Mr.. Rawlins, land the leaders of the
Mormon Church have no wish to re-
vive polygamy. The law providing
for the admission of Utah revoked the
obnoxious Edmunds-Tucker act, which
is an insult to the people. think I
know the people who will dominate
affairs if this bill should pas, and You
will never regret your action if you
pass this bill.
Mr.. Harter spoke in opposition to
the measure, saying there was no hard
ship and less expense all around in liv-
ing under territorial government. Be-
sides. he was opposed to small States.
Said he: II object to the bill solely on
the ground that Utah does not have
sufficient population. There are too
many States in the Union which are
too small, and Delaware and Rhode
Island would not be admitted to the
sisterhood of States in this day They
fought their way. Let lis digest our
- l,,f %
our supper. Let us civilize Kansas be-
fore we take in other states. The last
seven States admitted to the Union
have not grown rs rap dly as States as
they have under territorial form OF
government. and they are repre- ented
by fourteen Senators at the other end
of the Capitol-a representation en-
tirely out Of proportion to their popu-
lation."
