honestly say that we cannot rely on the
conscience and honesty of these people who
are clamoring for a change. when all these
years the Liberals have said as soon as the
Peoples party are ready to change
the conditions they are ready 10
unite on national party lines, and
yet they come out and fear the honesty of
these people Every revolution that has
happened through all the annals of history
has been questioned to some extent. There
is always some one to oppose the move
ment so this change is not an exception.
The Liberal party in Weber county is in
favor of the disfranchisemert of every
Not one of the candidates on that
ticket dares TO come out and say
he is not opposed to it. BY
the evidences by which they are conduct
ing this campaign, they would disfran-
chise every one who is not in sympathy
with the Liberal party and place Us IN sucn
a position that we would be taxed without
representation They don't want you 10
have any voice in making this government,
but only make you pay the taxes.
1.-The Liberal party says they favor an
appropriation of $4,000 to advertise the
resources OF Ogden. 1 have no objection
to that, but l believe such restrictions
should be put on it that the governor of
Utah would not have his fingers in il, as
he is not friend of Ogden. Another
thing in regard to this appropriation
They say they want to advertise Utah
with this money. But today the papers
upholding Liberalism are printing edito-
rails to the effect that should Democrat
or Republican win, the Mormons are in
power. Perhaps with the literature they
would seed out to advertise Utah, copies
of these papers would go along with them.
What would people abroad think of this
Of -.
In regard 10 legislative work Mr. Evans
said: 81 do not believe statute books
should be encountered with useless laws.
i believe that no law should be passed but
what is consistent with public good. i be-
lieve the services of the Utah commission
should be dispensed with. Applause
believe that they are not conducting the
affairs of Utah as they should. There is a
lien law which q man mad passed, and who
wishes 10 be reelected TO the legislature,
believe the laborer should be projected
first, material man second and the contrac-
tor third. The laborers whom the contrac-
tor has hired should have their money first
of all. Next, the material man should be
paid, because the contractor arranged with
him at his own risk, and then the contrac-
tor should have ms interests cared for. This
law could be made plain, but as it is we
have law that is so complicated that law
yers cannot understand IL"
Mr.. Evans thought that the wages of the
workingman VINO has large family to sup
port should be exempt from garnishemenI,
and believed eight hours was enough for
one days work.
II. II. Henderson was next introduced
and spoke briefly.
Prof. T. b. Lewis spoke next, aud was
followed by Hon. II. =. Henderson, who
rendered one of his ringing speeches which
are always composed OF good, solid and con-
vincing Democratic doctrine. He read a
communication from II. W. Smith,
who was expected TO speak but
was unavoidably detained on legal bust
ness in Blackfoot, Ida. Mr.. Smith defined
his position on local affairs and stood firmly
for party division.
Judge Henderson spoke for fully an hour
and every word he uttered went into the
Liberal and Republican ranks like hot shot
TO see his speech printed in full,
it was such grand discourse" He
spoke on all local issues so SPLEEN
didly that he gained innumeraD!e
strength for the Democratic ticket
which will surely come out of the held
with sweeping victory tomorrow. Those
who failed TO attend last nights rally
missed the grandest event Of the campaign.
Democratic headquarters nave been es-
taolished for to- morrow in the south room
of the Grand opera house block on Wash
ington avenue.
