"A MORMON, who has arrived In Chi
cago for the purpose of marrying his
firth wife, writes the following curious
note to the Tribune of thatcity:
'EdiitOrs Chicago Tribune:
i"On my visit to Chicago noticed an
article In tho 1J.ibuile in regartfto Utah.
That Speaker Colfax expressed n wish
that President Young might have a
revelation prohibiting polygamy, is to
me "a matter of some doubt. On the
contrary, have reason to know that
Speaker COlflX elQquen1y- expressed
his gratitude Mt the domestic happiness
of our community- Lam n, Mormon
born and bred, and the husband of four
wives, and what may seem strange, my
mission Is one of love, to transplant n
flawer from this sterile (morally)r lati-
tudetO bloom and flourish Incur hap
by home. We have no wish to BIO nd
mitted into your fUnion'-nor do we
wish Mt one fell swoop TO be divorced
| from our wives aud families. 1t seems
TO mo II would DO wise to let uS Nor
mons alone, and devote your moral lee
lures to n community whore u nun oil
woman can marry and be divorced
three times in rs many years.
