AT AMERICAN FORK.
The meeting which took place on
Monday at American Fork surpassed
all previous efforts of the Democrats
there The band was accommodated
in a wagon profusely decorated with
the national flags and streamers. They
paraded the streets for some time and
then played in front of the hall. The
hall was crowded to overlooking. On
the platform was noticed the following
gentlemen, viz: On the right, \.
Dunkley, Sen, Mr.. Dunkley, Jr., E.
Hunter, Judge John Peters, and at
their side the brass band. In the cen
tire was Prof. !. H. Paul. Judge Judd,
Salt Lake, and Judge w. \. Dusen-
berry, the speakers OF the evening. On
the left OF the speakers were II. Bates,
w. w. Jackson, John Mcneil, Jed
Mercer, Joe Lapish, A. Greenwood,
/ Mayor Cunningham, Mr.. RonleZ, Mr..
] Sprattley, of American Fork There
were also present from Lehi: \. J.
Evans, Prime Evans, y. b. Anderson,
j. B. Gaddie and others.
The first speaker was Judge Dusen-
/ berry. lie apologzed for the way the
good people of the Fork had been used,
and said he had just come down from
| Provo as one Of the central committee
Of the county, TO see this time that the
goods that had been ordered were de
llvered. He was happy they had come
10 hand at last. ! week hence would
be the greatest day in the history of
this terIitory-a day that Americans, all
over the Union were watching. Such
men as Grover Cleveland, Mills, Hill,
Carlisle and others were awaiting the
event keenly.
He was sure that ere long, If not now,
| Utah would be admitted as a Demo-
cratic state, He hoped that those who
had not made up their minds would
be convinced this evening what side to
stand by.
Judge Judd was then called on. He
said he meant to dwell on the funda-
mental principles OF Democracy. He
wished to appeal to their reason and
judgment. He did not have any i'll
feelings towards those who differed with
him. There were but two governments,
a monarchial and Democratic. He CON
traSted both governments, and said the
Democratic party was a government of
the people and for the people He made
an illustration of a family, showing
that if there was Partially there would F.!
not be equity.
There was a great fight going on now |
and the same fight was engaged in at /
the time of Jefferson. Some would say
that the country never can be ruled by 4
Democracy. People take to Democ- !
racy because they love liberty De- /
mocracy Is the only party who care for
the poor. The speaker touched little |
on the tariff, and said we were all will /
ln2 20 receive a revenue from the tariff |
WITH which to pay for running the ma /
chlaery OF the government, but we did /
not want protection Tor one class TO the |
injury OF another.
Why not protect the plowman as /
well as the wool grower? Democracy
does not believe in one class having
more protection than another. He |
passed, the central government would
had the controlling power over cleo
tons and made all election Judges cleo
tive for life. He said in few short
years Utah would be state. and we
would form part OF this great country
The Republicans believe That the peo-
pie are not able to rule. He said it
was predicted by no less authority than
Blaine, that if the Republicans had
lost the last campaign they would not
have been in power again in % years
The speaker then dweltat great length
on what the Republicans did in the
way of DISTINGUISHING the white people
of Louisiana and letting carpet bag
gers carry the polls, and mentioned
Idaho and other places where the peo-
pie have been tyrannized over.
Prof. j. H. Paul was the next speaker,
and made rafting speech on the
effect OF the tariff on the labor produc-
ing community. He said that % per
cent of the population of this country
had to pay tax indirectly on every
thing they used, even to the Holy
Bible, ii they happened to be possessed
OF one. He also showed illustrations
of the implements which were manu-
featured in this country, the prices the
farmers here paid and the prices at
which they were put on board TO be
sold in foreign parts, showing in many
cases that the farmer here had to pay
double what his foreign neighbor had
to pay for the same articles. He chal-
lenged anyone of his protective friends
present to question what he said. Only
three questions were asked, all OF which
were answered seemingly to the salts
faction of the people present Dur
ing his speech he was frequently ap-
plauded. even by Republicans present,
Tor his mastery and straightforward re-
marks.
