| Show woods and the utah trouble tho the people of this country have recently heard the praises of governor george L woods of utah sounded from one end of the country to the other accompanied with a general and very bitter denunciation of the mormon people keople of course the citizen of oregon has shrugged his shoulders at this and has flattered himself with the conceit that he knows more about our george L woods than the average of his fellow citizens in the united states those high sounding phrases in which our george announces the wickedness of utah and proclaims reclaims the lofty patriotism of george S eorge are certainly calculated to impose upon the unsophisticated reader who has not read oregon regon history and who knows not george but the citizens of oregon arean ex this claas cla cia they know better for they we are glad to see that they are not entirely alone in this that others though not f favored with the light of oregon history have dropped on the woods character and have found the key by which much no doubt of the troubles of utah are explained tile the new york morla world is ono one or of these commenting upon woods recent utah message 0 that paper says As a rule when the governor 0 of f a territory declares it to be in a state of anarchy it is safe to conclude that the government of a 11 territory might at least be bettered for all that readers will hesitate to accept the picture drawn by mr woods the Gover governor of utah as a true delineation of the condition of that territory mr woods does not virtually declare utah to be in a state of anarchy but then mr woods is evid evidently emly ekly a person given to hasty speech even to hasty official speech the specific declarations he makes can hard bard hardly ay be as exaggerated ag as the general conclusion 13 he draws from them the general conclusion his readers will draw is that mr woods is not the liveliest man to maintain order in utah there is another remark to be made to which we invite the attention ot members of congress those gentlemen who have seon feon seon teen t fit to express express for many years a high degree of horror of polygamy and a determination to root out the custom from utah where it certainly prevails much more openly than at washington for instance this moral indignation may have been very soothing to the constituents of the honorable members Ith it has ashad had no perceptible result upon the inhabitants of utah mr woods has been doing similar buncombe in utah itself his failure is conspicuous and maddening even to himself whereas members of congress take their defeat very kindly the world has made a most c pai palpable hit 21 with a record of the woods wood administration in oregon it could scarcely have hit tile the mark nearer the centre mr woods is not the man to preside over any people much less a people possessed of discordant elements and peculiarly susceptible to the influence of fanaticism so far from being a man fit to govern a people predisposed to anarchy he is the very man best calculated to bring anarchy u upon pon the best disposed people while governor of ore oreon oregon on he plotted and accomplished d tile tiie the overthrow of the state legislature lie he convened a caucus of his party followers in the legislature and induced such a number to resign that tile the assembly was left without a quorum u orum c the principal object of t the 1 conspiracy was the defeat of the general appropriation bill by which means the plotters were enabled to use the unemployed funds of the state for two year yea and drive a lively trade in thet the states tty delare depreciated dated paper the world is rig right r in saying that mr woods is not the likeliest man mau to maintain order in utah nor is he the likeliest man to maintain order anywhere provided disorder is the better financial investment but it was not the consideration of fitness that moved president grant to appoint mr woodi to the utah governorship norwene nor were they considerations complimentary to woods or creditable to the president that led to such sucila a result the explanation of the ther matter is sim simple simpie e woods headed a delegation of N dead beats from this stat state and aud california who were bumming around washington and for want of better employment as the best inears of making themselves conspicuous made a raid upon the president for the purpose of indue in ing him to give attorney williams then a senator a in the cabinet woods as spokesman made himself so BO offensive the president that the latter snubbed and grossly insulted him having time to reflect upon the circumstance cum stance the president saw he had gone beyond justry justl bc grounds and had been guilty very great rudeness he felt that some reparation in de ustice justice to himself ww was due duo to the hu humiliated e 1 I woods the utah Governor governorship sli sll p was ast mst just then tilen vacant and J as is ustia usual in such cases the president was distracted by the importunities of rival livai aspirants the bestowal the office upon woods was at once a suitable apology to the latter and the final disposal of a perplexing question this is how mr woods became governor of utah he was appointed not because he be assessed a single qualification for f e office but because he was calab of
