THE WASHINGTON Republic: "The

Governor Murray at the head, gener-

much 3 possible. To build up q
religious creed of any kind, no matter

nothing ike an opposition the char
act9riatic OF which is an unfsirness
which savOrs Of persecution. Governor
Murray las done more for Mormon
ism through his outrageous violation
OF the rights Of the electors of Utah
than any OF the prophets since
Brigham Young. The proposition
of the present administration at
the early part of its incum-
bency to strike down the marriage tie
and make hundreds OF misguided VIC
men outcssts snd thousands of limo
cent children Legitimate is scarcely
less m0nsirous. Nov, Governor Neil.
of Idaho, Is adding his fuel &c tbs
fame by recommending equally pre-

Mormon church. Under such infia-

growth of polygsmy? That it is
an evil and an abomination in
the light OF civilization and Christi
anity no one, not a member OF the

there sre worse evils. o. these are
the Wanton sacrifice OF every principle
OF eelf-gogernment and human liberty
and the immolation of an innocent
people upon the altar of religious
hatred"
