MIR. DYER'S REMARKS.
Hon. +. H. Dyer was the first speaker
introduced by the chairman. AS usual, he
was greeted with loud applause. He re-

he never tired of doing good work for the
Democrats. II would give half 1 am
WORTH" he said, ''if could stand up before
you and make such eloquent speeches on
Democratic principles as some of my
friends can. The time has arrived when il
is the duty of all to come out of the old
parties and join the new. A spirit of good
feeling and fellowship has swept over this
Territory and brighter day has dawned
upon US. Utah numbers among her people
some Of the most loyal and patriotic citi-
zens on the face of the globe. The only
difficulty is they have been misrepre.
senIed."

great victory for Democracy.
''HIs JOKES ARE HARMLESS"
S. A. Kenner was the next speaker, and
as the chair introduced him he stated that
the audience might rest easy, his jokes
were entirely harmless. Mr.. Kenner said
Baskin declared the other night that he
saw no reason why the Liberal party
should blsband, but he saw many reasons
why the Peoples should. 1.-The Tribune
following up the same line says some of US
have been set apart to be Democrats and
some Republicans. | have been set aside 70
be Democrat pure and simple. (Applause.)
More than a majority of US have been set
apart to be members of the same party.
For years l have been talking Democratic
politics mixed more or less with religion
and this course has not met the hearty ap-
proval OF some high officials of the church
In fact If you should ask John Henry
smith he would be decidedly against me"
lApplause.) Mr.. KeDner next took up and
thoroughly discussed some alleged Repub-
ncan doctrine and his usual witty and cut
ting dealing with the subject met with
hearty applause and much merriment.
Some complaint has been made OF the
manner IN which the Republican apostles
and presidents OF stakes are being dealt
with. L believe that John Henry Smith is
a Republican from belief, but when he
comes down from his ecclesiastical perch
and joins the rank and file. he like all Re-
publlcans Is my meat and we will down
them one and all. loud applause The
same may imply to those who use church
authority to spread political principles
JUDGE NoRRELL WAS THERE.
Judge Norrell said he was proud of the
fact that through all the years of his resi-
dQnnl in fol ho h,l
tell his friends that he did not belong to
the Liberal party and only claimed one
party and religion, Democracy. The blood
OF his forefathers for ages had tingled at
the sound OF that blessed name. Continu-
ing he said: ''Of all the scurvy institu-
tons on the face of the earth that persist
emily pokes its nose into other mems bust
ness this Tribune is the worst. Tell me
about church rule Talk to me of ring
rule and church lash, or all the deadliest
un-American, unchristianlike organize
lions which swings into lire its serfs and
followers, this Tribune is the most damned
Cheers. As for Judge Goodwin, the little
scheme which he is running was fully
ventilated, and the speaker related an ac-
count OF how the great" editor crawIed
when little band of Sparten
Democrats demanded last August
TO know how he stood on the Force bin
Local politics were dealt with in a ringing
manner, and the frequent applause told
how the points went home. las John M.
Zane said, the Republican party taxes
everything in sight 1t is the greatest
thief we have to-day and only a short
tlme ago dared to stand up in broad day
light and steal presidency. Applause
The great names of Lincoln, Grant. Sew
ard and others may for a time serve as a
shield Tor Republicanism, but they and the
bloody SHIRT have nearly run their race
and the e. o. p. will soon be numbered with
the things OF the past; viii have crossed
the river and found rest among the trees
Laughter. If the freedom of the coun-
try and the rights OF the people are to be
preserved. the death of the Republican
party must take place. We will all be at
the funeral and shed the tears of bitter
grief" Applause. The Judge took I'D
and answered an editorial in the last issce
OF the Tribune. In the course OF his re-
marks, he said: This sheet declares that
unless the Liberal party is kept intact, and
Itself Kept alive, people will keep away
from here. l tell you that if they will kill
the measly thing half the United States will
come here in two years. Applause. "How
downed Pat Lannan during Cleveland's ad-
when he asked, as a loyal
Democrat, for the Office of United States
for Utah" was the title of a little
anecdote which convuised the audience and
would have made Pats hair .'riz'' had he
been there. In conclusion, Judge NorreIl
asked why the Tribune had never attacked
the platform of the Utah Democracy. IL
attacks everything itknows how to attack.
but not one thing has it had to say regard
ing the glorious principles.
OUR CITY TREASURER.
j. B: Walden followed, and he congratu- |
ated the Democrats on the movement. He |
considered the Peoples and Liberal parties |

Cheers. Join the Democratic party and
20 Americans, as it is the enemy of dis.
and the friend OF personal
liberty"
