125 years ago today - Nov 14, 1887

[Apostle Heber J. Grant Diary] Met John T. Caine, he had just [returned] from Washington where he had gone to present to the President [of the United States] the Utah State Constitution. President Cleveland informed brother Caine that our people had done all that any one could reasonble [sic] ask in adopting the State Constitution punishing polygamy. I am glad the President feels as he does as it gives me additional faith that we shalt be successful in our efforts for Statehood.
