length, but as THE DISPATCH gave a
statement o. those grievances in Its
impression of the 18th, and again last
Saturday, there is no need to more
than refer to them at this time. The
words OF the address were we'll chosen.
and the spirit of the entire document
that will form such an intensely in.
teresting chapter of history in the
years to come, was dgni6ed. firm and
d ispassionate, There was nothing in
the address to infame the passions OF
men or to shock the delicate religious
feelings of the people, nor to unneces-
salily wound the hearts of the eclesias
tical leaders of the people. 1t was
merely recitation of wrongs extending
over period of four years and that
were hitherto borne almost without
remonStrance. The statements in that
address were true and will be so con
ceded by every one who has watched
the events of the last few ye ars, and
whose reasonings are not clouded by
the fires Of bIgotry, and whose hearts
are not indurated by the greed of Of
flee. We hereby bear our personal
testimony to its truth and just ice, and
will stand by that testimony through
all time.
During the reading of that mild,
yet terrible Indictment, there was a
hush like that which comes to men
and women in the presence of death,
or when some great calamity is i'm
pending Or has fallen upon them.
Many old veterans sat with bowed
heads, and all felt the hot blush of
shame, not for themselves, not for any
fault of theirs, while the address re-
counted the political history Of Utah
since the inception of The division move
ment.
At the close of its reading, a tre-
mendous roar of shouts of approval
welled up from that magnificent con-
course of American citizens.
There have gone from that c0nven-
tion six hundred men and women, good
and true, who will take with them the
spirit and determination that char.
acterized the meetings of the repre-
sentatiYes of the people. They will
take with them the unyielding deter
minatlon to adopt the constitution,
They will take with them the deter
mination to fight the battle of this
campaign in spirit of equal and exact
justice to all men. They will take
with them the determination to poll
every democratic vote in Utah in favor
of absolute freedom of conscience and
action in political matters. They will
take with them the determination that
promises sacredly made shall be
sacredly kept. They will take
with them the determination to poll
such vote as will convince the people
of the United States that the great
democratic party of Utah can be en-
trusted with the religious liberty of all
men and that statehood will be safe in
their hands.
On the 9th of next month the people
will be called upon to do their part.
Voters, let us shoulder to shoulder
with firm and upfinching courage,
march forth to the overthrow of an
enemy whose leaders are cowardly and
unscrupulous, leaders. like Crane, Can
mona and Allen that would trail the
banner Of freedom and the cross of the
peerless Son of Man in the mire of
politics to the end that they may batten
on the spoils of Office dishonorably and
corruptly obtained. Voters, the ma
tinn is looking on the sublime battle
that is now being waged in the inter
est of promises redeemed and the
deliverance of Utah from the dark |
stain of dishonOr that, ike a |
funeral pail, is hanging over the peo-

Utah asks yoG to rebuke for all time
the miscreants that believe the poIiti-
cal complexion of Utah should be
formed by such unholy means as IS
