We hear that the City Administrators, as

the Firemen's Charitable Association to
purchase machines, appurtenanees, etc.
Mr.. Marks, president of the association, not
having power to give an answer, has called
a meeting for Saturday night to consider
the matter, and so the subject stands. 1t is
thought the City Hall will reconsider it's
action-at least, such is the belief on the
streets. There has been considerable con-
troversy over the matter, and It has
awakened all sorts Of feelings.

on that notorious measure. Great

employment on the 4th Of March last,
0aughter), he came to Utah-nOt at all
in search Of similar employment, for
he desired no more of the same kind.
Laughter.) He came here t practice
his profession. and since his residence
here. now of about two months dura-
ton, he had been endeavOring to at
tend to his own and his clients bust
ness, and permit others to do the
same. (Applause.l ...I..
Some persons had tried to make this
troublesome to him, and had endeav-
ored to identify him with matters in
which he had never participated di-
rectly or indirectly, even by a SuggeS-
ton. He was glad to find himself
surrounded tonight by old friends
and constituents who knew him and
would not misunderstood and misrep-
resent him.
He had his own opinion about pub
lie affairs in Utah. He vas probably
more opposed to the peculiar institu-
ton of polygamy than some of the
leaders of the liberal party; but he
accorded to others the same right he
claimed for himself. to worship God
or any quantity or quality of Gods, as
they pleased. He did not believe in
continually meddling with other peo-
pies affairs. The riff raft (cheers)

work altogether. (Laughter). They

asked nothing but justice n the pro-
lection of the laws: and they proposed

mon or Gentle. (Applause). There
was no danger of being too magnani-
nous. for charity is usually only JUS
tice in a fit of generosity. Probably
the MornonS made a mistake in not
meeting new comers-especially from
Nevada-and offering them all the
paving offices in the Territory on arri-
val. (Laughter). The Republicans,
when they had control there, always
made haste to givethe offices to Demo-
cratic politicians laughter); and the
new Democratic Governor of Nevada
had been insisting upon appointing
RepublIcanS to place ever since he
was sworn in (laughter). Still, they
were not used to these things in Utah.
They would be all right after a while.
He recognized. in the meantime, the
perfect right of the Gentiles to obtain
political power il they can. and the
perfect right of the Mormons to retain
power if theyican ~(applause). He did
not, however, believe that a party
founded upon a platform so narrow
and So ephemeral as opposition to
MormonS could succeed. He did not
believe that a local party distinct from
great national political organizations
would he enduring. They must all,
Mormon and Gentle. mix together,
and when the time came divide into
different parties and not foster religious
strife OIL doctrinal or narrow minded
factions. Only SO could they have
peace and order, and good govern
ment and prosperity. only SO could
the State of Utah join the Federal
Union, as she would join it ere three
Years had passed away cheers. He
gave in conclusion the toast. Every
