A turkish musician playing a Scotch

amusement than did Charley Stanton
Republican candidate for county clerk

attorney; c. Z. Allen of the "John p

Salt Lake Workingmen's Republican
cIuo heid In the old Federal court
evening. i0't
OF course the club transacted busi-
ness. Whenever twelve men get to-
eetner some action is taken, and here
is the result. --ei

was was designated a glee club sang,
song yelept Come Back Grover. to
Me" Whoever Grover is, he will make
the biggest mistake of his life if he
comes back. 1t is fair to presume that
ne had a thirty yard handicap and If
ne sun maintains the lead any looking
over his shoulder would be foolish. for
the "glee" aforesaid was of nature
calculated to make any one strike for
tai timber. The quartette sang scme-
thing labelled Free Silver but as no
Key was furnished the listener declined,
to applaud.
Charley Stanton then appeared. He
is a OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES for office.
II speech is silver and silence is golden
stanton never saw a IS coin in his life
Talk oh, no, that young man didn't
talk. He warbled! No one but a
musical stenographer could have
caught his remarks but the apprecia-
tive silence which greeted his most i'm
portant sallies were indicative of his
reception at the hands of his fellow
horny-handed.
c. E. Allen, of the John P. Jones',
club, spoke-but let that pass. Suf-
Hcient to say that everyone present es
capped. Some ratio" isn't nearly as
popular with c. E. as it was something
Sver a year ago. Sixteen to one is now
The slogan.
= C. o. Whittemore arose. When the
word arose" is applied to c. O., it
means something. He lowered, doomed
up, glanced over, beamed upon. OBJ
served, took iii and sized up every man
present. This task finished he prepared
his statements with Fellow workfnen. -
To say that every one in the room was
astonished was putting it mild. Dykes.
the carpenter; Tyson. the plasterer;
DoXey, the stone mason; Freeman. the
electrician, and Stewart the general-all-
around, felt of themselves to see if
they were there. Then, like hen with
twelve turkey eggs, they settled
Whittemore in a few well selected re-
marks from various Republican news
paper clippings, dwelt at some length
upon the attitude of the Republican
party toward labor. To exactly repro
duce his expressions would require a
chalk plate of car load of alive
partridges and twelve million white
pigeons, of the domestic variety. All
condensation of the speech in cold type
can be boiled down as follows:
4 Happy - home - dinner-pail - LITTLE /
-carving-knife = black
smiths forge and several other articles. |
Had the band played Annie Rooney
and the f1renen the hose the meeting /
would not have been any damper.
When Whit. finished Wiley. our own
Wiley Brown, arose Wiley is like /
Whit. only thinner, and when he talks |
has the advantage of the latter, in this
that he usually says something. He
was surprised, extremely surprised, TO |
learn that Whittemore was a working
man. Had anybody else made the in
famous statement he would have de- |.
MED the allegation, defied the allega-
tor and shed his Prince Albert. But
eomfrsg as it did he was willing to adj
nit efthat the statement had good
s<oUnds ard would admit without de-
slurrer. Wiley then set his foretop
gallant studdin' sails and ran over the !
course so quickly that the club found ,
