This makes a man what the man ought

wisdom. Think of it and consider IT.

That is why you must dig into the inul-

him and the government grows
higher and higher, and progress and civil

When Senator Wallace concluded, there
were loud calls for MIR. Rawlins, and that
gentleman finally came for ward. He said /:

states that were painted white. One was
the state of Vernon where he was
born; another was the state or
Michigan, where he spent the greater
part Of his life, and the third was
Utah, where he was then speaking.
Laughter am glad that Republican
admits that Utah is white. But he would
have you believe hat Vermont and Michi-
gan are white because OF the protective
tariff and Republican supremacy there.
Utah certainly is not white because OF the
fact that in the thirty years that the Re-
publicans have Lad control OF the govern
ment, they have never given the people OF
Utah an acre Of land for educational pur-
poses, nor expended one cent for this
cause. Before the Republican party was
heard Of the people came to Utah, and be-
fore the high tariff was heard OF, they di-
verted the streams from the channels and
poured the water over the lands. They
built school houses and to the united
efforts Of the people of Utah
alone are we indebted for
what educational advantages we possess

voted some time to discussing the tariff
question and scored some good points.
Coming on to local affairs, Mr.. Rawlins
said: There are certain people here to-day
who say that We ought not TO discuss these
questions, and claim that 1t is little less
than treason for US to do. while for you to
listen to US is an outrage. They say
that we should not educate the people, but
should continue TO dwell on the
animosities of the hour. They wish
the conditions TO remain unchan yed
until such time as they can
deprive large number of our citizens of
the right to vote. They tell US we must
not do this thing, because If you elect the
that can be stigmatiZed, this territory will
be admitted as Democratic state. This is
q delusion, an appeal TO your preiudices.

moorings in order that by some arbitrary
and reasonable act they may override a
majority of the people of this territory,
and thus ride rough shod into power and
into infamy. Applause. To-day the
emergency is such that every Democrat
must have his shoulder to the wheel
and strike hands with the Democracy
OF the nation. II would be

that this government, from its inception
has detested disfranchisementl Political
degradation is obnoxious 10 every free
man and it will not be tolerated except
when there Is ground for it. When the
who would throw them back has no instinct
of humanity in his breast and has no regard
for his pretenses made in tho past He is q
bastard and a coward and ought not to
have the support OF single man. (Ap-
plause.) Wise men elevate the women and
drag up the sufferers from the gutter and
the dens OF infamy. But when
the people come TO pass on this question in
August they viii speak in no uncertain
tone. Loud applause Who do they
rely upon for this triumph. BY co-opera-

Applause. Old men whose heads were
silvered had so conducted themselves that
they ought to be branded as unworthy OF
the confidence OF any man in this broad
land. The career OF these men. whose
faces were turned from the light and to

But they said let US eat and make merry
