In the rear of the stage aud cen.
trally seated were the Peoples Drum
Corps. On the right aud left sides
respectively were the Nerden and
Tenth Ward bands, which dispensed
patriotic and stirring music at inter
walls during the evening.
Hon. F, 5. Richards was the first
speaker. He said:
Fellow Citizens: On the eve NJ
the great battle that will I've yApei
at the polls tomorrow We nave met
to discuss the ISSUE Involved in This
campaign and to consider the p,arits
OF tue respective candidates for Deie-
gate TO Congress.
=. Never before, in the history Of
me American people, has such an
Issue been presented rs that which
now confr0nts US. The contest NJ.
are making is not only for poIitical
supremacy and the election of our
candidate, built is a struggle for our
political existence. The candidate
OF the Liberal party has declared
himself in favor or the disfranchise-
ment Of Sll members OF the Peopje,s
party who belong to the Mormon
Church and has pledged himself II
elected, to do all in his power TO ac.
complish tina. result. This makes
the issue one of political life or
death 10 most members OF our party. I
All other considerations are swal- |
lowed up in the mcmentous cues
ton whether we shall continue 10 b.
free men and govern ourselves, or |
lose The elective franchise and be. /
come political slaves.
"Our candidate, the Hon. John 4
t. Game, has represented Clsh in
the national council during the mast
eight years, He has performed his
duty faithfully and well. He has |
been the friend of the people and /
the advocate OF human rights. His
career has been marked by honesty /
ami fidelity. An constituents have
been treated alike by him, without
regard TO their creed or political
faith. Every attempt to a5ridge
the rights and privileges Of law
abiding citizens has received his I'M
relenting and determined opposition.
he has never spoken q word or
written line in uerogati0n OF the
rights OF any human being, hut has
always maintained the grand prin-
ciple Of equality before the lax.
"rhe Liberal candidate, Mr.. &.
&. Goodwin, has spent what he calls
the best years Of his life in seeking
70 enslaye an honest, industrious anu
GOd-fearing people. At first he
based his opposition upon the fact
that some OF the people had violated
the law relating to polygamy, and
he declared that whenever an nc
acknowledgement of the Supremacy
Of the law was made by the
church to which they belonged and
an assurance given that it would be
Obeyed in the future, his opposition
would cease. Quite recently the !
declaration which bad 50 often been ,
demanded was made in the most
solemn and emphatic terms,
but il seems to have increased Talh-
sr than diminished Mr.. GOOdwin's
hatred for the Mormon people. He
now openly advocates the Wholesale :
Acknowledgement OF all AormOns,
those who have never
the law and have sworn to =
i've by its requirements. He insists ,
hat all Mormons should oe deprived ;
IF the right TO enter public lands. /,
he says that Mormon sons are
aught treason from their mothers !,
snee and that they are worse than
he offspring Of Mongolians- Will

The philosophical writings Of the o.
liberal candidate are equally re- ~
