Salt Lakp ClTr , Tcb J. [ Special Correspondence -
respondenco of Inn Ukb J Mormoalsm is
sitting down to Its last meal of polygamy
Judge /ano , In holding that the registrars
all of whom ire favonvblo to to the liberal
part } are empaworcd to excrcisoJudicial
poweis ' and hear objections to names on the
registry ana nt their sweet will strlko off
names , is uch a blow to the Mormon cause
as sets thom to walling and gnashing of
tcoth And what Is more grinding still the
finding of the registrars is final , from which
there is no appeal
Never before did an Ignltlous measure
como back to plague Its makers moro surely
and with such direful results to their pot
cause
The registrar Hwwas passed b } a Mormon
legislature ] , in ISO7 and signed by an unprin-
plod governor Iho Judicial powers ol tlio
registrars were nt that time Invested In the
senior Justlco of the pcaco nud as their
functionaries J were all Mormons there was
implicit confidence that the oxtiaordlnary
powers ' . vested in thom would keep Utah
Mormons j to the cracic of doom
llut : ttio federal government stepped In and
precipitated doomsda } by giving to the Utah
tomnussloti the right to appoint the regis
prars , thus ballltng the wllv set umes of the
cuppcts of the prlusts
The liberals nro daily growing moro confl
-
dent , while the Mormons are discouraged
and J disheartened
, Mr O W. Powers Is the chairman of the
liberal . part } Ho was sent here In l&hl by
President [ Cleveland to sit on the Judicial
bench , which includes Ogdou , and is such a
crank J on organization as the present cuior
gencv { dom mds Ho has formulated an or-
| ganizntioo , which in perfection of dot-ill and
J availability for campaign purposes hns sel
dom if over been equalled 1 or three
months the city has been canvassed by
blocks ' ever } two weeks , so that ever } voter
and his preferences is known and noted
down j : Hundreds ot meetings have boon
held in the various precincts nndllOUOO
pamphlets distributed The marching forces
number-750 divided into companies of fifty
men nud uniformed throughout in as good
style as political cluns , in cities ten times the
sbo of this one
National politics are eliminated from the
campaign ( , the issue centering on the liboial
aud j mormon idea of government The liber
als charge gross mismanagement and point
to the unpaved streets lack of severs and
absence of public buildings , wbile the mor
mons , who are known as the peoples party ,
setup the claim of conservatism and low
tuxes The spirit of the west is with the
liberals and their cause , as it promises not
only public improvements in keeping with
the growth of the city but places the raor
mon hoirarchy Under the heel of the gentiles
and sounds the death knell of polgum }
National politics are not referred to in tbo
speeches nor in the press The
friends of tbo new order of things
bury their differences nnd unite ,
heart nnd hand in tbo common cause It was
some days after tbo convention before tha
political complexion of tbo candidates was
known It turns out that two of thom , in
eluding the major , are republicans , nnd three
of the others democials John M Voung ,
the candidate for marshal , is a nephew of
JJrigham Young , and is as 10 } al nnd big
hearted patriot as could spring from tbo
loins of Undo bam llo has deliberately
charged tils uncle with robbing htm of tbo
funas ho earned to go to school and choiting
him out of an education There are a great
many of the Mormon } oung mon thinking in
tbo way Mr Young talks , and many silent
ballots are expected to record tbe protest of
} 0Ung Utah ugaitiBt bringing up n race in Ig
norance that it may the moro readily submit
to bo tithed that , the titular dignitaries
of polygamy tnuy feast and fatten , and roll
their round bellies in opulence
The people s party is raising a. great cry
aealnst the boomers and adventurers that
muko up a creditable portion of the liberal
party , and predict an awful career of ex
travugancoana waste followed by financial
distress and for the sake of consistency
should have added "tamino "
Ei < ch party charges tbe other with colon
izlng voters , and if the truth could be made
known It is not inhuman to suppose that
both parties might plead guilty _ Lbo Mor
mons got 'be start , and are credited with
bringing in 1,000 men , moro or less to work
on the sewers , and to offset this the liberal
partv , it is openly assorted , sent out a
special train on the Denver & Klo Grande
to register , richt and loft those persons inclined
clinod to make bait Lake a visit
in the near future However , about these
stories If Mormon virtue excels that of the
gentile , there has come to pass a state of
things devoutly to bo wished and ono that
will bo groatl } tn the credit of the LaUer
D y bnlnts when they turn up In their
graves to answer for some of the thingsdono
in tbo flesh
Mormons are beginning to ba civilized on
tbo American plan , nnd the sooner they
break up tbo partnership botwecn dlviuo
right and human dopruvitv in the managing
of municipal uITairs , the better it will bo for
nil ranmrni.il
1 look for no outbreak or not on election
du } Though there is a fearful stress of fcol
ing , there is plenty of prudent pudding m the
hoods of the Mormon leaders to see lhat
there is nothing to gain , but much to lose , by
any kind of disturbance It will only subject
thom to oven moro rigorous laws thaa an }
yet enacted , and force a moro vigorous exo-
cutton of the laws already on tbo statute
books towards tbo forfeiture of church prop
erty k
while the police are in tbe hands of the
Mormons the gentllos are having scores of
deputy United States marshals sworn in.anu
on a commanding position above the city are
the gaitling guns of Fort Douglass , with *
enough blue coats back of them to make the
wind vvhlstlo moro freaky tunes than Mor
mons ever heard from the great organ in the
tabernacle It is these touching strains ,
played by the federal government ,
that U bringing the Mormon
in harmony with American institutions
The Mormons know no moro of holding con
ventions than Digger Indians and It is quito
amusing to see them imitate the gentiles
The method of making nominations and
holding conventions that has prevailed
among this pcoplo for the last forty jears is
illustrated by the election ot a inomber of
congress in 1632. A lobbylnst named J M
Uernishel rotnrnod from Washington and
ouo Sunday afternoon Hrigham Young told
his pcoplo at tbo tabernacle that Ueralsliol
had done them good sen ice und ho wanted
him sent book Without an } moro ado ho
put tbo question thusly t All those in favor
of sending Uoruisnol buck , raise } our
hands I" Ten thousand hands went up Into
the air 'Contrar } , no I" Not a slnglo hand
was uplifted and nrigham Young
announced that Mr Uernishel would
represent them in congress for two
years more And ha went There
is little originality in Mormon campaigning
und their imitation of out Ilts for tbo parad
ing clubs is ridiculously fuuuy These unique
paraphernalia wade of canton fiaunol and
blue paper muslin while good for fair
weather , did not hold Intact foe futiguu
dress The first parade in point of numbers ,
however , knocked the Jocks off the early ef
forts of the Gentiles , as oa tbo first call the
Mormons had 2,400 men and boys in line und
this in a drenching rain The cheap colors
began to run aud before the parade was well
undeny ay t ho whole pro cession wttastroaked
at a bengal tiger clear down to the parch

march In much the same condition as the
hosts of Pharoah out ot the Ited sea the }

The registry inoludos T.WT names , of
