The Dispatch. [volume] (Provo City, Utah) 1891-1895, 1891-02-25

The speaker had no patience with any
party that would advocate the dis
reimbursement of a man for holding
religious opinions adverse to him.
Neither would he vote for man who
would rob another of his political rights
on account Of his religious belief. He
cared not what a man believed in, he
was willing to accord him equal
rights, and would do so until he had
broken some law and had been con-
victed of it. The speaker then COM
pared the platforms of the two
National parties, as adopted at the
last presidential convention Speak
ing on the Republican platform he
said it was as long as the moral law,
it touched on every subject magma
BILE, proposed free whisky and
yet advocated prohibition. The
last Republican platform, reminds
me of the old preacher who was
going to preach a sermon on every
in the Bible. So he met with
his congregation Sunday after Sunday
for five or six Sundays. First he would
read his sermon, take it as his text,
and like many preachers whom have
seen, first he would take a text; second
be would leave it, and third he would
never come back to it again. So the
boys got into his racket and concluded
they would have little fun, so they
stuck two of the leaves of his Bible
together, for the next Sunday, and It
was in that chapter where Noah went
to seek him wife that he happened
to sread for his text that Sunday. So
he read, land Noah went into dis
tant land to seek him wife. She had
auburn hair, dark blue eyes; she wasn
land he turned the fatal leaf )-''one
hundred and twenty cubits long, sixty
cubits wide, and thirty high, taTred
within and pitched without, and made
of Chinese gophir wood" He first
adjusted his eyeglasses, and said,
Brethren we read some where in
King James translation where man
is most wonderfully and peculiarly
made, and | must say that il this is a
vivid description of Sister Noah, that
she was most wonderfully. and pc
culiarily made" Just so with the Re
publican platform, | must say it was
most wonderfully and peculiarly con-
structed.
The speaker wanted the people to
decide that they would not vote for a
party of political robbers, such as the
Republican party is The Republicans
advocated protective system, and d
tariff is not a blessing to the farmers
They want the tariff law higher; yes
let me tell You that they are getting
badly mixed, not only only on the
tariff question, but on every Other
question they undertake to handle.
The Grafton was a very lucid one
and was highly appreciated as wa:
attested by the hearty applause the
speaker received all through the even
ing:
"Dixie" was then played by The
band.
Judge W. n. Dusenberry spok,
Territory, and salt that he belived i
an organization was perfected that ~
would have more democracy than eve,
dreamed of. He allowed to the recen
fight in Ogden for municipal officers
and said when he first read of the goot
people there together, and. putting VI
a Citizens ticket, that he received it a
1.-The handwriting on the wall"
VIM. Pr0bert had never been afraiC
of speaking his mind. He was known
to be man of this kind. He ha,
signed the principles read to- night
because he wanted to, and he did no
care who knew it. He was proud t
say that he was born in q land-( Eng
| land y that boasts one of the bes
| governments the sun ever Shone on
There was not drop of slave blood il
| his veins. and when man talked dis
| REIMBURSEMENT to him, he was on tn
warpath at once. He would fight TO
his freedom, and would teach his Chi
! dTen the same, and he wanted them t
teach their children in turn. He ha
| heard great many talk about bravery
hut he knew one thing, he had defend
ded his home night after night agains
the invasion of Indians, and he wa
ready to do it again. THE speake
was vociferouslY applauded
G. A. Conkling did not care VIII
knew he was Democrat, and b
wanted to see its principles thorough
discussed. He was not in favor o
human slavery, and hoped the countr
had heard the last of it. He wante
to see a good ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
| perfected, and beliYed eventually tn
Peoples party would drop all issues
and affiliate with either one of tn
parties. He looked to see the day com
when Utah would become a grea
Democratic state, and to this end b,
intended to work.
