In addition. $73.000 of fines and forfeitures have been collected. and more than one hundred and fifty criminal prosecutions are still pending. But this is not all. In 1887 another act on this subject was passed. an act for the purpose of forfeiting the franchise of the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints and the Perpetual Immigration Fund Company. In less than three months after the passage of that act a suit was instituted and a receiver appointed. $800.000 is now in the hands of the receiver. and final decree will be made before the 1st day of January next. Such is the contrast between the administration of the two parties in reference to the enibrcement of these laws against polygamy. and I call upon my Republican friends to deny the record if they can.
