marched to the Bank corner, where
they we're received by loud and pro-
longed cheers by the immense crowds
there gathered. As darkness came on
hundreds of torches were lit, and red
fire illumined the vicinity of the DEM
ocratIc headquarters magnlticently.
When the torches were lit ard all lis

But never wipe our noses on it. Many
other banners were displayed. boom

The procession stretched out seven
blocks, the men walking three abreast.
Cheers upon cheers tor the different
candidates rent the air. and with
music from the silver and martial bands
the whole line was KEPT lively
On the Return march the Republican
parade was met but it looked a toy
alongside Of The grand array Of Demo-
Gratis. The whole procession marched

torches, then conference.-the to the
Opera House. The bows were cheered

seemed 10 thoroughly enjoy tire spec

good government tor them.
Long before the parade had done
marching the crowd was vending lis
way toward the Opera House where
they would hear the speeches that APP
pealed to their reason aud that tiaey
therefore wanted 10 hear Before $50
p. m. The streets We're packed. i few
.stragslers followed the Reps, but the

.deafeniug cheer was raised that

ments of those who were cheered and
the music Uf the band.
Chairman Dusenberry introduced the
first speaker, Lieut.. K. W. Young,
who was Justly cheered and said:
lfr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
/ came down here this evening with
Mr.. Richards upon invitation OF your
county chairman, to address you upon
the subject OF Democracy. Il Is a
cause in which ] am pleased to raise
my voice: il is a cause the truth OF
which [ am mere 10 bear my testimony
---IU is the gospel of popular salvation,
in nv judgment, Applause.
Ever since | have been able to an
derstand to any degree the politics OF
our nation / have been, SO far as ma
tional politics are concerned, Demo-
crdt. / have understood that nearly
IN -, NO mr.
their svmpathies have been with the
Democratic cause, and it IS surprising
10 me now that We are dividing and
have divided on national political
lines to find even a very few of the
people OF this Territory who are not
Democrats 1t is surprising % me IN
view OF the history of the Republican
palty--In view OF what we nave seen
OF Republican rule IN the Territory for
these many wears. We have seen here
IAN example OF Republican principle
The ghts of the Individual and the
rights OF Local seIf-government Suan
gird. And for that reason l have al
ways understood our people were Dem
q. OrratiC, because we have believed IN
the right OF the individual to govern
himself
1t seems to me that the Republicans
are loohing backward and not forward.
That thev are seeking TO turn back the
hands on the dial OF h story. They
advocate strong central government
A Capitalization OF power as against the
rights Of tie individual. Why Is II
that to-day tie finger of scorR Is pointed
al Russia and other mnnarchlal gov
,ernments? tits because The lnhabr
+ants 10 a ctTl ain extent are Seris. w ny
Is il that this republic is inclined tC
make sport and TO ridIcule monarchy
Whv is il that we DO not believe in the
lights OF roval families TO rule-that be
cause a person is born the son of ;
king that he himself shou d be kinl
aud ruler II is because We DO not be-
sieve in continuation but in tie rignt!
Of the individual tn govern themselves
What is the tendency 10 Republican
principles? 1t is, as l have SAID, L
turn back the history of the world.
viii not accuse the Republican party o
dies otism, but their tendency is to q
backwards, while the tendency O
Democracy is forward. Under Demo
cratic conditions, we, the people, VII
enjoy greater privileges and liberties
The origin of the two parties was
the origin OF the government. Thel
NE heard Alexander Hamilton saying
to the people of this country that w
should a Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatives, the members Of whicl
should hold position during their nat
,,ral lives" There was opposed to hin
that q1eat man who said that all mel
were created equal. Thomas Jefferson
For myself / can see nothing desira
bile in the Republican principles.
