THE foregoing sentiment will strike
reasonable people as Just and well eN'
pressed. II IL tho Language OF ,S'
Governor West, In reference 10 the
present political movement In uiah
and the opposition to II from the
"Llberli" faction.
The position Ia thiG The alleged
reasons for excluding the "Mormons''
from political POWER have teen, the
practice Of polygamy and the union Of
Church members In ouc political or.
ganisatlon. The Church has declared
against future polygamous marriages
the Peoples party has deter
mined 10 dissolve. In the opinion
Of non.'sAiormons" everywhere, are
no, these actions rights Are they not
what was demanded Of them by The
general public volce7 II the acts are
right, who then has the right 70 im'
pugn the motives that led TO those
actlonss
The "Libcral" faction arc driven 70
nm unwise aud unreasonable araign'
ment Of motives, because they cannot
nnd fault with the actions. What the
"Mormons" have done cannot bo Inn
reached, therefore their motives arr
made the objects 81 suspicion.
II has been shown many times IN
these columns, that the ou,cry RAISED
against polygamy by certain writers
and rchcmcp, was bat n prc,ext. That

Also that tho claim 20 frequently
made that the Peoples PARTY was owl
demo. Of union Of Church aud State
was mere clap.trap, and tina, " The

tcpt up all tho same. The results
prove that our Arguments wcrv correct.
