STILL IF SESSION.
The committee on platform and resolu-
tons is still in session at late hour.
Among the planks adopted was one favor
ing the free coinage of silver in very strong
language and the following on the Nor
mon question:
I'VE denounce the hypocrisy of the Republi-
can party IN dealing with the Mormon question
and
Whereas, The test oath en- bodied in the con-
stitution of the state of Idaho in relation the
elective franchise is sufficiently far-reaching
TO protect the rights OF the sta and insure the
rights of electors; and
Whereas. The Republican legislature of the
last session having in view the perpetual dis
franchisement OF the large class of people
known as Mormons, added to the constitutional
provision an &c post Jacto condition. and this
long after the Mormons. through their president
and people, in the most solemn manner, had
abandoned all their objectional teachings and
practices; and
Whereas The action of the Mormon people
in these respects has been accepted by the ma
tionai Democracy in good faith; therefore be it
Resolved, That we brand the provision in the
election law passed by the Republicans of the
last legislature as unconstitutional and radi-
cally &c pest fdcto; that we demand its absolute
and unconditional repeal and that we favor an
immediate test case in the proper courts for the
determine ton of the constitutionality of said
law in order that this prescribed class of citi-
zens may exercise the right of franchise at the
coming election.
