F. R. RICHARDS.
Hon. Jas. Sharp then introduced
F. S. Richards, Esq, who was re-
ceived with loud applause. The
speech Of the gentleman was mainly
legal and constitutional. He dealt
with the unconstitutional aspect of
the measures that had been passed
regarding Utah, and adverted freely
on the rights of everyone to test ali
laws which they might deem un-
constitutional or oppressive. The
address was not only thorough, log
ical and forcible, but it was clear.
concise and irrefutable. Mr.,
Richards at times INDUCED in eIo-
quent flights, which, clinching, as
did some well put point, which
brought down the house, The
speech was confined to this subject,
and was handled in mastery
manner.
DIR. BENEDICT.
The next address was made by
DR.. J. NJ. Benedict, and ne was re-
ceived with loud applause. have
simply a question or two to ask you.
Why are we here? Is this q matter
of no Importance? Have you not
come here for the purpose of show
ing to the people of the Territory
and of the United States that we
have right to choose our own del
egate and our own executive Off
GERS? We have been told that this
minority contains all the brains,
bones and sineWs in the Territory,
and that because they want it, we
should vote for Z. t. Van lille. This
modest demand simply means that
one man or woman in the Territory
has more brains than the other
thirteen. They say that they pay
one-third the taxes and have no rep
resentation. Well, where in the
United States do you get it? Are
you a democrat Then go to the
republicans with your whine and
see what the result will be. In the
States, they will give you if you are
in the minority, one election judge
in every three, and that is all, and
you don't expect anything else. 1t
does not matter if you pay all the
taxes i'll the States, and trey have
the votes, and are in the majority,
they will elect their man. And
we'll DO the same on the Tth of No
Yember. 1t is the genius of the
American government that the ma
jority rules, and they will rule. Utah
is practically a dependence of the
United States, and yet we are
obliged to take Oaths here, not only
that we are not thieN Is and murder
ers, but we are made to wear that we
Lave never broken any law. Why,
/ can go into any state, and, if | am
citizen, live there six months, 1
can vote without taking any oath
at all yet, in this mere dependence,
so much form has to be gone
through with, where there is gene
rally so much less at stake. / am a
democrat, and while l will say
nothing regarding commissioners, [
must declare that l am opposed to
returning boards, and whether it is
returning board in Louisiana, in
Utah, or in the District Of Columbia
1t was equally Objectionable.
JUDGE DUsENBERRY.
Judge w. n. Dusenberry was
next introduced by Mr.. Sharp, and
the Judge, like the rest, was re-
ceived with applause. He begun
by saying he had travelled with the
party which had visited eleven
counties in the interest of the PeO-
pies party in this campaign: l am,
tonight, as sick, physically, as the
Liberals will be sick mentally after
next Tuesday. In our travels,
wherever we have been we have
inquired of the audiences that at
tended sur rallies, whether they had
heard the Liberal platform read at
any of the meetings; and the am ~er
was invariably that the Liberal
speakers had never read it and
had not referred TO it. Now,
this is a day of enlightenment,
and if there is any thing that will
benefit the people in that platform
why do they not let you hear it;
why not give you the light and let
you Judge for yourselves, and ust
the intelligence God has given you
TIE Judge referred sarcaStically t.
the executive mansion and the In
ternal revenue Office. He waInel
the members of the party against
them and concluded by telling ;
funny story, as all the other speak
ers had done. The judge was labor
ing under severe cold, bat while
he did speak, made telling his Oh

ted by the peo!sle and loudly ap
