in appreciation and respect l will
now read to you the principles of our
club, and you will see for yourselves
that they are Jetfersonian doctrines,
pure and simple, and we expect you to
show your approval by endorsing
them. The speaker read the Demo
cratic principles. which were received
with applause). said the time has
come when we must take our position
as a part of the commonwealth of the
United States, by accepting either
Democracy or Repubicanism. When
Democrat goes to Washington he
finds Democratic party; when a Re-
publican goes to Washington he finds
a Republican party; bus, when Peo-
pies party OF a Liberal goes out of
this territory he is completely lost. L
want to see Utah, with all her wealth
and advantages. take Ter place on the
American flag; but Utah is not in a
fit condition to become State, and
will not be until she becomes socially
and politically like the other parts of
the Union. We don't want men to
join US if there are any strings on
them, We don't want men to join us
and then vote either Liberal or Peo-
Pies party; and | want to serve notice
on the Republicans that if they want
to take hand in this fight they had
better be at it, as we intend to st.,rt a
Democratic club in every hamlet if we
can get only five men together l
thank you kindly for your attention.
The speaker sat down amid great
applause.
The Boshard and Pyne brothers
who kindly consented to be present,
here rendered The Star Spangled
Banner, for which they were loudly
applauded.
HON. c. c. RICHARDS:
Ladies and Gentlemen, am pleased
to see so many gathered here, and
thank the Democratic Club for the
kind reception we have received. We
have decided in Weber county that the
time has come when we must divide
on national lines, and I think that at
the next election we will either vote
for Democrats OF Republicans. The
speaker at once went to work and at
tackled the Mckinley tariff bill. lie
stated that for every dollars worth Of
goods the people bought now they only
received s,Xty-SiX cents worth in value
as all merchandise since that bill took
effect had risen from % to 80 per cent
This bill is bu ilding up the ricl
classes and crushing the poor for the
goods do not cost anymore to manu-
factue than they did previous to its
passage. The speaker quoted the prices
of all classes of goods, and showed the
raise in the prices. The whole of Mr.
Richards speech was devoted to tn,
tariff, and was heartily relished by
the vast audience, as was attested by
their applause.

Democratic meeting and you hav,
heard Democratic principles l be
lieye Utah will not only be one of til,
brightest stars in the Union, but vii
be one of the strongest Democrats
States. Loud applausel. \ gentle
man here, no doubt with recollection
of last Noyember's campaign in hi
mind, on seeing me here tonight, tolC
me if | had as many wives as l haC
politics it was time for the grand jur,
to investigate my case. In answer t,
this | would say that l am both PEG
pies party man and Democrat, ant
the only thing that grieves me is tn
fact that John I. Game was no
elected by the Democrats and sen
back as one of that party to Washing
ton. [ believe, however, that 1898 vii
see our candidates all elected on tn
Democratic ticket, and also that Utal
will by that time claim her star on on
country's flag. [Applause.]
