Henderson called the meeting to order an6

tion, which was received with loud ap
plause. Judge Maginnis spoke quite al
length of the peculiar campaign upon
which we are now entering, and OF the
breaking away from the old issues that
have predominated in Utah. The Judge
brought the house down with applause
when he said that the Republican orators

We, the Democrats of Weber county, in
convention Assem- bled declare:
THAT in our judgment the time has come
when the people should divide upon national
political questions and that the local issues
which have divided and emolItered the people
Of the territory should be forever buried.
That we are unalterably opposed TO the
disfranchisement of any citizen, except for
crime, of which he shall have been first duly
convicted.
3-We are opposed TO sumptuary laws. and
believe that the largest liberty should be left to
Inc citizen consistent with public good.
Ave believe IN the strict enforcement of the
law. proposed and passed by Democratic
House OF Representatives and approved by
Democratic President, Grover Cleveland, re-
peallng the Republican act legaliZing the I'm
portation Of contract labor.
5-We heartily approve the national Demo
cratic doctrine OF local self-government upon
local questions, opposition to monopolies, class
distinction and special benefits
5-We approve the national Den ocratic plat
form OF 1884 wherein it declares: IAN the great
woes of our country have co me because of i'm
ported labor Our fathers made this land the
home of the free for al men approaching our
institutions with energy enough TO bring them
selves here, and such we welcome, but OR
country ought never 10 be lazer- house for the
deportation o. the pauper labor of other coun-|
tries through governmental aid, or the i'm
portation Of the same kind of labor, as in
strument with which capital can debase Ameri-
can working men and woman from the proud
position they now occupy, by competing with
them by imported labor, convict labor, while
al the same time, capital asks and receives pro-
lection of It's interests at the hands of its gov
eminent under guise Of providing for American
labor. This evil, like ali others. finds birth in
The cupldity and selfishness of men The
laoorers demands should be redressed by law
Labor has right TO demand Just share Of the
profits OF its OWL productions"
I've condemn the economic legislation of
the Republican party by which the wealt of
the country Is being concentrated in the hand
OF favored few
S-We demand the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver into money.
