and work for the party, or those who fight
against it! These other gentlemen on the
other side are Republicans everywhere ex-

arguments Of the preceding speakers and
clinched all the nails. He said the Repub-
licans would elect a delegate to Congress
next fall if the committee decided in his
favor. We are your children; will you

Although it was after o'clock and the
committee had now been in session over
two and half hours, nobody showed any
signs of weakening. and

by saying his voice was very weak and so
he would get near, and the committee in
vited him right up to their noses. AL the
neutrality-suspicious. clustered around him
and drank in his words as il he were a
demijohn. He said Bennett and Brown
have talked for pay for years and now
they talk as labor of love; they are more
eloquent than ever they were in their
lives. The Liberal party is charged with
being composed of Republicans and Demo-
Gratis leagued together. and why is that
necessary! Do any of you know what
Mormonlsm isl There Judge Goodwin
quoted from sermon of Brigham Young,
delivered many years ago. in which
he speaks of the determination OF
the Latter-day Saints to establish
the kingdom of God. Continuing, he said
up to last fall for forty years there never
were forty scratched Mormon tickets at
any election in the territory. He did not
doubt the sincerity of many Of the Gen
tiles who had gone off on party lines, nor
MIR. Frank Cannon's sincerity, nor that Of
many of the other Mormons, especially the
young ones; but in the backc ounties they
would always vote as they were told. AS
an evidence of this he referred to sermon
Of George @. Cannon's at the last confer
ence wherein he alleged that Mr.. Cannon
in deploring that some of the Saints ENTER
tanned hard feelings towards a certain
apostle in the church for taking an active
part in politics, he said that ne (Cannon)
had permitted the apostle to do as he had
done.
John Henry Smith, deny that and
challenge you to the proof
Goodwin took 1t from the official or
gan of the church, the Dessret NstUs The
manifesto did not repeal the revelation on
polygamy at all, it only suspended it.
He referred to Judge Anderson's de-
cision that a Mormon could not make a
good citizen, because they gave allegiance
to what they termed higher power.
Brown-That same judge is in the d.
vision movement now, isn't hel
Goodwin--It is for revenue only. Pro-
ceeding, he said the party divisions were
like the English army in the East Indies,
the leaders are English and the rank and
file are Sepoys. He then made the state
ment that the Mormons employed no Gen
tiles. This brought q number of promiuen;
Mormons to their feet, among whom were
John G. Graham, who said he had employed
Gentiles for many years and W. II. Rowe
who said he had about four hundred work
ers under his SUPPLEMENTARY for many
years, and many Of them, at least fifty tC
seventy-tiye, were Gentiles, and that ne
never asked them question as to their re-
ligion or politics. The judge then swung
off the
SAME OLD DRY ROT.
that had stood service so often in Wash
ington and elsewhere in making points
against the Mormons, viz: that when PEG
pie differed from the Mormons in the early
days they said the people were destroyed.
| He had received many letters from per-
sons who had given him information beg
ging him for Gods sake not to give away
their names or they would be instantly
ierked into the great beyond. The Collins
McMurrin affair next received his atten-
ton and the judge asserted that McMurrin
was rewarded for the part he took in that
by being made president of the London
conference, and that he preached in the
Mormon Tabernacle not three weeks ago.
Brown There sits the prosecuting at
torney, Mr.. Variau; why don't he punish
him. He has control of the courts.
Varian-I'Il tell you why. Because his
people came to me and interfered in his
behalf, and out of compassion, dismissed
the cases against him. Laughter.
Judge Mcbride, said Goodwin resuming,
is not en- rapport with the Republicans Of
Utah, and was disappointed in securing an
office he was after and so heis endeavoring
to break the necks of those who seated
him. He then made quotations from Nc
Brides utterances opposing statehood and
the Mormons.
Bsldrich, from Kansas-Haven't you
pu blisbed in your paper any time that
aside from polygamy, the Mormons were
as Industrious and honest as any people
that ever lived'
Goodwin would say that of the China
men.
Baldrich-Didnt you say it!
Goodwin have quoted it q thousand
times in my talks on Utah, but have also
said that polygamy was but the nasty ce-
ment that held Mormonism together, and
and that church rule was the great evil
of IT.
Continuing, Goodwin said that if the
committee should throw himself and Allen
out, they ana their party would go on as
before, but if they should throw the others
out, the Mormons would all turn Demo
Gratis.
PERFECT PANDEMoNIUM OF DENIALs
of this proposition from the Republicans
caused cessation of the proceedings for
some minutes and then the judge went on !:
'We object to any compromises; either &C.
cept Us or fire Us out"
Then, after hopping the perspiration
from his head, which ran in perfect rivu-
let's, the judge subsidized.
Judge Mcbride here arose and said that
charges and slurs had been made against
him, but he did not deem the present the
