TIE VERDICT.


We have heretofore reproduced
some OF the comments By the press
upon the Murray infamy Of issuing a
csrsif ate of election to the minority
Candidate for the delegateship. Our
most distant exchanges issued at the
time the news Of the outrage was sent
out, are being received, and We pub
lish below Whist some of them have to
cay in the premises. 1t will be seen
that We quote from the able and in
huential journals of the country, and
they one and all speak in no very
complimentary terms OF Murray and
his crime. Il will also be observed
that TIE newspapers whose editorial
comments We reproduce are not lovers
Of Mormons nor admirers OF Mormon
ism. They are outspoken in
thsir denuncistions OF the Mormon
doctrines az they are seVtrs ia
their remarks upon the unlawful
act Of the Governor. Murray
must begin to think that he has
made al asa Of himselt-soms will
lay the deed at toe door Of nature
and ifhe has any respect for himself
or regard tor the opinions of honest,
capable men, be will keep quiet and
sing low IL the hope that bic infnmy
will die before death claims him. In
view of the avalanche OF adverse
criticism which Is descending upon
him toe proper thing for Murray to
do would be to retire from Office
which be dIsgraces by his occupancy.
Cur esteemed morning corten porary
also must feel unpleasantly lonesome
since lie talented editor has been
forced egeins. his honest convictions
and good judgment TO approve the
outrage. Read what editors, demo
cratic, republican and Independent
have to say @! stealing a territory:
