With the dawn of 1890, a political agitation and controversy which had prevailed for many years was brought to a satisfactory conclusion through the disbandment of the two political dominant parties--in the People's and the Liberal's parties. The former was in substance the Mormon church Party, which in order to protect their property and often their lives, were under the necessity of being united in political, as well as other matters, to thus have mutual protection. The Liberals, so styled, comprised the element made up of those not of our faith, who conniving with apostates from our Church sought to usurp all political offices. The "Carpet Baggers" already possessed all Federal offices and in connection with the Liberals sought to control the county offices as well. In co-operation with R. R. Tanner, was successful in prevailing upon the Liberal element to disband and organize upon National Party lines. This agreement becoming effective, the Democratic and Republican parties were unorganized. The majority of the people, led by me, alligned themselves with the Democratic party, but as time passed in the course of a few years, the Republicans dominated politics and become the party in power.
