THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.


for the rules of deliberative bodies
It was a complete triumph for the law-abiding
members of the democratic party and rout for those
members that undertook to commit the party to open
violation of the constitution of the in the inter
est of the poygamous indulgences of the Mormon
church.
The bolt of the Mormons and Jack Mormons was
not an unlocked for event After their campaign of
disorder and Misrepresentation, almost anything
could have been expected of them, for the hierarchy
had become desperate over the certain intention of
the people of Idaho to declare against further in
reference in their affairs by the priestly quorum
that sits in Salt Lake City
Possibly these revolutionists may think better of
their intention to send unauthorized delegation to
Denver after the leaders have cooled off and consult
ed with their managers at Salt Lake. Any attempt
to seat such delegation in the national convention
will prove utter failure, for the democrats of the
nation are not consorting with the polygamists of
Idaho The only delegation that be recognized
is the regularly elected delegation.
That the bolt at Twin Falls was pre-arranged is
sustained by afidavits in the hands of the

In its record of the triumph of the right in the
councils of the democratic party of Idaho at Twin

participants in the proceedings of the other party,
but hackers Of the intention to cancerous
growth from the body polite bearers of banners
of defiance to Mormondom, supporters of the
movement for the eradication of poygamy and the
destruction of priest1y government in Idaho.
They devote themselves to the cause openly and
willingly declaring their purpose to give the state an
American government, ant-Mormon legislature,
even though it becomes necessary for them to cast
their votes for democrats.
The Scimtar does not need to remind the people
of Idaho that its best citizens in their conflict against
the debasing influence that has made their state a
reproach upon the tongue of decency have been
posed to the operation of the worst passions that
could be aroused through appeal by virtue for
lief from the espionage of vice.
The enemy has been compelled to expose its hid
eous front All the Vaccinations of the soulless hi
erarchy that sits enthroned at Salt Lake City have
been made visible through the shameless efforts of
its agents here in Idaho. They have operated in
plain sight having been smoked from their holes and
made to come into the open. What they have done
has been disgraceful enough. But that they have
