my OF Utah. has arrived here, and sums up the
Cannon matter by saying that Cannon Is not n
citizen and is Ineligible to any office. His parents
were foreign, and he has never been recognized M
n citizen OF the United States. There IL no Court
record OF his naturalization, and consequently
could not give him certificate. Added TO this
was the aggravation Of his being Mormon polyg
nmist which makes him felon and criminal
against the laws OF the nation. | don't see how
could have done otherwise. wish it distinctly un-
derstood, however that there is not the slightest
bit OF politics in the matter II is not n political
question, but simply question of right and
wrong 10 show the sense Of Congress on the mat
ter, when cannon took his seat before. they admit
ted him, but soon afterwards passed resolution
providing that members Of Territories he qualified
sy ,he sane rule that applied to States, Viz That
ne be citizen OF the United States for seven years
and be over twenty-five years of age. The resolu-
ton went ON to say that any man guilty Of polyg-
amy was ineligible rs Congressman but the rcsu-
luton was unfortunately crushed in the Senate.
Out Of population of 1900 there are fully 49,
90 Gentiles, and these, may say. represent fully
half of the wealth of the Territory, although
Mormons of course, have settled ON nearly all the
land. Things are rather warm out there, but 1
don't apprehend there will be any serious trouble,
except, of course, bad feeling, and that will be
soundly abused by Mormon papers There are
more Gentiles in Utah than the whole population
OF the Territory of Wyoming, and they certainly
have right to be heard.
