WEST RATTLgS THEM.
The Ex-Governor shakes Up the Dry Bones
az Pennington.

The Ex-Governor shakes Up the Dry Bones
at FatmIngton.
Correspondence OF THE HERALD
FARMlNGToN, Oct. ia rousing and
patriotic Democratic rally was held in our
opera house last evening. Ex-Governor
West surprised all present with his glow
ing eloquence and telling points. He
gracefully and intelligentiy let day
light through the wall of protec-
ton that J. H. Spith and Mr..
Irwin tried to build up, in Republican
rally held IN the same building night before
last, and hit the Republican parent of trusts
and combines some severe blows.
As an Offset to Mr.. Smiths claim, that
the people we're indebted to the Eepubli-
can party for the homestead laws, he al
luded to the fact that the Demo-
cratic party had acquired for US
the very land our homes are on, and re
ferred to other acquisitions and glorious
deeds of the truly loyal party that Is ever
working for the interests OF the whole pe0-
pie One of these valuable deeds being the
restoring TO the public domain-to home
steaders, few millions of the numerous
millions of acres of land that the
in purely Republican manner 10 benefit
and build up rich men and rich corpora
tions.
Ii this argument fails to convince some
of our granger, fence-riding friends on
which side of the fence their best inter-
ests lie perhaps an answer from the rail-
way companies to their applications for
some Of the land that the honest party
couldn' trescue from the wreckers, that it
is from So to $40 per acre, will quicken
their understanding a little.
MIR. Smiths argument and opinion that
the Home Rule bill introduced into Con
gress by Delegate Game was an infamous
measure was ably met by the governor
explaining the most important features Of
the bill. It is the next thing to statehood,
which we cannot get at present, and ii II
is infamy to want these things, may God
send infamy to . tah at once.
Judge Brandon of Ger teryille, on bsing
called for, made lively speech, as also
did our president, j. Fl. Wilcox.
The Pennington Glee club were encored
for nicely rendering campaign pieces.
t. Il. Philips and }. G. M. Barnes of
Kaysviile occupied chairs on the platform.
and several Kaysville Republicans in the
audience listened to the speeches.
The governor recognizing the fact that
some of the audience were OF the same
faith az MIR Smith several times expressed
g delicacy about crluicising the gentleman's
remarks. Your correspondent feels a lit
tie that way, too, but until the q. o. Party
get more of supply of ammunition for
their cannon they will perhaps have to be
excused for placing prominent people in
the front ranks and in reach Of the hot
shot of the conquering Democratic army.

into The Enemy's Camp
STAFF Correspondence of THE HERALp.1
BEAR RIVER CITY, Oct. 1.-THE fall
campaign as marked out by the territorial
Democratic committee is extending into all
parts of Utah.
Box Elder has been favored heretofore
by the presence of speakers who discussed
the issues OF the day aud enlightened as
well as encouraged the people, but last
night the guns were trained on Bear Lake
City and for several hours canister and
grapeshot were poured into the ranks of
the opposition.
The people in the surrounding country all
turned out, and the schoolhouse was filed
hey ond its capacity.
Mr.. Fl. 81. Smith, president of the local
Democratic society. acted as chairman of
the meeting. he congratulated the people
on the interest shown and then presented
JOSEPH s. PERRY
of Ogden, the well known president Of the
Young Mems Democratic club of that city.
Though young, yet not inexperienced in
public affairs. this gentleman talked with
directness and force upon the questions of
local and general government-touching to
q considerable extent upon the national
taxing system. as also upon the history
and progress Of politics in U tah He was
followed by the
HON. A. n. SNOW
Of Box Elder county, member of the
house of representatives of the last terri
tor1al assembly, who, in brief talk defended
the action OF that body In its stand on the
subject OF bounties, the disbursement of
moneys, and its general policy for the
territory. He was well provided with
data and sent the shots directly to the
points desired.

gramme

Of deeply interested voters. and he made o
most telling speech The history of the
legislation on the methods of elections, the
use and abuse of the system Of commits
sion, the burdens Of the tariff, the effect
munities, were rapidly and foriably pre-
scented.
he ubiquitous system of favoritism as
seen in the tariff laws enacted by the Re-
publican party. resulting in the growth Of
monopolies and trusts, by means Of which
the healthful operation of all measures in
tended for the relief Of the masses of the
people are thwarted, was put in new and
forcible light before this people.
The speakers were all listened to with
marked attention and awarded frequent
plaudits Of approval.

Reception-The Fusion Scheme.
BRIGHAM Cry, Oct. 15.--Hon. ]. L.
Rawlius will be with US next Monday. and
preparations are now being made to make
his coming one of the greatest events Of
the season. At special meeting last night
committees were appointed on reception,
decorations, etc. The opera house is en-
tirely too small for the Democratic rallies,
and if possible larger house will DO se-
cured
1t is some time since the Citizens Alli-
ance was mentioned in TIE HERALD as
Republican scheme to draw Democratic
votes. The Republicans deny it no longer.
We have it on good authority that
fusion is about to be mad between these
two parties; that the Alliance will put up
ticket, and then, by mutual agreement.
only half of the Republican ticket will be-
voted Tor, and half of the Alliance But
even this fusion will not help them much,
because The Democratic party of Brigham
City has majority above the fusion and
will elect the entire city ticket.

tion of the office of sheriff. "Eph, -

a strong race for sheriff, and was only
defeated by fifty odd votes by o. B.

The storm of Sunday and Sunday
night was a hardship for the poor
and destitute in st. Louis, and sad
scenes were witnessed about the
police station in that city on Mon
day. In many homes there was
suffering from cold and hunger.
Those among the destitute who have
in some way managed to exist with
out aid were driven to the last ex-
tremity by the storm, and they flock
ed to the police stations, knowing OF
no other place to go. In the Third
police district, where the destitute
are more numerous than in any other
portion OF the city, the applications
for aid were alarming in numbers.
At least $50 people called at the
station and asked for bread.

At Forest City, Holt county, on

by shooting himself through the head

is that he had been drinking heavily
for some time past. About ten min

in a blacksmith shop that it was his
last day on earth. He went immed-
lately to his own shop, seated him.

There is no class of professional
men who merit more public contempt
than shyster lawyers. No earthly
excuse can be afforded for their exist
ence, while many reasons exist why
humanity would be a beneficiary of
their exit. People are not SO much
disposed to go to law now as was the
case few years ago, and even the
best lawyers feel that business is not
what it once was. This has tended to
make pirates out of a certain class of
alleged lawyers who neither possess
honesty nor ability enough to exc
out an existencein a respectable busi-
ness way.

About half mile south of this was

The Jefferson City Tribune says
that for some reason the ministers in
this state are unreasonably severe in
their denunciation of balls and dane
ing. The parsons at Mexico and Sc
dalia tried to discourage charity
balls during holiday week, and now
we read that the preachers at West
Plains have resolved that a masque-
rade ball is an determination" and
should be abated. When nothing
more serious than dancing threatens
the morals of our civilization, the
salvation army can safely be dis
banded and even the less noisy and
more worthy advocates of christani-
ty take holiday.
