TO good government and Christian
civilization; that it degraded woman
hood, made capital of the sincerity o
the people and invaded the sanctity o
religion. and that the government
could not too soon take decisive &C
ton.
The House committee on Territories
will take up the Utah DISTINGUISHING
bill on Saturday next, when Jere. VII
son will be heard for the Saints.
The flaming headlines of the Gov
ernor's organ might be taken a,
correct If applied to Mr.. Came,
detractor. Mr.. Thomas admit
that he did make the statement Il
the delegate that the latter at
tributed to him before the commit
tee. Mr.. Game did him no injustice,
placing him on neutral ground, as
taking no active position for OF
against the Acknowledgement meas
ure. He placed the Governor in
the position ostensibly assumed by
the latter when he accepted five
hundred dollars from the Cham
Der OF Commerce TO pay
his expenses at the capital. The
stuff about the answer to Mr.. Gaines
question as to his attitude being a
confidential communication is the
veriest rubbish, the interrogation
being put by the delegate to enable
him to ascertain the status Of Mr..
Thomas in relation to the disfran-
chisement bill. But If ne intended
1t as confidential, of what character
was the statement urging the legis-
lation in question made to
members Of the committee? He
admits both statements, other
wise he would make Dubois
a falsifier. The one state
ment is the antithesis of the
other, and he is therefore in the
light Of a selfproclaimed hypocrite,
with two tongues and a double face.
Seeing that he has been completely
exposed he now prOclaims his own
villainy being, according to the
Tribune, guilty Of "betraying a
trust"
Having introduced the special Of
the leading anti-Morlnon organ
headlines and alive COW give one
which appeared in the Herald Of
this morning, which correctly ex-
plains the position:
Washington, D. C., April 24.-Goy-
ernor Thomas returned from New
York this morning. He is boiling
over with wrath al Delegate Game for
using his name in his argument before
the House committee on Territories
yesterday. wherein he said that Gov
ernOr Thomas had emphaiically stated
TO him that he, Thomas, was taking no
part either for or against the Baskin
Acknowledgement bill. He chargesDele-
gate Caine with a breach Of courtesy
in making Use Of private converse
ton. Delegate Game when asked
about the matter, spurned the charge
Of breach OF courtesy. He says that
when he inquired Of Governor
if he was making any effort |
in behalf of the Acknowledgement
bill, he told the Governor that he |
did not wish TO do him any injus-
lice; that he had heard certain rumors,
and he came TO him frankly and |
made the inquiry, telling Thomas at
The same time that he could please
himself whether he answered him or |
not. Thomas then stated that be was
.akinG no part in the matter either for
Dr against the bill. Mr.. Caine SAYS /
that between himself as Dele /
gate and Mr.. Thomas As Governor,
here could be nothing Of 4 private or
confidential character i'm any CONVEX
alton concerning n bill pending in
congress which so vitality affected the
,eople Of U.ah. l. is strongly sus-
,ected that the Governor is wrathy
because he has been unmasked, which
vas unwittingly done by Delegate
dubois before the committee yesier-
lay"
Mr.. Game is not the only person
ThOnI Governor Thomas assured lin
YOris) that he was and intended to
emain neutral on the disfranchise-
nent legislation. y few days be-
Dre he left for the east, in n convers-
ton with Mr.. James II. Anderson,
representative of the NEWS, Gov
rnor Thomas, in reply TO an in
uiry as to his position on the ques-
ion Of DISTINGUISHING the Nor
Mons" Governor Thomas said:
''of course you know 1 have made
srtain recommendation in my re-
ort, but on the point you suggest I
ave not taken a position one way or
ie other. have not bothered nv
cad about it, as it is not my business
) Governor, and shall not take any
art in the affair. 1 shall keep en-
rely aloof from the question"
Having been thus full in placing
efore the public a record of facts !
hich demonstrate beyond question a
lat a couple Of men-with special '
ference TO one of them-kave t
sen guilty Of the most fragrant t
'uble-dealing; that they have used a
lie money and influence of the d
Of Commerce to cut the o
)litical Threats of some OF the men
no contributed it, and consequent q
have placed the organization :,
a very trying position, what is ;,
.xt in order? The Chamber of :,
1mmerce has published the fact a
at these men areits agents TO do its r.
DIRK, and not to take n political ac- a
IN against the interests Of any Of p
e members Of the body. Unless the tt
lamber shall recall these repre- b
natives and repudiate their par u
an doings, the association itself c
II stand before the public as par 81
ipator in an offense against fair Ia
aling and common decency. IL
