The speaker here referred to the
course pursued by the people in con-
testing the right of Murray to
appoint two offices in the Terri
tory. They charge that they are null
litiers because they do test his right.

In this country there can be no
union of church and state. Men
may hold church offices, but because
they do so, they do not hold civil
Offices They hold these civil offices
by virtue of the votes of the people.
(Hear, hearD There is no union of
church and state. The terrible crime
committed by the Mormon people IS
due to the fact that they have
electedItheir friends to offic S instead
of their opponents. l have for sew
eral years held civil offices in this
| territory and have been intimately
associated with the authorities OF
the Mormon church, and l Will de-
clare to you here that 1 have never
yet been approached, by a church
man, high or low, who has at
tempted to influence me be-
cause of his religious Of
fee. I have voted always as my
judgment dictated, and have yet to
be asked why 1 did so. (Applause).
| Utah has the most secret of secret
ballots, and for four years the PEP
pie have had a ballot which was
secret that no one but themselves
and their God need have known
how they voted. He also contra

case of polygamy which has been
tried in the courts has resulted in a
conviction, and this too with Nor
mons on the jurors. (Applause).
What more do they want? (AD-
1plause). He said that Congress had
taken in hand the settlement of
polygamy, and he was willing to
leave it to them to solve it. Polyg-
amy did not enter into this discus

deaVor to discourage immigration
and oppose the settlement of the
public domain by the people
was false. Who has attempted

voice-"no one.) The trouble has
been that the people did not leave
their land and let these men TAXI
lit when they wanted it. 1 have
heard of a man who attempted tt
squat on land but he was induced Il
take a walk. l deny that an
person is unjustly taxed. The take:
