AT sANTAQUIN.
We had rousing Democratic rally
here last night. \ good house of botl
ladies and gentlemen were present, t.
whom the Hon. w. H. King. the tirst
speaker, expended Democracy, and
Judging from the frequent sounds o.
applause, his argument Ia favor OF q
Democratic form Of government as be-
ing best for the people, his telling
points against tie tariff, the Force bill
and the unAmerican tendencies OF the
Republican party were highly appre-
ciated by the audience. His arguments
were ample reason to all calm and dis
passionate thinkers why people of all
other political persuasions should be-
come good Democrats, as they are do
ing in the several (once) Republican
states in the East. He also made plain
! (by illustration the doctrine OF local
self-govenment, SO dear to all AmeFi-
cans, and to-day almost everybody you
meet here SAYS: '-Wen, | should
think everybody can understand now
that Democracy is the best form OF
government.
Several questions were asked by a
couple Of our Republican friends, and
were answered by Nh. King in gen
/ tlcmanly manner, TO the evident salts
/ faction OF The meeting.
/ Mr.. 5. i. Page of PaysOn, gave few
good reasons why he was a Democrat,
why that form Of government is best.
why it should prevail, and why the
/ Democratic ticket should be elected
at the election next Monday.
Mr.. VIM. Probert was the last
speaker, and although the hour was
late, he kept the house in good hui
-RleF, while he endorsed those names
on the Democratic ticket, and gave
good sound reason why they should be
elected. Being d sheep man, he spoke
OH the wool question, tariff, etc, keep
ing the house in a roar of laughter. He
received thunders of applause at the
good points he made in favor of De-
mocracy, and against tariff on wool.
4 rousing vote of thanks to the
speakers, cheers for Democracy and
benediction by the Chaplain OF tie
club brought the proceedings to a
close. 7. b. II.
AT NEPHI.
The once promising city of Npphi is
dead, and the inhabitants are in
mourning. The r. O. w. having gone
t!'.,2:.rh Sanpete, and now going west
lrUm SpringVille, has killed the town
and it cannot be resurrected. A yisl-
tor there yesterday during a couple OF
hours IN the portion OF the day that
ought to be the bussiestSaw ten persons
on the street, not more, out of which
We're two customers to the most popu-
lar store, one of whom purchased a
spool of cotton, and the other package
of cigarettes. The only thing in or
near the town that has any life in it
whatever is Democracy and that is
strong, and in tibet fight to win. The
only enemy they have is the Liberals
located in Tintic, and over there is "A
very strong Democratic club. From
he evidence to date also, it is fore
gone conclusion that there is going to
be much scratching done on the Liber-
al ticket.
Diphtheria is prevalent i'll Nephi
just at present.
Three merchandi se houses in Ntp"i,
Wright & McCune, j. w. Paxman and
Grace Brothers, are very seriously con-
siderting the propriety Of cOnsolidat-
ing, and letting one man do the work
necessary III the transaction of the
business now being done by the three
houses, the managing, clerking, book
keeping and sweeping out, thus saving
in salaries and rent. Gentle readers,
shed tear for the lost glory of
Nephi
1t is said that within month Nephi
viii have another newspaper, and
small plant is now laying at the depot,
having been shipped there from
Brigham city. Newspaper men always
take desperate chances.
AT BENJAMIN.
The people OF Benjamin had an en-
thusiastic Democratic rally Tuesday
night The brass band played in front
of the store, and at half-past eight the
people filled the hall above. The chair
man, amid great applause, introduced
John ID. Irvine, the Democratic candi-
date for the next legislature, as the
first speaker.
Mr.. Irvine, ina clear, concise speech,
showed that the tariff was tax which
fell heavily on the farmer and the
working classes, while it only touched
the rich, and their luXuries lightly.
Mr.. Theo. NJ. SamuelsOn was intro
duced AS the next speaker. He said he
did neither have time nor ability to
handle all the intricacies of the tariff
question; but there were two general
he would call attention to.
One was the general struggle to over
come distances and make commercial
intercourse between the nations easier,
if this was right, distractions in the
line of heavy custom duties were wrong.
And if mankind were progressing
toward freedom AMI liberty, the CEN
of larger power in the gov
eminent Was wrong.
AT MIDWAY.
I noticed in your issue of Friday
the following local paragraph
pertaining TO Wasatch county politics:
The Democrats nominated Abe Hatch some
time ago for the Legislature on the ticket, and
now comes the Republicans and endorse him.
Abe will get thar"
Allow me to correct these statements:
lst. There is no organized Republican
party in Provo Valley that has either
nominated OF endorsed Mr.. Hatch for
the Legislature. He was first nOmi-
mated by so-called 'citizeYs> conven-
ton which claimed to have &c regard
to party lines such as are &c nerally
drawn. End. The Democrats endorsed
Mr. Hatch on the 23d, III proper county
with nine votes against,
three for L. NJ Olson, whose name APP
pears in the list OF Democratic nomi-
nees for the Legislature, for reasons
and upon authority not generally, if at
all familiar to Wasatch county Demo-
Gratis. No doubt, abe will get thar"
if he gets a poll in Emery county too
As to this we are yet in the dark.
