UTAH DEMOCRATS.
The state Convention Reconyenes by
Special Call.


Special Coll.
SALT LAKE Utah. Oct. 22.-The
Democratic State Convention met this
morning in pursuance of q special call
issued by the State Committee for the
purpose OF deciding on some plan of ac-
ton in the matter of the interference of
the Mormon Church in the political af-
fairs of the Territory.
The immediate cause of this extraordi-
nary meeting was the action of the
Presidents, Joseph Smith and George @.
Cannon OF the Mormon Church. who at
d meeting of The priesthood recently, cen-
sured two members OF the church, Il. II.
Roberts and Moses thatcher, for accept
ing nominations for Congress and the
United States Senate on the Democratic
ticket without asking permission of the
church authorities.
The convention was composed of ma
iority of Mormons. but they, as well as
the Gentle members, were loud and al
most savage in their denuncia.ion of the
action Of Cannon and Smith in the priest
hood meeting.
The first business was to appoint COM
mittee to draw up resolutions and an ad-
dress This committee has been at work
all day. and will present the result of
their deliberations To the committee.
A considerable mum Der OF the mem bers
favored withdrawing the Democratic
ticket altogether and organizing an anti
Statehood party. At > o'clock an ad-
lournment WAS taken till O'Clock.
The address which was presented by
the committee tonight was a very
lengthy one. 1t reviews the history of
the Democratic party in Utah. recites the
many alleged acts OF interference in po-
ltical affairs by the Mormon Church,
and bitterly denounces it therefor; de-
clares for the absolute enforcement of
church and State for all time. and favors
going before the people on that great
issue.
AS soon as the address was read the
radical element, which favored abandon
ing the campaign and turning the fight
into one against Statehood, made itself
heard. Motions to that effect were made,
and amidst intense excitement stormy
dicussiou followed.
The appearance of B. III. Roberts was
the signal for q tumultuous demonstra-
ton. lie is their candidate for Congress,
and holds high position In the church.
He is one Of the men called TO task by the
priesthood. Naturally his position in the
matter was of the greatest importance,
and he soon defined it. lie indorsed the
