to do something in this matter. 1t was
shown to them that the delegation nor
the people could do nothing further
thew could not dictate to the church or
its officers as to something with which
they had nothing to do. Alter while
the church spoke, through its president
and IN no uncertain language. This was
not enough. They said that now they

| don't know how much difference
there is here between the two
national parties, but up our way they
sometimes get so BADLY mixed up that
it is difficult to separate them. You
have heard something tonight. and
YOU have heard much more before OF
the features of difference between the
two parties. One is q party Of the pe0-
pie, q government for the people and bv
the people. The other is government
of the aristocracy-a party that would
have strong government invested
with powers against the citizens, while
the Democratic theory OF government
is that every man has right tn gov
ern himself. Now don't misunderstood
me. | don mean that every man has
a right to be a law unto himself. |
say that the Democratic theory is that
which WAS proclaimed by our patriotic
forefathtrs when they said that all men
have right to be free and that
all men are equal. | say

RES out this idea. The people are
taught corr ct principles, and then
thev govern themselves. They Will
govern themselves by living within the
law. just as your children govern them
selves when YOU teach them the law OF
your household. And there we come to
the great question OF difference he
tween us and the Republican party III
regard to the strong government. As
YOU have heard here tonight, they
would have a government the strength
OF which rested in cannons and bayn-
nets. We would have a strong govern
ment, the strength OF which rests upon
the love and loyalty OF the citizens.
Applause. How is it III your families?
DO YOU want your children to obey you
because they fear you or because they
love YOU? The distinctive feature be-
tween the two parties is, one says we
must rule with an iron hand;
the other SAYS we must let the
people rule themselves they are the
sovereigns and must be taught what is
right, an then they Will do what Is
right, because it is right when the par
ent government gives to them their
full quote of rights, Liberties and priv
ileges. (Applause.1 Instead of writ

An OVERLOOKING MEETING.
The Opera House being inadequate
to the demands OF the crowds of Dem
ocrats last night an impromptu meet
ing was held in front of the cosmopoli
tan Hotel. The drum corps was in
attendance, and the audience was
larger than that of the Republican
rally at the Courthouse.
A. d. Cash was the first speaker, and
he fred some hot shot into the ranks
of the Republicans. The prime pies OF
Democracy We're intermingled with tie
constitution and the adoption of the
National flag. He dweit at some
length on the platforms of lie two
great parties, showing that the Re
publican believed in unjust taxation
while til Democrats fought against it.
The Republicans raised the tariff
which had caused the mOnCpolists
to grow richer, and the
poor, poorer Taxing one party at
the expense of the other was grossly
wrong. The speaker proved conclusive
" that the farmers were being robbed
bv high tariff and that the farmer as
well as the labor markets suffered from
it. The speaker then referred TO Gods
green earth because he loved that part
of the earth where green verdure grew
and bounteOus nature spreads her low
ing hands, better than he liked that
part of the earth above timber line,
where only such animals grew as that
which edited the Republican organ of
this city. Tremendous applause. The
speaker then took up the war OF the
rebellion and talked at some length
showing that all north of Mason and
Dixon line fought fer the Union ire
spertive of party affiliations. The south
fought in the war simply because they
thought they were right. Three
tifths OF the soldiers OF the
north for the first two years
were Democrats, and 81 ont OF 20 gen
erals in the war were Democrats. He
paid high tribute TO the generals OF
north.
Judge W. \. DuSenberry, the Demo-
cratic stalwart. followed with ringing
speech. He stated that the eyes OF the
nation We're turned upon Utah. hoping

Royal A. Barney was the mex
speaker, and the way he fired into the
Republican ranks was well received.
