Wei. the Liberals have been here
represented by A. o. Sutherland and II.
NJ. Dougall. They talked last night in
the opera house. Mr.. Sutherland was
first TO The fore. ard he told the waiting
multitude, oue-third OF the seating
capacity was barren. about the men
Who opened the mines at the time Gen
eral C3nuor Was in this latitude, and
how hard hey digged and delved that
Is, the Wol6ngmenl twenty years ago.
He then informed us that what hap
pened tNeniy wears ago made sufficient
evidrpc- tliI, We ought to be Liberals
.,o,r. A small hoy in the corner clapped
his hands al !Ir august remark, and
was led out 10y his papa for breach of
trust. The speaker then struck his
forte and informed US that the proper
time had not come to divide and a great
big galOot In the gallery sent down the
query, Whea the proper time would or
could come? The speaker at this point
make a wonderful confession. He said
that the people of Utah had only their
internal concerns TO concern them.

to interfere and probably get punched
for I'M eTfering. | had been wait ng
some time for applause, and just at
that time a stray mouse WAS observed
BY vigllant Liberal and he Just did
applaud With both feet, but the mouse
escaped.
The speaker, A. @. Sutherland, Il
think that is the mame,) then told us
how to have peace. He said if we
would do away with polygamy, and
church and state, and church and state
and p0lygamy, we could then claim a
position in The great galaxy, or galaxer,
II forget which,, of stars, and such
things. Just at this point the speaker
got a cinch on US. He said, do YOU
sup pose. and if. and if it is right to ii-
vide on party lines nor, why was it not
done years ago?'' Just ached to ask
the gentleman when in the name OF
BelZeebub we could divide if he ran
the separator. But | didn't. From the
way the orator approached the yestibule
/ knew that something Of importance
was at last coming, and it came N this
shape. With hands uplifted to high
Nebo, and with a searching glance of
patriotism and self-sacrilce. the
speaker Numbered out in malediction
tones.
"Did the Peoples party ever give a
Liberal an office, and if they We're
not honest then, why should we say
they are honest now? Great Calithum-
plans, what a betrayal of domestic in
felicity"
The speaker then wanted to know
if we remembered how it used to be.
The time was once, he said, when we
had a good market in Montana and !
Idaho and other places. Condemn il ,
all, | hitched to ask him when that /
time was. 1t must have been before
the Liberals came into a shaded prom
inence, because he said the time iraS and [
so forth, ct cetera. In conclusion /
the speaker Dragged on the superior .
intellect Of the Liberals, and .
l was Just going to choke hoodlum be- .
cause he expressed a desire to ask the /
orator if he knew that he had been try /
ing to make a speech, but lust at that .
time little cheer away back in the .
northeast corner admonished me that /
the time was not propitious for muScu-

said in tones of eloquence that as the

did not feel like bothering us with a

to say, but somebody sneezed, and a
third gentleman came on deck just in

Since the Mormons have yielded to
our demands, is a sentiment which
seems TO be fondled with great earn
estness and gusto. The good people of
Salem heard the news from one of |
PaySon' political Republican speakers, |
and 1t was repeated at Payson by r.
T. Smith on Anniversary day, with this |
addition. Smith in his harangue said,
Now that the MormOns have yielded I
10 our demands" and he followed |
up his burst Of eloquence by saying,
when the people OF Utah escape rom
their ihraldOm, etc, etc, etc. Great .
Great logic! The orator
did not tell us why the people Of Utah +.
are not free. and he knows If he knows
ANYTHING about Utah affairs that the
people of Utah are as free as any peo-
be upon earth Such ideas are born,
reared and cultivated in the minds

their old robes and have dOnned the .
garments of Republicanism.
Trouble is brewing In the air. A

The article contains the startling in
