The Democratic campaign was for
and if the firing of the first guns may
be taken as an omen of the future, there
is no. room for doubt as to what the
outcome of the battle will be. The
Democracy has arisen in it's might and
victory, glorious victory, shall wait
upon it.
There was meeting in the Twenty
third ward where Waldemar Van Colt,
Oscar W. Moyle and others spoke. A
G. Norrell, James H. Moyle and John
B. Timmony eXpounded the doctrines
of Democracy at combined rally of
the Fourth and Seventh wards. Hon.
J. r. Letcher, r. w. Sloan and D. F.
Collett interested the people of the
First ward and the annex. The people
of the Third and Eighth wards were
addressed by Hon. T. S. Richards, G.
w. Snow and B. T. Lloyd, while the
fort was held in the Ninth and Tenth
wards by Hon. P. L. Williams, LIE
Grand Young and H. A. Smith
The Fourth and Seventh Wards.
The Democratic outdoor rally held
last evening at the corner of First West
and Fifth South streets was in every
respect a grand rally. The evening be-
ing fine, the air balmy and the pros
pect, which was realized, of hearing
brilliant speeches, caused a great out
pouring of all classes.
The grounds were Illuminated by
electric lights and Chinese lanterns. A
stand had been erected and a large
streamer and flags floated to the
breeze.
THE oaetiop was caIIad to order nv
H. D., Folsom, who introduced l. NJ.
Waddell as chairman. Mr.. Waddell
briefly reviewed the principles of the
two great national parties, giving sub
stantial reasons why the people should
support the Democracy, concluding his
remarks by calling on
JUDGE NORRELL.
The judge said we are entering upon
an interesting campaign, one in which
one of the principle considerations will
be, which party shall dominate in this
territory. The Republican party-true
to it's old tactics-is, as usual, claiming
everything, but November would find
them saying as they have said on other
occasions, after their extravagant claims
had disappeared, "Oh! it has been an
off year with us"
| On the silver question the judge was
particularly forceful and convincing.
He went carefully through the history
| of the chief features of all silver leg
Iislation by the Republican party since
1873, producing Congressional Record
reports in proof of the fact that the
decentralization of silver was accom-
plished by the Republican party, and
| yet with consummate effrontery, they
say they are the friends of silver.
| On the other hand the Democratic
party has proven itself the true friend
of the white metal, by using their in
tfiuence against the anti-silver legisla-
ton of the g. o. p.
In former years the great objection
the Republican party urged against
democracy was: 'They are the
friends of hard money! Yes, and they
are still the friends of hard money
Why did Senator John P. Jones leave
the Republican party? And Stewart
and H. W. Lawrence? Because they
Icould not endorse the anti-siIver ac-
tons of that party.
On the tariff question, Mr.. Norrel
] Twas equally interesting. He quoted
from the Tribune and read some edi-
torials from that paper, proving, ac-
lcording to the Republican organ OF
this city, that the depressed condition
lof the country was not chargeable tc
the Democratic administration, but
had been growing from the time the
Republican party demonetized silver
in 1873, until October, 1898, when the
great eliminating disaster occurred.
Mr. Norrell concluded by suggesting
THAT whenever a Republican asks 9
Democrat to vote the 6. o. p. ticket
the following would be proper ques
lions to ask: "What has that party
done for siIver?" What has it done
for Utah?" ''Who secured statehood
for Utah?" "Was it Ike Trumbo, OF
was it Joseph l.. Rawlins?"
The Gallant Third.
One of the largest meetings of the
campaign was that held at the Thirt
ward schoolhouse, an outdoor meet
ling, last evening". George Stringfel
low, Hon. F. S. Richards, George w
iSnow, B. T. Lloyd and other promi
lnent Democrats occupied the plat
