Depressing Effect on she Hard
Of tine GENTLE Interests.
NEW York, Dec. IL.
The Tribune says the announcement
of the unex pected strength of the
greenback and silver men IN the Sen
ate, and the danger of the passage of
the Bland silver bill, had a depressing
effect on the hard money men in Wall
street yesterday, and checked the sale
of four per cent. bonds. 1t Is under
stood that negotiations for 81 500 900 of
the $1,000 900 issue of four per cents
terminated abruptly.
A Washington special says that
Judge Joseph c. Hemmingrail, of Salt
Lake City, has arrived here to repre-.
sent the Gentle interests before Con-
gress. He bears credentials which sc-
credit him as a representative of the
entire Gentle element Of the Territory,
which has raised money by subscrip-
ton to maintain the delegation at
Washington until the desired Iegisla
ton shall have been secured. Judge
Hemmingrail expects his colleagues
after the holiday recess. He was sci
at this time ia order to have the nec-
essary bills presented as early as possi-
BILE. He has come prepared to remain
through the session. He says the
Utah Gentiles ask a law regulating
elections aud the elective franchise.
The general features of the bill, pre-
pared by the Gentiles are, first: Pro-
viding a secret ballot, which Is now
denied. Tho present system Is, that
when q ballot Is received from an
elector 1t Is numbered, and q corre-
spending number is entered on the
book, and the electors name written
opposite, SO that the vote he polls may
be known to thu priesthood. Second
The provision repeating the Territorial
law giving the right of suffrage TO
women. Third: A prohibition against
holding office, and the right to vote q
1t any all elections by ~polygamists,
Fourth: A law against polygamy,
which will have no loop-hole for the
Mormon leaders to crawl through.
Judge Heiningrail says this Law
draft. which Is ready to go before Con
gress. provides . penalty for continu'
ing in polygamy. and makes the evi
dence of rehabilitation evidence of po'
lygamous marriage. He thinks the
prospects for success are good. Judge
C~hristiancy has charge Of tho bill.
