the subject of such a canal is the most
vital connected with the welfare,
growth and prosperity of the United
States. 1t declares that the only feasible
route for such a canal is by way
of Nicaragua. and points out that the
conventions of the two great political
parties have Endorsed the project.
1t appears that all the engineers have
agreed in expressing decided pref
erence for the Nicaragua route, be-
cause, among other reasons, only 26$I
miles of the entire distance of 16915
miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean through Nicaragua will have to
be excavated. The other 1929 miles
consist OF Lake Nicaragua. the San Juan
river and depressions in the surface of
the earth. Lake Nicaragua will con-
stitute harbor sufficient to accommo-
date the navies and commerce of the
world. 1t is 40 miles long. 90 miles
wide, and is $50 feet at its deepest
points. Vessels entering the canal
from the Atlantic ocean will sail on a
level with the ocean for 12$l miles, at
the end of which they will be raised by
three locks to the level of the lake.
They will sail along the San Juan
river and the lake on the lake level to
a point within 81 miles of the Pacific
ocean. Here they will be lowered by
the locks to the level of the Pacific
ocean.
COST OF THE WORK.
The committee says the cost, includ
ing the payment of interest during the
progress of the work. will be less than
500, 600. 600. and the time required for
the completion of the work is within
five years. The climate of Nicaragua
is healthy. and out of 1,6O0 northern
men employed in constructing rail
road through swamp only two died
during period of four months. OF 200
northern engineers and skilled me
chanics who have worked for the canal
company for three years not one has
died from a disease incident to the
country. BY the Nicaragua canal the
distance saved is shown by this table:

effected by the election of A d. Cash as
president, w. N. Dusenbery and M. M.
Kellogg, vice presidents; j. H. Wallace
secretary; and d. z. Felt, treasurer, and a
declaration Of principles was made, favor

party, and on the 2Sth OF March

Hon. j. w. Judd, S. A. Kenner of Salt

kept up bravely until the summer election,
which resulted in the choice of full Dem

club, held ON Tuesday, May ., 1891, Hon.
Thomas Marshall presented the folloWin g
Address to the People
of Utah, which was adopted and ordered
published.
To the People of Utah:
Believing as we do that the changed as well
as the rapidly changing conditions in social
and political status of this territory Justify
the Abandonment of the political org anizations
which have heretofore existed and that the
time has now arrived when the political parties
OF this territory should be formed upon the
lines OF national politics, leaving each individ
ual citizen to choose for himself his utilization
with one or the other OF the two great political
parties OF the country, according to his prefe-
renee, and confident of the virtue patriotism
ahe integrity OF the mass of the people, as
democrats we make the following declaration
OF principles:
I've believe that the government of the
United States is a national sovereignty su
preme within its sphere as delegated and de-
hned IN the constitution, and TO that govern
ment our fl ST allegiance is due; and we believe
IN willing and loyal obedience to all its laws
and strict enforcement Of the same.

The year 1884, which witnessed the
sweep of Democratic influence in all parts
of the United States, will be known in
Utah as a period of political awakening
Prior to that time political parties had been
80 COMPOUNDED that even distinctive names
were eschewed, and beyond the fact that
once in four years delegate would be sent
TO each of the national conventions, no in
terest seemed to be manifested in party
organization.
AT the National Democratic convention,
which met at Chicago on July s, 1884, the
territories were for the first time admitted
to vote for candidates for President and
Vice-President as we'll as to participate in
the debates.
Utah was represented by Ransford Smith
and j. h. Wilkins.
The result of that election caused
THE GREATEST REJOICING
in the territory, and the hundred guns fired
from the head Of Main street in Salt Lake
signi6ed more than simple noise.
At the large mass meeting held on the
evening of November S, speeches were
made and congratulatory kilograms send to
State. The uncertain condition of the
returns, which lasted for some days, caused
the interest to be intensified, and on the
18th another celebration was held.
Prior to this election there had developed
a spirit of restlessness on the part of many
of the young men in Utah, who were very
anxious to ally themselves with the great
national parties, and the elevation of Cleve-
land and Hendricks to the head of national
affairs, gave all who had leaning toward
Democratic principles the opportunity Of
perfecting
Club Organization.
On the evening of November 70, 1884, about
dozen young men met at the law Office of
Sheeks q Rawlins, in Salt Lake, and after
perfecting a temporary organization,
adopted platform which endorsed that of

day evening, January s, 1891. A crowded
house greeted the association on its first
public appearance.
The president f. H. Dyer, presented
Farley l.. Williams as chairman for the
evening and in accepting the place he de-
liyered an interesting address upon the life
and services Of Andrew Jackson.
BY intention the speech of the occasion
was from
Hon. John w. Judd
who was introduced as the orator and said :
Ladies and Gentlemen Mr.. President and
Members of the Central Democratic Club of
Salt Lake County:
What, ask, can be more fitting on an occa-
sion of this sort where we have met to celebrate
the victory of General Jackson, than recita-
ton OF the history of that party of which Jeffer-
son was the founder and jackson the great dis
clple and eXemplar. The history, my friends
OF civilization in respect to the government
presents one prolonged and continued contest
between two antagonistic ideas that. as 1 shall
undertake TO show, found and find elimination
IN the establishment of the Democratic govern
ment of America. The one idea is that of kings
and Kingdoms, of emperors and empires, of the
concentration of power in the hands of one man
or of few men. These rule, as they have in
sisted, by divine right; their rule of government
Is that The voice of God is the voice of the
people. > On the other hand the other idea is
that 1.-The voice of the people is the voice of
Cod that the rule OF the people is
THE PROPER PRINCIPLE OF GOVERNMENT
and tends more directly and ste adfastly to the
protection and preservation of individual
liberty.
These ideas, as I have said, antagonistic as
they are, have been the subject of one long and
continued contest. That contest was transfer
red from Europe to America, and when the
American colonlsts wrested from England their
liberty the history of our country shows that
these two parties and ideas haG their followers
and representatives upon American soil. Not
it l. true in the shape of advocates Of kings,
but there were those who were called National
lists as contra-diStin guiShed to those who were
called, and indeed called themselves, Federal
lists The bond of union between the colonies
forced upon them by their dread of England,
when they had gained their independence began
to weaken; and men began to cast about for the
formation of a more perfect union. 1t was
then, Mr.. President, that this dea of a national
consolidated government began to take shape
under the lead of such men as Hamilton, of New
York, and Randolph, of Virginia. 1t was then
that the Federalstic idea began to crystalline

preme court of Michigan. Studying law, he
