THE REVELATION REVEALED.
John II. Cnine Is RenOminated for
Congress by the "PeoPle's"
Convention.

never so clearly shown as in the sumbers
of King Taylor between yesterday and
to-day. When his royal nobs retired it
was late at night, and it was only with
the greatest reluctance that he finally
consented to lie down to rest.
He had spent the evening YEARLY wait
ing for the appearance of Lord Cannon,
and as hour after hour passed and no
George came, he fell to rejecting upon
the Inconsistencies of some people. How
to receive revelation without knowing
what was to be revealed to him was
something that never before in the his
tory of his reign had he been asked to do.
The clock struck II, and still no word
from George. Could it be that some willy
deputy marshal had waylaid him and
dragged him into the august presence OF
Commissioner Mckay, or was it pos
sble that he had attempted to come
by rail and had fallen forcibly
onto the cold, hard track Noy. this
seemed hardly likely, but there was still
pro liability that he had been placed
unde' an excessive S45, 900 bond, which
modrsty prevented his jumping, or that
he was busily engaged in "counseling"
his hayward son. One o'clock came,
then 2, and still no George. Johns presi-
dental head shook u little don't-under-
stand shake, and he once more fell into
reverie. Could it be that this apostolic
skipper had taken it into his head to re-
ceive his own revelations and to be the
nominal as well as the real leader Of "this
people,"
No, no; he would never dare do that
so long as there is one hair left on the
thinkers shining apex. 1t was too much.
The old man could think no longer, and
cursing the Apostle from the bottom OF
his foot, he gathered up what there is
left of himself and HE'D him to his cham
Der.
He slept one of those sleepless sleeps
known only to an Emperor, and in it he
had strange dream, which but for its
eliminating in the wrong way, would
have been counted as nothing more nor
less than the fiftieth delegational reve-
lation. The first image that APP
peared to him was that of Elder
Richards who addressed him in those
dulcet tones, the terror of which is only
known to those who have sat on cohab
jury. With outstretched hands, the
vision told his excellency how he
had given up the prosecuting attorney
ship for the centre stake of Zion, only
that he might serve "this people"
and the Lord, too, in the American Con-
gress. He told how the apostolic blood
(inherited) coursing through his veins
burned at the thought OF melting the
nations representatives to tears with his
pleading tones. But just then a
on NJ; l1o,
| fly lit upon the Presidents head and
was taken as an answer by the visionary
elder, and the wasted form withdrew
into the darkness of life stung in its
youth by crushed Congressional bee.
AS the form reached the door it was
met by another approaching with map
OF Utah in his hand. There was a hur-
ried consultation, and in an instant both
forms departed.
Before the echo of their footsteps had
been swept from the hall by the early
rising janitor, the heavier ones of Judge
Dusenberry were heard by the sleeper,
growing louder and louder until the
rotund form of the Utah county Justice
was dropping over the royal dreamer's
couch. The Judge began to WOO the
Presidential form, and it was not long
before the seer and irrigator OF the G. Of
j. G. of L. d. S. had promised the Judge
the seat in Congress. The visionary
Provoite departed in peace.
Just then the President awoke, and
smiling at the largeness OF his thought
he was about to open his mouth when
the shadow of club fell upon his lips
and held them closed. At the other END
OF the club stood George G., who, in
tones firm but respectful queried with
an imperative accent: "You have re-
Ceived revelation to return John T
! Game to Congress >" The club was laid
aside while the President had time t.
mutter II have received revelation tC

"What no, without there" sounded
| the Apostles voice, and ere the courier
had arrived letter had been addressed
to w, w. Ritter, signed and sealed.
ENvoI.
| The Territorial Convention of the "Peo
ple's" party met at the City Hall this
afternoon at the appointed hour and after
the calling OF the roll and the reading Of
the minutes the business was taken up.
| The Committee on Resolutions asked
for further time, and an adjournment was
taken until 80.
At that hour the convention again as,
sembled, and it was found that, notwith.
standing the modest absence OF Messrs
Richards, West and Dusenberry, there
was quorum present.
The report OF the Committee on Reso-
lutions was read and accepted. This doc.
ument is the usual bi-annual puff for the
Constitution, blast for Congress and self.
eulcgy for Utah. There is nothing new
in it except new demand for the admis-
sion OF Utah as State, and even new de-
mands of this kind are getting old.
! The chairman then announced that the
proposal OF "names" Observe the plural)
for the nomination as Delegate to Con.
gress was in order,
! Mr.. Ritter caught his cue, and jumping
up, delivered himself as follows 81
take pleasure in presenting before the
convention the name Of Utah's most
tried and patriotic citizen, John T. Caine
who Il think etc, etc"
The motion was put and carried unani-
mouely, and it was thus that the Presi
dents revelation was revealed, received
and adopted,
