term of General Harrison the people of
Utah shall lift themselves from their
fanaticism so that Utah itself shall be
found freed from religious insanity.
A voIcE-"Never!" followed by cries
of Put him out. Not clothed in en-
dowment garments, but with the pure
white garments of marriage between
one man and one woman (yells and
cheers), she shall be found at the gate
way OF the Rocky Mountains, knocking
at the gates for admission into the
Union.
And to this Congress would answer:
open your gates and let the bride
come in and all the people of the United
States shall say amen, amen"
After music by the band the glee
Gorlinski, Graham and Rood sang, and
the chairman introduced
C. 8. vARIAN.
Mr.. Varian was very happy and he
couldn't help letting people know it.
He said: This is very nearly the
happiest moment of my life. Distinc-
lively Republican, partly because of
my education, and partly because OF
my love of country, could not fail
to respond in short speech on an
occasion that, believe, is the grandest
in the history of Utah Territory. He
said that the scenes of the day and
night were well calculated to eXhalU
him in the belief that there is more
good in humanity than bad.
For year there has been great con-
test all over this country, ever since the
President of the United States made his
manifesto to the people. For year
great canvass has been going on every
where; in Congress, in the workshop
and in the home, about which the
American people have been thinking.
Projection to American honor, protec-
tion to American people and protection
to our own products, had triumphed,
and the country was rejoicing in the
victory.
Mr.. Lincoln, the greatest and grand
est of all our Presidents wild cheers),
has said that part of our people may
be wrong part of the time, but the
whole people are never entirely wrong.
We who have lived in Utah for the past
few months have no idea of the contest
that has been going on in the country.
But those of US who were in the east
saw the contest and predicted rightly
that when the vote was recorded the
result would be "aye" for Harrison and
protection.
We are not here to discuss political
questions. The contest is over, and we
have met here to rejoice. rejoice with
music and with song. We have no ill
feeling toward you, our Democratic
friends, if there are any of you present,
and hops there are. We know that
you are mistaken, we have just proven
it to you. AS yet, no great light has
fallen upon you, the scales have not yet
fallen from your eyes and you are still
in darkness, but if you stay with US
long enough we will convert you, and
next time you can rejoice with US.
am now talking as National Republi-
can, but as Utah Republicans
we will join hands with you to-
morrow and continue the fight.
We will march with you and fight with
you under that banner: 1.-The political
power of the Mormon Church, as exer-
cised in the past. is g menace to free
institutions too dangerous to be longer
suffered " We will join hands with you
to fight local battles, but tonight, just
one night in four years, we want TO
malice against the Democratic party
we We won. We've buried you, we have
attended your funeral, and We
will erect proper monument to your
memory. But, as l said before, could
not but bear my testimony. love the
Republican party. venerate its past.
II am filled with great hope for its future.
am glad to say to you, and to the
people that Grandfather's Hat just
fits. At least, for this generation the
products of American soil and of
American labor shall be protected by
the people and by the armies Of the
United States.
ask you all if you are not proud of
the fact, and if you are not happy in
the knowledge that Benz amin Harrison
on the 4th of March will be the Presi-
dent, in fact, of the United States"
More music by the bands.
ARTHUR BROWN
was the next speaker. He said: Never
in the history of Utah has there been
such rejoicing. and never in her past
history has there been such occasion
for rejoicing. We have met and passed
one OF the great crises in our country's
history. 1t takes uS back again beyond
the Missouri and beyond the Missis-
sippi. AS it was said to-day, America
is here. Aye, America is always hers.
1t recalls the days OF 64. when great
fear hung over the country lest the great
Lincol n should not be elected. When
Lincoln was reelected and the country
was saved. there was great rejoicing.
Such another feeling We had ag ain when
we learned that Harrison was elected.
We should rejoice to-day as we did
then. 1t is like the time when the news
| from Appomatox flashed across the
country and filled the heart of every
northern Republican with rejoicing
This triumph only differs in degree
from AppOmatox.
This is an issue that has been before
the country before. In 1874 the Wings,
on almost the same platform as the Re-
publicans of 1888, went into the same
fight between protection and free trade.
| If our fathers had understood the sys-
tenn of protection then, as we under
stand it now, there would have been no
civil war. The Republican Party, as it
stands for free labor, stands for all
labor.
What does Utah Territory gain
by this election? We can say to east
