rim followed.
S. A. Kcnner, the speaker Of the evening" ad-
dressed the audience on The Present -itua-
tion." SO large gathering indicated great in
tereSt in politics. The very things the Liberals
were charging the People with they were guilty
OF themselves. There was in every community
a class Of people that dld not know which side TO
vote for. We wanted TO 81 Their in "a few OF these
straggG0-' ties, as it didn't make bit of differ
ence how much brains a man had, his vote
counted as much as the rest. Without the PEG
pies party there would have been no Utah ter
tory without he Peoples party there would have
been no Pacific railroad no overland mail. The
People came here and reclaimed this country
because they did not wish 10 remain under Il
people lie the Liberals They preferred to
brave the wildS OF the wilderness and face the
SavageS. There was no such party here at that
time as the Liberal, except the Indians, and he
did not wish 10 ContanimaLe the Indians with any
such name. They have enough to bear. The
Indians were satisfied with what belonged TO
them. while the Liberals wanted the earth. The
Liberals say that we are gone up now. We have
gone up Il good many times before, and have
generally come down with an accelerando move
ment that was felt by them more than the
former time. Tho Liberals wanted to be
pacited, they have been given everything TO
pacify them that we could give them but they
won't be pacihed, The party that was best
quahedljO.govern community ora state, should
be given the reins of government; it was their
duty. What is there in the Liberal record that
was worthy for us 10 follow? They claim they
have had no chance TO govern: they. have had
chance and been weighed IN the balance and
found wanting. He did not come to refer 10 ToCele
but would come down 10 sOmethin more modern.
Last February, when the city election of Ogden
took place, he spoke to a meeting Of the PEG
pies party-the losing side. IL the first
time he was on the losing side, and thought
something was wrong. He found out what was
wrong before he left. The People had all the
music and the Liberals all the noise. One of the
transpareucies Of the Liberals read: Short on
Music but Long on Votes" He never heard OF
Ifh6 Liberals getting so near the truth before,
= some Of their voters extended from Terrace on
the west 10 Evanston on the east. People who
had never been up street OF Ogden, never
knew whether the Inhabitants were white or
black, were brought in in train loads and driven
up to the polls ike cattle 10 vote. No sooner
had the Liberals taken possession than a trans
formation took place. Trains loaded with peo-
pie such as We would not care to be introduced
To- arrived in Ogden Gambling dens were
opened ana houses for immoral purposes Sprang
up like mushrooms Gambling dcnS ran in full
blast with doors open, until the United
States marshal was compelled to make
raid on these places, as they were running con
trary 10 law Of this territory. This not
the case while the people held The reins Of gov
ernment Our young men are appealed TO by
the Liberal organs with all kinds OF pet names,
while formerly they were called all That was
bad. He defed any one 10 produce paper OF
the Peoples party, or n speech by speaker OF
the party, that would not bear the closest
scrutiny and had not the stamp Of truth on il. II
this course was not pursued the party would
have gone to pieces long ago. Think well before
YOU vote. the Peoples party is the only party
that could be relied on in an emergency.
A vote OF thanks was rendered the speaker.
Adjourned until Tuesday December 3, 1889.
