A COMPLETE VICTORY.
Tho Libcral Ticket Defeats the Mormon a
Salt Lake city.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 1.-THE
municipal election In this city passed
of quietly yesterday, contrary to gem
eral expectations, as the city had been
crowded for days with special police,
| detectives and United States marshals
for the purpose Of preventing Illegal
voting, 10 which each party claims the
other would resort TO for the purpose Of
carrying the day, and IL was anticipated
that an attempt 10 challenge and arrest
some Of the voters would result IN riot
and bloodshed. This however was not
realized, though the excitement was In
tense.
Half OF the business houses were
closed, bands paraded the streets and
the thoroughfares were crowded with
excited citizens who realized that upon
the result Of Yesterdays battle depend
ed the future Of the Mormon Church as
political organization.
Only six arrests we're made for at
tempting to vote illegally and these
were without any demonstration from
either side.
Snow began falling early and continued
until noon, when the sun came out,
melting the snow and turning the streets
into rivers Of slush. This did not deter
the voters many ofwhom waded through
the mud to the polling places, while
hundreds OF carriages ran between the
precinct headquarters and every part Of
the city conveying voters to and from
them.
The Mormons claim that fraud has
been the order OF tho day with the Cen
tiles, and II they are victorious it will
have been by these methods, and in this
event they will contest the election to
the Supreme Court OF the United States.
The polls closed at six o'clock and the
Liberal leaders posted a bulletin In the
windows OF the headquarters claiming
majority OF 1900. The news soon
spread over the city and the Gentiles
took possession. Flags we're run up and
every Gentle building in the city was
decorated. Fireworks were sent up
from hundreds of housetops, cannons
doomed and bonfres were seen upon
every corner and hundreds OF men in
line paraded the streets with drums and
torches, shouting like wild men over
their victory.
The Mormons remain indoors and have
nothing 10 say on the result except that
the election was carried by fraud and
that they will surely contest II. They
admit their defeat, but claim the major.
ity viii not exceed 400.
Tho official returns from every pre-
cinct in tbo city but one give George NJ
Scott, Gentle, for mayor, l,240 votes;
Spencer Clawson, Mormon, 532. Re-
turns from the remaining precinct will
probably swell Seott's majority to $50.
