Curry's record as an officer is before you
and speaks for itself. After thus introduce
ing the various candidates, he showed from
the records that Newill had lied in his state

Mr.. Booher then presented his " claims
for the euffrages OF his audience.
Sample II. Orr fully explained to all
present his position Rs o staunch and true
Democrat. The issue between the two par
ties, and one never to die, is the contest
between the aristocrats and the people,
which he aptly compared to the old Homan
contest. All parties that have sprung into
existence have iu time gone down under
democratic pressure against the rule OF
aristocrats. All other forms OF govern
ment tend to Capitalization, while the
Democratic party is the only one persist
ent in it's determination to prevent it. Con-
t,nuing, he showed how much more the
masses are to be trusted than any small
body of men. In regard to Col. Sanders
election he asked the plain question: us
it policy for a man to employ
an attorney to conduct a case when
other client to defeat him?" He closed
his able SPEECH by showing that Republican
legislation is in the direct interest Of mo-
nopolists and the wealthy aristocratic
classes.
CD. Walsh spoke tellingly OF Sanders and
desired the audiencet to consider what chance
he would have, if elected, in demanding
favors OF an administration he.had villltied.
In comparing the candidates on the two
tickets Mr.. Davidson was spoken of as at
least the equal to his opponent, Lee a
tie. Voice from the crowd, If he isn't we'll
shoot him." Loud and long applause.)
He referred to the generalissues OF the cam
paign and to the candidates as men occu-
pying modest positions in life. In referring
to the criticisms against Mr.. Sullivan, Mr..
Walsh said the difference between Mr.. Sulli-
van and Mr.. Lloyd in this matter is that
while Sullivan was elected Mr.. Lloyd was
not even nominated in the convention.
Col. w. Y. Pemberton being called for
spoke very pleasantly of the candidates
and then Of the democracy OF Thomas
Jefferson having first downed the aris-
tocracy under the leadership OF John
Adams. He then explained the meaning OF
the word to be the power of the people,

eminent t o every citizen. Then launching
into the Congressional question, he asked
in thunder tones, "Who ~demonitized sill
ver?" Answering his W question he said:
"John Sherman introduced the bill, and it
was successful in it's hellish mission"
'Who put it back?" he asked, and answer
ing again, he brought down the house with
a prolonged roar and applause, "Bland, OF
Missouri" He it was who introduced the
bill for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, but q Republican Senate deprived it
of it's full usefulness by limiting the coinage
ton is not so much a question OF politics
as a difference in views between Eastern
capitalistsagainst Western interests. San
ders and Toole nave both been in
the Legislature. "What did they there?'
The one proposed to place a subsidy debt
of 81, 900, 600 upon the people, while the
other used every effort to reduce taxation
to the minimum. While endeavorins to
saddle upon the people such a debt he also
introduces q bill to relieve from taxation
the Utah e. Northern, and also to give
lars. Sanders, the Old War Horse, was
ridden up hill by a fat fellow, Mclean.
Then Cavanaugh gave him a game, and Ma
ginnis rode him over the plains until his
back was sore. Now they trot
him out again as a fit steed
for Toole. Sanders record is that OF a
working for monopolists and artistic
Gratis as against the people while Toole's
record for usefulness is unparalleled as a
Delegate from the Territories. -Four years
ago / placed in nomination Eugene D. Sulli'
van. In our convention he was elected by
a large majority, but at the polls was de-
feated by members Of his own party. Two
years ago l begged him to let his name be
used but he would not suffer himself to be
abused by pretended friends, but, as did
Gladstone, he appealed to the people and
their verdict was his election. 1t has been
stated that Sullivan would not serve a writ
on a laboring man, but we all know that
he would serve a writ on the devil if it was
in the line OF duty. (Long Applause.)
The meeting then adjourned with three
cheers and a tiger for j. K. Toole and the
Democratic ticket.
