too" Another was. Protection for
Liberalization and Morton"
The house was pretty we'll filled and
quite large number were seated on the
stage
George sutherland called the house to
order at b, and after short humor-
GUS speech, introduced as the principal
speaker, the
HON. A. sAxEY,
late of Kansas Mr.. Saxey said: "a
short time after the Chicago convention
l stated here We had come out to ratiiy
the nomination of the men who. af er
the Sd of March next, will be the Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the United
States. l am proud of the fact that
when a young man the first vote / ever
cast was for Abraham Lincoln, and
since that time l have voted for every
Republican President that has been
elected heretofore. l am proud to be
Repu blican. and prouder still to be an
American citizen, and am proud for
another reason, which it may be the
people of Utah know little about, and
may not understand the situation in all
its departments. The Republican Party
propose not to Cypress any religion or
sect, but to protect all in their rights,
and l am glad l do not stand on the
Democratic platform. The young
Democrats of Utah have had good
deal to say about the bloody shirt
issue. The Democrats ought not
to say anything about the bloody Shirt
Then Mr.. Saxey told story of Demo-
crat who had at one time said: JEFF.
Davis, and not Abraham Lincoln,
shall yet rank as President, and his
everlasting praise be sung while time
shall last or immortality endure"
Mr.. saxey also told of another Dem
oorat who was commissary of Libby
Prison and starved Union soldiers to
death. Then the speaker became elo-
quent and said: "Such men should be
relegated to the rear, and by the grace
of God in future they will be-" The
Young Democrats of Utah have been
fighting at long range. Then Mr..
Cassidy was criticised, as also was Pres
ident Cleveland. In one case it seems
the President vetoed a pension to an
old lady on the ground that the old
lady's husband had not died from the
effects of wounds received in the war.
After reading the papers in the case,
which showed there was no law to jus
tify pension in her case. Mr.. Gaxey
argued there should be a law
to pension an old woman who had
given her sons, her husband and all for
the country.
The people will now take care of the
soldiers and their dependent relatives,
and the mother who has given her sons
to the country may be given a small
pension of $14 month in her old age.
In conclusion, want to say that. while
/ criticise some, l do not condemn al
Democrats. 1t is the birthright of an
American citizen to criticise others, as
they oriticise US. and have a right to.
To the young men of Utah 1 say come
forth, take position and abide by it.
The darkness which seems to surround
you will vanish, and Utah will then be
come what she should and what, / be-
lieve, she soon will be-ona of the
brightest stars i'll the galaxy of States.
REED sMooT,
said he was Republican because he
thought protection against foreign
labor best for the country. The Demo.
Gratis have claimed the tariff was tax,
DuG Tue people OF tue UnlCeQ St6teS
have said by their votes the tariff is not
q tax. He advised young men to study
the question and thought when they
understood it they would all be Repub-
licans.
The chair then introduced
j. E. CLINTON,
of Nephi, as a wool man who knew
more about growing wool than the
sheep knew themselves. Mr.. Clinton
read from manuscript, as he said he
had written his speech so he could |
hereafter tell what he said.
DOCTOR SIMMONS
was not prepared to speak and had not |
the inspiration, but as was customary,
he would "bsar his testimony" He
felt like congrstulsting the people that |
We have protection in the United |
States, and can now snap our fingers at |
England. He thought the bloody shirt |
Iully as honorable as the red bandana, |
and that it would be many years before |
the Democrats again came into power.
