THE ADDRESS OF THE TUscARoRA SOCIETY.
adopted on January s, 1897. in this CITY, we de-
clare that: Knowing the situation here
thoroughly, We demand OF the Democrats
abroad who DO not understand it. that they
shall permit US 10 adhere to the ancient Demo-
cratic doctrine OF Hone Rule and keep their
influence where 1t it will do no harm.
Whatever comes, We serve notice that we Go
not propose TO De read out of the national
Democratic party simply because we do not
feel that the time has come to place the polit-
ical power OF tnls territory within the reach OF
the church The Democracy of the marion
should keep its hands OF, and let us fight ont
our own SalvaLlon.
In conclusion. we coll attention TO the fact
that the conduct OF the usurpers is subversive
of all party organization and discipline Their
title is but rope Of sand we declare it to be
the duty of all true Democrats TO uphold and
support the regular committee and to seek rep
reservation IN the regular Democratic conyen-
ton for this territory which meets in Salt
Lake city on May p next.
(Signed) W. c. HALL, Chairman.

Committee on address appointed by the Demo-
cratic territorial committee
AT the conclusion of the reading large
part of the audience went out. but amid
the confusion Mr. Ogden Hiles moved the
adoption OF the report of the COMMITTEES,
which was declared to be the sentiment of
the meeting.
The chairman then introduced
c. &. GLENN,
who said:
"The horizon of Utah has been clouded
with different political clouds-Mormon
Democrats and Mormon Repu blicans, but
behind 1t oil IS the blue sky of Liberalism.
Our chairman has called your attention TO
the convention Of 1855, and I will not fol-
low it down 10 the day when the Western
Car sat IN MS chair at the meeting of the
committee few days ago and dictated who
should take part in its proceedings. Four
years ago Merritt aud Norrell, and many
of their followers, were Liberals, as we
are now. II they had right to repudiate
the Democratic party, haven't we the right
to repudlate them? Applause. Have
they right to ssy who shall be recognized
any more than we haye?"
The speaker then drew comparison be.
tween the attempt on the part of Senator
Malone, OF Virginia. to carry the Re- ad-
juster party over to the Republican, and
the attempt OF Merritt ct al. in trying to
carry the Liberal Democrats over to the
old Peoples party. ''These men. the COM
mittee who sign this address, Ferry, Duke,
Hall, ct al, nave chain of title which is
shown by the abstract to be perfect, and
hence we are not here to argue but 10 assert
that we represent the true Democratic sue
cession.h
The chairman then announced that some
resolutions had been prepared expressive
OF the sentiment of the meeting, which
were read by Mr. Walter Murphy, setting
forth: Fealty to the Democratic party; de-
nying the right of any faction to read them
out OF the party declaring opposition to a
division IN sparty lines; recognizing tho
persons named as the regular committee
and approving their course; while admit
ting that many of the Peoples party are
sincere IN their wish to cast off church
domination, yet feel that duty demands
that they must be sure of the complete sec
ulariSation before parting with those of
the Republican party who are like minded
and consenting to statehood
The resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed, and the chair introduced Mr. Newton,
who briefly addressed his fellow warriors
and he was succeeded by Mr.. J. B. Ander-
son in short tribute to Jefferson and
jackson, after which the chairman woke
up from nap, and, looking round, called
on
JUDGE POWERS
who made oneof his usual characteristic
talks, sprinked with boquets and lilies of
the valley, glowing tributes to Utah and
her silver grit mountains. and planting the
standard OF country above party. 1--WE
will dlv1de,n he said when there is no
longer an irrepresslble conflict. This is
the regular organization, and to say that
we must be ostracized is to say that we
must become slaves, and that is undemo-
cratic. Our party believes in home rule
and that the people living here should say
what they want. But if we are ostracized
we have right to live here, and we can't
be laughed down."
The doors of the club were then thrown
open and two new names added to the list.
