The annual report of the Utah Corrrmi

This Commission, under authority of Con
gress, has general supervision of the elections
in the Territory, and is particularly entrust
ed with the enforcement of the " Edmund.
Tncker" Act in regard to polygamy. Aoting
under the power conferred, tha Commission
in it report says that It appointed on No
vember 3, 13$8, a canvassing board of five
reputuble citisens, three of whom were Gen
tiles and two of whom were Mormons. This
board made A return of the rotes cast for
delegates to Congress, and found that John
T. Caine, Mormon, had received 10,127 rotes,
R. N. Daskln, 3.4H4 and 8. R. Tburman 611.
Caine was therefore given A oerti Ileal ol
election to Congress.
With but one exception the report rates
there was no charge of fraud in the conduct
of the election. The Commission, the re

in apMiinting registers of elections, selected

Mormon element, always appointing ma
Jority of the Judges of election two out of
three from tbo Gentile class. In some

Touching the que-tion of polygamy tbt
rejMirt ssys: "Polygamy 1 not at the pre
cut time iqK'iily pructiced, excpt, perhaps,
in a few remote ami out of the way places,
but the non-Mormon element insists that
plural luarriiigo are solemnized clandes
tinely and practiced secretly in the larger
center and throughout the territory. I his
may or may not be true. This Commission
neither atlirms nor denies it in the absence
of positive evld. nee. Doubtless many mem
ber of the Mormon Church never have prao
ticcd and neither intend to practice polyga
my ind perhaps many of them per m do not
believe in the practice, but fiom the stand
point of their fuith and creed, they accept il
a a revelation from God. through thi
prophet, Seor, and revclutor, Joseph Smith,
ratified, confirmed, approved and practiced
by the great President, Rrigbam Young,
and that whoever desires to do so shouU
have the right to comply with this ordinance
of the church."
All laws forbidding the practice of polyga
my the Mormon pronounces unconstitu
tional. There are grounds, it is stated, for
belief that polygamy is still taught by th.
Chur h ns a saving ordiiiance.and that tbos
who practice it are assured of a higher ex
altation in heaveu turn those who content
themselves with one wife.
Extract are given from Mormon papers
bowing that they still openly advoeat
polygamy. That the teachings and practice
of polygamy have not been discontinued li
proven, then-port says, by the fact that slue
September 1,1. iss, there have been in the
territory of I'tah 357 convictions for bigamy,
udulury, lornicution and unlawful cohabi
tation. Most of th se conviction wore for
unlawful cohabitation, only two being for
bigamy. If plural marriages are now cele
brated, says tbo commission, it I done in th
secret chanibeis of the temple "If polyg
amy is practiced it Is with the secrecy with
which th buritlur truards his house-breaking
und tho thief his larcenies." Thoao who
ore convicted of olygamy regard themselves
und ure regarded by the Church as martyrs
und think it uo disgrace ut ull to be sent to
the penitentiary.
