Her Resignation.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
A young woman applied for registration IN
this city, and claiming to have the right to
vote by reason of her fathers naturalization,
her name was put.on the list. But to make
sure, her fathers papers were examined, when
it turned out that they we're taken out after
the young woman was FL years of age. Sor-
rowfully the registrar (he is a courtly man,
and gallant told her that those papers would
do her no good, and her name would have to
be stricken off the lists. ''But what shall do,
for am determined to register" said the fair
one. The registrar, sympathetic and ready of
COUNSEL said: "Nou must do one OF two
things; either get naturalized, or marry some
American citizen" He was himself out of
the matrimonial market, and didn't believe in
polygamy. She vowed she would be back
and register that same day. Sure enough, at
ter being away some hours she returned. II
am all night now, Mr.. Registrar, and want
you to put my name down. "What have you
done; got married." "Not as bad as that; I
have been naturaized since saw you last, v
and she proudly exhibited her citizenship pa
pers to the astonished registrar. the first he
had ever seem for woman. 1t was fact !;
she was full-hedged citizen, and the tithing
fund was short SIS.

GOV. DAVIS AND HIS TRADUCERS.

No more forcible reason for the election OF
Governor Davis to congress has been given
than the combined assault made upon him in
the canvass Of the state.
Judge Ireland attacks Governor Davis in
stead of Wash jones' Terrell attacks Gov
ernor Davis instead of Benjamin Trigg, his
opponent, and every democratic candidate for
Office, from Ireland down to the constable,
attacks Governor Davis, to make it appear to
the people that they are suitable persons for
the people to elect to Office.
If Governor Davis was an insignificant
parsonage; if his character was bad; if his
ability was poor; if his prospective influence
in the councils of the nation amounted to
nothing, why Ireland would say his little piece
about somebody else, and the candidates for
sheriff and Justice of the peace would be COM
peeled to find some one else to pour out the
walls of their indignation upon.
Gov. Davis viii make strong influential
member of congress-the tenth district will
have an able man in Washington, who will no
have to be seasoded in order to be useful
Gov. Davis traducers have furnished the peo
pie of the 10th district with abundant reason
for voting TOR Davis, and they are goin.
to do it.

Apropos of the color of Mary Stuart's eyes,
a correspondent of the London World writes {:
81 have miniature of her in a gold setting
(French) of her period, which represents her
with blue eyes and red hair. believe it is
known that she wore wigs Of different colors,
for most of her portraits give her dark brown
hair. We may, perhaps, conclude from this
that her hair really was red, and of course,
her eyes blue, as few persons would choose
red hair, but might prefer TO appear with it
dark"

WHO is .MONOLITH ?"

Recently there appeared scurrilous attack
upon Gov. Davis in the San Antonio Express,
signed "Monolith," charging Gov. Davis with
being directly concerned in the killing of APP
plewhite. We were innocent enough to be-
lieve that the article which appeared in the To-
cal and editorial columns of the Express had
emenated from some friend or relative of the
unfortunate Applewhite, and while we knew
the statements and deductions to be Infamous
ly false, we felt some charity for the writer,
who we believed to be blinded by passion
and impelled by prejudice or desire OF re-
venge. This theory, however, has been dis
PEELED by fact that has leaked out in con-
nection with the "Monolith" attack.
The article was evidently produced by the
Hancock committee, at Austin, and sent to
their organ, the Express, in THE city. for pub
LEGATION. In this way covering up the track OF
the libel by at least eighty miles of distance
between its origin and its birth.
Why do we say this Because it seems to
have only been of interest to the Hancock
committee at Austin, as the Express contain
ing this article was sent in large package to
the national bank at that place and was dis
tributed through the district from Austin, as
a Hancock campaign document.
This proves the desperate and uncertain char
acter Of the Hancock campaign. While we
do not believe Maj Tom. Breckenridge capa-
BILE of producing or originating such cam
paign document, yet the desperate condition
of the Hancock cause justihes the use of any
means within their reach to break down Da-
Wis; because Hancock will not care to be
beaten through the management of his "dark
horse" friends, and a dark horse will have to
be trotted out after all.
This kind of campaign fodder is entirely
harmless where the people know the facts or
suspect the authors.
Terrell, no doubt, wrote "Monolith' rs
supplement to his speech, and Major Tom.
Breckenridge was told that it was crusher on
Davis, and never read it, but Immediately
sent over and had an extra number of the Ex-
press containing it sent to him for distribu-
ton. Now he will read it and see what
poor thing it is, with which to break down an
honest canvass before an intelligent and dis
eliminating people.
The Express is playing the role Of being
mad because Epson was defeated, and max
ing itself useful in the dark horse business.
The trick is exposed.
"BUT it is true that for some reason Major
Minter is cutting very small figure in the
canvass for county clerk. rs. A. Times.
1t is nothing to the majors discredit If he
cuts "small figure in the disgraceful
scramble to control the democratic primaries
to secure a nomination. The amount of brib
cry, corruption and manipulation necessary to
secure democratic county nomination would
leave any gentleman shorn of his self-respect
and thoroughly demoralized. 1t takes
cheeky candidate to look the honest voter in
the eye and ask his support on account Of
having received the nomination at the hands
of manipulated Bexar county democratic
convention.

The bill recently reported by the
Legislative comHliiiee on the qucs-
tion of re-apportioniug the Stale is
one that does not look to the interests
Of the people Of the State, without re-
gard To party. We do not endorse
the trickery entered Into by this com.
mittee, most of whom are Democrats.
We consider the spirit and princi-
pie That prompted it deserving of the
severest censure. The bill has
changed districts wherever it could
be done to the advantage of the Dem
ocratc party. 1t has not only done
this, but IL has treated certain coun.
ties with such manifest unfairness
that the people, regardless Of party,
should speak their Interpretation.

and upon which The apportionment
is based, the following is the voting
strength Of certain countless:
Christian 6,5I3, Warren G,IG9
Daviess 5.9jS, Mnson 5,073 Now
This bill gives the counties OF Warren,
Dayicss and Mason two representa-
lives each, while Christian has but
one, although she has 3I4 more voters
than Warren, 5S5 moro than Daviess,
md lab more than Mason. This
fact alone, ignoring all OF It's other
unfair features, is enough to condemn
the bill. 1t can be explained only
upon the ground that Warren, Dav-
less and Mason are Democratic, while
Christian is Republican. Christian
Is Justly entitled TO two representa-
tiyes. II Is nobody's business if she
docs send Republican representa-.
iiyes; she always sends good ones.

struggling hard to redeem the county
and We belieye they will succeed in
lie near future. The party in this
county is becoming better organized
each year, but even If We cannot eject
onr candidates we do not endorse
such bill as the one which has beer
reported, The bill will be acted
upon next Tuesday and we hope tina
IL may be defeated, unless it b,
