CONGRESSMAN ROBERTS.
Rev. Tiff Advocates His Expulsion
From the Lower House.

NEW YORK, April 3-The Rev. DR..
Thomas c. Tiff of Salt Lake addressed
the Methodist preachers weekly meet
ing in this city to-day on The Present
Situation in Utah"
DR.. Tiff has been the Superintendent
of the Methodist Mission in Utah for
twenty-five years. He is making his
present trip as the Chairman of a
committee representing the Evangel-
ical churches of Utah, to prevent the
admission to the next House of Repre-
sentatives of Brigham H Roberts. In
the course of his address DR. Tiff said
IF Brigham H. Roberts is permitted
to sit in Congress it will be interpreted
in every Mormon hamlet as the fulfill
ment of Brigham Young's prophecy,
and also as Matchmaking polygamy
The Mormcns will reduble their ener-
gies. Already they may be said to
hold the balance of power in Idah9
and Wyoming, and they are very strong
in Nevada, Arizona and in Southwest
Colorado. The other day the wife of a
Senator from a State adjoining Utah,
herself Methodist, was asked to- use
her influence on his crusade She de-
cided that she could do nothing. That
shows the Mormon influence in poll
tics.
I'VE shall ask that Congress shall ex-
pei Roberts. We first petitioned that
he be- not received, but after comforting
