ToAsTs AND RESPONSES.
After the wants of the inner man had
been supplied, Judge Powers arose and
called attention to the fact that the AFRO TVS
were ell pointed downward. He then
called upon c. NJ. jackson, who spoke
Tor the family in responding to the toast
ANDREW Jackson"
He is now at rest
And praise and blame fall on his ear alike "
Judge Powers then read letters from
Governor Thomas and A. G.. Norrell, re-
GREETING their inability to attend, and

eloquent response to the toast ''Thomas

he wears truer crown
Than any wreath that man can weave nlnl
f. j. Kiesel was to have responded to

absent and Judge Powers proposed the
sentiment, - 1ape Press, calling upon
Judge Goodwin to respond. The Judge
made q numerous address, in which he
referred to. Jackson's noble work in

opinion that most of the braves present
were the embodied spirits of the old
Seminobs.
H. v. Meloy, who was to have made
the response to the toast, "The
Tuscarora" was absent, and C. e. Allen,

formed his hearers that both jackson and

as the reason why they occupied such
high places in the esteem of their country
men.

JUDGE JUDD CALLED ON.
Judge Powers then said that the
Tuscaroras, on a memorable occasion,
went to Chicago imbued with the idea
that all they had to do was to show their
noodles in the WigWann and be recognized
as the owners of that portion of the earth
within the boundary lines of Utah.
When they arrived there, something
happened which they couldn't exactly
understand, and he called upon Judge
Judd to explain it.
<In replying, Judge Judd said:
Allow me, my friends, in the beginning
of what I shall say, to express to you my
thanks for your hospitality which offers
10 me an opportunity to say a few words
concerning the great cause Of Democracy
10 which we are all so much attached.
1t occurred to me, when the subject of
my speech was given me by Judge Pow
ers, that an occasion would be offered of
saying some humorous things at the ex-
pense OF the Tuscaroras concerning their
fruitless hunt for game at Chicago last
June. But after thinkingmore of my sub
iect [ have concluded to indulge in a
thought that can but be most agreeable to
all OF US.
Judge Judd then proceeded in his char
acteristic and forcible style to elaborate
upon the significance of Jackson's day
why it was a Democrats day and why all
Democrats should celebrate it. Thomas
jefferson, the founder of the Democratic
party, never had disciple more thor
oughly in sympathy with the principles
of that party than Andrew Jackson.
The speaker then turned his attention
to the principles of the Democratic party,
and said the Democratic party Will never
die so long as it shall adhere to that great
principle of human liberty so beautifully
expressed by its great founder, that t'all
just powers OF government are derived
from the consent of the governed. ~
Coming down to the local situation,
Judge Judd said: sfWhen asked by
Madam De Stael who was the greatest
woman in France, Napoleon replied:
The woman who bears to France the
most soldiers Let me say as Napoleon
did, that the greatest Democratic organi-
cation is the one that plants broadcast the
deepest Democratic thought and brings to
the party the most Democrats. And this
brings me to the point where | beg your
indulgence to say a few things which so
nearly concern US all. Is 1T not
time for us as Democrats to get
together? When we look around
about us we see that in few
in the valleys CT Zion between those who
dwell in the wickiups of Jackson and the
Republican hosts. In that battle let the
Tuscarora warriors put on their armor
and come to the aid of their brother
tribes. Who can doubt where they will
be found? / answer, no one. When diff
ferences arose among the tribes of Jefer-
son in Utah, as to who should dwell in
tents of Democracy, great trouble came
among US, and we could not smoke the
pipe Of peace around our council fires any
longer, and we said among ourselves,
Let US take our case to the court of last
resort, that shall assemble in the great
wigwam at Chicago, which shall decide
between u.s. And it was done.
ssMy friends, in that court you lost your
case. As good Indians there is but one
course Tor you to pursue. The court said
that the Tuscaroras had gone off into
strange camps, and bid you come back
ana pitch your wickiups in the great
tenting ground OF Jackson.
s.Tuscarora braves, in the name of our
great founder, in the name of our great
saint whom this night we honor, bid, |
conjure You to come TO the household of
our friends. Bring your organization
with you, for Democracy shall need its
help, ana aid US to fight the great battle
of liberty and plant in the valleys of Zion
government are derived from the consent
OF the governed.
OTHER GOOD SPEECHES.
Hon. William NJ Ferry next made a
brief address, in which he told of the or
ganization and growth of the Tuscarora
society and outlined its objects.
