Hooked to appear ill the defense of Cass Hite, w ho is charged w ith the murder of a human being in October last, he had scarce more than time to embrace his wife, deliver a few hasty charge to Newt Straup, and then started for the Rio Grande depot, where he caught the morning train for Prpvo. A representative of The Times had, in the meantime, seen the judge. The in-terview was upon the fate of the "homo rule" measure now before congress. "The advocates ot the bill," said Judge Powers, "are as much mistaken when they say its success is assured as were they in August last when they stated that by the vote of Zion they would show that the hour seven queens of one household to 'her' former loftiness. "Home rule is dead." "And the Anionics';" "They are Hooked for Home so soon as they can open the gates. Ken-tucky Smith is wailing for the wrath of Og-de- n to subside. Judge Judd is writing an explanation to submit to the Gardo house. Governor West well, the governor is think-ing about taking a rest from his arduous and engrossing labors. It's a peculiar state of affairs that the missionaries have struck." "And Mr. Allen?" "He did himself and the liberal party proud, lie made a tine impression on the committees lie addressed, notwithstanding the effort to cripple him with shot from ambush. They were not willing to discuss the bill on its merits they sought to un-dermine the men who were opposing it. They fought us in a most shameful manner, and we could have no more valuable logic in our behalf than the false logic they them-selves introduced. Mr. Allen is now ticketed for home, and his reception should be a cordial one." had arrived for a Division on Party Lines, that.the old tight waa a back number, that the liberal party had served its usefulness and that the war was now a thing of the. past. "I say on my judgment that Utah will se-cure neither home rule or statehood at the present time and congratulate myself that 1 have canvassed tin1 sentiments of both bodies in congress before arriving at this verdict." "It has been urged that the liberal repre-sentation convinced the committees of noth-ing unless it was that they were vampires, charlatans and iaotitebanks V" "In that event," replied Judge Powers spiritedly, "the enemy at least admitled that we were in possession of our faculties. won't discuss the fact that some other pa-rtiesthe record for imbecility that never will be outdone, for the reason that it would excuse their conduct before the disting-uished gentlemen before whom they ap-peared.

The issue was too seri-ous r that, and yet Kentucky Smith and ic J .fnd .Gobi delivered themselves of emu of it to last the committees for a lifetime. Kentucky Smith was painted for war carnage. He assailed everybody with-in the liberal party, and it was no fault of his that his list was not driven through the table." 'You heard of his reference to Judge Miner?" "They were infamous outrageous!" "And of the rumor that Judge Miner would ask for their verification uudor au ac-tio! for libel?" "That's the stuff! The committees at Washington take no stock in tho charges, but (hey agree with others that such charge! acsf st an honorable member of tho bench WOUTl impair his usefulness unless they wc i d contradicted. The attack was shauie-ful- . rind, while the committees themselves didn t dignify it with a serious thought, Utllels it was to manifest their disapproval, tho attention of The Attorney-Gener- al was called to it. Then, I understand, Ken-tucky Smith transmitted a most abject to Judge Miner, in which lie pro. nounccs Anuet, the Washington representa-tive of the Tribune, a liar of the first water.

How-ever, the stenographic reports are in his favor and to corroborate the correspondent, to show to the people of Utah just what the missionaries, iu their ranting appeals for home rule, resorted to. I have with me a sten-ographic report of what Kentucky Smith did say. They are not doctored or medi-cated reports, hut just as the language was delivered by the speakers in ambush. It is the report of tho addresses before they were corrected, and I shall keep it as au oracular curiosity. Kredcn's reply to the attack aud his description of Kentucky Smith's Voyage to Damascus was the occasion for consider-able merriment in the committee rooms and was the fatal blow to the Charges. Well, it was general attack on every man who was op losed to moriuocracy and I'm sur-prised 'nit Frank Dyer, and F. S. Richards didn t nil the string before they did.

Loin, Feb. 24. Seldom, if ever, has a more turbulent scene been witnessed at a great political gathering than the ouo pre-sented late yesterday afternoon in the big national industrial conference. For several anxious minutes the couventian seemed about to break to pieces in the tight. The committee on credentials caused all this trouble by seating the contesting or third party delegates from Georgia. As soon as their Humes were read, pandemonium broke loose. Moses of Georgia, an anti-thir- party man, made a vigorous objection, unless the con-testants would submit to the unit rule. In an instaut Post, one of the contesting men, was up. He w as here. he. said, as a delecato chosen by the slate alliance, while Moses was chosen by the executive committee. Nitieteen-twcntieth- s of the state alliance of Georgia were in favor of independent polit-ical action, and the small faction represented by tin' other wing was not deserving of con-sideration. Congressman Livingston, de-clared Post, hail himself declared in favor of selecting delegates all of one, opinion or the other, and then had chosen a set of men whose purpose it was, as it was Livingston' owo, to deliver the alliance bound hand and foot to the old democratic ring. Branch of Georgia also yelled at the top of his voice in the same vein. The uproar in-creased ; delegates were shaking their fiats in one another's faces, and the chairman's gavel had no more effect than a pin. Chairman Brown of the credentials com-mittee said that the committee had recog-nized the great zeal of the alliance of Georgia and found three men entitled to seats. This left two vacancies, and in the interest of harmony these had been filled by a selection from the opposing force. It was not a question of old political parties, but a question of peace. The confusion continued for fully live mftlRUi Fiuir,. miMabui ,.f OmmI mounted a Chair and repeated the charges against the Georgia executive committee. Moses tried to get at him, ami a free light teemed unavoidable, but tho convention, seeming suddenly to realize Hie disgrace of the affair, took an astonishing right about-fac- The report of the committee on ere. dentlala was adopted, with along wail from Georgia. The free coinage trouble was now pitched among the delegates by Wilson of Georiria offering a resolution that the convention pe-tition congress for the adoption of the pend-ing bill for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Livingston fought hard to havo this carried, but this time he was hampered, instead of helped by Kansas. Tracy of Oregon, apparently at the Instance of the Kansas men, near by, tacked on an amend-ment demanding the passage of tho bill. Thunderous protests were raised at this critical moment against tho consideration of resolutions outside the platform committee, aud the free silver mo-tion, With its bill, was in effect unceremoniously dumped upon the table. At the industrial conference today, the platform committee reported and the resolu-tions were presented and read. Without taking a vote on tho adoption of the plat-form, a recess of two hours was taken. Tho platform stales that the nation is on the verge of moral, political and material ruin; that corruption dominates the ballot box, legislatures, congress, aud touches even the ermine of the bench; tho newspapers were subsidized or muzzled, public opiuion was silenced, business prostrated, homes covered with mor. gages, labor impoverished and land and money concentrated in tho hands of capitalists. The workmen, it declares, wore denied the right of organization for self, protection. Imported pauperized labor beats down wages. Hireling standing armies, unrecognized by our laws, are established to shoot them down and they are rapidly degenerating to the European CO&ditiolU. National powel to creato money has been appropriated tfl enrich the bondholders. Silver has beeu de-monetized to add to the purchasing powel of gold, and the supply of currency is pur. posely abridged to fatten Usurers, bankrupt enterprise and enslave industry. The resolution declares the old political parties have allowed this to exist without au effort at restraint and therefore it asserts a new political organization, representing the political principles herein stated, is neces-sary. The declaration of principlesMs then made. A national currency is demanded that is safe, sound and flexible, iasiiod by the gen-eral government on full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and that without the use of banking corporations. Just aud equitable moans of circulatio 'at a tax uotj to exceed 2 per cent, is sot fo th in the plan of the farmers' alliance or some better system. It demands the Iree and unlimited coinage of silver; that the amount of the circulating me Hum be spei dily in 'leased to nol less than $r,o per capita; a gaduatcd income tax; that all national and state revenue be lim-ited to the necessary expense of the govern, inent. That postal savings banks be established by the government; that land should not be monopolized for speculative purposes and alien ownership of land should be prohib-ited. All lands now held by the railroads and other corporations in excess of their actual needs aud all lands now owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the govern-ment aud held for actual settlers only. The platform declares the goverument should own and operate the railroads, tele-graph aud telephone aud df uiandB that tho goverument Issue legal tender notes and pay the Uniou soldiers the difference between the price of the depreciated money in which ho was paid and gold.
