Woman Suffrage I'm Utah.

A telegram from Salt Lake City says
the woman suffrage law Of Utah makes
the voting qualifications of women diff
ferent from those of men, and on the
belief that this rendered the law in.
valid application was made to the su-
preme Court of the Territory for a
msndsmus to require the registration
officers to strike the names fall women
from the voting lists. The Court, after
q hearing, has decided that the man
damus will not lie to compel the regis
tration officers to strike off any names
placed by them on the lists, because it
Is not a ministerial act. Another effort
will be made to have the validity of
the law tested in the courts.

nousLEY,s MISTAKE.
The Hinth WARE Contest for ihs
Seat I'm COuneil-ghe COntestani
Fauds himself In saot Water.

The Ninth WARD COntest Ior sn'
Seat I'm COuneil-ghe Contostanl
Finds RimseIftn saot water.
Thomas L. Mouslsy, the defeated
4 Demesrstic eandidsts for Council IN thu
Ninth Ward, having contested the sea-
of David R. Smith, Republican Coun'
Gilman elect, ct the session Of Counci
last Thursday night, and having made
certain allegations against the right o.
~ OF the men who voted for Mr.. Smith
to exercise their right to elective fran.
chise, has placed himself in very un'
comfortable position. There is now
ievery reason to believe that action for
libel will at once be entered against
Mr.. Mousley by those men whose
names have been published as non
residents Of the Ward z non-tax payers,
kc. .. ...
It is positively declared by Rspub,
lican, well acquainted whereof he
speaks, that all the men mentioned. by
Mousley in his document Of contest,
have lived in the ward for the required
time, have been properly assessed and
have paid their taxes.
Several instances are also cited in
which men declared by Mousley 10
have resided out Of the ward for years,
and others to have been Improperly az |
sessed we're. on lastt years assessment
list and. voted on last years tax re-I
ceipts. In view OF the fact that IL can
'be cieariy shown thst Mousley's aiisga
tions are incorrect, the suits will be
entered 90 soon as possible. g,
Apropos Of this conversation which q,
REPUBLICAN reporter had incidentally
with Democrat, himself q resident Of
the Ninth ward, who is possessed Of as
much knowledge Of those who have q
right to vote, as any other man In 1t,
may not be out Of place. 1t was on the
morning after the contest had been pre-
sented in council.
The gentleman alluded to opened the
conversation by saying that he had not
known Of Mr.. Mousley's intention Of
making = contest until Thursday after
noon.
"WhAt do you think Of the contesti"
asked the reporter.
81 do. not think Mr.. Mousley will
succeed in establishing his right to the
seat. So far a Cloud, the contesting
inspector is concerned | think il will bs
far different. He will succeed in the
contest"
"HoH is thati'
"I'll tell you. You zee Smiths ma
jority over Mousley was II, while that
of Lynn over Cloud was only 8. So far
as I san figure II up there were about
ten illegal Republican votes cast, and
they were principally put in by ne
groes who had not been assessed the
full time, and who will not be legal
voters before November next. This is
As much % Mr.. Mousley is able to dc,
and would still give Smith majority
Of Z, while Cloud can prove the same
thing and havsa majority over Lynn
Of two."
The above coming from . most ster-
ling Democrat will be particularly in
teresting at this stage Of the proceed
iDgs.
How many illegal votes can be pro-
duoed or cast by Democrats Is some
thing that will be known in plenty Of
tims to make the contest interesting
when it comes mp on Monday night,
Oct. 11th, the time fixed for the hear
ing.

so perfectly clear in every case as to
leave no room for conjecture. This was
not due in any sepse yesterday to those

won the former and Dora the latter, Ii

Buzz Medium won the 8 minute race
with very little trouble and did no,
trot as fast as she csuld, by any means
to do it. Irene who did good trotting
last year in the closing day took the
2 81 race, leading all the time in the
three heats, in the rather slow time Of
2.32, which was the fastest of the day
and only second and q half faster than
the best time In the 2.28 race. This
was taken by the Dover fsvorite Tom
Bsyard as easily as Irene, Buzz Medium
