THE REPUBLICANS
a Well Attended Rally Last
Evening.
The Party OF Hate Receives a Thorough
Roasting by Various
Speakers

Several hundred Republicans assem- bled
in the Federal court room last evening.
q. j. Kenyon called the meeting to or
der
The entrance of Heber NJ Wells was the
signal for burst of applause. Mr.. Ken
yon said it was the G.. o. P. which had
made the country great, and had done little
less than created the world.
THE THREE P's.
The three Republican p's, peace, prog
ress and prosperity, was the banner which
| lead them. ALI circumstances at present
pointed to the rapid dtsin tegration of the
/ Liberal party, and when it came, the sue
ceeding many chapters of history would
| be filled with the achievements of the G..
o. p. in this territory.
o. j. SALISBURY
was called to the chair He said II the
Republicans had not introduced the state
hood bill, the Liberals would have done so.
He advised the Republican party to vote
a pension to Judge Baskin. Such an ar
rangement would be less burdensome on
the public and less expensive to the people.
JOHN t. LYNCH
said he liked to live in a city which was
governed by the moral and law-abiding
people. The last two years. rule had nos
been rule of the better element. Tho
officials had pandered to the lawless, i'm
moral and hobo element.
The Liberal party had very bad REQ
ord and was responsible for the increase in
the number of saloons and gambling
houses and other dens of iniquity In the
city. With H. Nj. Wells for mayor all that
would be changed.
F. B. STEPHENS
said the old man (the preceding speaker)
had given them good advice. True IL was
that the Repeollcan party was not very
numerous but what it lacked in rumb ers it
made up for in the respectability of those
who composed it. Every party, when in
power for long time becomes corrupt.
The Liberal party had become very cor
rupt-S2, 600 had been spent and little
got in return. Very little paving had been
done, very few sidewalks laid, some grad
ing mad been done that is the lowest sides
of the streets had been made still lower
and the higher still Gigher-Doremus alone
knows why. The work has been done by
gangs Of coughing, cOnsumptive, cadaver-
Gus cOnvicts. This was Salt Lake work
for Salt Lake wOrkmen. If the Liberal
ticket was elected, Pat. Lannan himself,
within three months, would hire Governor
, Thomas to kick him because he (Lannan)
had not knocked OFF every man on the
ticket instead Of pulling off only two or
three.
E. B. CRITCHLow
said everybody would be surprised at the
vote which would be cast on Monday. Pol
itlcs was not a mere sentiment. and sue
cess would follow the men who stood up
for a principle. Judge LoOfbourow and
Charles ). Farian, although Republicans
way down in their hearts, were the worst
2 enemies of he Republican party. Varian
! had characterized those who had left the
Liberal ranks as prototypes OF Benedict
Arnold He (Varian) owed all his prefer
ment to the men who now composed the
Republican party. and he had turned
a His action was the action Of a Bendict Ar
mold and deserved the strongest condem-
! nation. The Republican party had forced
the Liberals TO the Acknowledgement of
the sincerity of the MormOns by the intro
: duction of the bill for statehood into Con-
gress. hitherto the Republicans had
! begged for votes, but they would do so no
longer. This was the last time of begging.
I JAMES DEvINE.
The Liberals claimed they were in favor
of the eight-hOur day for Iaboring men,
G but at the same time request for an eight
d hour day addressed to them by the work
o ing men had been totally disregarded.
Charges were made that those who didn't
: belong 20 the Liberal party were not
Jealous for the welfare OF their wives
: families and homes and were not Ameri-
cans. The speaker said his Americanism
was as good rs that of Judge Powers or any
, other man. The charge was a lie and the
9 lips that uttered it were not capable Of
= telling the truth.
,; JOHN NJ. ZANE.
The Liberals laid claim to having done
g untold good to the territory Of Utah, but
e such claims were utterly false. The editor
of the independent sheet known as the
d Liberal organ had let columa
n of their paper to the Republican party.
=, The matter appearing in that column was
II not pleasing 10 some of the patrons of the
paper and the editor had gone
back on his bargain and the
IS Tribune people, much against their will,
had to refund the money. This same editor
was pleased to read him (Zane) a lecture
40 on the duty of gentleman when he knew
- or practiced very little of the conduct.
- Consistency was a jewel and was
d never more valuable than when
"a found in the editor of a newspaper
: 1t was impossible to have good city gov
90 eminent without good, honest men in Of
- fee Pat Lannan had said that the re-
~ porter who reported the ieterview anent
=, karr1ck being dropped from the ticket was
~ a liar. whilst the reporter was a much
~ more honorable man than Pat Lannan.
ARTHUR BROWN.
The men marching as Liberals last night
wore masks because they were ashamed to
be cen in the procession.
1 The banner was good which read, Estate
hood for Americans Only" No statehood
for the hObOs and masked men who were
IN ashamed to be seen in daylight The laat
night of Liberalism was near at
800 hand, and the question now waa
how shall we bury 1t! They had lived for
two short years and the man who had or
oJU ganized the party was of such a character
that when appoint ted TO a public office in
5OO this territory charges of so grave nature
were made against MIN that the President,
who had appointed him, cancelled the APP
Oh pointment, and this man was the founder
ooo of the Liberal party.
gu Witbeck, in the Liberal convention on
6oo Thursday, got on his legs to propose q
resolution to the effect that the Liberia
300 party should disband and he (the speaker)
had that resolution which had been sent tG
oUO him by Mr.. Witbeck, in his hand. But
Witbeck, by the Intervention of two police
men, was prevented from proposing his
resolution. This was a sample of fret
speech as understood by Liberals.
Powers was preparing to sell out ant
quit the Liberal party and return to hii
early love, the Democrats.
Rev lift was a self-supporting in
dustry-that is he was making Lioerall
= and then holding rivival meetings TO con
vert them to his church. The Liberia
party would die on Monday, and Tiff neeC
then hold no more revival meetings.
500 HEBER NJ. WELLS,
who was greeted with applause, made
$40 few remarks and the meeting closed. g
