DESERET, Oct. 26.-The Hon. w. H.
King was billed to address the citizens
of Deseret, Hinckley and Oasis precincts
a 1870 on Wednesday evening last in
Deseret school house, but owing to the
delay of the south-bound train he did
not arrive until about p. m. How
ever. when he did arrive he found a
crowded house of both old and young,
Democrats and Republicans, although
a number were disappointed at not be-
ing able to remain so late, to hear the
talented speaker. He arrived in COM
pany with Mr.. w. A. Ray, the Demo-
cratic nominee as member of the iegls-
lature from this district Mr.. King
commenced by saying that ne did not
see why the people should be welded
to the Republican party, compared the
candidates of the two parties, claiming
for the Democratic nominees superb
ority of executive ability; compared
John T. Game against Wells, and Mr.
Gaines ten years experience as our
representative, against the experience
of a. bank clerk: also Karl G.. Maeser
for superintendent of public instruction,
as thoroughly we'll educated gentle
man of great experience and in every
way worthy of the peoples support,
while his opponent, John R. Park, was
an old bachelor and was only welded
TO his library. Allen is a thorough,
honest man, but could not be COM
pared as the equal Of Mr.. Roberts as
he was or is not as well acquainted
with the peoples wants, for Mr.. Rob
erts was a man of the people and we
should not be blind in our partnership
He then referred to the judiciary
judges-they should be men that were
thoroughly conversant with the laws
of our territory such men as had
been selected by the Democratic party
Thurman and Young were men OF
authority and experience on our irriga-
ton laws. Young had acted as judge
advocate; was grandson to the first
governor of Utah; asked if it were not
best to vote for men that had feelings
in common with the people, those
selected by the Republicans were all
carpet baggers.
Next spoke on the silver questionable
had understood that the Republicans
said it was the issue of the day. He
was glad to hear this, for the Republi-
cans demonetized it, and he
had failed in hearing of any
Republican convention inserting it
into their platform while a num-
Der of Democrats had strongly urged
the reconciliation at Is to l. Referred
to the Mckinley bill-ex-President Har-
rison, Reed and others had said that
the bill was wrong-the Republican
party had brought ruin and failures
upon the nation. and had never passed
a law that was in the interest of the
poor man. but legislated always to
the interest of the rich-referred to
the Cordage trust. and said that in less
than five years they had made $4,000
600; the Democrats had placed Irvine
on the free list. Irvine sold under the
Mckinley bill here at this place for II
cents, but since it was put on the free
list it only fetched to 10 cents. Spoke
on the bond issues-explained how it
was all in the interest of the rich
while the poor man was taxed to pay
the interest on the same. Referred to
the scarcity of money-it was because
the Republicans had legislated so that
