At the conclusion of the reading, several
gentlemen sprang TO their feet and moved
that the report be adopted.
MIR. Ferry asked that before the report be
adopted, any delegate who wished to be
heard be given an opportunity. The
gentleman from Summit then proceeded to
read an address, which he said had been
approved by Judge Goodwin, after all that
was Objectionable had been eXpunged. The
address was to the effect that Utah would
never sneak around TO the back door TO ask
for admission, but would wait until she
could go In AT the front pates
JUDGE POWERS
arose and stated that but little remained
for him to say.
He understood the sentiments of the com
mittee because they were the sentiments of
all Americans. They We're sentiments that
would one day make of Utah a most beautiful
| state. The efforts OF the called Republicans
and Democrats could only lead to darkness.
This great change on the part of the majority
was only cuange IN name, by which the
! leaders OF the church hoped 10 obtain statehood,
and then build up here the kingdom of God
| on earth, with power to call them
down. When statehood came, Utah
must not enter through the back door,
| She must walk in through the open gates of the
nation with her crown OF gold and silver fash
ing on her head This Home Rule bill was a
fraud from the beginning. II was sprung with
out being submitted to the people and was
undemocratic. 1t would cost SS5 600 to pay the
salaries of the judges and other officers pro
Vided for in this bill, and would turn the juGic
| larry over 10 JDOSe VINO were working Inc
| scheme. The people OF Utah to-day were ell
Joy1ng as good rule existed anywhere in the
| country. The government had sent here mer
who had forced this people, in spite OF them
| selves TO bow down before the American flag
The matter should be HANDLED without g oges
These people believed that the voice OIL
God was the voice of the people. The Lie
erals believed that the voice of the people wa:
the voice of God and they believed, too, il
the equality of all men before the law. WITH
such an issue there could be no peace here
until the right trumphed. American institu
items and ASiatc institutions could not eXiS
side by side. One must 90 down. Following OF
| the heels OF this Home Rule bill, there was in
troduced in the territorial legislature thu
other DAY, bill which provided that the ex
preston Of the people here should b.
taken away from them. What foolish tn n!
it would be to lit their hands just as the.
had this institution down. he doubted no
that the Liberals would PIE er statehood L
that other substitute, and then Ugh
II out like men. When statehood was given Il
Utah, she was cut loose from he
mornings TO the government, and then broil
and contentious would follow that would stun
the growth of the territory. u hen LOreuz
snow told Governor West that this peopl
could never yield. the Liberals felt some respec
for them. But when they tried 10 sneak unde

future no matter what troubles might come.
could not be that here in the farest part of tn
country, there could be slavery. The Liberal
were seeking TO work out what the rcvo.utior
airy fathers worked out. A party must b
built upon the rock of principle or it would b
washed away by the waves Of public opinion.
REBELLION RAMPANT.
When Judge Powers finished, Mr. Ferr
| tried to speak, but Mr.. Varian refused I
recognize him and Mr.. Ferry, white wit
passion, rushed to the front and said
| The chairman refuses to recognize you
| chairman OF the committee on resolutions
Mr.. Variant will not recognize 70
until every other man is heard, for III
), reason that you have spoken once.
Mr.. Ferry appeal from the decision {
the chair
t Varian stood firm and ordered Ferry
take his seat, which the gentleman froI
Summit did with very bad grace.
: Mr.. Snyder arose and moved that th
! resolution in regard 10 labor be stricke
t out and that there be submitted q Sill
effusion in which frequent reference wa
t made to the flag, American homes, mother
tears, polygamy and so on.
Its Stiffness made the audience 'augh, an
the author wisely declined to allow the r
q porIers to copy it after it had been vote
= down. Mr. Sutherland, OF Provo, said tt
e workingmen, in the opinion of the cor
5 mittee, had the right OF representation, ar
that they should be recognized. The refe
h ence to workingmen in the report was n
e intended as a uresolution, but simply
& note to the report 1t was simply compl
mentary TO that class and had nothing to
with the report.
: Lily of the Valley Allen said he hoped til
: resolutions would not be changed in ar
3 particular. Inc committee had laoored
e the afternoon aud had met tie views OF Il
e convention. To alter the report would
}. to weaken 1t.
n A delegate from Summit thought that Il
/ labor resolution had no more place in Il
!, report than one in reference to hardwa
l. merchants.
d Fred Shields, of Ogden, announced tn
:. he was mossback and q carpet bagge
n Therefore he hoped that the report wouldr
be changed, even for the sake OF grammatlc
construction. This individual then gave
}, dissertation On the mutability of
e things human, and followed it UP with
e autobiography of his own career. 7
, gentleman then gave a dramatic recit
9 from Richelieu, pounded the reporter
n table and aroused suspicion in The min
) of the scribes that the gentleman fro
ID Weber saw snakes. Finally he ambled
D. far into the fields Of poesy, that Sir Orac
% Varian had to call him down and ms
y that he address himself to the question.
" Mr.. Shields wasn't anywhere ne
Il through, but the audience called tim
upon him, and he finally sat down disco
lie flied.
/ One Corcoran injected few remarl
" and Ferry, of Summit
NEARLY PRECIPITATED AREvoLT
~ ~ by making point Of order. AS no O
re else wished 10 speak, the chair said
II, would recognize Ferry.
I'm whap capacityi" asked Ferry.
N ,'lrefuse to handy words with you, sill
"a said Varian. you can address the CT
IL vention or take your seat, sir.''
"a "Then," said Ferry, snatching his bad
re from his breast, II return toyou this bad
rs of your hospitality"
RS This scene created great sensation
