ANYTHING TOR VOTES.

In his speech on the Mills Tariff bill, Congressman Owe a said: ‘I am in favor of a revision of the tariff. The whole schedule from the first article to the last, ought to be intelligently and practically reconsidered, and article by article, revised and yeadopted. I advocated this procedure in 1884, and again in 1886, and I propose t ? vote at this session of Congress for some proper method of tariff reform.

The territorial Democratic convention recently held in Salt Lake City, made a point of effectually sitting down on the Mormons. Many of the counties sent entire Mormon delegations, but the G j nheld the majority and assumed control of the body, excluding forty-two regularly chosen Mormon delegates, on the ground that men who had wor .ed with the Mormons could not be called Democrats.

The Democratic party in every instance proves to be the only true natty of reform.
