THE TIMPANOGOS.

The M 9eting of the TimDanogos So
ciety Thursday night was an important
one. 1t constitutes the first step towards
the party reorganization Tor the Gext
struggle. The spirit manifested by all
the members was most admirable and
the promise given Of an energetic and
thorough campaign this summer and
fall is good. The old fiint-locks are rele-
gated to the rear and the fight is given
over to the fig ting Winchesters. There
is to be no child's play, no nonsense, no
nake-believe, but real down, earnest
and manly lighting. The majority
cast last fall must be quintupled. This
great democratic county must come
out and go on the record as one in
which all party confidence may be
safely reposed. The brave Timpa-
nogos chieftains have their war-paint
on. Their guns are in order and when
the fighting commences we may be sure
of victory winning work at the hands
of the braves. BY such means will it
be fully developed that not only Utah
county but Utah territory are truly
soundly and safely democratic. If
there is is anything worth fighting for
in this life, surely the principles of
democracy are worth the best efforts of
her sons. She cannot fight well and
win victories without organization and
discipline. These both will be fUrn-
ished by the Timpanogos and other
societies inside Of the party lines.
There is q resolute purpose among the
democrats to make one other battle for
silver, ere we give over to the gold bug
republicans.
1t is plain since the Cleveland club
convention that we have nothing to ex-
pect from the republicans for silver.
So it is that while fighting for mere
party success, we are also fighting for
the living chance OF the west. In our
coming victory in Utah is wrapped up,
perchance, the fate of silver as
money. We must prove ourselves not
only worthy of success, but compe-
tent to win it. Surely no dearer or
more sacred principle ever beckoned
men to deeds of high emprise. The
fate of our neighbors, the fate of sur
rounding states, the good of high, low,
rich, the poor and all depend upon
how we bear ourselves before the enc
my in this campaign.
We cannot, therefore, begin the work
of preparation too soon, nor pursue il
too closely when it is commenced. Money
is needed and will be needed through
out the campaign. This we must pro-
vide and no good old democrat, whether
of the Timpanogos or not, will refuse
to contribute of his stock to serve a
CAUSE as dear to the hearts Of all pa
triots as this is. Of course the society
will formulate a policy under this
head which will result in a sufficient
sum to insure the best results. The

sacrifice for the common good is. They
know how to make it as well as how to
fight, The party Of the gold standard
masquerades in Utah as a free coinage
party. The false trappings will be
torn from them and they must stand
in their true coloTs this fall. The true
free coinage men among them will
come over to the democratic camp
and help to swell our majority. There
is many man in the republican party
in Utah today who is groaning under
the weight of his poverty who is ask
ing why the Cleveland convention did
not give out a sound for free coinage.
When the proper answer is given to the
inquiry he will come over and vote
with the democracy in very self.de-
tense.
Indeed has the Timpanogos and all
other democratic societies a work to
do. work of the graVest Importance.
Then let US set about it and accom- |
plish it on time.
