The Utah Question.

Chairman of the Utah Commission, has just
returned from Salt Lake City. He says:
The only thing we had to do was to separate
the polygGmists from the lawful voters, and
that we accomplished ct very early day.
After the arrival of the Commission, leading
polygaInists came TO us and said that they
decided TO assure Us that they would make no
attempt TO register nor to vote, and they
would do all in their power TO assist US in q
general way. I think they kept their word.
In fact, the Mormons conducted themselves
fairly SO far as we could Learn. Wenow have
TO appoint three Judges in each election pre-
ciRct. There has been good deal OF nom
sense in the papers about the Commission
tavoring the Mormons, while the fact is that
there are whole counties where none but
Mormons reside; and as the law is intended
TO make poiygamy odious, ard does not dis
franchise non-polygamy Mormon, we could
not do otherwise than do Just what does
recognize that class. So far as the elections
are concerned, they will of course be carried
by the Mornons, who will elect the delegate
TO Congress; and the polygamists knowing
their man and their ticket will be chosen, can
veil afford to acquiesce in their own partial
disfrsnchisement. [ heard it said that the
present Mayor of Salt Lake City, Mr.. Kane,
stood good show for the Mormon nomina-
ton snd election"
What will be the general effect of the law
as it pertains to the election?"
. 1t will take pretty nearly all the first
class and weaithiest men of the Mormon
Church out Of politics, and make polygamy
odioua, especially TO the ri:ing generation,
who wall dislike TO be disfranchised on srriv-
lug at their majority. The fellows now
thrown out will be looked upon BY many as
martyrs, and, liz fact so consider themselves
already. DISTINGUISHING the polygamists will
certainly deter ambitious young men from
To-
lygamist element is located very largely in
rrral districts among the lees intelligent
cassss."
