Papers report a most wonderful Democratic majority in most of the largest states in the Union as well as in Utah.
Like a tidal wave it has swept the whole country landing the Republican party high & dry.
I called on Junior [i.e., Francis M. Lyman Jr.] at his office and from him learned of the crushing defeat of the republicans throughout the United States. It is a Perfect landslide for the Democratic party in Utah as well as throughout the Nation. It comes as the voice of a great people in thunder tones. Republicans bow humbly to the sovereign will. We all acknowledge the ha[n]d of God in it all.
