If he were not s'ii";;en;'y tis.iwa through the uieilau of the Omaha ! lLrdd. an I by other nie-ms, we would j say his initials were O. J. U..i:itc-r j collector of internal revenue for Utah, but that is unnecessary. In a late letter to the Chicago Tribune Tri-bune he rushes to the defence of Governor Gov-ernor Shaffer again-t a mild a'tack by 1 Sam Bowles, of the Springfield lie- )t!,7irif.,i, to show how the wires are j laid .and everything ready to spring ! the trap and drop the Mormons into I an infinitude of chaos and the same stygian oblivion that Hollister will j reai h by and by himself. But if be 1 had sense enough he would let Governor Gov-ernor Shaffer be, who needs no defence from any such quarter, and who, while here, manifested the straightforwardness straight-forwardness of honesty a virtue wo cannot accord to some other Federal officers of the Territory, Mr. Hollister in tluded. This ntuehtl of small calibre, this nice young man who ea. ns his I correspondence-money easy if he is paid by the column, then gets ofl a rehash of various things, not even original with the writers whom he so liheraily uses, and blunderingly mixes ; up matters with an air of being posted, that makes bis attempt as ridiculous as it is contemptible. But over all and through all he prophecies fre-ipaently fre-ipaently and strongly the speedy downfall down-fall of Mormonism. Well, well I Boor Hollister I He will feel bad some ofthsse days, when he finds his vi-ions of future prominence, at Mormon Mor-mon expense, as evanescent ai his dreams of furious and fiery raids on their persons and property are baseless though wicked. One thing he tells, which we presume pre-sume may bo accepted, as he is undoubtedly un-doubtedly inside "the ring," and which we had better stale in his own words. lie says: ''The reform movement move-ment has received two notable acces sions la ely -Amasa M. Lyman and T. B. II. Stenhousc;" on which he gets into a jubilant ccstacy. Now, if Mr. Hollister would only step inside also, what a nice quorum there would be! Again, poor Hollister! He had better make another effort aud then give it up in despair. He will never amount to much, and it seems waste of time to bother with him; but he f cents to like it, for his littleness can appreciate nothing higher than just such empty and ephemeral notoriety. We would have noticed his points in the letter referred to; but nftpv carefully leading it through, failed to find any. |
