HON. &. H. ROBERTS RESPONSE.
George f. Blair proposed toast,
ITO the future of Utah." and Hon. B.
II. Roberts was called upon to respond
to it. He commenced by quoting from
Napoleon, to the effect that there was
fore; shutdown. The time for placing
Utah, he said, as a Democratic state
into the Union, was not lost.
I'm the words Of Napoleon, at 2
O'Clock there was time until 5 O'Clock
to win the battle, and I for one am
sure Utah will be redeemed from the
disgrace that has come upon it. 1t will
be written that Utah is for Democracy,
and l pledge it in the blood of the
.braze'-all drinking the ruby-colored
wine.
THE MAYOR TALKS.
Mayor r. n. Basl1in said we must
buckle on our armor and renew the
fight, profiting by the bitter experiences
of the recent past. If we are honest in
the pretentions we make and the prln-
ciples we have espoused we will succeed
and no power on earth can prevent our
ultimate triumph. The Democrats party
stands for the best interests and well
fare of the masses, rather than for the
Joseph L. Rawlins to carry out the plat
form of principles there will be no more
panics and financial disasters.
A RESPONSE FROM UTAH COUNTY.
Utah county was called for, and
Chairman Caine presented Hon. E. A.
Wilson, chairman OF the Democratic
committee of that county. Mr.. Wilson
made an interesting little speech in
which he stated that the happy results
of the campaign in his county were
largely due to the territorial campaign
committee for sending so many good
speakers to present the issues to the
voters.
ga STREAK OF SUNSHINE"
Reference having been made by one
of the speakers to the Republican plan
of importing representatives from Call
ifornia and Iowa, the toast, "a streak
of sunshine" was suggested, and Fish
er S. Harris, the silver-tongued orator,
responded to it in his own original,
happy and humorous way.
He said the fact of the Clean brilli-
ant record of Delegate Rawlins was
the means of largely reducing the ma
jority of the successful candidate. The
voice of the people is the voice of God,
and if the scientific authorities on
sunshine" do not keep their pledges,
weighed in the balance and found
wanting" The Republicans will mot
keep their pledges to Utah and the
people will rise in their might to smite
them at the next battle.

SPEECH.
Hon. J. r. Letcher defied any one to
follow in Mr.. RaWIins footsteps in ful-
filing promises to further the inter-
ests of Utah. because the JOB,
had already been done and
we'll done. We congratulate him on
the good work already performed and
the victory sure to come. our friend
has been tried and found not wanting
and success Will once more attend his
labors.

We're proud that they had been able
to down the king of Wasatch county
in the late election
