bern committed suicide at her home ten

MORMoNs DEFEATED IN THE SALT LAKE
CITY ELECTION.
SALT LAKE, Feb. 10.-A light snow
fell last night, making the streets very
dissgreeable. A cold rain fell this morn
ing. The polls closed at 6 o'clock, and
the liberal leaders posted bulletins in
the windows of the headquarters CLAIM
Ing majority of 1900.
The news soon spread over the city
and the Gentiles took possession of the
city. Flags we've run up, and every
Gentle building in the city was decorated
with flags and lanterns. Fireworks were
sent up from hundreds of houses, canuons
doomed and bonfres were soon upon
everv corner. Hundreds of men in line
paraded the streets, with drums and
toiches, shouting like wild men over their
victory. No such scene was ever wit
messed in Utah as can he seen in Salt
Lake to night.
The mormons remain in doors and
have nothing to say ON the result, except
that the election was carried by fraud,
and that they will surely contest. They
admit deseat, but claim the majority will
Il
ally conceded to the Gentiles by large
majority. Perfect quiet reigned through
out the day.
On the question OF fraud, o. w. Pow
ers, chairman of the liberal party, has
this to say:
ut is last resort to defend the party.
The liberals kept strictly within the law
and ran an honest campaign, open and
above board. In June, when the battle
began, the Mormons commenced coloniz-
ing the city and continued the work until
the close of registration. They bought
from Mormon towns 1850 men, mostly
single, whom they put to work upon
sewers and public canals. These men
were not entitled TO vote here. We traced
them cut and followed them 40 closely
that only fifty-tive were registered under
our laws. The duty of the registrars dur
ing the two weeks preceding election was
to hear objections to voters and strike
those not entitled to vote from the list
We challenged 500 colonizers and also
those whom we had reason to believe
were polygamists. No man was chal-
lenged without reasonable cause.
During the registration John Bonfiel
was imported from Chicago, and brought
with him men whom we haze shown to
be thieves, thugs, burglars and repeaters,
and the cIy OF fraud was opened. Under
cover of this their people tried to vote
reporters and work the film fam. The
law under which the registrars acted is a
Mormon law adopted by leigiature
unanimously Mormon against Gentle
protest, and was for the express purpose
of preventing the Gsntiles from obtaining
a footing in the territory. Now that the
officers are appointed by the Utah COM
mission and Gentiles. the Mormons cry
out against this chlld of their own
creation"
