GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, April 6.-The
Mormon Republican convention, in session
last evening IN this city, elected Frank
Fuller and Thomas Fitch delegates to the
Philadelphia convention, and George A.
Smith and William Jennings alternates.
The platform adopted IS quite elaborate. 1t
sets forth that the Republican party had its
origin in the necessities of the nation. 1t
was an embodiment Of the demand for a
publication of the government from the
corruption growing out of human slavery,
and no party in history has so grand
record: that the public policy of the admin
istration with a few exceptions, has been in
full keeping with the high prestige of the
Republican party.
The resolutions pledge the party to
countenance of the party measures OF the
past, with such notifications as experience
and eXigencies may suggest. They depre-
ciate the course of many of the federal otf-
GERS in Utah, but express confidence that
the administration will relieve the people OF
the expressions so long borne: that no
portion of the people should be deprived of
a voice in the election OF those who execute
the laws: that the elective system IS to
prepare the people for selt-government, not
to rob them of it. and it is the duty of the
Republican party to see that Utah be
restored to her national right.
A delegation Of merchants and mine own
ers, to protest against the admission of
Utah as State, left for Washington this
morning.
