Show nOBERl 8 CASE AGAIN. Tho bigoted opponents of Hon. II. H Hoburts uro couliiiultu their light agalnit that gentleman's seat n Con yrcss and nppiirently havo oven resorted re-sorted to forgery to Inlluencn public soiillmont. Tho New York World Iiuh puhllahud an nllniMl Interview w 'r Mr. Uolicrls yvlileli uiuii'uliledly Is a gross llhel on Hint gentleman In piril-eiilur piril-eiilur mid the Mormon eliureh in gun-i'1'al, gun-i'1'al, The light is being iiuulo largely by clergynion, who ought to haven lutlo charily for nieinbets of other do: nomltiallotii, but nppnreutly have uone. Ueiiomluntions who have nuui-Jjureil nuui-Jjureil In their ranks and honorcil such men ns Mabry pf Salt Lake and Marvin, Mar-vin, Into of Moicur, and others too numerous to iiicutlnu,;-ihoiih he rather chary In tliolr criticism of ipcmber of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Latter-day Saints, l'ho Salt Trlbuuo says editorially: Tho languagonf many ts most bitter; many thinks his election was a disgrace dis-grace to the nation, some call 'W a-nalloual a-nalloual marrhigo law; It Is clear that' the nation Is Htlrred to Its depths on the subject. It is not strange, either. Any one at all familiar with tho sentiment senti-ment of tho Eastern States ought to havo scon In advancy what wotifd follow fol-low with the election of a man Involved as Hoburts Is. And iho full fury of the storm hn(j not vol beuu reached; Indeed, it has but Just begun. Tho Trlbuno should remombqr that It Is nearly a year beroro Mr. Koborts will tako Ids seat In Congross, and In that time tlio storm will havo time to both rise and fall. On sober reflection the pcoplo will agree that as Kobcrts was fairly elected, vnstho chalco of a vast majority of tho people of Utah, ho is untitled to t seat as the representative representa-tive vl Hint people. Tho Trlbuno says tho election of Hobetts Is "a blow aimed at tho home." It is nothing of tho kind. It is tho yolco of a freo people, peo-ple, who nro guaranteed religious lib-jprty, lib-jprty, TI)o Trlbuno gays flirt hor; If It culminates In hostile legislation aimed directly at Utah, tho majority of this State will havo no one to thank except themselves. It will bo hard to mako tho pcoplo bellovo that. If such a result should occur tho people of Utah will Justly bcllcvo that tho fault lies with thoso persons and newspapers who nro so eager to gain a partisan advantage that they will not listen to tho voice ot the people. Nobody contends but what Hoborts was fairly elected, nobody contends con-tends but what he will tako his seat. If ho by any complication p,f vlicuui-Btancits vlicuui-Btancits Is cxpeiVod, It will bo a most gross Injustice to a free people. |
