us protection. Yes, such protection
as taking the dollar cut Of the poor
mans pocket and putting it into the
Golfers of the rich monopolist.
Just at this jGncture the fire bell
rang, and the entire audience rushed
for the doors. 1t was soon found out
that it was some fool ringing the bell
for the curfew. There were but a
handful of people left in the room,
and the few members of the Enter
prise Band that were left got out on
the porch and played Marching Tbro'
Georgia." which soon had the effect of
packing the room again.
As soon as the band finished playing,
John B. Miner resumed his speech.
He said that the Republicans demand
ed a stronger government, He would
like to ask those present if they want
ed stronger and more powerful gov
eminent than we have had in Utah?
Do you want stronger government OF
do you want more liberty? When the
Constitution was framed it was con
sidered that it bequeathed sufficient
power to successfully govern the peo-
pie. Through all the years that have
elapsed since then, it has been found
to be as far reaching and as effective
in the control of affairs to-day as it
did century ago. Then what need is
there for our Republican friends to
clamor for more power? What has oc-
CURED so very recently that the Re
publican party demands a stronger
government to rule this free people:
Let it not be said that this nation is
ruled by pelf instead of patriotism
Yet it seemed to the speaker that this
is the object and the aim of the Re-
publican party. | am in favor of trust
ing the people with that which belongs
to them, and that is the reason why |
am Democrat.
Chairman Cash stated that he at
tended a Republican meeting some
time ago, at which three speeches
we're made. Two of these were made
by gentlemen who were fair and cour-
teous. The other speech was deliver
ed by an individual who was not only
unfair but was untruthful. This per
statement: Take the state of Mis-.
souri,, the state where the great Cash
came from; where the people sWore
by the James boys" The speaker then
stated the facts in the case as publish
ed in The DISPATCH last week, and
administered strong rebuke to Judge
SaXey for attacking him in the man
ner he did. The speaker then cited
the audience to the extravaganza OF
the late Congress, and said that he be-
lieyed there were some of that body
who feathered their pockets with the
money squandered, because it did not
take over two billions of dollars, the
amount that Congress appropriated
to run the Government two years.
Some individual loaded for bar
and with chunk of tobacco lying on
the side of his left jaw. and from
which the duty had been taken Off
here arose and started to wage q
second edition of the civil war with
1.-The man who (hic) spoke 'gainst oul
Gov 'ment (hic)." His name was Car
don, and the way the great Cash
sat down upon this Daniel come tC
Judgment was worth more than free
ticket to the Twelve Temptations. .
Carbon is a small man at the best, and
every point Cash made against him
and at which the house vOciferouSly
applauded, the poor fellow went
gradually out of sight, until at length
there was hardly enough left of him tC
drag home.
G. A. Conkling closed the meeting
with short, pithy address.
After the band played Dixie the
meeting adjourned for one week.
