The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1894-10-19

man;
Hurrah, hurrah, we'll have him on the
stand;
And We'll have frankie Cannon in a
far away balloon,
As we march on to election.
Who is it brought us statehood, and
pulled us from behind,
And brought us to the front ranks, and
made old Utah shine?
VINO is it brought the money back that
once was robbed away?
We will tell it to you at the polls on
election.
Chorus.
Who is it wants the honor for the
mark that we have made
And claims that they have pushed it,
and forced it to the stage?
1t is all piece of taffy, and we will
have you all to know
AS we march on to election.
Chorus.
They had time enough to do it in the
space of thirty years,
| But no, it was not time for it, was
/ sounded in our ears;
But statehood is here at last, give hon
| or to Our Joe,
| AS we march on to election.
| Chorus.
OF course they were encored Every
thing about The Herald always is.
RESOLUTIONS.
| The committee on resolutions then
reported as follows, by Judge Norrell,
| its chairman:
The Democrats of Salt Lake county,
in convention assembled, reaffirm their
allegiance to the undying principles Of
that party which is the champion and
heir of freedom in that great contest
which has ever been waged and is
still waging between power central
lied in the hands of the favored few,
on the one hand, and the masses of
the people on the other; which asserts
that mankind are able and have the
| God-given right to govern themselves;
| that constitutions and laws must be
so constructed and construed as to
preserve to individuals and commune
| ties the highest measure of liberty;
| that taxation has but one legitimate
purpose, namely, to support govern
ment economically administered, and
which holds that to raise taxes for the
purpose of bestowing them on favored
| individuals on the plea of promoting
| public good, is none the less robbery,
though disguised under the forms of
| law and called taxation.
| We can see no justification for the
| further existence of a party which
CONSTITUTES the constitution so broadly,
Notwithstanding the vigorous protest
of Democratic judges, as to deprive
a community of a vast sum of
money by escheat; whichNholds that any
corporation or individual who can con-
| troll votes enough to secure 1t, is en-
titled to a bounty or protection; which
Icno lrc to nf hi
country against another; which finds
its chief support among the beneficiar-
les of the spoils filched from the peo-
| ple which has demonetiZed silver and
offers no hope for its remonetiZation;
which believes in bounties for the rich
! and taxes for the poor; which believes
that a man can lift himself over "a
fence by his own boot straps; which
produced the only Republican legisla-
ture; which declines to tell the peo-
pie where it now stands on its favor
lite theory of protection; which asserts
that a Democratic community has no
| rights which a Republican is bound to
respect; which cries fraud without JUS
! LITIGATION in order to forstall defeat
and divert attention from it's own mi
quitious designs; which has furnished
us with a county court that has twice
appealed to the people for bonds with
| has Saddled this county with burden
of debt amounting to 1926, 900, much of
which has been squandered; and which
party now appeals to the voters of this
| county, with ticket made up largely
of chronic office-Seekers and office hold
ers and mostly of men whose records
give little promise that they will be
equal to the responsibilities of the i'm
portant offices for which they have
| been named.
We adopt and reafirm the resolu-
| tions presented to the people of Utah
| by the last Democratic territorial con-
vention. We rejoice in the nomination
of Hon. J. l.. Rawlins for delegate to
Congress. In him the Democratic
party presents to the people of Utah
a man whom the office seeks, and
whose character and record, both per-
sonal and official. are not only beyond
lreproach but beyond criticism.
We commend the excellent work done
by our Democratic conventions in the
choice of men for the highly respon-
sible positions. as delegates to the con-
stitutional convention
We believe in fair and equal distri-
button of fayors and burdens of govern
ment and therefore emphasize our en-
dorsement of the income feature of the
recent tariff law.
We assert that no citizen of our
common country should be shorn. of
single right because his political or
religious convictions do not coincide
with our own. And whenever any or
ganization or society, whatever it's
nature, public or private, open or Sc
cret, political or otherwise, attempts
to restrict the right of any American
citizen to vote or hold office on account
of his religious belief or nationality,
we denounce that organization or So
ciety as opposed to the genius Of Amer
lean institutions, and in direct conflict
with the spirit of our great magma
charta.
We appeal to the voters of this coun
ty for support, confident in the
strength of our candidates and in TIE
superiority of the principles of party
which was born with the government
and which will live as long as demo-
cratic government shall exist.
RECEIVED WITH CHEERS.
The reading of the platform was
greeted with great cheers, especially
that part referring to the nomination
of Joseph L. Rawlins and the denuncia
ton of all secret political organizations.
