state. There is a prejudice in the public
mind or perhaps apprehension would be
the better term, that the Mormon people
cannot be trusted with the rens of govern
ment. This apprehension may be an in
justice, but it exists and it will take long
time to dissipate it."
What are you going to do with the in
mates of the Woman's Christian home at
Salt Lake, if you turn the institution over
to the territory for deaf and dumb
asylum?p
The judge gave q curious little grunt,
which is about as near an approach 10 a
laugh as he usually gets.
"Why, bless your heart, my boy, the
home has but four or five inmates, and
they are children. Governor Thomas
would like to have it continued as home,
and he SO requested US yesterday. 1t costs
the government about $1,000 year to
maintain the institution. I can't see why
anybody should want to continue it as q
home, unless it is to find employment for
people who would be otherwise out of 6
job. We have determined to let the terri.
tory have it, and the children, we are as
sured, will be properly cared for by private
parties''

FIGURES WON'T LIE.
Secretary Tracy Computes the Returns-CiAve-
land Will Be Nominated on Second Ballot.


WASHINGTON, May Secretary Tracy,
who is warm supporter of Cleveland, who
has tabulated the returns from the state
conventions held to date, and figured on
the delegations to be selected, declares
with much emphasis that the ex- president
will receive the nomination probably on
the second ballot. OF the conventions al
ready held he gives Cleveland 9l5 and un-
instructed or anti Cleveland ballots, 1885,
Eighteen states have not yet declared their
preferences. Tracy divides them into 90
for Cleveland and 209 unrestricted or anti
Cleveland
According to Tracy's calculation, Cleve-
land will lack only about ninety votes to
secure the nomination. With this showing
on the first ballot he believes those waver-
ing on the unrestricted column will come
over. Antl-Cleveland men declare these
claims extravagant.
