Show I JUDGE ZANE 1 Delivers a Noble Speech in I Salt Lake, 1 I And Sails In After the liberal Party for Mistrusting the Mormon People In Their Present Move. Special to Morning Dispatch: Salt Lake City, July 8. The Republicans Re-publicans met in convention here today to-day and nominated candidates for the August election. Frank Kimball was nominated for county collector, B. W. Ashton, county superintendent of schools; J. R. Miller and Leonard G. Hardy as county selectmen. Judge Zane was present, and, after a storm of enthusiasm had subsided, sai.i, among other things: '-'Hie people's party and the liberal party of this territory" have been organized with respect to leligion. It is a bad thing to have political parties par-ties in any country organized with respect re-spect to religious faith and worship. Since the mormons have abandoned polvgamy and the people's party lias disbanded, there is nothing for a third party to do but to pursue them on account ac-count of their religious beliefs. Their conduct as the conduct of the members of any church, may be defined as crime and punished, if injurious to societv. I But their beliefs cannot I e so defined, prohibited and punished. In abandoning abandon-ing polygamy and in diss living the people's peo-ple's party the mormons done ri;Jit. ; And they deserve cred t for it, not censure cen-sure and abuse. In so do ng I give them credit for patriotic and go d motives. I went as far as the law would allow in suppressing polygamy; but I dare not invade the right" of con-scitnee. con-scitnee. Xoeaithiy power lias a light to penetrate the human bosom and eradicate I roni the soul of men its religious re-ligious beliefs. If timt work can be done it must be performed by a power that is higher than anything human. If any man in his worship does not act injurious to society, by what authority may you or I, or all of us. stand it -tween him and his God? If we may pursue one man for his thoughts anil belief - we may another. An individual may control his conduct, but lie be-I. be-I. eves what he can. The human int 1-Iceland 1-Iceland conscience must be left fiee. j If we may s-.ppress one church liecau.se 1 of the beliefs and the modes of worship of its members, We may another, and j whose religion will be spared? The constitution of the United States declares de-clares that c ingress shall make 1:0 law respecting the establishment of religion jorpiohibit the free exercise thereof. This is a cardinal principle of our system sys-tem of government, both national and j state. That being so, why organize political parties with respect to religious religi-ous beliels or worship? Whenever government gov-ernment attempts to proscribe men on account of their beliefs before they have cropped out into human actions they attempt that which belongs to a pow er above us. We must believe as ' we can I may not believe as my friend ; who sits here, but he may be as honest j as I am. We cannot believe hist what 1 we want to, and to punish a man because be-cause he does not believe just as we do is tyranny and oppression. (Great applause). ap-plause).
