THE TWELETIL WARD Republicans hekl a ratification meetlng last cvening in Owsley's Iall, corner of Madison and Robey streets, Tho attendanco was Inrge, and the greatest cnthuslasin and interest was manitested In the specches made, snd the speakers were applauded to the echo. C. C, Kohlsaat, the President of the Twellth Ward Club, stated thut the meeting had been called for the purpose of ratifying the nomina- tions made at the lato City Couvention, aud, if the genticmen would pardon hilm for the Hberly, hie would eall upon a gentleman to speak whom ho knew had engagements elsewhere, nnd, as they were nbout to ratify the nominations by speeches, he would ask County Treasurer McCrea to address the meeting. Mr. McCrea took the floor, and sald it was well known that he was a Republican, Before they entered in conventlon he had one cholee for the Magoralty,—hls tricnd, Ald. Rawlelgh, utid when thut gentleman withdrew, and up to the time of the Conventlon, e hnd adhered to Mr, Henth, e would say that e wns too good o Republienn to have any preferences of his own after the Ropublican Conventlon. He would work for the ticket ns heartlly ns he ever dld for any in his life,” It hod been suld that e would vote for another tieket, and he desired to correct any impression that had zone abroad to that ¢ffect, The Demo- | crats were not the men to rule this country. ‘I'here were good elements it all the other par- ties, and they must be nttended to. ITe be- Ieved this was a Itepubllcan city, snd nobody wished the ticket sucecss moro” than himself, They might rely upon his efforts to do all that he could, The spealker woa heartily applauded whien ho concluded his remarks. Qity-Attorney ‘Tuthill was_loudly called for nud responded cloquently. Ho urged them to work for the success of the Republican ticket and partys ‘They had an object In yiew, ‘und that " was the wellare of the conntry. ‘The Democratic party always tried to carry'its points by fraud and viclence, [fe had served fn the army with his frieud Col.

Col. R. W. Rlcaby, candidate for City At- torney, mado & strong specch, in lis usual clo- quent style, 1le showed the necessity of noml- nating good men, who belonged o samu party to which they were responsible. He spoke in complimentary terms of the graceful conduct of bia late opponent, Richard 8. Tuthill, in the Republiean City Conventlon, saying ho was the first mnn to shake bands with him and con- ‘iHitatate il on' his” gdecors; and "ifomising Uim bis hearty support. Tho spealter closed with n strong appeal to his llstencrs to per- petuate Republican rule, sid waos enthusins- tically applauded when he finishea hls remarks., Col LeGrana W.

In behalf of tho gentleman (Mr. Everett), ho would say that ho was u nefehbor of his and agood citizen, who had the futerests of the ward at heart. ‘The Aldertnanpromised his full support, nnd was hundsomely upplauded for the gencrous man- ner In which he had acted.

Tor Lectnrs on ¢ In amil Out of Utah,» Mrs. Ann Eliza Young, one of the numerous widows of the late Mormon apostie, prophet, priest, and King, Brigham Young, dellyered o lecture before a falr-sized and cultured audience ot the Wabash Avenuc Methodist Church last evenlige, A group of holt a dozen Mormon leaders was represented by enerayings upon the stage. A seloction was sung by the cholr of the church, . Promptly ot 8 o'clock ane of the leaders of the: church Introduced the epeaker to the nudience, and fmmediately there arose before the people n comely woman, o trifle over 80, nttred in n° shnple and modest toilet of black sllk aud velvet, Bhe took fier station by the sido of _the Bible-rest, folded lier hands before hery and cominenced her teets urcon “In and Out of Utnl.™ She inade no westures during her discourse, resorted to no stage offocts, and essayed no cluquence; vet it Is " seldom that on audlence in - this city haos gone awav with such an impression upon thelr minds as was vroduced by the sfin- ple, carnest woris of cotreaty which escaped from tier lips, Many thoes during the lecture were hundkerchiefs raised to the eyes of the ladics, and maony coughs were heard, which wera anly stifiers of emotion, She spoke In an easy, rapld mauner, and with little hesitation, HNer speaking has improved sluce she flrat enter- ed the lecture ficld, and she has the pecullar facuity of enlisting the sympnthy of all who sit before her. She commenced with nn apolory for speaking upon a personal subject, and referring to mat- ters which were necessarily paintul not only to her but to her hearers. Iowever, they wero vivid before hier, ond the memory of the dark dayvs she bad spent in miscry could never be effnced. Her only motive In harrowing her own soul and ‘the hearts of those wlio Ilstened to her with o rectal of her wrongs was that an interest mleht be awnkened in the. minda of the people of the States In the cause which she had espoused, for to them she looked for the salva- tlon of hier sisters, who were now in bonduze, and submitting to n slavery worse than death, prompted by the lust, and vanity, and greed of man. Ier parents wero born in New York. Her father joined thie Mormons at the age of 23, He emigrated to Nouvoo, I, Iler mother wasn vative of Kirkland, O., where sho was hersel? born, 8le remembered her mother a8 her truest and best friend, from whom she never recelved anything but love and kindness. She was born Sept. 13, 184, which would make her 84 yenrs of ago lnst Septembier. Having settled her fdentity, Mrs. Young pro- ceeded to zive a history of the mauner In which she entered the Mormon Church, and gave o description of the eeremonies attending the ad- vent of au new convert, 8he esild it was o sort of dramatie procceding, comblning a portion of Serlpture with the ceremonies of Maosonrs and other Orders, with grips, pass- words, and genuflexions, which she was tokd were gopled from the Masons. An oathas dark and startling a8 human {dgenulty. could devise was required, and the penalty of breaking it was the most horrlble 'death that could be jmagined. And yet bundreds of women were de- Iuded {ntothe belief thatyin following the fnstruc- tlons of these monster wdu n Utah, the wilt of God was buing obuyed, und they bowed their necks o the yoke with the fuith that they were carrying out” a Diviuc mandate, which required that they should be bumtiled and removed from all foy nnd peace of minl[n this e, in order to meet with the roward bereafter which was pronised them. The seaker. iwas marteld at the szoof 1910 a Mormon, sud, sithough Blic wus lis only wife, she lived In constant) fear and dread lest he should take anofblr to his heart and nome, At length Vler husband erow brutal, nud abused her Bufl ber chlldren to such an extent that sha fearell for thelr lives, und by the assistance of lier faly und fricuds slio was taken home by her pgrents, Two years later sho ovtained o dlyoreo {Fogm her husband, by the ald of Brighamn Young Efll QGeorge Q.

As this re- quest amounfed virtually to o command, she could do scorcely less thyqu to coply, On the way home he plied legwith questions, o asled lier If she had rpeelved any proposals of marriage sluce her dypree, Stio replied thut sho had. He wished know i shc had re- gurded any of them wilh favor, aiul she an- swered in the negative, lo then counseled her never to marry azain for Jove, but advised her to marry sonie good brpther of the ehureh, to whom sfis could leok for counsel and good words. Mrs. Youne antlelpated ler story at this polnt by saying thit the only counsel sho ever reeelyed from him;wos to practice the most rigld economy, Ay ‘I'he noxt day_her father told her that Brig- ham Yeuue had proposy) to ldm to make her his wife, nnd hind communded hini to use nll his influcnee to have her agfopt, with the Intina- tion that 4f he did ot he was _liable to becut off from the Church, s which meant, In the Jangnage which she had,gften heard sione the Mormuns, being ‘et olt back of the cars.” ‘The wm\L'cr sald she would not o throueh the nurrative deseribing her feelings of repugunnce and despair ‘ot the thought of u life of polveamy, \Yl“l all that the word 1mplied, nor would ehe detnin lier learers by au account of the feclings of duty, inchnn- tion, religious tralning wnd bellct, ele, which prompted her in ber setion,~but suitles §t to gay, that she flually consented to warry the praphet. 8he was married to Bricham Young Awprii 7, 1803, in what was called the Endowment Houge,” [lober C.

'l‘hcn ahe was racked with the feellng that her falth waa not strong enough, and she” con- cluded to_be baptized anow.

Three persona, lier father, a Irfend, and hersell, hastliy entered a close carrlage, nml drove away clan- destinely. Never {n her lifa could she forget the terrors of that lonely night. Bho kuew that the sands of the highivays all around were dyed with the biood of those who had attenipted to escape from Mormnouism, nnd as the wind soughed through the dismal spaces, nud the lvose rocks came tumbling{down the mount~ uln sides, it was not diflicult to Imaglue that the avenging agents of Brigham Young and the Mormon Church were upon” them to Arrest or destroy, And where was she golng?
