BOUNTY AGAIN
THE Theme.
Continued from page -

they will find a strong minority stand
ing on the threshold of the new state,
beating back the hooking hosts.
(Applause.) Schemes are floating in
the air. The fact that our resources
are as yet untouched should make us
more careful. What is needed is a
steady growth, founded more securely
because it is not yet forced.
The people of the territory have been
conservative in debt, as Thurman
stated. In 1881 the per capita was
only 81 cents. In 1890 it is $3.50. In
the last five years the state has been
lunging and plunging into debt, and
now the state, county and municipal
Indebtedness is over 100000. He was
informed that with the school debt the
interest every year would amount to
100000.
Morris, of Salt Lake-So you blame
this to bounty?
Roberts-No. I simply wanted to
point out present conditions because
the expenses of statehood will be
larger. In the face of all this the
Republicans intend to leave the con-
Stitution open so that every corpora
ton which so desires can come at the
legislature and get their bonds en-
support SO the evil might be warded
off.
Must Go to the Der, Ocrats.
Gentlemen, you are only serving no.
tice on the people Of the state that
their only safety will lie in going to
the Democratic party, which will not
use the credit of the government for
private institutions. The gentleman
from Salt Lake CEichnor) had said the
subject should be deferred until the
next campaign. He then grew dra-
in nd in h orb Ia n
call out. Lay on. Macduff. and
damned be he who first cried Hold!
Enoughv" If he remembered the
story, Macduff had laid on and the
blood-stained king, whose defiance had
been caused by his desperation, was
laid low at the feet of the man he
had wronged. Is this prophetic OF the
next campaign? Naughter)
If the matter was left to the next
campaign he would make an illustra-
ton in reply to the suggestion Of
James regarding Waterloo. The hight
has not been a Waterloo. The people
have been watching a Marengo. Be
fore the campaign is over the Republi-
cans will have learned that it is a
Marengo, and by 5 o'clock they would
find that the Democrats had won the
victory and there would be Demo-
cratic state.
L.
this is not a partisan question!
Robepts-It should not be. But the or
gan of the Republican party says
it is.
Eichnor-Are you arguing it from a
non-partisan standpoint?
Roberts, would have liked to do
so, but when 1 heard the party whip
crack and heard the speeches of gen.
tlemen on the other side, | could not.
A Partisan Question.
Goodwin said that a few days before
there had been a roaring lion on the
floor This had been Gagged. Now
tiger had been presented and members
were called upon to see that the claws
had been cut and the animal was
harmless as a house cat. The ques-
ton was partisan. He was not sur
prised that seventeen Republican
states had put in this provision. THAI
was always possible when some of
the majority would break away and
vote with the minority. He thought
the state might sometime be compelled
to use its credit to give its poor en-
ployment He said that the govGrn-
ment had lost nothing by the Pacific
railroad steal as it had gotten back all
it paid out in benefits.
At 1890 Farr reminded Goodwin that
if the convention meant to go to Lo-
gan it would have to move. After
sitting down severely OF James, who
wanted TO speak, an adjournment was
taken
