was not ripe for organization. In the early
posed to strike the blow for liberty, there

not ripe.
A voice-How do you know thatl
Ihe speaker know 1t because all Re-
publicans read the history of their country.
| Cheers. 1t might be now as it was then
that II the movement was delayed, it would
result IN turning the strongholds over t.
the enemy. If the Republicans did theil
duty. they would see that Republican clubs
were organized in every ward in this city
and in every town in this territory, so thai
such fallacles as were enunciated at the
Democratic meeting on Tuesday night
might be understood.
HARRY M'cALLUM
bobbed up out of the amen corner and in q
weak voice said: Il hope that every Re
publican In this house will keep his seat anG
allow them to carry out their set pro
gramme."
C. E. ALLEN,
after several efforts, got footing on the
moor and was recognized by the chair.
II nave as much respect for the men a,
Inc mead or this movement" said Mr.. Allen
as can have for any man who is mis-.
taken. When the man who has opposed me
on every question of material interest to
the party tries to bind me am not to be
bound by his action. Is it wisdom at this
luncture to divide on party Gnes9 History
teaches me that no majority yields to the
minority. You prepare to put the Republi-
can party in the hands Of the phalanxes OF
l2,0O0 opposition. The enlightenment which
mas come to Salt Lake and Ogden has not

"Have they had the education?" inter
jecteG a voice,
"Ihey have not had the opportunity OF
rubbing up against the ungodiy gentle, ,,
repIled the speaker with ungodly wisdom.
"Mr. Critchlow admits,n asserted Mr..
Allen, that this will hurry on statehood.
Do we wantit?''
The voices Of Eyes" and ''no" were pretty
equally divided.
Have you made any bargain?" asked
the speaker, directing his remarks to the
men on the stage.
An emphatic "No' broke out.
The speaker that preceded me-" con-
tlnued Allen, "said you would organize
whether or no. Am l rights"
I'VE propose to carry this meeting. ~
spoke up voine on the platform, and the
audience again yelled, giving Allen the
laugh.
ut did seem to me that when L saw sew
enty five to hundred men get into the
galleries when had to stand out in tho
ram that 1t wasn't exactly q square deal.
Free Republicans will not stand it." said
Mi. Allen as he took his seat in disgust,
making his threat to bolt the meeting then
and there.

and when the opposition tried to cry him
down ne lashed them back to their places
like so many cattle.
when the Democratic party organized
they all came in like sheep" said young
Zane in lingo style, "but when we 90 to
organize we do 1t with hammer and tongs.
Just look at US, all of US reasonable men. ~
The speaker was here interrupted and
lost the thread, but he finally caught on
and continued:
wv hen any man says that we have made
bargains he lies" This lick struck Asses.
sor Clute,. VINO curled up in his seat,
clenched his hands and grew red in the
face. 1--WE have come here to meet the
Democratic party like men. You NAV
cruelty US to-day, but we will be the
prophets of the future" Great applause
Il saw statement made in q morning
paper by man who claims to be a reput
aole man that it was a crime to organize the
Republicans. When the grand Republican
party was first organized we took in wings,
we took Liberty men, we took everythin
we could lay our hands on. Tremendous
cheering The object of the Republican
party is to raise men to the highest plane of
citizenship. There is no man who is an
American citizen who is not fit to ioin the
republican party. Bot there are men here
who say, L am holier than thou" TGreat
laughter.
Harry McCallum's packed DULLES kept
up spch racket that young Zane had to
stop for some minutes. Spotting Mccall
lum in the audience, Zane coolly asked.
MIR. McCallum, will you keep your friends

at Harry's expense. Voices demanded Zane

Utah; am getting there with both feet.n
exclaimed the young Damosthenes.
the Liberal party is already divided,n
be said. 1--WE came here to make the best
OF the division. We cannot even start
Republican party without being confronted
with bowling mob"

Zane, knocking sClute down with the re-
mark. Il know my name has been the
worst abused name in Utah, and vet these
men say, Come and we are ready to ioin
you. When Democrat strikes at my head
L strike back; we must all strike back. The

W. H. DICKSON
said that this is time when no citizen
hould be afraid to express his honest
sentiments. The questions which we have
been discussing tonight oVershadow all
other questions, and must necessarily be of
incalculable good or evil to ourselves and
children. Hasty conclusions are but the
extremity OF reckiessness and folly. 1t is
said that the Liberal party is already des-
troyed. deny 1t. You can number your
fingers and toes the members of the Demo |
