triumphs in this territory and the election
j OF one OF her own citizens, born and
reared IN our midst-Mr. J. l.. RaWhns.
/ This brought out great applause
/ The speaker went on to congratulate

inside of two years.
A JAcKsoNIAN DEMOCRAT.
Judge Judd, who was presented as a
Jacksonaan Democrat, who had no re-
ligion except his politics, conceded that
this was in part true, and for his part he
agreed that all the just source of govern
ment was derived from the people. ssWe
stand, he said, s'the dominant party
today in Utah applausel; we stand the
dominant party in the United States.
Applause. We are now governed by
! officers from 2, 500 miles away. Our gov
ernor is exercising his authority without
touch or sympathy with the hearts OF the
people. Applause mingled with deris-
ion. We are governed by judges from
abroad. Let US hope that before another
Jackson's day Grover Cleveland and
Democratic Congress will give us our
rights as American citizens. [Great ap

EX-GOVERNOR WEST.
Ex-Governor West was introduced as
the minute man of Democracy. The
governor stated, by way OF explanation,
that he, with the rest of The speakers,
had no notice of being called upon to
speak and were unprepared.
''Tis we'll, - he said, ''on Jackson's
day to remember Jefferson who laid well
and deep the foundations for our party
and the superstructure upon which
Liberty rests. AS was said: While
stands the coliseum, Rome stands;
when the coliseum falls, Rome falls.
We can congratulate ourselves that we in
Utah are in accord with the Democracy of
the nation. When we look back three
years and contrast the strife and ami
mostly of that time with what we see to-
day we can scarcely realize the
changes that have occurred. Go
to sssemblages such as this and you will
find it is not a question now as to what
prayers man utters or what hymns he
sings, he has equal liberties with all other
men. With the dawn that the chairman
spoke of, the people will go forward to
take in all benefits that are guaranteed to
all citizens of the republic
The governor received his full metz of
applause, and in closing tipped the Tus-
caroras with a gentle reminder of good
will.

COLONEL LETT.
Colonel Lett was announced and re-
sponded by saying that it was not his in
tention to make a speech and excused
himself on the ground that he and Judge
Henderson had already prepared speeches
to be delivered in Scandinavia. He didn't
care to interfere with the speech he had
already prepared.
The colonel had found that Idaho and
Wyoming were greatly interested in the
affairs of Utah. That when he went
across the Wasatch mountains he dis
covered that the people of Colorado were
in sympathy with the people OF Utah.
They apprehended that ere long Arizona
and New Mexico on the south would be
ushered into the family of states, before
the next administration rolls by. We
then can send senators and congressman
to Washington that will help legislate for
the silver industry.
In Nebraska, he observed, Wi liam
Bryan, one of the brightest men
in the state, championed the cause of free
silver and be would not be surprised If the
wires would announce in a few days that
he had been chosen as the United States
senator from that state.
The colonel closed by picture of Utah
with its senator's and congressman,
preaching the claims of free silver in the
national halls of legislation.

The speaker closed by saying that he
was just among the people here for the
purpose of taking in a part Of our terri
tory in case it was the right color-on his
way to San Juan.
Held's band furnished the music and
played the national airs with splendid
effect.
The Democrats celebrated the day in
fine style and departed stronger IN the
