Show A Democratic Administration It is fair to Pay that seveneighths of the people of Utah rejoiced more or less heartily and intelligently over the election elec-tion of GROVKR CLEVELAND Onehalf of I the members of the Liberal party were Democrats in the States The Peoples party comprising fully threefourths of the voters of the Territory were well pleased with the result of the great j I national contest The mass of that party I I fel that they would at least be no worse off under a Democratic administration and they hoped that in some way there would be l an improvement There appear to be substantial reasons why Mr CLEVELANDS election should prove a blessing to Utah 1 In the first place there will doubtless be a fair trial of the Democratic doctrine that the best government springs from the people themselves Only through the exercise of power do we become fitted t < 5 use power and a territory unused to governing gov-erning itself could never develop into a prosperous State It is true that in the Territories among a scattered population made up of incon tjeruoimmaterial there is i greater danger of unjust and foolish enactments than in old settled States cranks and enthusiasts may combine establish customs usages and laws l at variance with the plainest principles of common sense and hence Congress may and should use its superior power to prevent the establishment of systems repugnant to civilization and in consistcnt with the general practice of the whole land yet so far as safely may be permitted the Territory of Utah will be encouraged to do the best it can for itself Everything will be done under a Democratic administration that a spirit of fairness and moderation can suggest to induce the people of Utah to voluntarily volunta-rily abandon those ways which have brought discredit upon us all in the eyes of the civilized world lresident CLCVE LAND will seek to enlarge rather than restrain re-strain the powers of the people until it shall be demonstrated beyond all doubt that they will not do right 2 A Democratic administration will not judge Utah in a spirit of hostility Itwill desire to create for itself friends and to foster a Democratic State Feeling the obligations of his official oath President CLEVELAND will enforce the law firmly consistently and honestly no Democrat expects him to do less he would be un worthyof his high place did he waver in this and no exception need be looked for in Utah but once within the pale of the law there is nothing which a magnificent generosity can suggest which will he refused re-fused to our people Our Territory has been used as a ghost to scare wavering voters away from the Democratic and into Republican old We shall deprive de-prive the Republican party of this much campaign thunder if we can They have I reviled Utah beyond every limit of truth or justicewe hpp that our magnificent mountain principality will come out from under the cloud of evil reproach and shine the brightest star in the Democratic firmament 3 And we believe a Democratic administration ad-ministration will be represented in Utah by better men We shall have executive officers whose lives are in every way consistent con-sistent with the dignity of their station whose courtesy of speech shall be alike extended to all classes and conditions of men who shall be above malice and incapable in-capable of dishonesty We want patient men for the animosities engendered by thuforjraayxflf Aiiilf cHhnot be Uprt1 tedl in a day aiid we wamfuVaniy men wild will not pose for effect upon the States butwork for the good of all the people l before whom they are called to stand I J |
