why the President Demanded Governor
I Murray's Resignation.
WASHINGTON, March lSth-Tbed demand
| for the resignation of Eli A. Murray. Gov
ernor OF Utah, was made by the President
Tor reasons which will be explained. 1t is
ciaimed that when the stories were tele-
graphed from Salt Lake City in December
! last about the threatened uprising of Nor
mons. the President ordered company of
troops from Omaha to that point. though n
large force was stationed at Camp Douglas
IN sight OF the city that these stories were
subsequently asccrtaiDed to be without
foundation, and had been concocted for the
purpose OF having an effect ON Congress- :.
that the President, finding himself deceived
In this instance, has followed the proceed
ings Of the Territorial Legislature, and read
the Dlils passed by il and vetoed bv Mur-
ray; ana then when he learned on Thursday
last that Murray had refused 10 approve the
appropriation bill, he at once laid the mat
ter before the Cabinet, and decided to inves-
tigate the whole business thoroughly. The
Information received was sufficient to satisfy
the President that Muray's action was an
unIustlhable exercise of the veto power.
and he demanded the Governors resigna-
| ton. 1t is also stated that immediately
upon the adjournment of the LEGISLATURE
Murray issued a proclamation declaring
! certain persons whom he had nominated
| for Territorial offices, and who have not
| been confirmed by the upper House of the
Legislature, to be legally appointed, and
announcing his purpose TO install them
IL is further claimed that the Governor
could assign no other reason for refusing
his assent TO the appropriation bill than
the failure of the Legislative Council to
confirm his nominations. Murray has re-
/ piled that his resignation would be con-
veyed TO the President by r. n. Baskin.
who will cometo Washington TO urge upon
Congress the absolute necessity of disfran-
chising all the 4Iormons, and turning over
the government Of Utah TO the anti-Mor-
mons. a determined effort will be made
for him to reconsider his demand for Muir
ray resignation.
