The doctor then introduced Colonel IT. r
O'Brien, staunch Democrat MIR. O,Brien
stepped into the carriage and made a stir
ring and eloquent address against the com
mon enemy. He said:
1 am not here tonight to deal
out patent medicine, but rather to deal ont
another and more essential medicine to this
nrr7rra rrr,s%
1clne. The necessity for Democratic pol
1tlcs is sef-evident unless we want to be
cursed longer with the plague of religions
luminosity. 1t is high time we should have
the two political parties in Utah We are
all pleased that one theocracy is dead, but
we are now cursed with conglomerata
tneocracy, Catholicism, M6thodisnl Pres
byterianism, Episcopalianism and Hebrew
Ism, all arrayed against the Door
Mormon for the selfish greed of
office [ supported the Liberal party
the last campaign, because 1 was eager to
see the separation of church and state
1 am satisfied that the young men of Utah
are pleased that the day of church politics
is over. They are DESTROYS to be relieved
OF the wolf cry of Mormon when they go
TO the polls. and the only way which that
can be accomplished is by Joining one of
the two national parties. Since we organ
1zed the Salt Lake Democratic club

OF my fellow citizens like the $4,000 Doodle
patriot who led us all out of the land of
bondage. Sic. We must prepare for i'm

essential to success because no army has
ever yet been victorious unless with and
through good discipline. When our club |
meets again we want every eligible citizen |

Mr.. O'Brien was vociferously cheered |
and congratulated by hundreds when he |
finished his pointed and impressive GRAFTON. |
About two thousand persons were
present when the rain came pour

ing. The committee on resolutions |
then presented the following resolutions. |
which were read by Mr.. O'Brien. During |
the reading, he was frequently interrupted |
with ringing applause, and the resolutions 1
were adopted with a whirl of unanimity:
Whereas, 1t is being industriously circulated |
IN eastern Republican journals that there is no
Democracy in Salt Lake. the occult purpose of
wnlch Is TO Undue our Democratic brothers in |
Ihe east with a scornful contempt for the |
democracy OF Utah for abandonment and be- |
travail OF Democratic principle: and
Whereas, We, the Democratic Gentiles of |
