Hon. Chauncey f. Black was the first
speaker OF the evening. He said in sub
stance:
II gives me much pleasure 10 be at last in
U tan, which is destined at some near day to be
great commonwealth in Utah. We have
reached you after long and weariSome
lou. ney, during which we have faced the De-
mocracy OF vast territory, and we have re-
ce1ved encouragement wherever we have been,
and we will carry this news back east with us.
IN Montana We were received by the Demo
cratic committees of Montana, which state
through their endeavorS, is about to give a
grand Democra ic victory. In California sec
uonallSm is FAST dying out, and she is marching
| bravely forward under the Democratic revival
with hopes OF victory and now we have

Democratic state. Applause.l
Twas thinking, as l crossed the Dakotas, how
wrong il is to tax you people out here for the
useless coast defenseS that we hear such a
clamorlng about. 1t only gives employment to
extensive contractors. The Republicans tell US
We must have navy to defend U.s. and That
very navy would be ONE rotten before we need
1t. This country will not fight any more with
navy that day is past. 1t is money that will
fight our future wars and money viii fight
great wars.

that enables ours to turn out double that OF any
