was harmonious, it was ultra-enthusi
astic, and the stock Of enthusiasm was
so great the more it was drawn upon
the more it seemed to increase, so
that the grand rally in the evening
didn't suffer anything from the sue
cess of the morning. There was
crowd on the steps of the theatre before
the doors opened, impatiently waiting
for admission, and at 7:45, when the
portals swung inward there was rush
for seats. By s o'clock the theatre swas
filled, and soon after the proceedings
opened. The speeches were good, every
one of them. They were entertaining,
they were instructive, and there was
no slang or abuse of the opposing
party or its candidates. Facts, and
facts only, were stated They spoke
loud enough in all conscience The au-
dience was interested from start to fin
ish and the numerous ladies who at
tended showed their approval and ap-
probation. Held's band, The Herald
Glee club, and the Democratic Drum
corps, delighted the assembly by their
performances at intervals Altogether
the rally was satisfactory in every par
tcular. The name of Joseph L. Raw
Inns ELECTED the most hearty applause
whenever it was mentioned, and when
he stepped on the stage to make his
speech he received an ovation. Victory

elected, and know no rea-
son why his opponent should be
elected. Just what claim Frank
cannon has to the suffrages of the
people of Utah l don't know. We must
leave 1t to the Republican party to tell
us. He is a man without experience
He has held no official position of trust
from the hands of the people, He was
city councillor at Ogden and that is all.
NOW we present you a man with a
record; man who has shown himself
to be worthy to rank with the hest
statesmen in the land. He has given
you an accounting of his Stewardship
and it is wonderful record. one of
which the whole people of Utah have
reason to be proud. Not from anv
reasons of his own but solely in de-
ference to your wishes he comes for
ward again to serve the people. He be-
longs to the party Of freedom. the party
of right. The other candidate belongs
to the party of deception, the party of
great pretentions.
A speaker at Wasatch explained the
course of the Republicans in voting
bounties to the sugar refiners, to the
canaigre root people and others without
providing any funds to pay them, ex-
cept from the school money, by saying
that the Republican party was an
honest party. 1t had declared for
bounties and had to keep its pledges
and could do it no other way than by
robbing the schools
The Tribune, when it became known
that the Democrats were certain to
grant statehood, braced itself up and
delivered an obituary stating that the
Republicans had at last forced the
Democrats to pass the enabling act.
