| New York. January 12th.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin, in quoting Commissioner Swifts
statement about Chinese naturalization being
null and void, says: If Swift is correctly re-
ported here, we are inclined to think no such
| treaty as he and his confreres have brought
home with them will ever receive the sanction
of the United States Senate. There are many
| Chinese merchants who are among the largest |
| taxpayers on the Pacific coast, and in New
York the Courts, as is well known, have had |
10 scruples about granting naturalization pa
pers to persons of this nationality. The ex-
clusion is totally at variaace with TIE spirit |
of our free institutions.
Governor MErFay's Reasons for Refusing |
Cannon Certificate.
CHICAGO, January 12th.-Govelnor Muir. /
ray, of Utah, passed through this city last |
night on his way to his former home in Louis |
Vile In regard to affairs in the Territory |
the Governor said 81 indorse everything |
Campbell stated with reference to the state |
of affairs in Utah. They are even much |
worse than he represented The Mormon |
people have no respect for the Government |
or citizens Of the United States, and they /
chuckle over the successful manner in which |
they have eyaded the rule of the National |
Government ever since Utah became Terri
tory. With every success of the Mormons |
to defeat the purpose of the law, they have !
become more defiant constantly, until they hold |
the laws and entire Government of the United |
States in utter contempt" In regard to his |
issuing a certificate to Campbell, Murray |
said he was actuated by the following rea-
sons First-George Q. Cannon is not |
citizen of the United States. OF this l am |
as certain as l can be of anything. The |
clerk of the Court where he claims to have |
been naturalized makes oath that he has |
examined the records of the Court from
it's organization, and that there is no such |
record in the case of George @. Cannon.
Second, the law in force at the time he claims !
to have been naturalized distinctly declares
that the record is the only evidence of natur-
alization. Cannon has a certificate of a |
clerk, not under any seal, and founded upon |
no Judgment of any Court of competent |
record or any Court whatever, on which he |
bases his claim of citizenship. Now. [ know, |
and every intelligent citizen of Utah knows, |
that it is q notorious fact that at one time |
these certificates were peddled out in . tab at |
So apiece to whoever wanted to purchase.
No, sir he is not citizen, and he could not |
prove himself one when given opportunity, |
consequently any votes legally cast for him |
for delegate in Congress signifed nothing. | |
could not issue certificate to a man, know |
ing him to be an alien. Third, being a
polygamist, ne is guilty of felony. Cannon
cannot acquire citizenship. These were suffi
cient grounds were there no others, for my
declining to issue him certificate of election |
as Delegate in Congress of the United |
States" Murray further said these facts |
have been known for years.
Cannon Calls Upon liie President.
CHICAGO, January 12th.-The Journals !
| Washington special says Delegate Cannon
| saws, in regard to Murray's action in with |
| holding from him his certificate, that he has
no apprehension of the issue in the House
| In view Of the statement contained in press
dispatches from Salt Lake that somebody
| higher in authority was behind Murray in
this matter, Cannon says he felt it his duty
! to 20 and see the President. The latter said
| he knew nothing about MurraY's action. and
that all he had said about The Mormon queS-
| ton was in a public way. Without con-
demning the Governors action, the President
| said that Murray had undoubtedly exceeded
| his authority. Cannon is confident that the
! House will not sustain Murray in his course.
