THE GENUINE MOKMONS.
When Evarts was secretary of state
a circular letter was sent nil fotoign
governments asking that the euiml-
gratlou of Mormons to the United
States bo prevented , as they came to
this country to practice a crime
agalns Its laws. Tno "reorganized
church of Jesus Christ of the latter
day saints , " however , do not practice
polygamy. They claim that the cir
cular letter of Evarts works injury
and Injustice to their church. This
body claims to have between 20,000
and 30,000 communicants , and have
tholr central organization at Lunoni ,
Iowa. Most of these Mormons
are in this country , but they have
largo memberships in Europe. To-day
elders Joseph Smith , "eon of the
founder nf the Mormon Church , " and
Z H. Garloy , a committee ou behalf
of the re-organized ohnrob , waited
upon the secretary of state and skod
that the EvarUi letter bo modifies so
aa to distinguish between themselves
and the polygamous branch of the
church. They presented a memorial
In which it la stated that polygamy
was uo part of the faith of primitive
latter-day saints and Is no part of the
taith of to-day , but h a loathsome
practice indulged .in only by an off
shoot from the trno Mormon church ,
and is properly branded by Evarts as
a crime.
