The Second precinct Democrats held
grand rally in the Continental market
last night.

let him attribute it to a dose of night
mare.
The house was crowded as usual and
everybody was attentive.
h. b. Folsom, president of the Second
precinct Democratic club, called the
meeting to order, after a selection by
the drum corps. In few brief, but well
chosen remarks Mr.. Folsom introduced

his fault, for his explanation was lucid,
succinct and Ineligible.

General Burton next took up the tariff
question which he handled in an able
way, succeeding which he pointed out
who had been Utah's friends in the past.
Democrats, said General Burton, have
given to Utah the rights denied by Re

A brief review of Joseph Rawlins' ca
reer in Congress followed. Concluding
his speech General Burton advised all to
vote the Democratic ticket that the fu-

HON. FARLEY L. WILLIAMS
succeeded General Burton. Mr.. Williams
chief points were, the past record of the
democratic party and vigorous denun-
citation of the A. P. A. which latter sub
ject received lengthy consideration.
Preceding the A. P. A. matter, Mr..
Williams devoted a few moments to
presage of victory, asserting that the
chances for Democratic success were
never better.
The tariff received attention at the
hands of the speaker at some length,
after which the un-Democratic organiza-
ton referred to received attention.
The A. P. A. received a vigorous and
caustic criticism at the speakers hands,
its object being clearly shown as IN
Democratic and un-American.
Hon. ]. A. Williams made brief
speech in which he urged all to vote the
Democratic ticket.
The meeting then adjourned.
