TOO SOON

6 central committee selected, that an ad-
tournament then be taken until Oct 10.
Mr.. Hull raised the point Of order that
tie motion could not De entertained until
permanent organization had been effected
and moved TO lay the motion on the table
pending the report OF the several COM
mittees. Agreed TO.
The several committees then retired and
the delegates began to call for speeches
from favorite takers. After repeated In
vitation
HON. JOSEPH L. RAwLISs
came forward and said.
am somewhat surprised as we'll as pleased
to see so many OF our party in this convention.
1t means that our party has aroused itself 10
the situation. IL means that each Democrat
viii do his duty 1t means that We viii cast
the Republican party TO that oblivion to which
il ought 10 sink. The Republican party in 1876
had told the negro OF the south that il Tilden
was elected the negro would be put back into
slavery but Il Garfield were chosen each one
would have a mule and forty acres Of ground.
The same story was repeated in 1884. but Mr..
Cleveland was elected lapplausel, and yet the
black race are fvrther from slavery than ever
though they may not all have secured the
mules. and they are fast awakening To the fact
that their true friend is the Democratic party
Now this same party comes 10 Utah and tells
the people that the welfare and the success
o. domestic industries depends on keeping that
party in power. so that everything we raise
will bring higher price to the seller and a
lower price to the buyer Laughter that the
thicker and general era OF prosperity be in
sugurated.
The nominee for delegate on that ticket has
been introduced 10 the public as one who was

mote we had no luxnries and even few neces-
saries brought in by the prairie schooner

tariff in the shape OF high freight

shores from England laden with foreign goods
