| Show AN ERROR CORRECTED ED DEMOCRAT I think your reporter must have misunderstood mis-understood the language of the Hon Ben Sheeks and was therefore led to commit an error when he makes Mr Sheeks say in the speech made by him last night in Ogden There has never been an organization organi-zation of the Democratic party in Utah In order therefore to set your reporter right on this question as well as to vindicate vindi-cate the truth of history affairs in Utah i I respectfully ask for space in the columns of your paper to state as facts the following follow-ing There has been in Utah a organized or-ganized Democratic party The organization organiza-tion to which I refer was effected in the year 1872 and existed continuously until the year 1876 Delegates were duly accredited by this organization and believe actually represented re-presented it in the National Democratic Conventions held respectively in 3872 and 1876 During the last named year however I believe the organization was allowed to lapse for reasons satisfactory to the organization at the time During the existence of the organization organiza-tion to which I here refer the Hon Ben Sheeks was elected to preside and did preside at a mass meeting or convention i of delegates of Democrats held in this city This fact leads one to the belief that your reporter misunderstood and therefore incorrectly reported that portion por-tion of Mr Sheeks speech forit seems to me impossible that the latter gentleman gentle-man should have forgotten the above facts Should anyone be in doubt as to the correctness of these statements I presume pre-sume that such doubt would be dispelled by reference to the columns of the Salt Lake Daily Herald Respectfully A DEMOCRAT |
