titled 1.-THE Facts in the Utah Case" 1t is
issued by Powers and Kiesel, delegates,
and Tarpey and Cohen, Rlternates. 1t
starts ont with the Ogden convention of
May 5, 1888, as the other pamphlet does,
but states that the central committee there
appointed, of which Merritt and Norreil
were chairman and secretary, was named
for four years. 1t carefully omits to men
ton the fact that the five members who
made up the new committee of ten walked
out of the meeting of June 20, 1884, tender
ing their designations because they were
downed by vote OF IA to 5 on the question
of party division, but denounces the regu-
lar committee for filing up the vacancies
occasioned by the desertion. The
pamphlet gives stenographer's report
of the meeting Of April 2, 1892
when the FIVE boilers, through Powers
and other holders of proxies attempted to
obtain recognition in the committee meet
| ing, but were incoutinently bounced by
Colonel Merritt; then details how the five
"bouncees'' repaired to Judge Powers Of
nee and made up a new committee OF ten
| (why not twenty, not hint is throw out)
All of which is told with as much calmness
and assurance as ii the boilers had been
following the usual precedents and the
regular order of succession. At q rough
estimate the book contains one thousand
mentions of the word Mormon two
hundred and fifty Glands of the church,
one hundred and twenty-five ''priestly
controls" one hundred ''usurpers," fifty
"born in night' and twenty-five
''forsooth.' The whole thing is as
if it had been made up of q recipe on the
housewife plan. Take one thousand back

on the blank pages of your pamphlet add
thereto the decision of Chief Justice
Lochrie and the result will be very well
boiled down statement of the claims of the
Tuscarora contestants.
Lochrie's decision takes just five AMI
one-fourth of the twenty-three pages of
the pamphlet; in view of the decision of
Chief Justice Zane, completely knockiLg
this decision into smithereens, it is difficult
to see what the Tuscaroras expect to do
with the large number Of books they have
already distributed; perhaps they propose
to call them in aud insert an "erratan slip
on the. fly leaf, asking the public to kindly
note that pages ii to 10 inclusive, should
have been omitted. The whole pamphlet
concludes with the following declaration,
which, think, will be equally hilarious to
Liberals, Republicans and straight-out
Democrats: ''In round numbers there are
! 10,0 600 Gentle voters in the territory today
who stand united upon all local concerns.

The Tuscaroras are today limiting all

Henderson and Game have the
ONLY TITLE TO RECOGNITION.
The Tuscaroras all agree that they have
but the shadow Of claim, and if only the
national committee, a subcommittee or
committee on credentials will take time to

can save the cigar sign Indians

Cohen had brief conference with
Brice today. On emerging their faces
did not look exactly beatific, and Cohen
said the case would como up in sub COM
mittee. Opinions seem to differ. Secre-
tary Seerin told the Utah people that
WHERE THERE WAS A CONTEST,
neither delegation was enrolled until after
the matter had been investigated by the
committee on credentials. William c.
| Whitney, secretary of the navy under
Cleveland, and q central figure at Cleve-
lands headquarters, told me during per-
sonal interview today that it was probable
neither one or the other of the Utah dele
cations would be put down on the prelim-
mary roll. The one that was entered
would take the seats until the committee
on credentials had disposed of the cues

VARIETY OF VIEWS
thus seems to prevail and readers of THE
| HERALD must take their choice, at least for
this writing. So it is probable that tickets
will be distributed to both contestants
