The CITY in Brief.

Six coaches of enthusiastic live and en-
ergetc citizens of Denver arrived over the
Union Pacific railroad at 80 yesterday.
They were net at the Union depot by the
Ogden city band, led by our enterprising
business man Charley Lane and escorted
TO Power Place, Lake View addition, Uni
Verslty Place and the numerous additions
to our lovely city. Many invest
ments were made, several of them quite
heaVy and in all very gratifying to Ogden
ties. Several of the visitors declared they
would return and make their home with
US. A manufacturer was heard to say that
the power to operate large manufact cries
was unsurpassed.
ID, Thorburn, grand recorder of the A.
y. Y. W., and a Republican, and member
OF the Republican county central commit
tee, and a. r. Kegwood, city attorney
under our Liberal administration, also a
Republican, and member of the central
committee, say they are opposed to the
Dill; that 1t is unnecessary under existing
circumstances in this territory.
A. G. Emerson, son of the late and
greatly respected Judge of the First Judi
clal district and for a long time clerk Of
the said court, is thoroughbred Repub-
ican and Liberal from ''waybacll -
Allie says he believes in fair play and no
''skunduggery;'' that we have all the
needed laws to solve the question which is
v,
preston OF all that is illegal in Mormon
ism. We have been getting help from the
general government as fast as we could
utilize it. Nothing more is needed at
present, except the vigorous enforcement
Of the laws.
The MAIDEN brothers, Republicans, are
opposed to the bill. Elwood pays: 4" We've
received all that we asked for in the way of
laws Tor the suppression of polygamy and
its kindred evils. Those laws are SUI
tcient to accomplish the purpose for which
they were enacted. We have fought the
enemy and run him tozhis hole: we've
whipped him and he acknowledges it. l
don't believe in jumping upon fallen foe.
I've been whipped and knocked down and
thumped when l was down aud helpless,
and L didn't like it. That's one reason why
am opposed to the disfranchisement bill.
1t is not needed
A. Perrin, United States commissioner
ana Democrat, opposes it because it is
un-republicaE and un-democratic He SAYS
1t condemns men without a hearing, and
- before they have been convicted of any
passage of the bill
Volney c. GunnelI, attorney-at-law, who
came to Ogden from Colorado, is a Repub-
hcan. He is opposed to the bill, says the
present laws are all sufficient and that the
people can afford to be liberal and magnan-
-imous; besides, the principle is vicious
one. IF man violates any law let him be
punished. If any man has gone into polyg
amy since 1882 and the fact can be proved.
give him the full extent of the penalty
prescribed by the statute. Those are my
sentiments
William Binford, real estate man and
Republican, and his partner, John Reck.
an old timer and most pronounced Liberal,
who has ever been steadfast opponent of
the. alleged illegal features of Mormonism,
are opposed. to the bin and have in their
office protest against it, which has re
celved great many signatures.
George II. Burgitt, an ex-Dakotan ana
an ardent Republican, is partner in the
real estate firm of Reed & Burgitt, the
senior partner being a Democrat. Mr..
Burgitt says: 1.-THE Mormon question re-.
quires no further legislation. If the Nor
mons obey existing laws, as a very large
: proportion of them are doing, they are en-
titled to all the benefits enjoyed by any
party or sect"
\ E. w. Exum, Democrat and ex-deputy
marshal, says: 81 am bitterly opposed to
the bill. 1t is un-American, un- demo
cratic. and subversive of public liberty. 1t
ought not to pass Congress and l don't be-
lieve that it will. There are too MANY
sensible and long headed men in your own
party (your correspondents party, which
Is hepuDllcan) 10 auOW Inc INFAMOUS meas
ure to go through"
~ ". w. Funge, thoroughbred Republi-
'can, pronounced and consistent Liberal
foreman Of the last grand jury and bust
ness man whose word is as good as his
bond, opposes the measure with all the
vigor of his Irish nature.
Ogden Hiles, ex district attorney of the
United States, signed the protest against
the passage of the bill; as did A. G. Fell.
alderman of Ogden city; H. L. Griffin,
councilman; NJ. o. Breedin, A H. Swan.
A. H. Nelson, L. b. Adams, J. G. Arm
strong, A. c. Bigelow, John Tyler.

have list of names of more than one
hundred good men of Ogden who do not
favor the passage of the Cullom bill. All
of them are on record, and not one of them
is afraid or ashamed to have his opinions
known. If more names are needed they
will be forthcoming.
