I hxro nsver had a doubt at lo ths triumph of truth, right and liberty In Utah In lbalf of ths long-opt retard Mormon people. From the day when I first walked Main tlreet, lu Halt I.ake, In January 1M9, unabls to mo any difference between "Mormon" and "Uentlle," I have known and aald that, whatever may havebeea In Ihe ait, the atatrmeiiU contloually iub-llshrd iub-llshrd lu His I'.ut representing the Mormon ople xa Ignorant and un" clcsnrebela against decency xnd free government, aa the enemies of education educa-tion and irogieea, are fairs and milk-lout an J can only I ket alive toraoms tein.li lairpuae.
