The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-03-05

ing: eve shall now in the near future
see men taken from our own ranks.
People of the territory will be allowed to
govern themselves. Then we will be al
lowed to enter the great family OF states
and become one of the great sisterhood of
commemorative. 1t is condition and
not a theory which confronts us. I'm
justly taxed, we have had misrule and
NAL administrations. The system of
tariff we have admits OF it. The time is
coming, and shortly, when Utah as q
state, will lift her voice in the Senate hall
and be heard by all men. For the first
time since 1860 the government has re-
turned to the party that made that gov
eminent. [Applause.l And every Demo-
GRAFT who puts his head upon his pillow
tonight can sleep with the thought that
the government is in safe hands.
81 believe the Scandinavian women will
finish and complete the Democracy of
Utah. Teach the children Democracy and
you will have established love of liberty
Tor all time Statehood! My friends, we
are near it. Let US rejoice!"
THE FIRST LADY.
To the toast, ''The First Lady," a. T.
Schroeder made some very graceful re-
marks: "Eight years ago today Grover
Cleveland first received a crown of conf
dence and esteem from the people who
love him. And they love him more now
than they did then, because Frances Fol-
som is his wife, and the sweetness Of a
child's prattle warns his heart and per-
meates his being. She is sweet woman,
a loving mother, a happy wife. Sum-
ming it all together, she is the most per-
feet creation of Gods handiwork-a wo-
manly woman"
THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY.
Mr.. w. H. O'Brien responded to the
toast, HCentral Democratic Society,"" and
briefly outlined its history from its in
cipient days of struggling, until now
when it occupies position OF promi-
knence and pride among the Democratic
societies of Utah. He urged upon the
young men the necessity of first of all
Joining the precinct CLUBS and then, if
time was left, to join some organization
of broader scope.
A CANE PRESENTATION.
Mr.. T. S. Ertman was the humorist of
the speakers. His remarks were short but
provocative of lots of laughter. He said:
~ only wish to say Jew words for the
Scandinavian society and its formation
Great credit is due the ladies. The
question has often been asked me,
tWhy do you want women in
your society? They cannot vote. I'll
tell YOU why. We want the young girls
to draw the young boys and the old girls
to draw the old boys. Keep this up and
pretty soon We'll have it so one OF our
girls will not have sweetheart unless he
is a Democrat. Our president, too. is
entitled to no little measure of credit,
and in behalf of the society, wish to
present him with this gold headed cane.
This was not only surprise to Mr..
Nelson, but to almost everyone else
However, he recovered sufficiently to say:
sNever in my life have felt as do to-
night. I do not believe | have earned
this. have simply done my duty and
worked for Democracy
Other good and brief speeches were
made by 7. S. Ertman, H. s. Laney and
J. e. Letcher, and a telegram was then
read, signed by II. J. Faust and A. M.
Cannon, jr., from San Francisco, which
read as follows:
s.Three cheers for Cleveland and Stew
enson and The sage-brush Democracy of
Utah.
The musical portion of the programme
was agreeably appreciated, and heartily
applauded. The whole affair does great
credit to every one connected with the
management, and will long be remem-
bered by the Democracy of Salt Lake.
