SALT LAKE, Feb. 1.-THE municipal
election of this city, the anticipated re-
suit of which has attracted the attention
of the entire country, passed off quietly
yesterday contrary to general expectations.
The city has been crowded for days with
special police, detectives and deputy
United States marshals for the purpose of
preventing Illegal voting, which each
party claimed the other would resort to
for the purpose of carrying the day.
The polls closed at 6 O'Clock and ill.,
eral leaders posted a bulletin in the
windows of headquarters claiming a ma
jority of 1900. The news soon spread
over the city and the gentiles took pos
session. Flags and lanterns were run up
on every gentle building in the city,

Of men in line paraded the streets with
drums and torches shouting like wild
men over their victory. No such scene
was ever witnessed in Utah as was seen
in Salt Lake last night. The Mormons
remain indoors and have nothing to say
on the result except that the election was
carried by fraud and that they will surely
contest it. They admit defeat but claim
the majority will not exceed 400.

interesting, each side bringing the house

holding them quiet with an a%rgumentive,

Of which we will note:
0) The 9th chapter OF Genesis tells the
origin of the "colored people," The afro
cious violation of the 18th commandment
brought upon him and his p~osterity a
curse from God. The curse pronounced
by Noah included color, thick skull and
limited brain and slavery. "a servant of
servants shall he be unto his brethren"
The negro is an object of pity rather than
censure, but churches and colleges and
noblest efforts of the descendants of
Japheth ("God shall enlarge Japheth')
CAL no more remove the curse thar they
car give power to escape death. To
maintain a favored people in a high
standard of excellency, necessitates the
removal Of a N accursed people.
(2) Homes make communities, commun-
tiles make counties, counties makes states
and states make nations. Then it follows
that our nation is but a great home. Just
as IL would injure the caucasian family
to admit an African with equal privileges
and honor, SO it injuries our nation to
maintain the two ace as peers.
(3) The science of phrenology manifests
that separation Is essential.
~ Their accursed state makes them
hoastful as to jail life being easy. The
p~enitentiary Of Tennessee ct III states is
overfowed and the negroes are hired out
by the states in groups of SO, thus robbing
honest white labor Of opportunities and
forcing emigration or c%rimlnality.
(5)t 'Twould break the solid south" and
give a harmonious union.
(6) Twould remove in a large degree
the corruption Of politics.
