Office out of his reach, and who was q
member of the only Republican Iegis
lature, and of the most peculiar &C.
tons therein on his part, was the
next speaker, and it can be said to his
credit this time that he did not rur
away until he had spoken his little
piece He referred to the demonetiza-
ton of silver in 1873, but said that the
Republican party had never undertake
en- anything but what they were able
to carry out. The audience did not de-
ny this, for 1t was Self-evident that
they had demonetized silver, and from
the attitude of the party it would re-
main in that condition until the Dem
ocratic party brought about a change
He said that the Republican admins
/ tration had made the country pros
porous during the past thirty years
and now, after a few months of Demo-
cratic rule, the country was almost
ruined, and likened the situation to the
noble edifice in Salt Lake city which
was forty years in building, and which
I by dynamite could be RACED ito the
ground in a few moments. Then who
said he, would be responsible for the
disaster, those who built or those who
tore down?
Why, Mr.. Editor, there is not a school
| boy with the average intelligence that
a boy should have, but what would
| say that the Republican party is re
sponsible for the great depression
thqougho our nation; for have they
not for the past thirty years been
enacting vicious legislation and under
mining the structure of our glorious
country? The speaker forgot to men,
ton that his party had taxed the peo-
pie with high tariff until they rose UP
in mass to throw off the load that had
become too heavy to longer be borne; he
forgot to mention that the Repu blican
party had for thirty years refused to
admit Utah as one of the siSterhood of
states but had heaped abuse and hard
ships upon the people instead. In fact
he forgot everything but this: That we
should lick the hand that smites; he
did not say it in so many words, but
the inference was drawn from his re-
marks that that was the ''idee.''
Come again Mr.. Eldredge, for you
are sure ITO make Democrats out of
those who have not been dyed in the
wool. Some Of the ladies present said,
after the meeting, that he acted and
spoke as though he did not believe what
he was teaching.
The citizens out this way, almost to
man, deprecates the language used by
Joseph F. Smith at the Republican
meeting held in the Seventeenth ward
OF your city a Snort Time ago. Iney
have listened to his remarks as a re-
Hgious teacher with pleasure. But
Oh, what a. change in the morning."
Perhaps 1t is all for the best, for is it
not as we'll to know of foes within as
of foes without? The statements of
unwise and unthinking men hereafter
will have to be taken with a grain of
salt
The Democrats of Summit are in eX-
cellent shape and working order; they
are confident of a glorious victory.
Every man on our ticket is a man of
known honesty, ability and patriotism;
men who have the interest of the whole
people at heart and will work for the
benefit of all and not for the few to
the injury of the many.
The county offices have been literally
distributed throughout the county, so
that each portion may be represented,
and this should and no doubt will, add
much to the strength of the ticket.
Our primary meetings and conven-
tons have been harmonious; there have
been nothing done by which a conten-
ton could arise and the best of feelings
are enjoyed one towards the other.
The campaign has opened bright with
prospects of success and the Democratic
party, to the dismay of the Republic |
cans, are united to a man and are in
better shape than ever before for the |
fight 49, FITZALAN.
