Show A LAST APPEAL. A Few Tixely Remark to the Voters of Utah County. To the Editor of The Evening Dispatch. In the past few weeks we have seen the republican party arraigned at the bar of the commonwedlth is give an account of its stewardship in tie past thirty years of continuous rule. . What has been its defense and apology apol-ogy for the present condition of the county?
