bate came UP. in the course of which,
Evans, of Weber. asked if it were true
that THE section had previously been

Against the Whole Article.
After some more motions had been
defeated. Thurman arose and said
that he would vote against the whole
article. All that was really good in
it had been stricken out. All the mat
tiers covered were in the power of the
legislature.
Preston said he heartily agreed with
this view.
Evans. of Weber. said that all the
work done with the article was in the
interest of corporations. The whole
thing had been patched arol.ld in
such a way that it was no longer of
any use. He would vote against it.
FAIR said he had wanted to strike
out the enacting clause several days

article.

to go through. The conclusions of the
gentlemen had been drawn too hastily.

of all the delegates to pass the ar
