Delegate Cannon. Of Utah, Is making
q big and . hard fight 10 retain his seat
as b delegate TO congress from Utah.
Besides having gone to extraordinary
and expensive means Of notifying Mr..
Campbell of a contest, he has employed
counsel and has gone into the manda-
mus business, in order to compel Act
ing Governor Thomas to issue to him
a certificate of election.
1t Sin be remembered that in the
Utah election Mr.. Geo. Q. Cannon and
Mr.. Allen Campbell were candidates.
OF curse the vast majority Of the
votes Of the territory were given to Mr..
Cannon, who is well known as a lead
ing mormon, with four wives.
1t seems that there is no -canvassing
board in Utah, the duty of counting the
votes and passing upon them devoIving
upon the governor. Accordingly. Gov.
Murray canvassed the votes and issued
a certificate of election to Nj. Camp
bell, although Mr.. Cannon had the vast
majority of votes. Gov. Murray justi-
fed his action on the ground that Mr..
Cannon was an alien and not a natur-
allied citizen; he was not therefore ell
gible for the position, and hence wasn't
| elected.
Mr.. Cannon's first step was to notify
MI. Campbell that the seat would be
contested. As the matter stands, Mr..
Campbell has got a certificate Of cleo
ton, and this gives him a prima faeis
right to a seat. Mr.. Cannon must then
enter into a contest against him in or
der to gain a seat.
Meanwhile Cannon's counsel have
tried another method, namely, to compel
Acting Governor Thomas (Gov. Murray
being absent) by mandamus to issue a
certificate of election to Mr.. Cannon.
The respondent demurred to the writ
on Tuesday last on the following prin-
cipal grounds: ~ That the writ asked
for involved a compulsory performance
OF a discretionary and Judicial duty, in
asmuch as the governor personally can
vases the votes. and must, perforce,
act both in a ministerial and Judicial
capacity. ~ That the court had no
jurisdiction, because the legislative,
judicial and executive were coordinate
branches of the government, distinct
and independent of each other. Also
that the governor of Utah was not
responsible to the court but to the
federal source of power.
OF course the counsel for the pc IT,
TONER combatted these points. and held
that it was simply the duty Of the gov
ernor to count the votes and issue q
certificate of election to the person re-
ceiving n majority of the votes cast. If
a question of eligibility arose, it was the
duty and exclusive power of congress
to decide.
Judge Twiss presided at the hearing
and announced that he would deliver
his decision on Wednesday yesterday
morning.

THE LIGHT.


Messrs. T. G.. Johnston and C. G.
Ruthrauff, the Brush electric light
men, came up from Denver yesterday
and went on west. They have sue.
ceeded in organizing a company to put
down a ''plant" and operate the Brush
electric light system. Some of the best
men of Denver are interested.
Mr.. Johnston says that after visiting
a western town he viii return to Chey-
enne and endeavor to organize a com
pany to light the city of Cheyenne. II
will pay a company well TO light the
city and have fifty stores besides. The
city should pay about $4,000 per an.
nun while the stores would be assessed
about $50 each per annnm.
The city would require about two
towers and a dozen street lamps, and
every street would then be light as day,
through all the hours of the night.
Messrs. Johnston and Ruthrauff have
the right to operate the Brush system
in all the western states and territories,
Their method is to organize stock com
panies to build the works and buy the
necessary machinery and then enter in.
to a contract with the city governments
to light the streets.
Business houses, he says, always in
sist upon having the electric light be-
cause it saves insurance.

Billy Leroy. the Stage Robber, Proves
to be BILLY Pond, OF Iowa.

billy Leroy, the StuSc ltODDcr, frOves
to be BILLY Pond. OF Iowa.
The readers of the Republican will
recall the arrest of William Leroy, the
San Juan and Gunnison stage robbcr,
whose complete and interesting con-
fession appeared in these columns a
short time ago. 1t has been ascertained
that Leroy is an alias, and that the
prisoners name is William Pond. A
few days ago n man named Thomas
Claire applied to the authorities to see
the prisoner Pond, Claire was inform
ed that the Jail contained no such man
as Pond, whereupon he said: "Wby,
yes, you have; havn't you a man here
arrested for stage robbingP" The Of
ficers produced Leroy, and he was iden-
titled as Billy Pond. His home is at
West Liberty, Iowa. where he and
Claire were chums. His father is a re-
spected and well-to-do stockman. Az
ter the robbery he visited his parents,
had a very gay time, and said he had
made his money in mining operations
in Colorado. The prisoner had been
raiding through Colorado for two years,
engaged in all sorts of deviltry, until
his career was cut short by the vigor-
Gus hand of General Cameron, the post
office inspector.-Denrcr Republican.

The company is composed of Messrs.

A correspondent at Fort Niobrara,
in a letter to the LEADER. says: The
cattle are suffering terribly. Fully 20
per cent in the vicinity of the post are
dead. 1 don't think there is 90 per cent
dead, taking in the whole country, but
should the weather continue bad
through March. 90 per cent more will
die. 1 don't consider this country
nearly 80 good a cattle country as wyo-

countries. There is not grass enough
in sight here now to season the cruel

HON. JOHN 1.
The Newly Elected senator From
Pcnnsylvanin.

Harrisburg, Feb. 23.-The 35th bal
lot for United States senator resulted
In the formal election Of John /. Mitch
ell.
The vote stood. Mitchell, 100; Wal
lace, s2; Macveagh, 1; Brewster, l.
The above is an associated press dis
patch that was received yesterday.
Mr.. Mitchell, the latest favorite son
Of the old Keystone State, has had a re-
markably successful political career.
He is only forty-three years of age, and
has been in public life for thirteen
years. Mr.. Mitchell was born in Tioga
county, Pennsylvania, where he now
resides lin the town OF Wellsboro). His
boyhood days were spent upon his
fathers farm, while his early education
wa received in the common school. He
spent some time in the University of
Lewisburg, Pa, but did not graduate.
Then he began teaching school, but at
the opening of the war he enlisted as a
private and came home as captain Of
his company.
In 1854 he was admitted to practice
law and in 1868 wasi elected district at
torney Of his native county, serving
three years in that position.
There were lively times In the year
1870 in Tioga county, and Mr.. Mitchell
took tho helm of the 1yoga County
Agitator, standing stalwart in behalf of
the masses as against crushing monop-
olies.
In reward for his valuable services
Mr.. Mitchell was sent to the state legis.
lature in ~ and was continued until
1876. Having made an excellent rec
ord he was again promoted by his con-
stituents and sent to the 45th congress
from the 10th district of Pennsylvania;
composed of the counties of Cameron.
Lycorhing, Mexican, Potter, Sullivan
and TSoga. He vas reelected to the
present congress, and is now sitting in
the house. He did not aspire to an
other reelection and fully expected to.
retire to the practice of his profession
after the 4th Of March. But the dead
lock in the Pennsylvania Legislature
ensued. A search was made for a man
Of ability who could unite the Cameron
and Grow factions, and Hon. John I.
Mitchell has been elected to the United
States senate in pursuance of that
idea.
Personally speaking, Mr.. Mitchell is a
strikingly handsome man of the blonde
type. He has most engaging manners
and possesses wonderful personal mag
netism, being much, in this respect, like
that other great Pennsylvania, Senator
Blaine. But Mr.. Mitchell has brains
as well as beauty. In the Pennsylvania
legislature he was conceded to be the
ablest man in the house. He demon.
strated the possession of statesmanlikt
qualities; was always foremost in ever,
measure tor the benefit Of the people
and was never identified with any CLIQUE
or faction. He was independent Their
as be Is now. He has always sought te
do his whole duty as a legislator, to the
people, rather than remain a tool Of any
faction.
Secretary Morgan, Of our territory,
was a member Of the Pennsylvania
Legislature with Mr.. Mitchell, end WA
