A LOVE FEAST.
Big Guns Fired IN the Ninth
Ward.

A Liberal rally was held in the
Ninth Ward Sehoolhouse or. Friday
evening last. Judge Foreman
called the meeting to order, and
then said he held Mormon book
that an old apostate tenaciously be-
lieyed in. an edition of the book of
Doctrine and Covenants, published
in the year 1854, and he was re
queSted 20 read a few extracts from
it, not that he (Boreman) believed
anything it contained, but as the
apostate said the later editions had
been tempered with. He would read
a few extracts, which he did, in re-
lation ''to one man for one woman
and Uice 0erS0.
Capt. ropler was called fer. He
said he was not a public speaker
but was some on the "lubber lift"
he was better calculated for that
than anything else, and would re-
sumo his seat. Immense pounding
on desks and fioor.)
Mr.. Mckay acclaimed that he
was not a public speaker, he only
came to fill the house; so much did
he fill seat that that the maker of
the seats ought to be made pre-
sent of diploma for their forbear-
ance and durability.
The chair next annOuced that the
candidate for delegate would next
address them, and it was desired
that the opposition candidate, or as
many as he would select would
meet the Liberal candidate in open
discussion. Judge Van Zile said it
made him nervous to occupy an ex-
allied position, and would stand
among the people; "aS it was not a
political nor religious meeting, but
a little tea party, he would haran-
que them for a little while. He
told about owning a little property
in Michigan, and that he paid taxes
On it, and he had also been taxed
for property he did not own, but
paiGlChe taxes to show his loyalty. He
then deplored the fact that there was
only one free school in the Territory
and that was to grind out those Of a
particular faith. All the district
schools were calculated to keep indi-
gent children from attending; the
school taxes in this Territory were
sufficient to make free schools Of
all, if properly used. That was the
way it, was in Michigan; yet he
acknowledged that taxes were col
lected for deficiencies to make
the schools free. After re-
Iating similitude between an in
vlted guest ruling household, and
5he Mormon trying to rale Uncle
Sam, he said that unless he was
sent to congress nine commissioners
would surely be sent to govern
Utah. Were we any better than
Michigan? Michigan had been
governed by nine men sent to gov
but had been admitted
IS a state and it was a populous and
veil. governed state, for
Twas there he laid aside the blue,
And shook the gray-backs off him too.
The entrance of two heavy guns
vas the occasion of another |
lproarous pounding upon theI
loor. Van Zile gave way for
Governor Murray. He talked |
bout home, and the chastity
# home, and avowed before God he |

states would not stand polygamy, |

hat he would help protect their
iresides.

ice.of the priesthood, and they igno-
kicked him out. (Tremen-I
lious applause, kicking, pounding,
