Show THE REPUBLIC IN DANGER GE R A bat at tho the meeting of special committees entrusted with the work of preparing for an appropriate celebration of the F fourth held on tuesday evening the propriety of introducing a military display into the parade was spoken of the autocratic gubernatorial anti mili tary proclamation issued bythe by alie departed shafer was then thrust into view as an impregnable obstruction however in accordance with a motion then and there made a committee of three was appointed to wait upon his excellency governor murray and petition for the privilege of introducing a military feature into the independence day proceedings the gentlemen composing the committee are judge williams dr condon and mr beardsley the courteous host of the beardsley house while we believe there is is no harm in making the request in question we have but small hopes of its being granted there are many reasons why it should not it is asserted that there is a species of ono one man power in utah which ought to be crushed if one man has to do it of course the issuance of the aforementioned afore mentioned procla mat mation ionin in direct conflict wit with lithe alie right of the people to bear beai arms might possibly be considered as having a slight leaning to the one man system it might also be assumed by some unreasonable creatures creature of course that the issuing of a certificate of election to a candidate who received 1300 of the peoples votes in place of to the gentleman who got over 18 I was an act slightly tinged with the one man business a sort of czarism as it were the absolute veto power held by the territorial governor by which ho bb can by the power of his own will become a first class obstructionist may have the appearance of a good deal of discretion in one man as opposed to the will of the people it may not look exactly as if in accordance with the spirit ottrue of true republicanism but one man mail power is only wrong in ill one way when it is in the other mans hands then be before fore granting the partial or 01 special suspension of the shafer proclamation governor I murray will have to cons consider ider whether or not such an act would jeopardize the existence of the republic if tho the yeomen of utah were allowed to parade with anything more destructive than broom handles from villes factory the sweat of terror might run down the nose of the nation we aro are inclined to think that the governor is too patriotic to allow of people to be thrown into an exhaustive fright by two or three hundred citizens of ogden and vicinity then the evil might not stop with ogden f for or inthis if this growing town were granted exemption from the pains an and d pe penalties n threatened to fall upon the heads of all who dare ignore ignon without gubernatorial permission the wonderful enlightened reasonable patriotic and magnanimous shafer proclamation what reason co could uld be adduced by his excellency for refusing the same privilege should they oak ask it to the inhabitants of hot springs echo or any other of the densely populous cities of utah whose people might arise in mighty rebellion and descend like an ir avalanche upon th tho D JI helpless of thia this powerless republic and if such a petition were grantor what the governor sayin the great hereafter when brought face to face with the shade of the departed shafer shaf er we remember well with much vividness the he first f military parade iu in gait salt lake after the proclamation was issued A few sedre re of men met on the word ward school

course the whole thing was finally viewed in the light of a farce but what a stupendous issue would be involved if col ottinger should encouraged by an exemption of ogden from t the he terrors odthe of the gubernatorial proclamation lay down the brush of ofilio the artist and take up vp the ringing ri rifle fl e if mr savage a warlike name should forsake his negatives and disjoint his joint leadership of old folks excursions and leap into the field of military tactics tactic sand and if mr graham should leave his E enquirer by laying down his pen to take up the glittering but less powerful sword in fact it would scarcely do to take any step that would arouse a military fervor th that atwould would shake shak the republic from centre to circumference the nation must be kept I intact at any price we hope the committee will wait upon the governor but we think they will have to wait a good while for his consent we are inclined to believe that it will be moved by judge mcbride seconded by J hollister and carried unanimously by the governor that the matter be held under advisement decision to bo be rendered on the tile ath or ath of july 1881 or that some other similar method of disposal be adopted but we can have a good rousing fourth of july notwithstanding the preparations are in excellent hands the tha gentlemen of the central committee are enterprising and spirited and those of the sub com have been well and wisely selected so do not let us bo be despond en teven if we can only have the fife and spirit stirring drum minus the other accompaniments of
