EXCLUSION OF ROBERTS.

BY a vote Of 27S to 20 the credentials
borne by the congressman-eIect from
this state were rejected by the lower
house Of congress. yesterday and ad-
mittance was denied him.
This was not because of any preju-
dice against b. II. Roberts. As eminent
leaders of the opposition have frequent
Iy explained, it was not a personal
matter. 1t was an action taken by
many members with sincere regret, so
far as Mr.. Roberts himself is con-
cerued. for he has made scores Of
friends in Washington by reason Of his
courage and ability.
Then, it may be asked. why was he
excluded?
Because of fear that his success
would revive the practice of polygamy
i'm Utah. That alarm was sounded by
the local Republican organ almost
daily for a year or more, until other
newspapers took it up and aroused the
sertarian sentiment of the country.
Is. II. Roberts was excluded because
the people Of the United States had
been told repeatedly for the past fff-
teen months that his election was an
insolent and deliberate defiance Of the
nation. Who originated that idea?
B. II. Roberts was excluded because
