local as well as federal and any officer that refused obedience to his royal behest was marked as the victim of a cabal against which it was political death and damnation to contend we happen to know that he subjugated the weak governor woods with a few frowns into doing things that woods from his own experience in oregon would have been glad to avoid the same thing was undertaken on the recently appointed governor axtell who had bad scarcely reached Salt sait Lake city before dwar a war was opened upon him from the mckean cabals that evidently led to a speedy and so far as mckean is concerned to a fatal and fortunate issue the telegrams containing the news of his removal plainly state the cause caum to be exactly this or to use the very words of the dis sateh satch patch the ahe falia
