Make II Hot for the Mormon Traitors
and Outlaws

Under the above heading the New York
Mail and Express uses the following
vigorous and trenchant language:
Lately many hypocritical pleas have been
put forward by the agents of the Mormon
lobby in Washington on the theory of alleged
'change of heart" on the part of the
Mormons in Utah, as TO the vital ideas and
convictions of these traitorous pests and
nuisances. If they do but succeed:by whole
sale lying and discreetly distributed corrup-
ton funds, in getting the Mormon hierarchy
aud polygamy entrenched within the secure
defences Of Statehood, they would achieve
all they want and renew their operations for
disseminating the virus Of their vile doctrines
through the surrounding mountain States
and Territories.
