There was some dissent from the Mormons earlier. Quite the hubbub.

Well, it was the Utah delegation that wanted some rules passed, and the chair wouldn't put it too a vote. Might not have all been Mormon.

That said, the Republican Party of old (when they were a protectionist party as well) was anti-Mormon, so maybe it's old wounds getting reopened

"Resolved, That it is the duty of Congress to enact such laws as shall promptly and effectually suppress the system of polygamy within our Territories; and divorce the political from the ecclesiastical power of the so-called Mormon church; and that the laws so enacted should be rigidly enforced by the civil authorities, if possible, and by the military, if need be."

In 1884 prostitution was legal, so I can see why they took that stand on the issue of polygamy, it would have reduced the number of prostitutes.
