psrJ1 CITY. Nov. Hon. Joseph Il.
Rawlins and Mr.. J. E. Denny spoke last
night AT Park City and Our joe was
greeted with the largest assembly ever
seen at this place. Long before the hour
of beginning the hall was full, and be-
fore the speakers began the house was
damned. crowded down close to the or
cbestra. the aisles packed solid from
front to back, and every inch of stand
snp room was occupied, even the ladiet
standing.
There were visitors from kamas,
Peoa. Woodland, Rockport and other
outside precincts, and these were taken
on the stage, while fifty others were adj
mitted by the back entrance and stooc,
In the wings about the stage and be-
hind. while hundreds more clamored at
front and back for entrance.
The hail Will hold 500. ordinarily; last
night at least a third more were wedged
into ii.
The band and The Herald Glee club
amused the audience and served TO re-
strain their Impotence until the ap-
pearance of the speakers.
Mr.. DENNY OPENS.
Mr.. Denny made the opening speech.
He gave q concise history of both great
parties on the monetary question, es-
pecially the silver question. and the
congressional records. He said that Mr..
Frank j. Cannon had been reported as
having said on that same platform, that
q Republican Senate had passed a free
coinage BILL and he proceeded to punca
eure this bubble by showing that when
all were present 1t was a Republican
I'm vfv,ar IL, hot
Joritv, Dut out of forty-three senators
voting yea, twenty-seven Democrats
voted for free coinage and only fourteen
Republicans voted for it, thus showing
they had been wilfully misled by the
man who was asking their suffrages
and trust. How could they trust him in
Congress to represent them, if he would
make Misrepresentation to them to win
their votes? Mr.. Denny made a strong
speech and was greeted with applause
throughout.
OUR JOE"
Mr.. Rawlins was introduced as the
next delegate to Congress, and received
tremendous applause, lasting several
minutes
He began by saying that new con-
ditions had come to the people of Utah:
that they were preparing Utah to take
her place among the states of the
Slnion. There had been a division of
the people on national party lines, and
local conditions and differences were
passing into history
The Republican party had set out
some six weeks ago, to carry on a cam
paign based on party principles, bun
they had since realized their weakness
and had failed to follow it.
Now. they were busy circulating in
outside places cards and mailing ur
placards in a petty and underha nded
manner, making charges against fndi-
vIdual members Of the Democratic
party.
Was this a campaign on national
party lines-on principles?
Frank j. Cannon, in the south OF
Utah, had held up before his audi.
ences the card, reciting the different
acts Of favorable legislation secured
for Utah, and in an attitude of rever.
ence had told the people the credit OF
these are not due to Joseph L. Rawlins
but TO a divine Providence. When Mr.
Cannon came up north of Beaver coun-
~ he had told the people that it was
because the matter was ripe, the time
was opportune and this legislation had
come to Utah spontaneously and Raw
]ins had nothing to do with it. Other
ways Of accounting for this legisla.
ton and leaving out Mr.. Rawlins were
Shown up as having been reSorted t
by Mr.. Cannon at different places tc
suit the minds of the people, as Mr.
Cannon imagined, for the purpose. Of
detracting from the credit of Mr.. Raw
Inns. Was this sort Of campaigning
drawn on national party lines?
John VI. Zane had written letter
or circular, setting forth numerous
charges, each Of which Mr.. Rawlins
carefully dissected and showed how
that gentleman did not know tht
truth, or wilfully sent broadcast what
he knew was false.
No! The Republicans were resortins
to falsehood, misrepresentation and
gross imposition in the hopeless des
peration OF gaining votes at any price
1t was not a campaign by the Repub
iicans on party merit.
Then Mr.. Rawlins, with the mastery
of perfect knowledge, traced the his
tory OF the two parties in their leg
