I 1 I 1 sek see we can easily cagily see that was the result of a deliberate conspiracy it may look humorous to see governor murray 1 ay of utah telegraphing to the governor of tennessee urging the latter to hunt tip up the murderers governor murray almurray knows well that this massacre ca can be traced to salt lake city and in that cl city acan can be found the real reaf murderers for two weeks before the tragedy a regular scheme was laid to bring mormonism nisin to the f front rout as an issue inthe lathe in the campaign all mannerow manner manne of manufactured swi spi specials were going the rounds of the press one ohe time it was cleveland and the mormons cormons Mor mons another time it was murder and antt andio and 60 on finally a plot was laid by certain parties and antl their organ at salt lake to sweep every thing before them this was to write a serles series of articles to order in the murderous organ and have them copied thimas iwas ed by the eastern papers while th this was going on as an advertisement un an agent abent was to appear in church communities muni ties and solicit the nickles nickies and dimes of old maids to help the cause copies of the paper wore were to be distributed like sunday school janeas Isaf lets and a great sentiment was to be ci against mormonism Monnon ism wherever r mormon missionary was found to be making a little hett heat headway away copies of the paper and other sensational rubbish was tobe to be distributed stories were to regarding the character of the mormon Eld eid Elder eider erthen there at the time specials to be sent describing an assault on tin some female by a mormon in fact tact some specials of this kind were published in the eastern papers but the elder charged with the alleged assault happened to be in utah at the time As was said sald a gernes gennes les ies of arti artl articles cles cies were to be written in salt laherand lake Lak epand erand and quoted in eastern papers the chicago Tribu tribune ite did its work faithfully enough and published daily a legend leend from salt lake one day as wha what mormonism is another A licentious asiatic practice and SQ sa ou on some at f these articles described mormonism and nd the mormons cormons as being almost as bad as the kentuckians Kentuck ians mentioned by the coney island scribe another day dai it would be bean an article on the ilou hou john T caine calne for preaching a discourse to the people of utah A good deal Is said about what delegate caine calne ku knows aws ip fi utah and he is characterized as the verlest fraud in the church this kind of stuff went on until the massacre but not a word since about mormon is asro p to lve ive these conspirators their d due u e their teaching culminated in murder seeing that thai it did like simon erbit and his apprentices ap prentUs they did not know now what to torio do the salt lake gang got governor murray to telegraph condolence for mormon martyrs while the crowd here walked out and retired from its dirty work the trianne will suffer seriously by the he massaccie mass roas acie acle this is the result of a talla tulla villainous INous PRESS PRESS both rell reli religious lous ious and Be secular cular the honest IN mormon lormon must not grumble at being lied about and represented misrepresented when exen even exen even mrs mra blaine is covered with mire cati can utah feel aggrieved when kentucky is treated as she is the tact fact is this will break the republic it is even now on a shaky basis it maybe may be years before the great crisis arrives and on theother the other hand it may ma be only a matter ot of a few in months 0 rutn an attempted repetition of the 8 to 7 s business may hasten the crisis at all events wh whenever enover it does com
