KEEPING THEIR COURAGE UP.
Polygamy Openly Advocated at the Nor
mon Conference at Salt Lake City.

CHICAGO, Oct 5.-A dispatch from Salt Lake
City, Utah, says: The sixtieth general semi
annual conference OF the Mormon church be-
gan yesterday. Wilfred Woodruff. the
president Of the church, presided,
and George Q. Cannon of the first
presidency was present There we're also pres
ent five Of the twelve apostles of the church
and great number OF other high church off,
cias. President Woodruff in his opening ad-
dress said the Mormon church had been esiab-
lished by God, and that no power
on earth could stay its progress.
All the revelations given to the
saints, including that of polygamy. came direct
from God, and notwithstanding the trials and
troubles through which the Mormons had
passed, the Lord would sustain all those who
obeyed his principles and his revelations.
Apostle John W. Taylor commended the people
to give unquestioning obedience to the priest
hood.
Elder Jacob Gates, Elder Henry, Apostle
Grant and Elder Abram spoke in a similar vein.
The church authorities are embracing every
opportunity to keep the people in hne politi-
cally. for they fear that with the loss of polti-
cal power ecclesiastical supremacy would be
greatly weakened.
