cerned, you can decide Tor YOUR
selves. Above all this, however.
is the great question of the material:in-
dustries OF the country, the question of
the protection of American labor and of
free ballot and fair count. We are
going to organize Republican G 1ub in
Utah, and here ask every Republican
who does not believe in continuing a
party in power by the shotgun and
rife, and who does believe in keeping
pauper labor out of this country, to
join us.
The armyis now On the march, and
you can hear the steady tread of the
advancing co lumns marching on to the
White House At their head is Gen
ersl Harrison, the representative
American soldier in the White House
now. Those men are thinking of their
brothers who went out on the battle
field TO save their country, as we pro-
pose 10 save it now with the ballot. -
E B. Cri,chlow was then elected sec
the folio wing plan for the organization
of the club:
BASIS OF MEMBERSHIP OF SALT LAKE Re
PUBLICAa CLUB CT UTAH.
The undersigned, being DESTROYS OF
giving such aid and encouragement to
our Republican brethren in the United
States as we properly may. and believ-
ing that the most effective method of
doing so Is by the formation of q Re
publican Club similar to those now ex-
stiug in other Territories of the
Republic. hereby agree to associate
ourselves together under the name of
the Salt Lake Republican Climb. The
basis of principles on which this asso-
citation shall be founded is as follows:
FIRsT-We are Republicans, aud ac-
lcept the platform of principles laid
Down by the National Convention of
the Republican party held in Chicago
II the month of June, 1888.
SECoED-We endorse the nomination
.oi Harrison and Morton as candidates
for President and Vice President, and
will use al such efforts for their cleo
ton as citizens Of Territory lawfully
and properly may.
THIRD-We are distinctly opposed
to any organization of any kind
which attempts to dictate, through
ecclesiastical authority or influence
the conduct of public affairs or the
political action OF the citizens, and we
are unalterebly opposed to all who do
rot in good faith favor a government,
Republican il fact IS we'll as in form,
and believe it to be the duty of the citi-
zen to support the laws of the land, as
interpreted by lawful authority.
]. R. MBRIDE
was the next speaker. He said that
the necessity for such au organization
as was proposed was not apparent to
some, as the citizens of Ctah were
not entitled to vote at the Presi-
Dental election. This was true. but
they were dependent upon those
who could vote, and when
it was remembered that the
President had been given the power
to appoint large number of the officers
of the Territory, it would be seen that
they had about as much interest in the
coming election as any State in the
Union.
The speaker then dwelt at great
length upon the history of the Repub-
can party during the time it was in
power, and criticized the acts of Presi-
dent Cleveland in particular, and of the
Democratic party in general.
HUGH j. MAHoN
was then introduced to the audience by
Mr.. Varian as 1.-The young Irisa orator"
Mr.. Mahon said that he was an
not an Irishman-and he
was proud of it. His fathes was an
rishman-against his will. He COM
menced his address by ohsracterizing
President Cleveland as the best agent
The British Government had overhead
in this country, and made many vague
illusions to conspirators who were
working to overthrow the Republic.
rne majority of the audience left the
house before he had concluded his re-
marks.
On motion of Judge Mcbride, the
Chair was instructed to appoint COM
nittee of five to draft a constitution
and bylaws to be reported at the next
ocular meeting, and Messrs. Critch-
ow. Mcbride, Haynes, Bynon and
McCallum were named. lie meeting
hen adjourned for one week, after
which eighty persons came forward and
Iigned the membership roll.
NOTES.
FULLY 100 people left the building at
he close of Variants address, and dur
ng the speech of Judge Mcbride, the
audience Kept dropping out one by one,
and gathered in the lobby, where
several Rer ublicans collared q stray
Democrat and endeavored to convert
him from the error Of his ways. The
effect, however, was nil.
J. J. DAILY was elected chief bouncer,
md during the evening fired Howard
Cwombley, staunch Republican, be-
;ause Howard took exceptions to the re-
marks of Judge Mcbride.
Mr.. VARIAN was interrupted in the
middle of one of his flights of elo-
Iuence, by the ringing yell, Excel
ior! Popular rumor credited it to |
Major Bird, who had been heard to |
make threat to that effect during the |
fuernooH.
Nh. GLENDIEIEG informed Mr.. Mel
on, of the Tribune, during the evening, |
hat he would stop his paper and other
wise withdraw his patronage. He |
bought it was a blank shame that |
marley Varian should be treated in
q manner.
