FALLS INTO LINE.
Democratic Ratification at Rays
vile.
Eloquent Speeches. Good Music and Most
Enjoyable Time on Tuesday
Evening.

Il was grand. The Democrats owned
the town last evening and their ratification
and gloritcation meeting at the music hall
ence was present, and the enthusiasm was
unbounded.
Early in the evening the brass band was
OUT and during the meeting they dis
coursed enlivening strains of music.
1t was about 80 when Mayor Stewart
called the assemblage to order and an
nounced that Hon. C. C. Richards, of Og-
den, who had been expected to address the
meeting. had autographed that important
business would prevent him from being
present. He then introduced NJ. b. Iilden,
who spoke at length upon the live issues in
our national politics.
He said that when he came to Utah he
found peculiar state of affairs existing
here. He found q certain class OF indi-
vlduals who, TO hear them tell ii, were
greatly abused. The result of the division
movement is that this class of disgruntled
political aspirante, who refuse TO be recon
ciied, are like lost babes in the woods.
He took up the tariff question and stated
that the class OF woolen goods worn by the
common people of the United States is
still taxed from GO to ITO per
cent. under the pernicious workings of
the Mckinley tariff. Republican tariff
orators will unblushingly assert that this
is benefit to our people, and that the for
egner is the one on whom the tax is levied:
but such is not the case. The consumer is
compelled,to pay this tax, and it is on him
that the burden falls.
Our Republican friends build upon the
suppositlon that If the tariff is removed,
wages will 60 down. The Carnegie steel
works are closed because the workmen
will not submit 10 q reduction in wages
And yet the iron and steel Industries are
the most pampered and protected of any.
The paupers of the old world are brought
here 10 supplant our own workmen be-
cpuse they will not submit TO the reduc-
ton. The farmers, the wealth-producer
of this country, are the ones on whom the
high protective tariff presses the hardest.
In proportion as the tariff has been in
creased, farmers have become less indie
pendent. Pennsylvania. a state which has
been fostered more by q high protective
tariff than any other state in the Union, is
mortgaged to the extent of 20 per cent.
In closing, Mr.. Tilden advised the young
men who were in doubt as to which party
has the pest principles, TO study the points
at issue between them, and he would not
fear the result
Mrs. Sarah Taylor then sang in beau

The chairman then stated that we would
hear from John r. Barnes. who was pres
ent at Chicago where the Tuscaroras
were forged to bury their hatchels, and
where the next president and yice-presi-
dent were nominated Applause.
MIR. Barnes said he did not feel able to do
justice TO rstifying the nominations of the
men VINO will lead the Democratic party
to victory in observation-disclosures Cleve-
In, 1fuiE A
In q graphic manner the speaker then
related the principal events of interest
which happened while en- route to Chicago.
Arrived at Chicago a meeting of the repre-
sentatives Of the straight Democracy was
called, and the unanimous feeling was:
I'VE will have full recognition or moth
ing.n When the case was laid before tina
credentials committee on its proper merits
Henderson and Game were given the seats,
and thus was first accorded TO Utah it's
proper political recognition from the great
national party. Democracy in Utah is
triumphant" Applause
Continuing, Mr.. Barnes said he firmly
believes Cleveland will be elected in
Novem Der. With this great man as the
chief executive, Utah may searlessly knock
at the door of our nation and ask for ad-
mission as a state, and she will not be
turned away without her rights. lGreat
applause. She will yet be given a place
in the galaxy Of states, and her star will
shine as one of the brightest.
He said we have at home an unscrupul-
Gus enemy in the shape of Tuscarora So
ciety. AT Chicago this aggregation Of mis-
fits rehashed the old falacies and Tribune
lies for years back, and foisted them upon
the assembled delegates as campaign litera-
ture in order to bolster up their case. He
hoped II any honorable persons were still
with this society that they would be re-
claimed and shown the right way.
Mr.. Barnes address was a brilliant effort
throughout, and was vigorously applauded.
After three rousing cheers for Demo
cracy's leaders, Cleveland ana Stevenson,
the meeting adjourned. M.
