The Two Stalwarts Take Beaver
By Storm.
ROUSING MEETING.
TRIUNIPHAL TOUR THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN COUNTRY.
Great Enthusiasm Among the Demo-
Gratis, While the Few Republicans
Are in Despnir-EIOquent Remarks
of Mr.. Roberts In Reply to a
Statement Made BY Mr.. Cannon.

long there was a liveliness shown in
Democratic circles that betokened
something a little out of the ordinary.
Delegate Rawlins and Hon. B. H.
Roberts were announced to speak in
the evening, was the solution of the
problem.
"Our Joe" boarded the south bound
Union Pacific at Spanish Fork on Fri
day; that evening he addressed an
enthusiastic audience at Frisco, while
Mr. Roberts delivered great speech
at Milford. Wednesday morning Mr..
Rawlins spoke from the depot platform
at Milford for a few minutes.
''Thems my politics if 1 am a Re
publican" said a gentleman. Its the
truth, and can't help believing it."
At Minersville the meeting house was
crowded, and Mr.. Roberts and Delegate
RaWlinS made the ground so slippery
that several Republicans have fallen on
the right side. The audiences were
very appreciative and enthusiastic.
Many of the Republican pet theories
were so nicely and elegantly exposed
that the dazed expressions upon the
Icountenances of our friends-the enemy
fully justify the ''where-are-we-at'
lappellation being applied. They remind
one of the antics of a chicken whose
head has just been cut off.
The RawlinS' cavalade which left
Minersville for Beaver was somewhat
augmented by a delegation from
Greenville which joined it on the road.
About six miles out from Beaver, the
Minersville delegation, with Delegate
Rawlins in charge, was met by the
Democratic Cavalry club of this city,
some sixty strong, in their new uni
forms and mounted. The military bear
ing of the boys, as they were drawn up
in two lines under the direction Of
Captain Joseph L. Kuss, made an inn
pressive appearance, especially as they
were backed by about twenty Of
Beavers most charming young ladies.
| Deputy Marshal Tanners earri-
age, which was drawn by his
spanking span of bays, whose
unchallenged in southern Utah, led
the procession. In the carriage were
"Our Joe" and Mr.. Tanner. This was
! followed by the carriage occupied by
! Hon. b. H. Roberts and Mr.. z. Tan
ner, of Milford, after which came the
pride of Beaverton brass band; then
| the boys in blue;" then the girls, fol-
| lowed by numerous carriages of cit-
Zens. The procession was several
blocks long and came down Main
street, each side of which was throng-
| ed with citiZenS-men waving their
hats, women waving their handker-
| chiefs, and all hurrahing and shout
i ing amid the din of blazing cannons
and the clamor and clangor of yelling
kids" and music by the band. Such
an ovation was never before known
here. The procession countermarched
on Main street and thence to the resi-
dence of J. w. Christian, ESQ. Here
MIR. Rawlins feelingly expressed his
deep appreciation of the tokens of
kindness and good will so profusely be-
slowed upon him and his companion.
At s o'clock p. m. an immense process
sion, headed by the band, conducted
the distinguished guest to our opera
| house, which had been elegantly dec
GRATED for the occasion. The old house
fairly groaned with the weight Of hui
mainly within it's walls. Such a crowd
it had never before held. Hundreds Of
people could not get in, but fingered on
the outside, for it was good to be near.
The remarks were enthusiastically re-
ceived and frequently cheered to the
echo.
Today the Republicans are eagerly
casting about for something to take
| hold of. All holds are lost, and not a
vestige of the great security assured
them by their defeated delegate-Mr.
Cannon-is left for them to feel any
longer the least security in.
y great feature or the evening was
| the following peroration of Mr.. Rob
erts, which was in reply to a state
ment made here a few evenings pre-
vious by Frank j. Cannon, that state
hood came to us less through the in
fluence of Mr.. Rawlins than the de-
signs of an over ruling providence:
''Who secured the cancellation OF
that large amount charged against our
territory? In addition to this who OBJ
rr1f 1,1 h.
make proof of payment by. farmers of
desert land entries? OF course we have
already told you about the securing Of
statehood. And these are the splendid
triumphs of our present and future
delegate. (Applause) But / am given
to understand that these things before
have been read in your hearing; and
they have been laid aside, doubt not,
with the utmost care. And you have
been told as 1 have. been told in the
north that anybody could do that.
Why, these were not glorious triumphs?
Conditions had so far changed that
anybody could have done it 81 That
is what they say in the north. I
understand, however, that they attrf-
butte these splendid victories won by
our delegate to another source down
here; and I believe it was first pro
claimed from this platform where I am
now addressing you. And we are told
in solemn tones that an overruling
Providence did it ALL Ladies and gem
tlemen, in all soberness, 1 believe that;
but my studies in regard to the con-
duct of Providence, teaches me this:
That He works through instruments:
and if the Democratic party, and
Especially the Democratic delegate
from this territory, has been used by
the overruling Providence to bring
these blessings to us-since our dele
gate now is the preferred of heaven
and is made this Northumberland
Republican (pointing to Mr.. Rawlins)
dare vote against this man? CThun-
; Idering applause and great exultation.).
Mr.. Delegate, L have always enter
tanned a high respect for you; but now,
sir, henceforth, that respect must also
border upon reverence. (Applause).
. Ladies and gentlemen. 1 think that
the election of Mr.. Rawlins and Demo-
cratic members to the constitutional
convention from Beaver is secure In
your hands; and I have only to beg
your pardon for OBTAINING you so long.
(Applause continued).
