Report of the Utah Commis-
sioners.
WAsmSoToS, Oct. 30.--The Board Of
Utah Commissioners have submitted
their second annual report to the seere-
tary OF the Interior. They say the en-
forcement Of the present law against
10000 polygamists who have been ex-
cluded from the polls shows that the act
has been fully and successfully executed.
II is thought that the discrimination be.
tween those AIormons who practice
polygamy and those who do not, must
have great weight with the young men
Of the Territory. many OF whom are am
bilious and aspiring and would not like
voluntarily to embrace political ostra-
cisn. The very existence Of a law dis
franchising polygamists must tend to
destroy their influence whenever 1t is
understood that It is to be permanent
discrimination.
