ALL OF ESCALANTE
we're enthused on the evening of the
goth. The notice Of the meeting was
unavoidably short, but the large as
sembly room was filled to it's utmost
capacity.
There is something in the atmos-
phere, scenery and natural resources of
this region which causes men, women
and children to be Democrats-any
other kind Of results could not be ex-
pected when the situation is fully UNDER
stood. Though long ways from bust
ness centres, yet here has grown up a
live, energetic and Furnishing settle
ment, the second in point of numbers
in Garfield county, while in most re-
spects it ranks first, especially in the
spirit of Democracy.
This town has commanded the re-
spect and consideration of both politi-
cal parties, having been favored with
the two county conventions, but neither
seemed to arouse the spirit and interest
evinced on the occasion of the visit of
Messrs Letcher and Tanner.
That stalwart and ever active and
vigilant Democrat, William Alvey, soon
awakened the whole settlement and
when the speakers entered the meeting
house they were greeted by a large,
Intelligent and enthusiastic audience.
Music by the string band lent a
pleasant feature to the occasion and the
orators were greeted at every point
with applause and marked attention
was accorded them until midnight, and
even at that hour, as the Hon. J. r.
Letcher was concluding his peroration
on statehood and the future OF Utah
every one present was leaning toward
the speaker" with a fixed interest sell
dom seen.
Escalante was aroused. To the wav-
ering decision was given, to the faith
full strength was added, while with the
opposition CONSERVATION and certain
defeat was to be readily recognized.
To Thomas Haps, Peter Barker, w.
P. Wilson, Edmund Allen and the host
of workers here the county of Garfield
will be indebted for her political re-
demption for they have stood the test
of fire, of water, and undue influence
as no other people, and have come out
unscathed and still firm in the faith
of Democracy But not alone in the
war of Democratic progress is this
beautiful town of the south,
EVEN CANNoNvILLE,
aided by her near neighbors in the val
leys of the Pahvante, such as Henri
vile, Losee, and Georgetown, furnished
a, kind reception and a goodly audience
faith ON the evening of Monday, Oct.
20.
Mr.. K. A. Fletcher presided at the
meeting, while in the audience were
to be seen such workers as Abram
Workman, of Georgetown; A a. Stew
ems, of Henriville; and W. w. Roundy,
of Losee.
Although bearing the name of the
Republican candidate for delegate, yet
Democrats grow and flourish at Can
nonville, and where Republican ora
tors could not find a place to lay their
heads-(as they were of the rich and
we'll BORN, the defenders of the true
faith were made welcome. The trans
formation over the range
TO ASSAYS
includes some of the fine scenery OF
which this region may well boast-and
when the usual level is reached the for
nation is found to contain about the
same class of earnest and sincere Dem
ocrats-who, under the leadership of
Cornelius Workman, James Dutton, NJ.
Hatch and H. P. Glove, have secured
a firm footing in old Mammoth pre-
cinct.
Although the meeting was dislocated
as to time Oct. 23), yet school house
full of people greeted the speakers, and
after a popular song by one of the
Home Talent club, were addressed at
length upon the issues of the day.
a drive of twenty miles up the Sewer
valley and over the low rim OF It's
basin brought the orators to Kane
