Democratic Evasion in Territorial Conference Letter
The Territorial Republican Committee recounts a June conference with Democratic central members Comin Huster and J C Barnp asserting the Democrats showed lack of quorum and failed to commit to non-partisan action. They claim the Albany and Uinta county stances hindered any unified call for non-partisan support. The letter ends noting the Democrats chose to let the matter go by default.
