Show OX TO THE CiPITAU "A srno-so lobby of Utah Republican Republi-can politicians will arrive in Vt ash-ington ash-ington before the asscmb'inj of Congress, Con-gress, headed, it is said, by tho cx-Oorernor cx-Oorernor of Utah, for the purpose of ru-hlng through at the short session a bill disfranchising Mormons. It will lie a step toward the admission of Utah ai a Estate. There are now pending in Congress two bills providing for the disfranchisement of Mormons, one Introduced In-troduced In the House by btrublc, of Iowa, chairman of the cominiUcc on Territories, which commiiteo has the bill nndcr consideration, and one of similar nature in tho t-cnate, introduced intro-duced by Mr. Cullorn." The foregoing appears as a Washington Wash-ington dispatch to the Chicago Mail, doted November 21st. It will be remembered that it was announced byome of the "Liberal" speakers, during the Delegate campaign, that if Goodwin was not elected he wojk be sent to Washington by subscription subscrip-tion to lobbj against the "Mormons." "Mor-mons." This was used as a sott ol intimidation, with the hope that some of the people threat cneJ with disfranchisement would try to gain the friendship ot tho "Liberal" candidate by voting for him. It diJn't work wo-Mi - cent. It Is quite likely, however, that the '-strong lobby" will number num-ber among its members the defeated candidate. It is rumored that he is looked upon as rather a dead weight on tbe concern with which he bai-beenident!ficd,and bai-beenident!ficd,and if money enough can bo drawn out of "Liberal" dupes he will probably join the coble army of hired wire-pullers nnd have "a good time" at the capital. Wo do not believe, however, how-ever, that he will be any more zlc-cessful zlc-cessful at lobbying than he was on thu stump. |
