then elected secretary.
a. j. Norrell said that he understood
the object of the mass convention to bs
the selection of delegates to represent
this county in the Territorial conyen
ton to be held at Ogden next month.
and he therefore moved that a commit
Zee of five be appointed by the
chair to. nominate the twenty-six
delegates. The motion being carried,
the following gentlemen were named:
a. J. N0rreIi. NJ. B. Sowles, S. Il. Lewis,
N. S Pendergast and E -. Hoge. The
committee retired, and in answer to
calls made for him, P. l.. Williams came
forward and said it was pleasure to
address a meeting OF democrats upon
an occasion
so AUSPICI JUS TO THE PARTY.
Hs had always been a Democrat,
though denied the privilege Of voting
fer a Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. They were met
to select delegates to the convention
which would send delegates to the con-
vention to be held at st. Louis, to name
the standard bearer of the Democratic
party for 1888, and in November next
they would hear again that their csndl-
date had been elected to the chief Office.
When the Democratic party was re-
turned 10 power In 1854. the Republ'-
cans were overwhelmed with griet at
discovering that more than oue-hat o.
the American voters were unit for self
government. Yet Democrats might
feel just pride in the fact that their
President had
MET THE FULL EXPECTATION
OF his party, and the whole country
was forced to admit that his had been
q capable and honest administration Of
pub ic affairs Since the day when
Grover Cleveland was inauguruted, he
had impressed upon the nation tue
fact that a public Office was a public
trust, and it would not take prophet
10 see that he would be the standard
bearer of his party Ia 1888. In him
the party had not only q tried and
capa ole man, but a leader, and the
ether party would have
TO STAND IN RESPECTFUL SILENCE
before the verdict which would come in
November next. Mr.. Williams e1-
pressed his views on the tariff question
! at considerable length, and took the
position that the revenue should
| be reduced to what was le-
Ultimately required for the pur-
poses of the government. All in
excess of this went to support
monopolies, instead of benefting the
Iaboring classes. Grover Cleveland's
position on the tariff had been mis-
stated by Republican papers and
politicians, but this had not weak
ened him in the eyes Of his party.
The speaker said that he had never at
tended meeting of Democrats when
the prospect of success was brighter.
The party had been returned to power.
and had acquitted itself in such way
as to
SILENCE ALL DEFAMERS.
Judge Sutherland being called
responded by saying that he did moi
come to make a speech. He con-
graduated the Democrats of the
country upon the present favorable
outlook. So long as he could remember
it had always been prin-
ciple of that party that il
, aimed at the greatest good 10 ths
greatest number. Its policy was te
build up and benefit all the interests Of
the country, to encourage industry
and to put capital under proper res
traints. He was not believer in tariff
[ for revenue Only. Protection wa:
needed for the mining and other in
dust les, ard cheap labor was not to bt

and protectionists could be Democrats
