POLYGAMY DOOMED.
One Mormon Bishop Deserts Utah with
His Legal Wife. Leaving Three Families
Behind.

One Mormon Bishop Deserts Utah with
His Legal Wife. Leaving Three Families
Behind.
OGDEN, UTAH, Dec. 19.-The Utah problem
appears to be slowly approaching solution,
and the indications point toward the grad
ualcollapse of the institution Of polygamy.
Last spring Lester Herrick, a wealthy
bishop in the church, owning a large
amount Of real estate, and residing
in this city, suddenly went West
on trip to the coast Spring and
summer passed, but Bishop Helrick still
tarried, and as he had four wives it began
to be suspected that, not having the fear
OF the Lord" before him, and greatly dread
ing the U. = Marshal, re had taken to the
underground" Recently the Bishop re-
turned to Ogden and at once made prepa-
ratiOns for the removal Of his legal wife
and his household goods to California. A
very short sojourn in Ogden sufficed to
complete his arrangements, and he has
now departed for his new homo, leaving
behind HIM three separate families. for
whom, however, he has literally provided.
Those Of the church profess to believe that
Herrick will return to his old home when
things are more settled, but the facts have
become known that he has left his property
that sale of one city lot has recently
been effected, and that the gentleman has
become the owner OF an estate in Southern
California. There is no doubt that Bishop
Herrick has permanently left Utah and
the Church, and that il any deception has
been practiced the Church is the subject Of
1t. Bishop Herrick was we'll liked by his
Gentle fellow-citizens and possessed their
confidence; he is man OF more
than average ability, shrewd
and honorable in his dealings
1t was daughter of Bishop Herrick whom
members Of his own church endeavored to
compromise with Judge Powers, in order
that the Judges character might be black
ened: but the plan reacted upon the head
of one of their witnesses, who was con-
victed OF perjury and is now serving out
five-years' sentence. The lady has since
been happily married to Gentle. Another
Bishop in Salt Lake City, John Sharp, who
is also superintendent Of the Utah Central
railway, declined about year ago to
'live" his religion, on the occasion
Of his having to plead to an in
tation. Guilty" said Mr. Sharp,
s'and promise to obey the law in future
and to urge others to do likewise" where
upon sentence was suspended, and so was
Bishop Sharp from his bishopric in the
Mormon Church. A few more such ex-
ambles as these and the crumbing editice
will totter to its fall. The hiding away of
John Taylor to escape trial under lndict-
ment, and the bail-jumping of George q.
Cannon, first and second Presidents Of the
Church. respectively, are causing much
unfavorable comment among the more in
telligent Mormons.

TIE ELECTION

The election on yesterday passed
off quietly. No disturbance occurred
in this county. of which we have any
knowledge. The weather was good,
but light vote was pollel. The
probable result was very much of a
surprise to many who had taken
an interest in it. This was owing
to the fact that many of the candi-
dates have been in the field for only
a few days, and the voters were un-
settled. The greatest surprise was
in the race for Circuit Judge. The
friends of Judge FlipPing believed
that he would get a handsome major
lty, but the returns indicate that
SimOntOh viii carry the county by
majority ranging from 100 to 200
Hawkins, for Chancellor, and Cock
rOft, tor Attorney General, received
the full democratic vote, and their
majority will range from 700 to 1000.
Yopp defeats Franklin for Sheriff by
about $50 majority. Farley defeats
Crawford for County Court Clerk
by about 800majOrity. Savage d..
feats Pirtle for Trustee by about $500
majority. Day is elected Register
bva plurality of about 500 votes.
Newsom is elected Circuit Court
Clerk over Adams, by IS majority.
The State Democratic ticket is
elected by from $4,000 to 10000
majority. Shelby county elects the
Democratic ticket by about 5000,
and Davidson goes the same way by
about 1000 majority. The Demo
clacy is jubilant all over the state.
The vote in this, the 9th district
is as follows;-Democratlc Supreme
