maintain the ol 01 d tactics of ch r I 1 g that the mc amons have an immense lobby c oby here with an abundance of in money I 1 ei which is being freely spent the mae only cormons mormons here that I 1 have seen are mr came caine his secretary and mr john irvine a correspondent As a correspondent I 1 have for years heard about the vast sums of money which the mormons cormons spend to cef lefeat

two men state they would have a surprisingly sudden invitation to tell the exact nature of the knowledge and reveal some of the names conscious that they can say what they please and never be questioned othey keep on reiterate THAT PUTRID CHARGE when demerit dement a united states officer made allegations a man who for the time being was looked upon as truthful how soon he received a chance to explain the fact that mat these men keep on oa repeating the allegation ot of the use of money by mormons cormons and are never ch alleged shows clearly that everybody looks upon them as with a grievance aul and a grievance is anat damns most men litre here on the other band however the fact is notorious that tile the anti mormon lobby is spending a great deal of money who pays for the dinners they five for the I 1 liquors they drink arink and give to others i and the fine cigars that are smoked i while they perform the confidential enlightening trick does any person suppose they are paid for by the two Bs or come out of their allowance of 85 a month these men who pet get nothing well hardly why a man is here who makes no secret of the tact that he has received 1000 as a retainer for working lobbying is the ordinary term in behalf of the measures which these men urge on congress the charge of mormons cormons usina money comes with a good grace from this brace and when m connection with considered the more recent of hollisters Holh Hol listers efforts to ho bleed the members of the league for more the allegations that baskin and bennett work for nothing and that the mormons cormons Mor mons use ho much money when no one has seen a dollar is the most charmingly refreshing thing I 1 have heard for some time I 1 know menhert men here who perpetually j DAMN THE

believed to be sincere in his desire to see the bill passed in view of this thia fact mr tuckers laek lack of interest shown by absenting himself when he should be carrying out the orders of his committee is to say the least strange it might be saying too much to declare that mr tucker was last year whipped into aiding aidina the anti mormons cormons and whipped just as an attempt is now being made to whip him aga again but it does look like it notwithstanding the fact that he has gone backon back on the record of a long and honorable life and he worked into the hands ol of a howling and conscienceless ring and its paid lobby because he be does not devote his every moment to their wishes they again turn on him not only through their own organ in salt lake but also with such other methods as are open to their influence gratitude well it should not be named I 1 have already told you that mr T acker had obtained an indefinite LEAVE OF ABSENCE it being understood that he be yas was going to attend the trial of a very ina important t case if his constituents desired any explanation for his absence he doubtless could and would give them une one amply saW satisfactory factory but his bis constituents do not noi require it the two intellectual tel colossi from utah however are not satisfied and he must f forsooth receive the lash mr tucker from the treatment he himself has received should have some inkling of the kind bind of people into whose hands he is working and as they are not satis tied fled unless he gives himself to anem body and soul so also will they never be satisfied until they have utah on the hip and can bleed her people till they are slatted glutted mr tucker should be proud roud of his mentors in utah matters r I 1 may add that he be lighted in
