THE REPUBLICANS SCoRCHED
The Speech of Colonel O'Brien Received With
Ringing Cheers by the Democrats Of
the Old Reliable.

For the first time in the history of Bing-
ham, the cafion resounded, Saturday night,
with Democratic melody. The occasion
for the Democratic jubilee was the logical
and brilliant address of Hon. Thomas
B. O'Brien, from the porch Of the Griffin
house. 1.-THE eloquent speaker. began: II am
here, tonight, fellow citizens, to expound
to the best of my meagre ability
the principles of Democracy. 1 keenly

Bingham is unique ana novel feature;
According to the tone of self constituted
arrogant r epublican dictators in Utah, a
Democrat has no rights which the place
hunting caluminators have right TO res
peel. BY respecting ourselves as Demo-
Gratis we will make the common
REPUBLICAN ENEMY RESPECT Us.
Amalgamation with republicans on the
part of democrats, means political con-
tamination and official death. 1t is time that
we awaken from our lethargy and assert,
collective individuality. Remember, that
evil associations corrupt good morals. 1t is
contrary TO democratic morality to
associate with official Republican knaves.

its universal sense. / have met many

which mother nature has so lavishly
bestowed in the surrounding hills. It was
the Republican party that demoralized and
degraded silver. 1t was the Democratic
