Emergency Committee Appointed to Go to Washington It was an oid time war dance and Boss Powers was in his glory After spending weeks in working up the scheme of holding I Liberal territorial convention in this city the boss had the supreme pleasure of seeing about onehalf of the number of delegates allotted to the various counties assemble in Walkers pavilion pa-vilion at high noon yesterday Only three or four countieshad their full A representation and half a dozen were not represented at all 1 The Boss saw that there was going to non f no-n aching void in tho pavilion so he sent I three or four bands out on the streets to hustle up a crowd to fill it This was not I a howling success cither and during the afternoon session of the aggregation nearly all of the benches were vacant But the Boss with his little fur capwas there So were Me Too Lipman Rip Van Winkle Baskin Lily of the Valley Allen I Sir Oracle Varian Jakey Greenwald Bill Showell and other representatives of th lower of American manhood in Utah tower 12 oclock Boss Powers doffed his little fur cap and mounted the platform Ranrnh1 rah shouted the crowd They evidently expected a speech but they didnt get it for after sizing up the house the boss evidently came to the conclusion con-clusion that THK AUDIENCE WASNT WORTH IT and he simply called the convention to order Then he asked Dr Iliff to offer a prayer and that holy politician shook his long locks and thanked the Almighty for the enactments which had restored purity to the homes and secured hero a govern roern ment equal t any under the sun Me Too Lippman read the call and the boss condescended to make a few remarks in which he said that the convention had met to take steps to prevent the proposed ruinous legislation for Utah Then he

reassembling in the afternoon the report of the committee on credentials wa read and it was followed by a roar which could have been heard in Ogden CertaIn American gentleman had not been named in the report and they arose a one man and insisted on their names being inserted Chairman Kiesel banged away on the aesk with a tin cup but the American gentlemen gentle-men would not pay any attention to him and for a time it looked as though tho police po-lice would have to be called in to preserve order Finally the chairman got hot in the collar and at his suggestion the Salt Lake delegation which had done the most kick lag was ordered to retire and bring in a report of its own owntR MORE RIOTING Then an American gentleman from one 9f the back counties arose and registered a kick because bis name had been omitted nd a dozea more followed his example Sit down take your seats jelled the Chairman I wont do i I appeal to the house I will be heard sir I am a delegate yelled the American gentleman Finally Oscar Wilde Glenn caught the ear of the chair but he could not be heard in the uproar Then E P Ferry who had been sent to grass half a dozen times came out of his I corner once more and cautiously sparred I for an opening He succeeded in finding i it at last and sent up a resolution giving the committee on resolutions further time to report Then Judge Hoge suggested that the gentleman from Ogden vacate in favor of Mr Varian and he also took occasion to inform In-form the chair that his name was Hoge not Hog The chair called on Sir Oracle Varian to come to the stand and after introducing Sir Oracle as the great Liboral the ex mayor remarked that he was glad to be absolved ab-solved from the task and retired SIlt ORACLE VARIAN o course felt it incumbent upon him to make a speech and said LI am persuaded that upon assuming this responsible re-sponsible duty 1 is proper that I should submit sub-mit certain propositions The Liberal or American party is of steady growth in these mountains It began years ago and was born us a protest of American hearts a protest against those things which prevailed hero to the shame and humiliation of American manhood man-hood and womanhood Ihey united against this common enemy and for years were confronted con-fronted by the Peoples party For years our party made its way under many difficulties tQ rind triumph and victory Shoulder to shoulder they marched alcng to fight the common com-mon foe Early last spring ve were found lao ing ine om enemy < m me eve ol battle wo found the Peoples party undivided but In the morning we found that they had disappeared by different paths to assault our flanks cud we found them offlcerecl by men who had just before worn our uniform On the one side were the Democrats on the other the Republicans They made specious promise but the Liberals guided by the lamp or experience expe-rience would not turn aside from the path tna had been marked out by them They said to 1 thcie on the other side that they were willing i forgive but they had no desire to forget Applause They asked those people to Indicate cate by their acts that they no longer though as they once did When that was done the Liberals would meet them as brothers Those who had deserted the Liberal party had not much t say in explanation but they had a great deal to say in the way of accusation They had filled the air with asinine alliteration and out Heroded Herod in calumny He wished that this convention would arise equal to tho occasion and state its position They might safely leave the deserters to their own rcflec tions and he would recommend that they study the lifo of their great American prototype Benedict Arnold Applause I Then they should thank God that ho had fash loned them hollow in order that they might their principles swallow11 There were some things to be said frankly and clearly Above nil things ho thought the con ventlon should not petition but should demand their rights as freemen call attention to the fact that for years they had been unable to get the ear of the country on the great wrongs C they wero enduring here These things shoUld be carried back again t those who were sitting In Judgment Those who had made It possible I for the free emigration of the people to this territory ter-ritory and for those people to live her when they came thought it was about time for the statesmen to begin to consider them He would like to know what Senator Faulkner knew about this people and where he got his information infor-mation maton A Voice The tithing house Laughter and applause Continuing the speaker said that if any Senator had made a compact t secure the proposed legislation it was time for Americans Ameri-cans to protest Before the government of Utah be placed in the hands of a religious gious party the government should at least give the Americans a hearing Remember McKenn Maxwell and Connor who died with all their armor on With the memory of these meD crowding upon them he asked them to renew their fealty t the flag g ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS When the whoops and yells had subsided he called for the report of the committee on permanent organization and order of business which was as follows Your committee begs leave to report as follows fol-lows We recommend for permanent chairman J or the convention tho Hon Charles S Varian or Salt

that now exist whether from oversight death resignatcm or desertion JACOB S BoiiEiiAN Chairman The report was adopted RANK ROT The enthusiasm had commenced to wane and fevera members wero anxiously in quiring what time the trains would leave Judge Powers came forward and proceeded to stir the animals up with one of his usual flowery speeches This had the desired effect ef-fect and Kiesel of Ogden moved that they stay whether trains ran or stopped until we haf disposed of den balkner und Teller pills uud the briesthood Some chump from Summit followed in the same strain and rather disconcerted the bosses by remarking that he didnt cure a rap for the resolutions They could go on discussing just the same Sir Oracle informed the aforesaid chump that they could do nothing of the kind because cause there was nothing to discuss Then Colonel Val took a hand and sent up resolution to the effect that they remain re-main in convention until Saturday at 10 p m and that all Liberals should bo allowed to declare themselves on the floor in order that the almighty powor of the Lib als might besbown the arms of the leaders trengthenedand the schemes of the painted paint-ed harlot defeated This rot was tabled indefinitely and after a squabble the convention adjourned until 730 unt73 In the Eveninc The audience was sufficiently large to comfortably fill the pavilion and the best part of the programme a concert by the I two brass bands from Ogden and Park City came first It was nearly S oclock when Sir Oracle Varian called the meeting to order and invited in-vited Rip Van Winkle Baskin to the stand Rip rubbed his eyes stroked his ancient beard and said It is impossible for me to express the gratitude tude I feel over this assemblage For more than twenty years we have been In this fight and whenever the clouds were darkest they never failed to do something for tho partv The Gentiles of ths territory knew what statehood meant and when that cry was sounded the ranks of the Liberals commenced to close UD Then the Democrats saw they had made a mistake and commenced to crawfish The delegate in Congress announced that he was not asking for statehood But a short time after there came from his hand the Faulkner bill and that explained ex-plained everything to Rips entire satisfaction On this occasion he wished tc thank the opposition oppo-sition for the Teller and Faulkner bills because be-cause it brought home to the Liberal party the though that its mission was not yet fulfilled The occasion or the day was grave and they must act determinedly to meet it Were they prepared to permit this thing to be dono He believed tho opposition would be disappointed in the result of this movement All the Liberals Lib-erals had to do was to enlighten the people of the east as to the real danger and the outrage would never bo consummated The other side would send a strong lobby to Washington backed by a tithing fund and he the Great RID would be called a fanatic A few days ago the opposition was very confident and It therefore behooved the American patriots hero to send true men on to Washington Ho believed that the victory was won and Utah would be saved Then in five or ten years he hoped to see Utah a state All they had to do was to stand by their guas They had a great work to do both for themselves and their children THE RESOLUTIONS E P Ferry then announced that the committee on resolutions was ready to report re-port They had passed upon every letter and resolution submitted and accepted but one which was from the labor delegation Mr Perry then proceeded to read the report re-port of the committee which was as follows fol-lows Your petitioners a great convention representing repre-senting the people or nearly every county or Utah territory respectfully and most earnestly implore the lamauers of this nation to defeat two measures now pending before you known respectively as the FaulknerCaine Home Rule bill for Utah and the Teller bill providtne for statehood for Utah and for such legisiatioi bee to present the following statement of facit Utah was first settled by a people th t had been driven beyond the borer of civilization because they had insisted upon being a law to themselves and claimed a divine right to ea tablisb a government ot their own which should be a perfect tbeocrac wherein one man should be as king and all others as subjects Upon their corainsr they were embittered to wards and estranged from the government of the United States they taught their children that bitterness for forty years thov so absolutely abso-lutely h1d the fealty of their people to their own government that thousands and tens or thousands of them grew to manhood and womanhood without the slightest knowledge or the government the United States or its lawsOn laws-On coming here declared moreover they that polygamy was an ordinance of God and that upon practic ng it depended the highest exaltation exalta-tion of mortals when they should put on immortality immor-tality talty Twenty years ago some brave and true men within the organization at mighty risks social financial and personal set up the standard of revolt against the tyranny of this Institution others joined i As true men from other states came here they waived their fealty t the national political parties with which they had befcra tided to combat the common danger which they found threatening their country and their homes In Utah The record of the party thus created is one of the brightest in American history At least laws were passed to destroy polygamy and through the courage of the United State courts backed by the Liberal party those law have began to be enforced This added to the bitterness which already prevailed and made of Utah a place of unrest contention and hate At last under the pressure of the execution of those laws progress began to be made Hundreds were convicted under them and with Increasing population Summit county Weber county ana bait Lake county containing contain-ing half the population of the territory and paying 93 per cent of the taxes of the territory were wrested from church control and put In I accord with American institutions in spirIt and in truth Under the pressure the head of the theocracy in September 1890 declared that ho hau ro ceiveQ permision from God to suspend the practice of polygamy This was ratified at the great annual Mormon conference held in October Octo-ber 1890 and again in October 1891 Early in the spring ol 18J1 by a spontaneous movement the party that had always been known as the church or Peoples party was dissolved dis-solved throughout the counties cities and hamlets of the territory Republican and Demo erotic clubs weie formed and the people at one joined these clubs At the same time a trIfling percentage of the other party known as the Liberals withdrew from the organization they had 0 long adhered to and went off on nations party lines Out of this small percentage backed by the hosts who a year ago were Intent upon building build-ing up a kingdom and becoming a distinct people these bills which we pray Congress to destroy were evolved This convention notes the changing cond tons and waiving any doubt as to the since fly of the acts of the musses of those who are seeking the passage of the one or the other Ml protests against their passage on the ground First That the great majorty of the Mormon people have but just begun to cultivate a knowledge of American institutions or an ar fcction forthem SecondBecause the peonle are not like foreigners coming hero from abroad but are peopte who havo been brought up as alien within the republic and the obedient follower of a power which from their cradles they have been taught believe is divine which powe still teaches that daily revelations from God I are a part of ever true taints belief And this is too a people who are still largely in majority ma-jority in Utah The convention further submits that the territory ter-ritory is prosperous that the rights of all men are carefully guarded that there is no need or the proposed legislation and that a fair timE for education should be given before the gOY ernment surrenders Its sovereign and merciful authority over onotwentioth part of the area or the republic And moreover be It Resolved That the Liberal party of Utah bas no king dictator czar junta directory advisory ad-visory board or boss I has but one ruler the will of the people of Utah properly expressed ex-pressed In regular and lawful way I I roccg nizes no organ save the independent press of Utah and authorizes none but its regularly elected or delegated representatives to voice its utterances Resolved That the Liberal party reaffirms its fealty to the principles upon which 1 was founded welcomes exultingly the progress that has been made through its efforts it rejoices re-joices over the changing conditions which are going on in Utah looks forward hopefully to cbs time when all the people of the territory can unite in a petition statehood Resolved That as the Liberal early ii and always has been a party ot law as it has never demanded aught except obedience to the law it rejoices now in the ii creasing peace order and prosperity that has come through that obedience obedi-ence Resolved That with malice toward none with charity for all the Liberal party is in full touch with nil the best interests of Utah and her peoplo and aims at nothing less noble than to make sure the utmost prosperity happiness I and peace of all the inhabitants of this terr toryResolved I Resolved That we commend the action of the neton legislative assembly tf Utah now in session I in passing by almost unanimous vote its act I for the punishment of polygamy and kindrnd crimes and further respectfully ask the Congress Con-gress of the United States to adopt an amendment amend-ment to the constitution prohibiting the proc tie of polygamy anywhere within the boundaries bound-aries of the republic Resolved That a committee composed of men representing the varied important latin tries of Utah be sent to Washington to present the memorial and resolutions adopted by this contention and to protest before the com Ittees on territories in both brauches of Congress Con-gress against the passage of both the Faulkner Caine and Teller bills Note Your committee beg further report that it has considered the request of the Fed crated Trades and feels it a duty to report that while in full sympathy With their de mand for an eighthour law for payment of hon est wages in coin and for all statutory restrlc tons which will tend to increase the safety and improve the condition of workingmen this con eutlon was called for a specific purpose and that the

sprang to their feet and moved that the report be adopted Mr Perry asked that before the report be adopted any delegate who wished to be heard be given an opportunity The gentleman from Summit then proceeded to rend an address which he said had been approved by Judge Goodwin after all that was objectionable hud been expunged The address was to the effect that Utah would never sneak around to the back door to ask for admission but would wait until she could go in at the front gates JUDGE POWERS arose and stated that but little remained for him to say He understood the sentiments of the committee com-mittee because they were the sentiments or all Americans They were sentiments that would one day make of Utah a most beautiful tate The elforts of the socalled Republicans and Democrats could only lead to darkness This great change on the part of the majority vas only a change in name by which tho leaders of the church hoped to obtain statehood and then build up here the kingdom of God on earth with no power to call them down When statehood came Utah must not enter through the back door She must wall in through the open gates of the nation with her crown of gold and silver flash lag on htr head his Home Kulu bill was a fraud from the beginning It was sprung without with-out being submitted to the people and was undemocratic I would cost 85000 to pay the salaries of the judges and other ofllcers pro ided for in this bill and would turn the juuic ary over to those who were working the scheme The people of Utah today were enjoying en-joying as good rule as existed anywhere in tho country Ihe government had sent her men who had forced this people in spite of themselves them-selves to bow down before the American flag The matter should be hnndlea without g ores These people believed that the voice ot God was the voice of the people The Lit rals believed that the voice of the people was the voice of Uod and they bolltveJ too in the equality of all men before the law With such an Issue there could be no peace here until the rght trumphed American instltu ieiis and Asiatic institutions could not exist side by side One must go down Following on the heels of this Home ilule bill there was introduced troduced in the territorial legislature the other day a bill which provided that the ex ircssioa of the people here should betaken taken away from them What a foolish th ns it would be to lift their hands just as they had this institution down He doubted not that the Liberals would pie er statehood to that other substitute and then tight i out like men When statehod was given to Utah she was cut loose from her moorings to ths government and then broils and contentions would follow that would stunt the growth of the tenitory u hen Lorenzo bnow tola Governor West that this people could never yield the Liberals felt some respect for them Hut when they tried to burak under the tent headed by Liberal deerters they were no better than ward politicians The Liberal party bal no kng ned no boss I followed no man and he had no fear for the future no matter what trouble might came It could not be that here In the farest part of the country there could be slavery The Liberals to work what the were seeking out rovoution ary fathers workeu out A party must bo built upon the rock of principle or it would ba washed away by the waves of public opinion REBELLION RAMPANT When Judge Powers finished Mr Ferry tried to speak but Mr Varian refused to recognize him and Mr Ferry white with passion rushed to the front nnd said The chairman refuses to recognize our chairman of the committeo on resolutions I Mr Varian 1 will not recognize you until every other man is heard for the reason that you have spoken once I Mr Ferry I appeal from the decision of the chair Varian stood firm and ordered Ferry to take his seat which the gentleman from Summit did with very bad grace Mr Snyder arose and moved that the resolution in regard t labor be stricken out and that there be submitted a silly effusion in which frequent reference was made to the Hag American homes mothers tears polygamy and so on Its silliness wade the audiencoaugb and the author wisely declined to allow the reporters re-porters to copy it after it had been voted down Mr Sutherland of Provo said the in the opinion of the wprkingtaen committee com-mittee had the right of representation and that they should be recognized Tue reference refer-ence to workingmen in the report was not intended as a urcsolution but simply a note to the report It was simrly complimentary mentary to that class and had nothing to do I with the report I Lily of the Valley Allen said ho hoped the resolutions would not be changed in anj particular The committee had labored all the afternoon aud had met the views of the convention To alter the report would be to weaken i A delegate from Summit thought that the labor resolution had no more place in the report than ono in reference ta hardware merchants Fred Shields of Ogden announced that ho was a mossback and a carpet bagger Therefore he hoped that the report wouldnt be chan edevan for the sake olgramrnatical construction This individual theu gave a dissertation ou the mutability of all things human and followed it up with an autobiography of his own career The gentleman then gave a dramatic recital from Richolicsu pounded tho reporters table and aroused suspicion in the minds of the scribes that the gentleman from Weber sawsnakes Finally ho ambled so far into the fields of poesy that Sir Oracle Varian had to call him down und insist that he address himself to the question Mr Shields wasnt anywhere near through but the audience called time upon him and he finally sat down discern fitodOne One Corcoran injected a few remarks and Ferry of Summit NEARLY PRECIPITATED A REVOLT by making I point of order As no one elso wished to speak the chair said he would recognize Ferry In wlmtj capacity i asked Ferry 1 refuse to bandy words with you sir said Varian You can address the convention con-vention or take your seat Mr Then said Ferry snatching badge from his breast I return to you this badge of your hospitality This scene created a great sensation in the house bnt the delegates didnt know bow to take it1 and Ferry stalked to his seat in sullen silence W I Snyder the secretary once more urged the conyention to strike out all reference ref-erence to labor as that was a side issue Attorney John Anderson took the same view of the situation and he managed to waste considerable Rood ime In saying so Judge Baskin said the resolution vas not 0 resolution but a mere appendage I it didnt do any good it wouldnt do any harm One Corcoran then arose and kindly consented con-sented to withdraw his opposition but was Informed by the chair that he had nothing to do with it i I I Then a vote was taken on the motion to I strike out the note or appendage but 1 as this left the chair in doubt tellers were appointed to poll the vote Tho motion to strike out was lost and moton the question of adoption then came up TIE REV ILIFF was then called for and he said His sympathy had been with the Liberal arty from the day it furled its banner end two years ago be thought the time had come for him to tmd participate in the struggle Since then he had been somewhat decided in his statements and w s willing hat i should bo known where he stood Wnen the proposition to divide on party lines was made ho reached the conclusion that such a step would be disastrous He was In the convention with Z profound conviction that Utah was not in a position to have statehood As I citizen it was right and his duty to announce nounce his view end he hurled back to the on who made the statement about preachers profligates and prostitutes as not only absolutely abso-lutely false but degrading to the man who uttered ut-tered It tchcera The resolutions clearly pointed out the stages through which the territory terri-tory had patted and the dangers which threatened threat-ened At er maUmgthe statement they should maltng rest their case in the great heart of the American can people who would sustain them Then they could wait until the proper time came for them to unite in asking fo statehood They should hand down a state which was free from his church or any otner church HOW yo 3 John Witbeck of Nephi who dissented from the resolutions then took the floor He had fought here with the party and had spent his money here He wanted to say that the priesthood had lost its grip hers und could never get it back again The convention tried to cry the speaker down but ho insisted on being heard and said I think the time for division on na tional party lines has come A terrific tumult followed and the gentleman gen-tleman from ISophi would not have been heard again had not E P Ferry jumped upon the hour and demanded that Mr Wit beck be given the right of an American to be heard We have bosses said Mr Witbeck and they are no good Cries Take off that badge Mr Witbenk came here to represent Juab Cries Yes as a Liberal Mr Varian Did you say you favored division on party lines lnes Mr Witbeck am addressing myself to the resolutions Mr Varian Do you favor a division on party lines Mr Witbeck ignoring the question I opposed two of these resolutions Mr Varian Didnt you say you favored division on party lines I Mr Witbeck No sir I said a tremendous tre-mendous hubbub here ensued and what Jell Witbeck said or intended to say was lost ostMr Mr Varian thumped the table vigorously with his cane and shouted Take your seat sir Mr WitbeckThank you sir This outbreak ended here JUDGE UOKBMAK took the stand He made I rambling disconnected dis-connected talk tie evident purpose of which was to show that Home Rule wasnt Home Rule The old gentleman rambled along in an aimless sort of way until finally the patience of the audience gave out and cries of Question Question 1 ran through the null The old gentleman kept right on tuliting until ho couldnt think of auything else to say and then he quit I wno is run LIAR i W G Van Home said the delegation from Salt Lake stood as a unit against this statehood business The tily thing he objected to in the resolutions was the statement that condiiions were hanging in Utah It wasnt so The change was oniy in form Way this only two years

time t do it Although Mr Varimi had intimated that be wouid heurMr Ferry he cut him off by recognizing Judge Hoge who moved tue ravious uuestion It was put the resolutions were adopted and Mr Ferry
