in democratic methods is well founded. But the tale told by our voiceless and deserted silver mines, is of another tin? entirely. Let the cowering republican majority in congress con-gress press a free coinage bill and see if Mr. Cleveland will sign it. Colobado is smiling at her republican republi-can victory. We feel quite sure that it will be some years before we hear of Waite again. Now let the pops whirl in with the democrats and make head against the republicans, or at least endeavor en-deavor to make some sort of an opposition oppo-sition to the republicans. If it was a lack of confidence in the democracy which caused the bard timeB, we suppose the times will be all rieht after this. There is little state democracy now anywhere that we know anything about. So there 13 a i clear, open field for the republican reformers. It seems that tie republicans had the advantage of the large number of new made voters, notwithstanding the charge that the democratic judges were naturalizing the foreigners simply to get their votes. It don't hurt so much after you eet used to it. But these landslides do harrow up a fellow a good deal, there is to denying it. Wish there was. The Herald's third term idea isn't feasible in any sense of the term. We, for one, have had enough of the official Mr. Cleveland. Frakkie and his black hair cut no small figure in yesterday's pageant in gait Lake. We'll haye to tip the other fellows a landslide next year, to get even. |
