After he had convulsed himself on this
subject, unfortunately for him, he
could not let the opportunity pass
without putting series of questions to
the Delegate, as to
THE MARITAL STATUS OF DR.. oRMsBY,
A. N. Cannon and Matte Hughes.
It would be doubtless interesting to

coincidence The last time the Cover

was boisterously demonstratIve over

relations to each other, and singular
to say. he had no sooner alluded to this
same DR.. Matte at this hearing when
he again became unmanagable, and
AGAIN had to be called to order. Fear

the first call to order was made by
Chairman Springer. while the second

was acting as chairman collusion is
therefore out of the question.
Delegate Game, in taking up the CUES
ton of "rule OF the priesth6 o." ex-
style how the game of "bull- dozIng" is
carried on by the anti Mormon ring.
Among other things he referred to the
organization known as the Loyal
League. how and for what purpose it
was carried on, etc. The speaker then
produced a few clippings from the
Tribune, only one of which he had time
to read, showing the bull-dozing, boy
cotting character of this paper. This
clipping was reprint from the Boston
Journal, in which that paper undertook
to give Utah's political situation, and
declared her admission impossible. The
editor of the Tribune commenting On it
says: at should be the duty of the
GENTILEs or UTAH
to preserve the name of every advocate
for admission in Congress, that for all
time to come they may be branded as
unclean, whenever they aspire 10 any
position of honor or emolun ent." Mr..
Caine remarked: Gentlemen, I warn
you il you favor Utah's admission, you
will be branded as unclean." Another
nice, clean-out point On 'bull- DOING"
the speaker here made. He referred to
the attempt recently put forth by
Mormons and conservative non-Mor-
mons to unite on q municipal ticket,
and told of the fear of the Tribune's
lash that existed in the minds of many
who favored the move, but who dared
not advocate it openly; and of the
by the "agitators," adventures" and
"political gang" against it.

whether revelation" or the vivacious
young doctor herself could have
animated our Governor. He was as
calm as a summers morning, and as
soggy as "twicer"-a term by which
the twice boiled potatoes were known
to the inmates of the Fen during
Ireland's reign. The hour to adjourn
having arrived. an adjournment was
taken until to-day, the committee
arose, the usual compliments were
passed, the lions separated.
Ten O'Clock this morning presented
rows of empty chairs.
Aftera considerable wait the chairman
suggested that the festivities 20 on.
Mr.. Game, who was to finish, now in

about Governor West, and he would
prefer to say it in the hearing of his
governorship.
