A SALT LAKE dispatch Of the ID says that
| the Utah Commission had concluded the work
| necessary to secure a thorough revision of the
registration lists, and officers were being ap-
pointed in every county with deputies in each
precinct, amounting to $50 in al, with power
to purge the lists Of every voter disfranchised
by the Edmunds law. To this end it became
necessary to direct that every person, male or
female, who, since the passage OF the law of
1862, had at any time lived in viola ion OF said
law, be refused the right of franchise. 1t is
not expected that the result of the election
will change materially the existing condition
OF affairs in the Territory, the MonoSamic
Mormons being in the majority, but it is an
auspicious commencement. The powers of
the Commission being limited, they could not
overcome obs aclos which are fixed in the law.
good indication is the hopeful tone which
pervades the Liberal party. 1t is believed that
larger vote will be polled than at any previ-
GUS election.
