You can't suppress brain; it belongs, in
| great part, to the polygamous members of the
Peoples party, and you can't suppress it, They
can't vote, but you can't suppress them"
Referring to the statement made against Mr.
| Allen by Mr.. Moyle, Mr.. Benner said that he
had the honor of inviting Mr.. Allen to Utah,
and he knew that there was no man more capa-
Bile of forming comprehensive and perfect
school bill than Mr.. C. E. Allen.
The professor dwelt at length upon the school
system OF Salt Lake city, charging shameful
inequality in the school taxes andin the benefits
derived therefrom and favoring a municipal
school system.
The professor told some good stories, which
pleased the miners and brought round upon
round of applause.
Z. p. FERRY
was the next speaker He began by saving that
a man never knows how mean he is until he
runs for Office Il don't think you know how
mean the Liberal party isl And by way OF
Illustration he read the editorial in THE SUNDAY
HERALD, in which large percentage of the i'm
morality in Salt Lake city is charged against the
Liberals.
Mr.. Ferry said he came here in 1878 with his
carpet bag to stay here two weeks, and has been
here ever since; the bag has been too heavy to

they have as much right to their religion as
have to mine But whenever your religion or
mine interferes with the government of this
great and glorious county, 1 say down with that
religionr"
Mr., Ferry said he wanted it distinctly under
stood that he was in favor of moving the county
seat from Coalville TO Park City. He claimed
that the present court house is rotten in struc
ture and ungainly in appearance.
If the county seat isn't moved, I'll vote heart
lily to have a new court house built at Coalville
one that it will be safe 10 keep prisoner in
and one in which our records will be safe.

Before the close OF the meeting the following
dispatch from Orlando w. Powers was read:

will be paid by calling at the Walker house,

FROM MR.. BENNER,
Mr.. Benner hands me the following, which he
desires TO have printed in the SUNDAY HER
AID:
EDITOR HERALD: observe in this mornings
issue of THE HERALD an account of a speech by
Mr.. ]. Fl. Moyle last evening at the Fourteenth
ward assume the report to be correct There
are two points TO which would like to call vour
readers attention. In an apparent effort to
show that Professor Allen is cheap man, he
says: ALLEN came to Utah and located in one of
our mining camps as teacher on a salary of
about 5000 per annum." Mr.. Allen, after being
offered professorship in one of the most promi,
nent and wealthy institutions of the country
came TO Utah on account Of his health. accept
ing an invitation to teach in Salt Lake academy
two hours day at o salary double that men.
toned by Mr.. Moyle. Whether Mr.. Allen
drafted the bill which he introduced into the
last legislature 1 do not know l do
know there is no man in Utah more capable of
drafting strong bill on the subject Of educa-
ton.
The second point is this. He says: 1.-THE
man who burns down your house, robs you and
serves term in the penitentiary and comes out,
he as the right to vote, while those who have
lived with more than one wife. and did it
honestly and treated them well, are deprived OF
the right"
Mr.. Moyls has instanced two felonies, and says
that at .er a man has been convicted of them and
has served his term, he can vote. Is MIR. Moyle
