A Strong Protest.

EDITOR THE News: The Times in
its last issue makes mention of "a
nice monthly statement filed in the
county auditors Office" by county
treasurer Shaw. / wish it understood
that Mr.. Lewis in the first place has
not seen the said report filed in my
Office. Secondly, l have never en-
ployed a spokesman and don't pro-
pose to have the public understand
that give Mr.. Lewis my confidence
in official matters. Thirdly, the said
report is a matter that concerns the
commissioners first OF all, outside of
myself, and is not matter OF public
concern until officially made so.
Fourthly, l have good reason for disa-
greeting with the Times editor rs to
the said statement being "nice" or
right and hereafter the said Times
editor is asked to keep his editorial
mouth shut until the proper time to
open it and to not pilfer the news
properly in my Office by an indirect
and unknown means to me, and thus
compromise my public opinion and
official acts. Filthy, l emphatically
denounce the part Mr.. Lewis is play
ing around the courthouse and my
opinion of man who, as he is doing,
takes up the gauntlet for man who
is disloyal to his party, is that he
stoops below the dign ty of a defeated
candidate even, and like" Kid Mccoy"
claims the championship on a figure
of speech, even if he be pigmy.
Sixth'y, AS parting shot, l wish to
call Mr.. Lewis's attention to the fact
that while he was yet county auditor
and Mr.. Shaw was rustling bondsmen,
he made the statement to me that he
was sorry there wasn't better man
elected county treasurer and gener.
ally expressed himself as unsatisfied
with the election made. / find our
ex-couLty treasurer's work in good
condition and we'll done.
GEO. A. KENNEDY, Co. Auditor.

SPEAKER 7. B. Reed, among MANY

SPEAKER 7. B. Reed, among many
other members of Congress, has pre-
sented memorials against the admis-
sion Of Brigham H. Roberts as rep
from the State of Utah.
Many of these memorials are simply
protests, the general wording being
about the same; but the Congrega-
tional ministers OF Maine and New
Hampshire, known as the "Pastaqua
Association" whose memorial was
presented by Speaker Reed, embodied
some strong sentiments in new
way. The memorial reads: awe re-
gard the attempt to place Brigham H.
Roberts in the 56th congress as fla
grant betrayal OF the confidence re-
posed in Utah by our government
when statehood was granted her. We
look upon the act as one of unblush-
ing indecency, perjury and treason.
We therefore place this memorial in
your hands and ask your wise service
in representing us in our protest
against conduct so unworthy the APP
proval of law abiding and self respect
ing communities.
