last 10 Denver just about as long az
the proverblal SNOWFALL In the in.
fernal region.
A representative OF The Recorder
was present at the convention, talked
with the delegates from all parts OF
the state; and there was no hesitaucy
In saying, In fact was generally
understood that the Boise gang OF
lawyers we're In the pay OF the Nor
mon hierarchy and received from 25
10 ~ thousand dollars for their at
tempt TO sell out and disrupt the
democratic party OF the state. In
conversation with both democrats
and GENTLE republicans In the Nor.
mon counties and the counties ada
cent thereto the general expression
OF opinion was that the bolt would
strengthen the anti Mormon fight.
Republicans are now with us who a
few weeks ago considered the Nor
mon light merely as political sub.
terfuge.
In one OF the Mormon counties OF the
southeast the writer spent day and
MADE a special effort to ascertain for
himself II the statement that the
GENTLE republicans were with the
Dubois faction Of the party was true.
We met many Of the leading republi-
cans OF the city, and we would take
our oath before any court in the land
that we did not lind but one republi-
can but who came out and stat.
ed that he was In the fight TO elimi-
nate the Mormon hlerarchlal control.
We have IL on good authority that
this gentleman was with the Dubois
faction OF the democratic party, but
owing to the fact that he was holding
a federal position did not dare To
co'ne out and say so openly.
In the Mormon counties 1t Is pre-
dicted that the bolt may lose the
democratic party 800 votes, but will
gain the anti.mormon ticket from
i've to ten thousand GENTLE republi-
can votes In the Mormonconnties. 10

The Gentiles, regardless OF party, are
making earnest pleas to their party
colleagues In the northern and central
parts OF the state To come out and
help them destroy this unholy al. |
lance between the Salt Lake
hierarchy and the republican machine |

To the Gentiles of the Mormon
'ountics the Mormon question Is a
'erious one. To the people OF the
Northern part OF the state the cues.
Ion Is one largely Of sentiment. The
iorth has no conception Of what Nor.
non domination means to the Gen.

lie, In the Mormon counties, to as

means his political and financial ruin. |
As an illustration, we will mention
republican newspaper, 10 that sec.

orrupt republican machine. This
