DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE
Ably Expended by the Members of
the Democratic Club in Ogden
Last Night.

success, but nothing like the magnificent
demonstration that caused the Junction
City to go wild with enthusiasm was
dreamed Of
1t had not been expected that more
than two carloads of Democrats would at
tend from this city, and but two cars were
therefore attached to the ID. G. r. G.. train
These coaches, as well as those of the
regular train, were filled and crammed
in a twinkling and half of the crowd left
standing on the platform. Two more
coaches were then added to the train,
making nine cars in all, which were all
heavily loaded. 1t was then found that a
single engine would be insufficient to pull
through on time, and Engineer Ryan,
who, with his little giant of iron and steel,
had already sped past 100 mile posts that
day, was called on to make a double
header. 1t was 5.25 when the
MAGNIFICENT TRAIN
Pulled out of this city, and in just one
hour and five minutes it steamed into
Ogden, although Engineer Ryan declared
his belief that the people on that
train were heavier than ordinary persons,
which may have been the case, as they
were all Democrats, but their hearts were
light with joy. The number that went
from this city is estimated from 800
to 400.
Upon arriving at the Ogden depot
PROCESSION WAS FORMED,
Headed by the Sixteenth Ward band and
the National colors, the latter being under
charge of Ensign Sullivan. Messrs. John
NJ. Young and John H. Burton acted as
marshals. The procession made quite an
imposing appearance, but the band boys
were too ravenously hungry to march
with much precision, and ratified off to-
wards the hotel at very undignifed
pace. a majority of the excursionists
took supper at the junction City Hotel,
but many went to the Broom.
Long before the time arrived for the
meeting the Union Opera House was
CROWDED AND OVERCOMING,
and it became apparent that it would not
hold more than one-third of those who
desired to hear the speeches. 1t seemed
as if almost the entire population Of Og-
den had emptied itself into the streets,
and every one was half wild over the con-
templated meeting. 1t was the first po-
litical meeting ever held in that city, and
the novelty of the thing had aroused the
interest Of the public.
1t was decided, about s o'clock, to hold
the meeting'in the street in front OF the
Dolly Block. Mr.. Simon Bamberger an
nounced this to the audience, who,
headed by the band, repaired to the place
designated Some of the speakers, how
ever, protested their inability to speak in
the open air and the band was marched
back to the Opera House again. 1t was
about $50 when the meeting common ed

inch of standing room, including the hall
and stairway was occupied. Fully 900
people were crowded within reach of the
speakers voices.

was unanimously elected. After thank

appear before the citizens of Ogden as a
representative of the Young Democracy
of Utah.
eve meet tonight to celebrate an
event that has not been cele-
brated for twenty-eight years. When
the last Democratic President took
his seat it was in the midst of stormy
! times, and few Presidents since James
Buchanan's administration have been
surrounded by the difficulties that beset
him. The last Democratic President la
bored under great difficulties, but opine
that President Cleveland will have still
greater difficulties to contend with than
ever Buchanan had"
The speaker reviewed the many COM
plicated and intricate questions that were
presented to Buchanan, the" Utah Rebel
lion" being alluded to as one OF the Incl
dents of his administration. Mr.. Young
! continued:
After twenty-four years of patient
watching, we find the Democratic star
again in the ascendency and we have
every reason to anticipate glorious rule
for the next four years, and, perhaps, for
wears to come. [Applause.l l an
ticipate that under the present
administration wave of prosperity will
sweep over every State and Territory in
the Union, and this wave will give to
Utah
FREEDOM OF SPEECH,
Freedom of thought, and respect for
the laws she has not had in the past.

! the United States it is our duty to obey
! the laws. no matter how unjust we be-
lieve them to be. 1t is our duty. as citl-
zens, if we love those who fought aud
died to establish and preserve this gov
eminent, to maintain and obey the laws
until we can secure their abrogation or
repeal. (Applause.)
81 suppose every one in this audience
understands the object of the Democratic
club of Utah. We, as members OF that
club, feel proud that we are members. 1t
has been alleged that we are a set OF NAL
contents and soreheads, but all that we
ask is that every man cast his ballot as he
sees fit, and exercises his own judgment
instead of relying upon the judgment of
some other man. 1t is necessary for us in
Utah to take an interest in these matters.
1t will not do for us to stay at home and
allow others to attend to these things.
We ask tO he allowed 70 hold orr
