Hoary Headed sophistry Hurled at a Mass
Meet;as-:>=Ssss Of All Kinds.
The Republican rally held here last
Wednesday evening was almost an exact
counterpart of the Democratic rally of a
few nights previous, 30 far as the street
parade was concerned, but indoors the G..
o. p. was simply not in it.
The speakers, previously annou nced in
The HERALD, were Frank j. Cannon
and George Sutherland, who were intro
duced by Chairman Hague as young Utah
boys which as afterwards conceded to
be their only redeeming feature SO far as
political influence is concerned.
Mr.. Sutherland expounded Republican,
ism on the old, old plan Of claiming every
thing and conceding nothing. He reared a
beautiful protection structure lin his mind),
written treatise on which would very
properly be styled "The Foundationless
Inn" or IA Castle in the Air.'' In
short, his part IN the farce was
concluded in two acts. in one
of these, his listeners were electrified with
the startling G assertion that all the good
which ever accrued to the American people
came through and by the consent of the
Republican party, and Furthermore that all
W
party. 1t seems that we have heard that
assertion before. After waving the bloody
shirt few times the speaker took his seat
with q wonder-i if they-believe- any Oft
expression on his counteuance
MIR. Cannon then pranced upon the stage
and with a genuine Delsarte bow and geo
metrical sweep of the lily white hand pro-
ceeded to TRY and please the boys" Like
the former speaker, he presumed that the
audience would accept that unsupported
yet oft-repeated claim of the G. O. D. that
Democratic supremacy means pauper
wages, hard times and general disaster.
and upon that rock GU he did build
mis- protection castle. Having nothing
more TO tell the people about Americans,
Mr.. Cannon led them over to Europe, and
alter beaping ell the European wrongs
upon the Democratic party, deliberately
read from his ''scrapboOk" some statistics
which showed that those wicked free
traders in England actually paid female
blacksmiths from forty 10 fifty dollars a
year more than they would be forced to
take for like services in any protected
country on that continent.
NOTES.
Two more OF such campaign rallies and
