MINORITY REPORT.

General McClornand, appeared In
last Saturdays DEsrREr EvENiNu
NEWS In company with the majority
report. II IL fair aud candid statement
Of facts, and consistent and CO.
gent argument. Its conclusions Will
commend themselves 10 every unprcju-
diced reader, aud persons who may
have been proluilced must be con.
WINGED, II reasonable, that the minority
report dlsaipaies many erroneous i'm.
pressions conveyed by the report Of the
majority.
Commissioner McClcrnand holds
views that cannot be succo ssfully con-
trovertoi. Like Judge Carlton he
take, consistent dem,crs tic ground,
sud contends for the rights Of "Alor-
monsv In Common with other citizens
who obey the laws, ana shows the
wrong Of sny attempt TO take from
them any political power unless for
conviction Of crime.
This gentleman does not hes ltate to
acknowledge that registration officers
appointed by the Commission have,
particularly In the large cities, Illegally
stricken the names Of duly qualified
citikens from tho registration lists, aud
have unlawfully deprived membcrs Of
the Peoples Party Of their right to
vote. This Is important, In view VI the
attempt Of the majority Of the Com
mission 10 Justify the action Of their
registrars, and to maintain, In face Of
the iamning facts patent 10 all Utah
and placed beyond doub, by testimony
Ia the court. 10 the contrary, that the
elections unlor their administration
have been conducted honestly and
fairly.
We do not agrco with the gallant
General that there Is no remedy for the
evils no admits except the power "
removal. We believe that while
changes In tho Ia We governing cleo.
tons are desirable, yet II the present
laws were administered according to
their meaning aud intent, the troublo
