HORIZONS IN POLITICS.

hOho Ol AllHoAd dllu liSlI DtuOCIAllC apologists claim that they take no part in politics as an organized body, but only as individuals. The falsity of this claim was shown in the recent election in several counties in the Territory, notably in Maricopa, Graham and Apache. As further evidence in this direction TIE REPUBLICAN presents the reports of meetings held in the various Mormon churches in Salt Lake City on Sunday, November 2, the last Sunday proceeding the election. The extracts are taken from Salt Lake papers of Mon day, November 8. The first is from the account of Mormon Elders lecture at the Salt Lake theatre. Read it;
 The Salt Lake Theatre was filled with
 Mormons last night who had assembled to hear Elder Charles Ellis deliver his lecture on Utah Liberalism. The Elders address was more of an excoriation of the Tribune and defense of Utah polyg- amy than dissertation on Liberalism. He proceeded to do up all the Christian ministers of the city because they sup ported the Tribune. Then he raised his voice in favor of the polygamous wife, and put himself on record by saying that he admired man who would sup port a woman who had slept with him even though she wasn't his wife He believed the children of polygamists were all right. They were produced not through any sensual process, but by a sort of machine work. Production of children according to the Mormon plan was duty, and they came not as a re- sult of a sensual qualification, but rather as the result of a performance of sacred obligation imposed by God. Were he called upon to produce an excuse for the practice of polygamy in Utah, he would array the polygamous children of the Territory in an army and say like Spartacus ol old, "This is the Thracians' answer"
 All the registrars came in for a roast
 ing at this point, and then Judge Powers was alluded to. The U tah Commission next received attention, Chairman God frey in particular, who was held up as a sort oi a liar on general principles. The entire Liberal party was then set down as lot of thugs, thieves, biackmailers, gamblers, apostates and such like, with a few exceptions. This changed in a moment to the statement that the Saints were pure and undehled, etc. All of the lecture was vigorously applauded.
 AT THE THIRD WARD MEETING HOUSE.
 The comfortable, but ill-ventilated, meeting house of the Third Ward was filled with about one hundred people last evening. Elder Stringfellow at the conclusion of a half hours address spoke as follows: ''l want to admonish this people in regard to the election on Tuesday. 1 hope there is not voter in this ward but will be out at the polls on that day; not an individual who has any interest in the welfare of this beau- tiful Territory, for the welfare of the people who inhabit this Territory, but will be on hand and assist his friends and others to be on hand. 1 pray that God may help us to perform our duties in this matter"
 Bishop Wilder then ascended the ros- trum and said: "I want to back up what has just been said. This is a thing of another nature, of temporal nature, to elect our Delegate. trust there is not a soul in the Third Ward but really feels an interest in our cleo tion, but will spare the time to go to the polls. We don't want anyone who | has no vote to go. But it is the bounden duty of every legal voter to go and cast his vote for or against. Now, brethern, we want you to attend to this matter. | We want you to take the time and inter- | est to look after our brethern. Look | after those who are old or who cannot | walk to the election. As far as 1 am concerned, l will take my buggy, as l | always do, and do what l can. Others | with like conveyances will please do the | same thing. Don't go off to work with | out voting, so when we go for you we | cannot find you. Let us be honest with | ourselves, to our God and our church, | and it is our duty to help and sustain | that to the best of our ability, and this | IS one of the ways, to elect a Delegate. | Hunt up your certificates of naturaliza- ! tion and take them with you. May God | help us and instruct us to be up to this | duty and discharge it manfully and | faithfully and assist others. Let us go up, stand shoulder to shoulder, and pull | long and pull together, and believe we will win. Show our faith by our works"
 IN THE NINTH WARD.
 The saintly few who assembled at the Ninth Ward meeting house last evening were treated to some very wholesome advice from the sanctifed lips of Bishop Woolley. His remarks covered wide range, and he gave the brethren a whole lot of more or less valuable pointers on educational, social, legal, commercial and religious topics. The bishop wished to call the attention of his flock to the fact that hereafter they would be ex- pected to pay more attention 10 their duties in the matter of tithing. The revelations on this subject call for pay ment Tin kind and season." hence the practice of working for cash wages all summer and turning over farrow COW to the priesthood in the fall must be put stop to. He said it made him tired to have the brethren complain of hard times when trying to crawl out of pay ing their little 10 per centuln, and pointed with pride to the fact that under Liberal rule the times are better in Salt Lake than ever before known. He told how he used to work in the cafions when the snow was waist deep for $1 a day, at the same time paying $l0 hun dred for flour, $6 bushel for corn, and potatoes were hard to get at a bit apiece. Things are different under the new dispensatlon, and if the brethren will only ante up their tithing regularly the Lord will bless them and they will all have money to throw at the birds. In closing he told them that the apos-
