TROUBLES WITH THE GovzRNoRS-THE LAST
ELEcTIoN.
In Utah we have, as the local governing
power, the Legislature and the Governor.
The latter is not elected, but is appointed by
the President. He possesses the extraordi-
nary power OF final veto upen any acts of the
Legislature. There is no appeal from his de-
cision. Now, the Governor is generally Sc
lected from some enc of the States and hav.
ing no landed interest or permanent residence
in the Territory, he has nothing in common
with the people. who are compelled to submit
to his absolute dictation. The Governor
comes, as rule. with his principles con-
trac.ed in Christian community, and gener-
ally vetoes any measures passed in the inter-
ests of the people. The result of the last
election shows how unjust this is, and how
only o Mormon representative can do justice
to large masses of the people. In the contest
over the election Of Territorial Delegate to
Congress in November, the Democrats and
the Republicans were united against the
Mormons, as they always are. Our party is
called the Peoples party. The opposition
polled Is, 600 votes for their candidate, while
our nominee was elected, receiving Is, Geo
votes This will serve to illustrate the pre-
ponderance of the Mormon interests, and IS
the strongest possible argument in favor of
letting US have the power of regulating our
own local affairs.
ANXIOUS TO ENTER THE UNION.
"Utah will never give up her effort to enter
the Union. The United States officials keep
up constant war upon us. Why? We
have stood ten times as much from these Off
GERS as any other community would without
striking back. But there is one thing which
Americans need never fear, we cannot be
tempted to act as the Sousherners did at Fort
Sumter. Although the Republic treats us
badly, still We love its flag, respect its laws
and win fight for its principles.
THE ANTI MORMON FEELING.
"People in the country surrounding us seem
to feel bitterly towards the Mormops. | don't
know why. Oar men are manly and our
women are virtuous. The Mormon married
gentlemen do rot do as married men 10 the
refined East, deceive woman and then
throw her and her child upon the world, to
starve or live life Of shame. He has the
courage and honor to give that woman his
name, to assume the responsibility of provid-
ing for her and her children, and give her a
happy hon;o."
BEEcHER, TALMAGE AND ISGERsoLL.
Piper said that Beecher was greatly ad.
mirei by the Mormon people. After lectur-
ing there be left good impression. L ey
are not enthusiastic about Talmage, whose
style they regard as too jerky and harsh.

There has never been and never will be room

beforehand. Applause He congratulated
them on the auspicious opening of Galtisld's
administration. We know otfice-seeking is q
proper pursuit Of mankind [iaughter] and
although places are scarce we get along on
the whole comfortably The wise financial
policy cf the last Administration has been
carried cut and supplemented. He paid the
highest compliment to Secretary Window for
his skillful judgment in this matter, but took
the edge of it off by remarking that he was
an Ohio boy The debt which frightened
brave men fifteen years ago has melted away
like snow before the summer sun.
Senator Sherman concluded: | believe

nation like OURS, and we will send him our
approval twice over again. But, my country
men, we have something to do in this task
We have got to emphasize our approval BY
indorsing this Administration in the election
of Republican ticket this fall. This is no
child's play, as we know. The Republican
party has powerful adversary. This being
so we dare not do anything wrong. They
will push US off cur stages if we do not
behave ourselves, and that is the only use
know Of for the Democratic party. Let u.s.
then, do our party work as the Republicans
of Ohio know how to work, aud victory will
perch upon cur banners.
