Jack Mormonism among the Gen
tiles. During his speech, which wa
also literally applauded. be argneC
why Utah, under the present circum
stances, should not be admitted as
state; the argumet being somewhat
new version OF the old subject.
| Judge Mcbride was next called for
and made speech. stating that the
Liberals commenced their meetings
by g.umbling and wound them up
with a grumble ard there was q
reason for it. 1t was because they
did not enjoy their rights; there is a
good cause, and that cause is
because the present form of govern
ment here is not republican; il was a
government ior the people, but not 3
government by the people. He was
in favor of demanding that the Legis-
lature be taken away from the people
who have held it and abused it for 8
generation, and placing it in other
hands. This remark was greeted
with burst OF stamping on the floor.
With his friend Hsgsn, il these
things are not changed, he was in
favor of enforcing the lava at the
point Of the bsyOnet, or any other
point. Polygamy, to him was but
one thing; he was opposed to the whole
system, and these manifestations,
polygamy being one. we're but e7i-
dences of the evil. He also proposed
to remain here and fight this thing
out. He said the statement that
the Gentiles here we're making a
crusade on the Mormons for the sake
of getting their property was simply
nonsense; he did not know any BODY
who wanted any such thing. He
then paid compliment to Mr..
Campbell and wound up.
General Bane then called on
Governor Murray, the call being
loudly taken up. and the Governor
rose. He thanked them for the call;
and said there we're great many
people in this territory who know so
much more than he did or ever could
know, that he was afraid to speak.
There were people who knew Joe
Smith was prophet; he did not know
It. and be coul1 not know it. There
we're wrongs here which should be
lighted; the work was a great
and a good work; tue resolutions
we're such as should received the sup.

understand it. You have duty to

General Bane was also loudly
alled upon and spoke, and delivered
imself with FIRE of the fundamental
principles of the government, and
pplied them to Utah. He made \
lumber of so called points, and when. {
yer they we've in any way funny or .

tamping applause.
