By 8 o'clock the hall was well filled
and among the audience was a large
|sprinkling of ladies. AS the host as
|sembled, patriotic music was rendered
by the Peterson orchestra
HON. JOHN T. GAME
called the meeting to order and intro
duced Governor c. w. West as the
chairman for the evening. The gov
ernor stated the object of the assembly
was to do honor to one of the greatest
heroes. both of peace and war that
this country had ever produced, An
drew Jackson, an American of whom
his country had reason to be proud.
JUDGE H. W SMITH
was the first speaker. He said that
Andrew Jackson was great in every
walk Of life in which he engaged, of
ioTly origin, and at II years of age
an orphan and without friends, it was
a mystery from where he drew his in
SEPARATION. Every station he was called
to he filled with honor and distinction
Twice in life in fortune he was totally
wrecked by trusting his friends and
twice with resolute courage and hon
esty hme paid his debts and when he
came to lay down his life he was DOS
SesSed of a competence. But it was
as a soldier and statesman that he
most distinguished himself. Yet there
never lived a. man who was so thor
oughly hated by his enemies and thor
oughly loved by his friends. As presi-
dent of the United States he distin-
guished himself by legislation which
proved very beneficial to the country.
He struck down the tariff system
which existed in his day and throttled
the money power. We want another
Andrew Jackson in these days.
He was engaged for a, great portion
of his life in warfare. The Indian
wars were long and tedious. He beat
the British at New Orleans, overthrow
with an inferior force the soldiers who
whipped Napoleon. There is not in
the whole history the record of a vic
tory more complete and with very
little loss to himself. When he was
called upon to act he did not fear
to act and to take the responsibility
of 1t. When he was sent to Florida
as governor he had trouble with the
Seminole Indians and promptly arrest
ed subject of Spain, and one
OF Great Britain who were agging on
the Indians. The government warned
him TO be careful and he was careful
for he hanged both of them and re-
ported the fact afterwards.
In Louisiana when attempt was
made to arrest him on civil process he
drove out one Judge and placed an
other under arrest. He was fined 81 900
for contempt Of court but Congress
returned the fine. He was impetuous
but generally right. He was not
averse to defending his honor with the
sword or pistol and engaged in a, good
many duels. He was several times
severely wounded in these encounters
His craftsmanship was broad and he
was the idol of his party This cele-
oratfon of jackson day has been con-
sldered Democratic love feast but it
should rather be considered an express
sion of Americanism. It was a very
comfortable kind of partisansbip
which elected Jackson to the presi
Dental chair.
HON. w. H. KING
of Provo said the recent election in
Salt Lake did not emphasize the poets
sentiment Thrice armed is he who
hath his quarrel just but rather the
other idea that -Four times armed
IS he who gets his blow in first"
