Show THE OFFICIAL SCRAMBLE the scramble for office on the part ot some ex federal officeholders is awakening a lively interest there has been considerable of an effort to have judge sandford Band ford remove dand judge zane reinstated as chief justice on saturday a number of members of the bar met in this city and made a protest to be forwarded to president harrison against the proposed plan this fact became known and as a result the associated press agent in this city sent the following to washington SALT LAKE march 24 A caucus of mormon lawyers and their confreres contreres con freres was held yesterday to protest against the appointment of charles S zane for chief justice of utah under chief J ustice sandford the chiefs of the mormon church cannon burton smith and others came in received mere nominal sentences and quittances quit for the past this agreeable state of things would be broken up tip on the installment of zane which gentiles of utah axe are unanimously asking at the hands of president harrison 11 now the beauty of the thing is that lawyers who are I 1 mormons cormons Mor mons had nothing at all to do with the movement which was conducted by non cormons mormons Mor mons some of whom have a long record as bitter opponents of the Mor cormons mormons mons moreover the leaders of the opposition to judge zane are staunch republicans so that instead of the gentiles of utah unanimously asking for the reappointment appointment re of the deposed chief justice they present the most determined ter mined opposition to that pro proceeding aeed in khen when the fact of what the associated press agent had done became 1 known it brought down a storm of wrath from most of the leading attorneys tor it is an infamous falsehood 11 1 exclaimed one of them when approached on the subject this morning not only are the gentiles not unanimous for him but the majority of the bar are against him we have counted noses and ascertained that fact weve had enough of him and he should have sense enough to keep out hes a republican of course but the republican lawyers are fighting hardest against him because the democratic dog has no placeda the ring how about permitting the agent to misrepresent you as you say he be has done queried the reporter ot of another prominent attorney oh we have fixed that was the reply that scoundrel has been lying all along about the mormons cormons Mor mons I 1 but he cant do it about us w without I 1 phout being exposed we have sent to win henry smith of the associated press a true statement of the case and if he bounced im mistaken in the kind of men the associated press want as correspondents res indents on dents I 1 think they havel have had enough of that fellow but the prejudice against the c mormons Mor mons began the reporter oh ob yes was the rejoinder q know what you would w suggest that anything can be said against the cormons mormons and the prejudice brej udice is isso so great that it ft will be believed but there is isa a difference in this case were not mormons cormons Mor mons further there has been an effort to settle this dispute and have an era of good feeling capital has been induced to come here enterprises have been inaugurated a new impetus has been given to business the railroads see this and they are launching out the D R Q G W is to be a broad gauge within a few months the utah central is to be consolidated with the utah northern which is to be broadened and thus secure a line through the territory from mccammon idaho down the cache valley to salt lake and on to almost the southern part of utah and then west to the coast salt lake will thus become the junction of all the big railroads now IN ow the gang represented by this fellow propose to stop this bemuse because the gentiles wont answer to his lash he wants to rule and if we wont let him do that he proposes to ruin us by inaugurating a new crusade against the cormons mormons Mor mens mons and thereby by frighten capital away he wants another reign of terror here and above all he wants to make the mor mons his slaves and enrich himself on their property your people have put his class unjust up just right and you want to keep your weather eye open with this expression of regard for the author of the dispatch and his associates the reporter turned to a federal official who said 11 they talk about mormon attorneys but there one there we know the assistance of the mormons cormons won help us why as to mormon attorneys those employed by the church sheeks rawlins support judge zane and democrats too what cihat is the cause of the opposition to judge sandford I 1 it is because they could not control him the other day one of those fellows came to him and wanted to make a bargain out of court it was about mormons cormons too the judge told him he would do no such thing he had not known mor mons as such in court and had aimed to act fairly to ali all further than that he would not go so there is the cause for the opposition to lm he will operate the court justly to the best of his ability wid od because he wont bend to the ring here and be controlled by them oem they dont want him all there is to te it several others were seen and expressed themselves similarly the ree reeling ing is getting pretty warm among e m aal d the mormons cormons Mor mons stand q quietly betly by and watch events as the wheels roll round |
