the Visitors Last Evening-At
Other Places


1.-THE Battle Hymn of the Republic" the
sspeciar' under the fayoring care Of
Charles E. Ingalls,, travelling passenger
agent of the Union Pacific, and Conductor
G. F. Hinkle pulled into Sandy about sun
down yesterday. After brief "serenad-
ing stop" At the smelter, where ex. Coy
ernor West added a short and enthusiastic
talk TO the music Of tho band, the Demo
cratic pilgrims were gladly welcomed by
the local committee and extended the Tree
dom of the town.
The Norden band Of fourteen pieces
from Salt Lake. under the leadership OF
Anton Petersen, paraded the town and
suburbs, and soon the entire population
for several miles around gathered In TO
hear Democratic doctrine expounded.
The large fieecy wings OF Burton's snow
tent soon attracted the eye of the ora
tors and in compliance with the rule laio
down by Sergeant 5. Prentiss--of never
attempting to talk against circus-ar-
rongements were speedily made for divi-
sion Of time and sharing Of tent accommo'
dations, the first hour being devoted to IN
programme as laid out by the itinerant
hippodrome, and the balance Of the evening
to the expounders OF the faith. The com
bination worked like charm, and never
before has Sandy seen SUCH Q crowd, aud
we venture the prediction that no more
attentive and interested crowd ever listened
to takers on the political topics OF the
day.
| Upon calling the meeting to order MIR.
William Olsted was unanimously chosen to
preside and introduced the speakers in the
following order:
Hon. Z. G. Woolley presented his ex-
cuse upon "a first appearance In circus
and addressed himself TO the question OF
the necessity and propriety OF party divi,
sion on national lines. He congratulated
the people upon the prospective good 10
come from q cessation OF the old fight on
the issues of the past and the era OF good
fellowship which would follow. he
touched briefly upon the distinctive char
acteristics Of the TWO parties, urged al MS
old friends to study well their principles
and as to the results he felt no apprenen-
| sion.
Mr.. c. M. Nielsen found many familiar
faces in the audience to lend interest and
encouragement to the cause under consid-
GRAFTON. He congratulated his country
men and former fellow members OF the
Peoples party upon the fact that he could
now stand before them and advocate the
principles Of the greatest OF the national
parties. 1t was for such liberty ne had
left his native land, and now that the op-
portunity was presented he saw the reali-
cation of his early hopes. He urged con
sideration upon all, and thought the best
means OF aiding the poor men OF this coun-
try was to secure the triumph OF Demo-
cratic principles.
Hon. f. ii. Dyer said that it afforded
him much pleasure to maze good the TOO
long deferred promise TO Sandy, and he
appeared only to talk principles, the oppor-
tunity for which had not always been
presented in the past. When he came
| TO this territory he was surprised to
find the marked difference in political af-
fairs, and had long hoped 10 see the pres
emit condition inaugurated- He allied him
self TO the party which opposed the then
recognized practices of the dominant ones,
and the union Of church and state; and as
soon as these Objectionable features were
given up, he had insisted upon an align
ment on u national party basis-all honor
to the Peoples party for the stand they
have taken-and as a business man, one
largely interested in the growth OF the ter
ritory and its highest possible develop
ment, he believed 1.-The greatest good TO the
greatest number could be achieved by
burying the old strife and all uniting for
the common good. With such a country
and an honest and industrious people there
was nothing to preclude Utah from taking
first rank.
A. q. Norrell was laboring under most
severe indisposition, and came only to as
sumo the blame OF the previous disappoint-
ment aud to add brief word OF cheer. He
outlined the distinctive characteristics OF
the two national parties, spoke OF the
danger to our country should the prime pies
embodied in the force bill ever become
recognized as law. He recognized author
ity as from the people and any other plan
only tended to enrich the ''reigning party
more firmly in power and place. The peo-
ple,must be masters and the ONCE holders
only their servants. ANY other doctrine
would tend to subyert our Tree institu-
tons.
w. II. Cassidy devoted full hour 10 g
discussion of the tariff-in its several
branches-and by comparative tables fulli
demonstrated the fairness of the position
OF the Democracy in the last two Con
crosses. He showed that the ''stop thief
cry-with which the Republicans were at
tempting to brand the Democrats as ''fref
traders''-was without any foundation
and that only an ''ignoramus or rascal
would attempt such arguments. His re-
marks were interspersed with numerous
anecdotes that tended 10 relieve the dry
ness Of the theme. With brief aliusior
to silver and its characterization by the Re
ublican party, and a glowing tribute Il
the future greatness OF Utah, he yielded
the platform.
? Ex-Governor c. w. West closed the exer
cises OF the evening with g brief outline Of
the party policy which had heretofore

which had brought the old parties into ex
istence no longer required their maincen
ance, he could now stand on the same plat
form with the men who had been franz
and honest enough to come out ana asser
