the joint vote of the assembly sa now provided in the bill and givel rise to the much vexed an d long disputed question under see tion I 1 seven of the orginia act mr cloge opened the discussion in a ion and violent speech in which aate r citing various rulings upon the question of what constituted an officer in law lie said in effect this legible ture has stood here for twenty scars in defiance of the very law calling it into existence and in defiance of every decision of the courts upon the buos quos tion 11 lie asked would it not be well in view of threatened political annihilation for this assembly to call halt and place itself in harmony with the organic law and the fifty millions of people who constitute these united states thurman in replying showed clearly that the gent lemans law and logio were both in error and that all such officers as these provided for in the reform school hill did not come within the provisions of section seven of the organic act in relation to the wild cloge which thurman denominated political cantor cords this effect the gentless gent lems n from utah said that it would zot do pa arty to say unto the other come mathin the law dwle that party

the appeal to place ourselves in harmony with the country by a concession or surrender of this right to the governor richards said in the estimation of the gentleman from salt lagrand the party which he represents utah can only place herself in harmony with the country I 1 at large by surrendering to tile exec titine the entire government of the territory this is what they are clamoring for and in conuel tion with it their own party rule instead of the rule by the people the at large does not demand such a surrender of popular rights congress does not ask it and no where do the free
