REPUBLICAN, MEETING.
With the assistance of two bands, a
drum corps and 1ambeau club the Repub-
licans succeeded in getting a fair attend
ance at the opera house to hear John
Henry tell how very good the Republican
party had been TO the Latter-day Saints.
George Sutherland called the meeting to
order and informed them that Reed
Smoot would be the next mayor of Provo.
The gentleman came forward and at
tempted TO give the causes for the sue
cesses and failures of the American gov
eminent. The chief cause OF the successes,
in his opinion, was the nigh tariff, and the
failures were due to the free trade of the
Democrats. Out of curiosity many Demo-
Gratis attended and made up a very re-
spectacle looking audience. The name of
Judge Dusenbury, which was mentioned
by MIR. Sutherland, was greeted by a Wig
orous round of applause.
j. e. Booth made an attempt at humor
and the boys in the gallery applauded him.
John H. Smith then came before the
auditors and insinuated that with the Demo-
Gratis in power, the Provo Wooden mills
would be closed down. He said he did not
care how much they call him demagogue,
he was going to tell how the Democratic
party had prosecuted the Mormon people
He would have gone to the pen under
Growers administration if he had no. been
cowardly enough to keep out OF the way
and then remarked: DO you want any
lis the man who preserved to you what
liberties you have"
j. w. n. Whitecotton, who was intro
duced as "hard combination" then floun-
dered through disconnected speech.
MASQUERADE BALL.
What is acknowledged to be the grandest
event of the gay season was the select mas
querade ball given at the opera house on
Friday night. A more brilliant and beauti
full collection of society people could have
scarcely been gotten together The dress
and first circles were well filled with ad
miring guests who applauded the various
characters as they were introduced by
King Carnival, who was impersonated by
Reed Smoot. That gentleman acted his
part handsomely. There were the grand
and gaudy, and there were ludicrous charac-
tiers who brought out expressions of mlrth
from the spectators. The masked charac-
tiers danced the fast-heeting moments away
until the hour OF IL, when they gathered
about the floor to witness the awarding of
prizes Tor the best represented characters.
Several were balloted upon by the Judges
Geo. S. Taylor, j. d. Jones, Mrs. Annie At.
kins, Emily Moore and Mrs. Robt. skelton.
and the result was the rendering of the
gold headed umbrella to Mrs. Monahan.
