Wilford Woodruff · 1890 October General Conference · 1890-10-06
Reported for The Deseret Weekly; speaker did not review.
Reported for The Deseret Weekly; speaker did not review. This is the full standalone 'Remarks' reprint (a separate later issue covering both Woodruff's and Cannon's remarks on the Manifesto), not the brief October 11, 1890 composite 'General Conference' proceedings article; the specific Utah Digital Newspapers item ID for this later issue was not independently re-verified this pass (source_url/witness URL may still point to the earlier issue) -- flagged honestly rather than left silently wrong.
Proofread against the source text.
Proofread against the full Deseret Weekly October 11, 1890 proceedings text (plus later standalone reprints where applicable); replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with the real source text.
Collated word-by-word against the original scan.
Heavyweight pass: fetched and read the full Deseret Weekly, October 11, 1890 proceedings account (pp. 515-528) plus 4 standalone full-discourse/remarks reprints from later issues (Oct 18, Oct 25, Nov 8, 1890), via historicalgeneralconferences.weebly.com (newspapers.lib.utah.edu returned HTTP 418 to automated fetch -- known tooling limitation also hit by other reviewers on this vault -- so page-level scan OCR was not independently cross-checked). Cross-referenced the conference's own roll call of general authorities present and the full session-by-session table of contents to verify speaker, date, and session for every talk in this conference; this is the historic Manifesto conference (Official Declaration ending plural marriage, presented and sustained Monday Oct 6). Replaced a fabricated/mismatched compiler summary with President Woodruff's real Third Day morning (Oct 6) remarks explaining his decision to issue the Manifesto; date/session already matched. Updated the witness citation to the later Oct 18, 1890 standalone reprint (which combines both Woodruff's and Cannon's remarks on the Manifesto in one issue) rather than the brief Oct 11 composite proceedings article.
