/ CldSS. Many Oh THOSE CudISCS uIdUe
yesterday partook of d more serious
mature than usual, however. He loud
| ly proclaimed that Governor West,
| Mayor Baskin and a. number of the
| local leaders of the Democratic party,
at the behest of the authorities in
| Washington, had interviewed and
INUNDATED THE OFFICIALS
of the Rio Grande Western, as a re-
suit of which the road had withdrawn
| from it's original proposition and de-
J clined to handle the army for love or
money. 81 have heretofore been
sympathizer with the railroads"
the officials of the Rio Grande Western
does away with all of my former al
legiance. 1t was the most cowardly
! piece of work ever perpetrated IN this
world, when the road had offered to
carry the army from Salt Lake city
/ to Grand Junction for the sum OF SoO0,
| to Denver for 81 900 and to Kansas
! City for 81 500 and was ready to live
up to the agreement for the governor,
Mayor Baskin and other leaders in the
| Democratic party to go and Visit the
/ officials of the road and demand that
| they withdraw their offer. This was
the reason the company refused to
! handle the soldiers of the commonweal
I and on account of that lntlmldatlon
! the road demanded more money than
/ the committee could raise. The rail-
roads of this country
ARE COMBINED AGAINST THE
PEOPLE.
1t is the rich against the poor and the
combination is robbing the people in
the attempt to obtain control OF the
country.
! want to say to you that the army
/ will start from Murray for Bingham
| Junction on the Rio Grande western
at 2 o'clock and will there go INTO
camp for the night. Many Oh the
soldiers are only half clothed and
many are without shoes but the start
| for Washington is to be made and we
are not going to walk, either. OF this
/ one thing the officials of the Rio
| Grande Western may rest assured
Carter then denounced as untrue the
alleged statement there was plenty OF
work in this territory at ~ per ody
/ and but few men who would accept
! that wage. He then proceeded to fly
| off on a tangent and declared that this
wholesale lying and SANDER must
cease. The statement he attributed 10
The Herald but when he descended
from the platform admitted that ne had
not read the article, but based MS talk
upon what he had been tolo-
/ The general then drew patnetlc
picture of the life at the camp OF the
| conmonwealers in the old lead works
/ at Murray and pleaded with the people
to lend what aid they could ana eH-
horted them to demand OF the railroad
company transportation for the army
on its journey east -
thing?'' called out the general. Com
panies which have stolen entire rail-
roads now say that if one poor man
steals a ride on their trains he snail De
arrested and put in jail. we WIN en-
| deavor to secure peaceful seIllenleht
and adjustment of this matter, or tneTe
will be a terrible revolution. l want 10
tell you that the Salt Lake division OF
the commonweal army is going east in
| spite of Governor West, the militia or
| the entire garrison of Fort Douglas.
None of them can stop US.
The audience was worked UP TO a
great pitch, and when the general end
ed his remarks he was given three
hearty cheers, while Governor West re-
ceived as many groans. Carter de-
scended and was overwhelmed with
congra tulations Women crowded
around to grasp his hand and wish him
and the army God speed on the journey
land. After bidding a general good-by
Carter jumped into a waiting carriage
and was rapidly driven to Murray,
where the army was in waiting for the
word of command to move. The cheers
of the multitude followed.
STUBBS TAKES THE HELM.
| After the departure of the general,
John Stubbs assumed the dictatorship
of the meeting and announced John
Boyle, loud mouthed and filled to the
brim with bilIngsgate, as the next
peculiar to Boyle. The railroads and
every other creature not of what he
terms the laboring class came in for a
share in his abuse. The speaker adj
vocated the immediate formation of a
line of march for the purpose of pro-
ceeding to the Rio Grande Western Of
| fees and demanding a train for the
transportation Of the army now en-
camped at Bingham Junction, declaring
! that he would lead the procession. The
! idea did not meet with the approval
of the crowd at that particular time.
| The people were DESTROYS of hearing
other speakers and for the purpose of
stirring up a little more enthusiasm
| Boyle continued his talk. In conclusion
he sang out: THE idea of road max
ing a propositionefor transportation and
then just because a committee consist
ing of Governor West, Mayor Baskin
and others equally as culpable, request
ed that the offer be withdrawn, crawl
in its hole and pull the hole in after
MRS. WOLVERINE,
of the Woman's Relief Corps of the
lGrand Army of the Republic, hesitat-
lingly mounted the platform and said
that while she was not prepared to de-
lliver a speech, her heart was with the
movement and her sympathy went out
TO the families, the wives and children
lof the Commonwealers who have start
led east TO help the west out. The wo-
men were willing to put bread in the
mouths of the little children who are
now crying to their mothers and fathers
for something to eat, there being moth
ing to give them at home. Mrs. vii
Isey, with tears streaming down ner
face, said her husband was one of the
soldiers who left the city with Carter
and her heart was filed with the spirit
Iof the movement. She begged for as
Islstance for the cause and said that she
knew from personal experience that
there were many people in this CITY
Iactually starving to death for lack of
1.-THE common necessities of life Her
Esacrtlce had been heard, the parting
with her husband for the good of the
whole people. Mrs McGraW, another
Imember of the relief corps said She
hardly knew what to say, all that could
be said had been said, but she was de-
lsirous of expressing her sympathy for
the cause and the brave men who had
Istarted on the eastward journey. Some
thing must be done at once by the gov
lernment, she declared The people can
mot wait for a whole year They must
have immediate relief or they will do
something desperate.
