deemed remarkable that q battle

remarkable than was the selection
Of Bunker Hill as a location for q

Of defeat, but they were defeats that

DON'T YOU DO 1T!

THERE is an evident Liberal
intention to steal, if possible, all the
offices voted for at the county cleo
ton. This is manifest from the die
patches sent from this city, the hint:
dropped in Liberal" prints and the
incautious remarks ofOpen-mouthed
Liberal" Ioaters, moneyei and i'm,
pecunious.
Its certain that if every legal vO,
ter Of the Peoples Party had been
permitted to cast his ballot, not one
''Li5eral'' candidate would have
been elected. BY the term "legal
voter we mean just what the law
means. We exclude all polyga-
mists, bigan-istS and persons cOhab-
iting pOlygamously, and those who
have been convicted Of OfIenses
against the laws Of Congress in re,
lation to such offenses.
That many legal voters have been
robbed Of their right Of franchise
at this election can be proved beyond
refutatiOn. So far, this wrong has
been quietly submitted to. But
there are limits to patient endurance.
We warn the cOnspiTatOrs who arc
anxious TO go further that it will
not be safe to do 60. The People
xant a fair count OF the votes cast,
and they expect TO have it. Fraud
enough has been committed against
them. 1t will not be wise to attempt
anything further of that kind.
This is not 4 threat, but a warn.
ing. Let all the votes cast for each
candidate be correctly counted,
added up and officially announced,
Nothing less than this will do. Dc
not attempt to inaugurate any
further schemes to defeat the will OF
the people as expressed at the polls,
or carry out any OF the unlawful
projects threatened. That is all We
have to say.

WILL ANYTHING BE DONE!

THE elections held in this city
and Ogden under the auspices OF
the Utah Commission, during the
past two years, have demonstrated
these facts.
That frauds of the most shameful
character have been perpetrated
in the interes. u the so-caIled Lib
crap party.
That neither the principals in the
crimes committed, nor any Of the
accessories have been brought to
justice.
That the officers whose duty it is
TO prosecute offenders against the
law have failed to proceed against
the robbers of the peoples rights.
That the Utah ( Commission, while
apparently DESTROYS Of promoting
fairness and impartiality, have not
exhibited any forci5le determine
ton TO yiudicate their own author
ity or remove app0intees who defy
their Instructions ami violate the
law.
That the people have tamely sui
mittei TO political outrages, until
the impudent and lawIess nlanipuIa-
tors Of election frauds believe they
can continue their villainy with
cut danger.
That unless some vigorous efforts
are made to expose these frauds and
punish the criminals, elections in
this Territory viii be only n farce
ana the means by which the Glib
eral' party can seize the offices and
reward the scoundreFs who perform
theiI political dirty work.
We regard as a mistake the policy
OF the Peoples Party in allowing
the vIllainies practiceJ by their op-
ponents at the February election To
pass without public exposure and
prosecution. We believe, with
Others, that the criminals would
have escaped punishment. But we
do not coincide with the view that
therefore it was useless to proceed
against them. We have no doubt
whatever that the evidence nd.
duced would have been so over
"heimingly against them, that re-
spectacle people Of all classes would
nave been disguised with a PARTY
th2t employed such measures and
such men, and that it would have
had 4 salutary influence with the

There are persons who so fragrant
ly violated the law, while acting a:
registration officers or judges Of cleo
ton, that due process Of law would
land them in jail and post them be-
fore the public as political thieves.
II the people OF Utah value the
few privileges and rights which re-
main to them, and have the spirit
and vigor OF honest manhood, they
viii refuse TO lie down in the dust
while knaves and robbers walk over
them into stolen places and plum
dered power. No matter if packed
juries and biased officials help the
rascals out Of the legal consequence
Of their crimes. Let in the light
upon their doings. Show up their
shameful methods. Make plain to
the world the kind OF creatures that
commit the frauds and are promised
or put up for office in pay for their
depravity,
And further. Every legal voter
who has been deprived Of his rights
at the polls should exert himself to
demonstrate the wrong done to him
and recover his franchise. If he
were robbed Of his purse or his
horse, he would follow up the thief
and strive 10 regain his property.
The ballot IS worth more than
money, and he who steals it is a viler
criminal than a highwayman.
1t is but fair to say in behalf Of
prosecuting officers, that complaints
are more common than available
witnesses, and demands for ven
geance than adducible proofs. Men
who are ready in private to relate
what they have seen and heard, be-
gin to shrink when requested to go
into court and tell the truth before a
jury. ''Ob, what is the use?'' That
is the usual response. The
use is as We have described. The
fault is with men who are not ready
to do a disagreeable public duty.
Much Of the blame for the immuui-
ty of election rogues, lies with those
who know Of their guilt and are I'M
willing to swear in public to what
they affirm in private.
The law is plain, the facts are
numerous and prOvable, the wit
nesses are reliable. the courts are
open, the public will give It's ver-
diet 10 matter what picked juries
may do, the cause is just. the cOnse-
quences are important, aud for the
future welfare Of this Territory,
Justice demands that villainy shall
be exposed, and that men in high
places shall be tested, to see whether
they will stand by the right or con-
done fraud and become accOmplices
in villainy. This is all talk. viii

The Wife OF Her Uncle.

Mary Sausone, of Baltimore, is one Of
those who look upon marriage as a failure,
and sac has therefore begun suit to secure
her freedom. She first met her husband,
who is also her uncle, in May, 1851, and they
went to Washington for tbs purpose of
being married. Soon after this her hus-
band deserted her, The laws Of the District
Of Columbia DO not prohibit such mar
riages, and the question to be determined
Is whether the union, though legitimate
where the ceremony occurred, is valid in
Maryland. Mrs. Sausone has one child.
Her husband Is now in Virginia.
