Show THE REASONS. . Salt Lake, March 25, 1886. Editob Democrat : Will you please explain ex-plain why you know that the Governor was "deposed" for "good and sufficient reasons," as stated in to-night's Democrat, when in that of the 24th you say you don't know the reasons ? A Libebix. The fact that Governor Murray's resignation resig-nation has been requested or demanded is the strongest kind of evidence that good reasons exist why he should be re lieved from office "good and sufficient reasons" to the President, whose intentions inten-tions with regard to numerous changes likely to be made in Utah at no distant day are known only to himself and his constitutional advisers. What the specific spe-cific grounds are upon which the President Presi-dent bases his action, we do not know, and what is more, we do not care, j We believe that, under a Democratic Administration, Ad-ministration, the Federal offices everywhere every-where should be filled by Democrats, except in cases and such cases are too rare to be worth mentioning where the public service would suffer from such a change. Entertaining this view, and believing be-lieving that the President will appoint a first-class man as Governor Colonel Merritt, as Mr.' Baskin says, would be a good man for the position we can see "good and sufficient reasons," on political grounds alone although it is not known that those are the grounds upon which the President bases his action why the request should be made for Murray's resignation. The duties of that office can be discharged by a Democratic Demo-cratic Governor equally as well as by a Republican Governor, and that is reason enough, in all conscience, for anybody who realizes that a Democratic Administration Admin-istration is now taking a trick at the governmental gov-ernmental wheel of the ship of state. |
