represented by the contesting gentlemen
here. They claimed they represented 1000
Democratic voters. He did not believe
they represented 200
Farley WilIiams-Not one
Then Judge Henderson made an earnest
plea for
FULL RECOGNITION or NOTHING.
Democrats and Liberals could no more
mix than fire and water A recognition OF
the Liberals by so much as the thousandth
part Of vote meant reputation Of the
work Of the Utah Democracy and condem-
nation Of the party in Congress, which
stood solidly back of the workers in Utah
He spoke Of the papers established by the
Democracy, and o. the expenditure Of
100000 to acquire TIE SALT LAKE HER
AID.
Rawlins-What Democratic paper repre-.
sents the Tuscaroras4
Henderson answered: "Not one; their
organ is the Tribune, the most ultra,
vicious aud BLACKLIST Republican paper in
the Rocky mountains"
! This point also told. Henderson said the
Liberal policy was but TO keep the Nor
mons out Of politics till the territory was
safely Republican, and then they would let
go. 1t has been alleged that this was 8
Mormon scheme. He challenged compar-
ison Of names with Powers and would
show that nearly every man who had been
/ instrumental in stamping out polygamy
was in the division movement. If the Tus-
earoras were Democrats, the party was
/ open to them. Let them come in.
He spoke Of alleged church interference,
and said the Democrats would take care OF
that Salt Lake was the social. intellectual
and political center of the Rocky Mountain
region, and the Influence Of the decision
would be felt in two states besides Utah.
Closing, the judge besought the COMMITTEES
not to make any namby-pamby disposition
of this great question BY compromise, but
to give the true Democracy. what it was
entitled to, all or nothing.
have seldom seen a man more nervous
than Judge Henderson when ha started
his speech, but when he got 10 work his
effort was matchless. In the twenty
minutes accorded him, he presented every
possible point, unraveiled the skeins and
laid plain, unyarnished tale before the
committee with such force and simplicity
a. to be irresistible. The Judge was i'm
meusely congratulated and all his friends
say it was the best short speech OF his life.
BYNUM RAMS IT HOME.
/ Then the towering figure Of Congress-
man Bynum entered the lists, and in his
three minutes talk he rammed home the
charge so we'll loaded by Henderson. He
praised the character of the Democratic
audiences he mad addressed in Ugh and
said the organization there was as foe as
any he had ever seen in the United States,
with the single exception OF the state Of
Washington. He never saw any Mormon
horns, but during his visit to Utah he
could say this, that if there were any other
4 Democrats around except those represented
by Game and Henderson, he never saw
vestige of them.
The black looks exchanged by Tuscaro-
ras at this fat-foOted declaration surpass
description. Glenn's eyeglasses alone
were poem.
Mr. Bynum concluded impressively by
saying III YOU divide this delegation, or
recognize the forces opposing the Democ-
racy, you wipe out the labor of the Demo-
cratic party in Utah and put a plot on
them from which they Will not recover fol
twenty years. Your action, too, will be
felt IN the adjoining states and territories
l know polygamy is abolished and | know.
too, that that result is due to no one more
than Judge Henderson and Judge judd. 4
Democratic Congress stands solid behind
the Democratic power in Utah. and I say
to you that the Democratic house will
probably pass the Democratic measure for
home rule"
GOVERNOR WEST.
/ There were still two minutes more, and
Governor West rapidly but effectually
used them by repeating the fate of the
Phil Corcoran resolution and the Tus-
carora platform on tariff He said also
this was in contest between rival factions,
/ the contestants were as distinct from the
Democratic party as prOhibitionists or al
lance men.
The governor closed with fine sarcasm
by asking the committee TO ask these men
to go pack nome and vote for and work for
tho Democratic party this fall and note
what their answer would be.
POWERS COLLAPSED.
Powers had eighteen minutes left, but
they were more than he needed; he was an
utter collapse Both his friends and his
enemies were surprised at the distance be-
tween his effort here and some of his Utah
stump speeches. He simply was out
classed. He somewhat feebly denounced
foreign interference, as though he were
afraid TO attack Bynum, and said if he
couldn't ind any but Mormon Democrats
in Utah may be it was because other DEM
ocrats hadn't been invited. He then re-
verted to the church influence aud asked
Judge Henderson whether he and other
Democrats had not waited on the heads Of
the church and denounced the action by
which the Republicans won Logan.
Judge Henderson said no, he was not
present, but said the conference was to exs
pose certain underlings who were attempt
ing to use church influence and that con-
sultation had brought statement from this
church leaders. over their own signatures,
stating that people were free TO vote sc
cordlng to their convictions.
This ratified Powers little and he fell
back on his reserye-praise OF the Liberal
party. Rawllns and Norrell asked per-
mission to ask him question about Lib
erals coalesciug with Republicans in Mount
Pleasant, but he CURLY refused to be inter-
rupted. He attempted to show why he eP-
posed Home Rule, and said it was emascu-
lated statehood. He soIennly promised the
committee that if be was recognized he
could 6oliver Utah a. a Democratic state in
