of thinking that the tele hoar hoan amendment or any uny other piece of special legislation 11 vacates all the offices in the territory 31 3 1 even the governor who is very anxious to fill them all by his bis own dictum does not pretend that the jaw extends EO ao far aa as that the american hae has j mistaken the tenor of the law and the nature of j the present dispute between the to people and the executive of utah the law creates no vacancies whatever there is not anything in it that can be reasonably interpreted to convey convoy such a meaning or intention it merely provides that aa as bigot be caused by the failure ol 01 the august election shall be filled ailed by appointment by the governor only a portion of the local officers were to be filled at the august election it Is clear 3 then that those officers for which successors were not to be chosen at that election are not vacant and therefore are not to be filled by gubernatorial appointment the only question ehne that j annaina

over ita its passage was to prevent anarchy supposed osea ogea to be bg bons cons consequent quent on the failure of the cleef election ton but it was admitted that if the existing offices held over there would be no vacancies and consequently no 99 anarchy and therefore no need of the legislation it was a lack of knowledge of the local statutes and end of the existing situation which occasioned the hasty passage of the enactment in dispute there was waa no necessity for it and after its passage there was waa no need for the broad and unwarranted construction st placed upon it by the governor but bat who will wonder at any step that official will take in hostility to a people whose ballots he trampled upon at the bhe last delegate election and against whom according tot to the ll 11 e doctrine of the murdered gar garfield ia e ld he committed the capital crime of treason at this very time he has from his high position to take the stump with political sch schemers eniero and spend
