THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

We surrender large portion of our
editorial space this week to the
convention report as matter of news.
There was fighting, bitter speeches,
bloody shirt waving and lying enough
done at the convention to disgrace
decenter set of men than were there.
Little fool Foraker aired himself and
abused the South; Spit-fre Ingalls,
lied hastily to his hearts content and
bald headed infdel Ingersoll was the
lion of the day. A negro, who was
kept in Office by Cleveland, abused his
benefactor and was made chairman of
the convention pro tenn by his admir-
ing fellow republicans; candidates
were recommended to the convention
because they had enough money to
drown the vote of the laboring man and
buy up several states, ard Wise and
Malone had a fight that would better
have become negro railroad hands
than the gentlemen they claim to be.
Out of all this mixture of mendaci-
ty, infdelity and money power came
the platform which pretends to be
honest but isn't and the CO. 'idates who
would like to be great bu can't.
The platform is for protection >
that kind OF protection that is making
money scarce, laborers poor and mo-
nopolists rich that legalized robbery
of the masses which steals thousands
OF dollars annually from the working
man to pour them into the pockets of
just such men as the convention want
ed to nominate and did, men who are
able to buy up state or two and un-
scrupulous enough to do it without
blushing for their guilt.
The leader, Harrison, is a man OF
some braiu, but relies mostly for his
strength upon name; man whose
only attitude toward the working man
has been one of antagonism, whose on
ly record while in Congress was that
he voted to admit pauper Chinese la
Dor to the United States, and bring it
in comps tition with free, white labor
that requires more than rat or two
to keep it living and working.
Levi P. Mrton Is man more noted
tor his money than his brains. He
gives big dinners to bloated bond-hol-
ders in New York and i, ever ready
to open his barrel to help buy enough
votes to keep the monopolists in power.
These are the men whom the party,
with lack of enthusiasm rarel y
known in SO large convention, has
has named as the victims of Cleveland
and Thurman in November. We
shall have more to say of the men and
the platform hereafter, when our space
is not so limited.

| SATURDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
Little work was done in the conven-
ton Saturday, only two ballots being
taken which were little changed from
those of Friday.
There was hardly a cheer during
the reading of the result of fourth
ballot John Sherman's fate was seen
to have been settled when his vote was
announced as 236, eight less than on
the third ballot.
There was none of the break for

The fifth ballot was proceeded with
monotomously and there was hardly
an incident worth recording. Harri

Gresham eleven, while Alger gained
seven votes and Blaine six, and Nc

fourteen votes in his favor. 1t was

a coRREsPoNDENT Of the Statesman
writing from Salubria, Washington
county, gives full particulars of the
saw mill explosion near that place on
the 18th. Frank Kiethley had his
thigh bone broken and was otherwise
bruised and burned. His leg was
amputated on the 14th, and he died
that night at l o'clock. Dick Burke
was terribly scalded and otherwise
hurt. The supposed cause of the ex-
plosion was too small amount of wa
ter in the boiler.
A piece of boiler six or seven feet
loEg was blown about seventy-ive
yards. In its course it struck three
different logs, cutting them in two,
when, rising little, it passed over
the head of little girl, and finally
coming IN contact with some pine
timber, it stopped. Portions of the
boiler from the front end shot out
through a camp, scattering meat,
bread, dishes, spoons and coffee pots
to the four winds. Other portions OF
the boiler were thrown some three
hundred yards, setting the woods on
fire.

lHE Mormons are in a sorry plight.
lhey want to register, and yet they
don't want to. They would like to
commit perjury, but they are afraid
OF the consequences. A few have
had the courage to gulp down the
test oath with the mental ejaculation,
LET the consequences be what they
may" The District Attorneys of
the southeastern counties do not
agree in their instructions to regis
trars. District Attorney Secor, of
Cassia county, says the registrars
cannot go behind the oath of the
person asking to register. In other
words, that the registrars duties end
with the administration of the oath.
District Attorney Standrod, of Bing-
ham county, has framed question to
be propounded by registrars, in ad-
dition to the oath: 1t is simply, "Are
you Mormon?" AS no Mormon is
legal voter, and cannot be so long
as the church teaches or practices po-
lygamy, this question comes right to
the core to make the spirit and intent
of the law effective. No Mormon
will answer this question in the neg
ative, but a good many would have
the temerity to subscribe to the test
oath, believing that they could evade
punishment for perjury by setting
up the false claim that the church no
longer teaches polygamy. A Nor
mon Bishop of Idaho has publicly
proclaimed that the doctrine of po-
lygamy has been whacked from the
Mormon creed, but the head OF the
church at Salt Lake has not made
any such announcement, so it is plain
that the Idaho Bishop has set up
sly, cunning pretense to defeat the
test oath law, and shield from Just
punishment the members of his flock
who may subscribe to the oath.
