Journal Entry

April 20, 1882 ~ Thursday

20 [FIGURE] We received a telegram this Morning from G Q Cannon
saying that a vote was taken on his case and there was
123 vote cast against him & 79 for him & 90 did not vote as
there is 292 members of the House of Representatives & 202
voted the delegate seat from Utah is declaired vacant I
think the time has come when the Nation is getting ripened
in iniquity and is getting prepared to be cut off I think Br
Cannon will now come home
