Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1890-02-07

asn is not a believer in the future
of Utah. Il is easy to see
here tonight who have built
I'D this Territory. They are
the Peoples Party. The great
question in this campaign is not one
Of insiders nor outsiders, but OF
loyalty to true American principles.
The past economy Of our city gov
eminent VIII not be continued II the
ssLii erals'' gain possession Of it. i
overheard a remark made the other
day by n gentleman who said that
he never expected 10 see his friend
George NJ. Scott become a polly
wogl Tremendous shouts Of laughter
and applause.
The speaker here related humor-
Gus anecdote which had a very pal
pable application; and he continued
ut some length upon the principles
and issues which were at stake. He
closed by expressing the belief that
poor men would find il hard to
maintain homes in this city under
"Liberal" rule.
DIR. II. ]. FACsF
was the next speaker. Every man
on the ''Liberal'' ticket sought the
place, but not q man on ours did.
What Kind OF people did you see in
the 'Liberai' procession today ?
I'll tell you that II l had any horses
left, I'D lock 'em up! Laughter
The "Liberals'' have put one Utah
boy upon their ticket, but he's got
heavy lcnI to draw. The speaker
related number Of humorous nnec-
iOtes applicable 20 the situation,
which were greeted with great APP
plause.
j. II. PAUL, ESQ,
was the next speaker. The "Libe-
rals'' have made two platforms, in
one Of which they declare that il
was they who brought the railroad,
the Telegraph and telephone 20 Utah.
There Is no truth in this claim. The
Peoples Party laid the first railroad
In Utah. II they hadn't, the Glib
erals'' would not have come across
the plains. IApplause.l The Peo-
Pies party also introduced the tele-
graph into this Territory long
before the "Liberal' party existed
here. The "Liberals" would punish
a whole community because a few
Of ID had committed an
Dffense. They boast Of large ma
iOrity; but it had been located on
The line Of the Rio Grande Western,
and would not dare to vote.
=. A. KENNER, ESQ,
was next introduced and spoke brief
". The scene before me illustrates |
he remarkable adaptability Of the
Peoples Party to their surround
ngs. Its founders, when they first |
zane here, quickly adapted them
selves to the conditions they found /
here. The mass Of the Peoples |
Party has not been a political COM
nunity. They have, IN the past,
lad but little to do with politics; but |
when n political conflict is forced
ipon them, II does not take them /
Ong to put themselves in bettertrim 4
md discipline than their opponents.
They progress step by step, and don't
ross a stream till they come 10 it.
They are always equal TO the emer-
,ency If they can have fair play. 1t
nay be that fraud will overcome
hem, but nothing short Of that

The speaker gave a graphic de-
cription Of the fruits Of "Liberal'
ule in Ogden, and reasoned that,
hould that party be permitted to
rim here, n similar condition Of
hings would ensue. but on a larger
Gale. He was repeatedly applauded.
The chairman thanked the march,
NJ clubs and bands. and announced
hat the meeting would dismiss with
hree cheers for the Peoples Ticket
And such cheeTsi Never before
Tas such an Outburst witnessed since
'hIte men lived among these noun
aims. 1t was a yeritable tornado Of
1t il estimated that
-om five to seven thousand people
'ere in the dense mass Of humanity
Ihich Joined in the tremendous aud
rOlonged cheering. The torches
'ere waved aloft, hats were swung
Ugh, the drums beat, and from
Of Threats burst forth an
Npression Of the intense enthusiasm
rat swellei the bOsOms Of the cheer
lg multitude.
But perfect, almost mechanical,
rider was preserved. The captains
( the various marching clubs gave
he necessary Orders, which were
beyed with the precision Of veteran
oops, and soon long lines Of torches
'ere seen winding along the streets
! various directions, their bearers
to the rythmic beating Of
runs or the stirring music Of the
rass and martial bands.
The vast cOncOurse Of citizens
lietly dispersed, and, with the eG-
option Of enviOus remarks and
iouts from sporadic Liberals" who J
nd lost themselves in the multitude,
lere was no disorder.
